What's the story for this team?

great coach...weak kids

I heard it was weak coach, great kids.

must be a great coach already then

Great week to coach kids.

Greek wheat to catch cod.

I heard he will have agreat team put together. some imports coming and has some great coachable kids to work with. i think this team will suprise alot of other teams and has a great long term approach.

you don't know what your taking about

you're wrong. he's knows cause he's the coach

not the coach, but know what he has coming up. I don't even have a 98 kid, so beleive what you want. ask around and you will be comfortable with what you hear. he is not a coach that will tell you something and change his mind. ask ds he'll tell you he is not going to shorten the bench and than look out. heard him talk to other's about it... or ask other parents and you will be suprised with what year hear...

who's ds, so I can ask?

wow

5:08 is pretending he doesn't have a 98 kid so he can bash DS. Typical. If you want a good coach, go to DS (Devils 98). There is a reason those kids play so well.

Correct -- he has a 99 playing on a 98 team. A little misleading.

great coach

5:08 is MY

You guys shouldn't be listening to any of the BS on this site, or use this site to make decisions for your kids. If you want to know about DS, call him or talk to some of his parents. It's that simple. Any coach can tell you whatever you want to hear. DS has principals and his actions speak louder than words. Better still, you can watch his games and see for yourself. He's in the playoffs starting this week.

5:08 is MY what?

is that why he's been scouting for two months. if he was that good he would field a team no problem, they would come to him and he wouldn't waist his time

who's coming, who's not what's it look like. seem's to be a new team from scratch. might not be a bad thing??

All this scratching is making me itch.

Can you really use Greek wheat to catch cod?

Hey, you're good. How did you guess it was the same author?

member dis

team is ranked top 8 on most AA threads

Is that too high or too low? I haven't hear too many great things.

thats a playoff spot so they must be ok

Royals have some great talent along with good talent just like all the top 8 teams, should make for a great season

yes. now that people are over the tryout blues, I hope its safe to come on here with out getting bashed

Royals will be starting from the bottom working their way up simply because we are a new team,
our mix of talent and chemistry is every thing you need to succeed, We will not be the team of the year in the standings but we will be in our hearts

you never know because if kids have heart for the game anything goes

Last two posts brought a tear to my eye.
Good luck Royals!

all the best "BLUE"

Lets go Royals!!!!

beautiful guys, beautiful!!!

Did we all have a nice July!!!

yes

So sweet

how many teams will enter the king klance

I predict 8 or 9

not us

who's got the team next year. any word

RA will continue.

And who's coming

thought it was RD

???

RA runs a good camp for AA players, his biggest problem is that no nyhl players came to his skate. Why?? because he did not coach a novice select team, just a new kid on the block in the 98 world. next season will be different, speculations . . 3 players coming from DD 1 player from rangers and goalie from the panthers.

I also was told VP trainer will be on the TR bench next season

ok. heard he doesn't have the team so go figure

guess he is atarting from scratch. too many hl players on that team effects the rest.

RA originally applied for Amesbury Attack A team next season ( wanting to keep his core ) The TR GM asked him back and introduced him to some parents from other teams.
I know the parents who are coming have asperations for their children to do well with the hopes of building a strong team that may keep the Nats on their toes. lets see how it works out.

really.

this happens all the time

what happens?

Congratulations RA.

When the GM calls YOU GO

We still have plenty of hockey remaining THIS SEASON so I hope the parents kids and coaches who are involved in this deal stay focused and committed to the teams they belong with.

Go get some ice RA its time for a BIRFFFFDAY SKATE

10:19 at the end of the day it doesn't matter. coaches and parents break promises all the time. and not big deal it's the royals

I know some players that have been on 4 teams in 4 seasons so I guess it will be 5 for 5

it's not a bad thing to move from year to year.

Coaches do not agree with you

Parents do. it's about finding the right coach for your child.

Have you seen this team play, what have those kids learned, still cant move the puck, this coach has no clue, why bring your kid to that coach, only decent players he has are leaving from what I herd.

agree, development will take you so far the kids have to want to develop.

what was that?

so its the kids that don't want to develop? not the coach that can't develop. wow RA camp blaiming the kids for lack of development. Now thats a great coach.

maybe kids are not ready for that type of development. ( Complex ) They may not get it, it doesn't matter how much time he spends on them. That could be it.

Thats not it

what is it

its over

yes it is and a new year will start soon.

For those of you bantering over the kids and development let me offer you some info.

The kids absolutely have to want to "develop", and I believe that they originally did want to, but as they year has progressed, and they have come to realize what the oganization is all about, how some are treated as the "golden-one" and allowed to do whatever they wish, they have become resentful.

Not to mention probably having heard how their parents have spoken about the organization, and what the real motivation behind the team was.

Lastly though, the only way the kids are going to "develop" is if they put in the extra time required to do so. The only way that would happen is for their parents to actually bring them out to the practices so they can spend time working as a team, practicing the plays that they coach needs them execute during games that will assist them in winning.

As nine year-olds, they rely on their parents to ensure that they are making it out to practices. Without that, wouldn't you say it pretty hard for any "development" to occur?

what was the real motivation behind the team?

thanks

There are too many friends with these Royal's teams. I really feel for the kids coming into this for the 99s. It will be the same thing all over again. Heard another Vaughn team coming in. I hope they look at the kids at tryouts instead of committing to all players before hand.

i beleive the kids theat are commited and there are only a handful will be contributers to this new team. so i think the team will do much better next year.

Are they all friendsor relatives of the coach or manager. This is usual.

Happy Valentines Day to the little short guys mom, the kid who played center. SECRET ADMIRER.

Is that the kid that was played a lot, but was probably Select at best?

I thought you had to be at least 8 to play in the league. How did they sneak him in?
