1) Offer your ranking of the 98 AA Mississauga teams?

2) Any Mississauga teams missing skaters or goalies?

3) Do Mississauga teams dress 17 players or less?

Braves
North Stars
Jets
Terriers
Tigers
Hornets

you could flip the Terriers and Tigers but who really knows. The early bird will give us a better idea but then again some teams have been going all out(braves no doubt) all summer and some teams did very little so we may need to wait until around Christmas to really see.

The Braves are an interesting team. The core comes from Applewood Novice Red but they had 3 dominant players who carried the team and I don't care what anyone says but you cannot replace those 3, so it will be interesting to see how they do. No doubt they will be strong but will they be dominant?

Goaltending is still a question mark? Do they still have only one goalie and where did the one they have come from? Anyone?

I don't think the Terriers will be as strong as the tigers - wouldn't be surprised if they were the weakest of the Mississauga teams.

terriers , hornets and Tigers are all a disgrace when it comes to AA hockey.

Tigers and the hornets fighting for last

Based on what has been posted, I don't see why you think the Terriers will be better than the Tigers. Core of Tigers appears to be stronger.

Who knows with Hornets...a lot of white players, some of which may have been of red calibre.

any kids who did not make an MhlA team go to the tigers or hornets and even the terriers

only true is some cases. most players could have made a MHL A team but elected to try AA

Can someone give a breakdown of the Mississauga colours?

From what I understand it goes from more developed to less:

Red,White,Blue, Green.

Would Red be like tier 1 in select, White tier 2, etc.??

9:03 must be the same a## posting on the Tigers site. How can you call a team of 9 year olds a disgrace. You're the only F'in disgrace buddy. Grow up ass##le. You need some major help.

9:51 AM
That is indeed the correct order.

Correct order with the exception of Minor Novice and Novice which in some years has a Gold division which would be the top division.

But the Gold teams are not subject to conveening like the other ones are. It would be more comparable to rep.

There is someone out there who has it in for the Tigers. I am not a Tigers parent but lighten up buddy. That person must have been at Erindale and something happened that has caused he or she alot of grief. Get some counseling or have a stiff drink or two. Remember these are 9 year old kids and would you want people trashing your kid? Get over whatever happened!

I would agree, I am familiar with most of these teams.

Out of the 6 teams I would say Braves have the most consistency since they have most of their core from the previous year. Other then that they are pretty small and have the single goalie. Should be in top 4 (finished in 3rd last year)

Jets are a mostly red/some white mix. First year coach with some good bench support. Has some fast forwards, short 1 d, of the 4 d one is quite small. Should be in top 8 (did not make playoffs last year)

North Stars have good size up front, but d looks very average, not very mobile. Will have trouble containing teams with quick forwards. (did not make playoffs last year)

Tigers are a mostly red/some white mix. Has a decent combination of speed and size. Should be in top 8. (finished in 5th last year)

Terriers mostly red/some white mix. 6 players from last place red team and some issues on the bench. Will be interesting, should be in top 10 (finished in 4th last year)

Hornets have never attracted enough high calibre players during a season to be considered a contender. Tied for last place last year.

There's my 2 cents for the day.

last year's finishes mean nothing...

11:23 is a complete idiot with not enough to do with his day. Who cares what place a team came in last year. It is a totally different group of kids that make up these teams.

Hey 1134

You bashers are so predictable, like flies that eventually show up on a pile of crap.

True, but it has a bearing when parents and kids are determining where to go prior to tryouts. Would probably explain why Terriers and Tigers had 35-40 kids at their tryouts. Since we haven't seen any of them play I would suspect based on who is on these teams that Braves will be top out of the 6. The rest are a toss up with the Hornets at the end of the line.

Boys boys, lets be nice. Like it was said before, the games begin shortly, at that point we will have a good idea where everyone fits. Kids have grown, others haven't, hockey schools,etc,etc. A summer of growth for the kids at this age is huge. It all comes out in the wash. Don't have a stroke. It's hockey, it's all good.

It will be an interesting season. I think the Braves will, or should, enjoy immediate success out of the gate given that they have a large group of core players that played together last year under the same coach (won their division)and it sounds like they played all summer. The rest of the teams will probably take a month or two to hit their stride.

I don't see a huge talent difference between the terriers, tigers, and hornets, although I'd rank the tigers as being the most talented of those three teams. Even so, I don't see the tigers beating the terriers or hornets by a wide margin. Don't know a lot about the Jets or NS, but after reading the posts, I don't see how they could have a lot more talent than the Tigers. All this should mean a lot of good games for the kids in Mississauga

And none of the teams are a disgrace to AA....

Seems there's only one clown that thinks kids are a disgrace. He must be real pleasant on the way home if Johnny's team didn't win or Johnny didn't score a goal.

NS are AAA baby...you'll see.

NS,MB and HH are all AAA..lol!

NS beat a 97AAA team this summer. We are the real deal. Watch out. You'll see.

VK dont count

doooohhhhh!

Tigers have skated all summer they didnt look so good against toros,

Toros are a top team

Were you watching the same game as me? Tigers outshot, out hustled and outhit Toros.Toros goalie saved them from a blowout, 3-2 Tigers win could have been 6-2. However he didn't save them in the shootout.

How good are the Toros? Are they expected to be a top 6 team?

You are't pounding your chest because you won a 3 on 3 championship. Wow! Glorified road hockey. Alot different game when there isn't much room to move.

hey buddy the goalie is part of the team. you barely beat them end of story. Deal with it and only a couple of your kids hit. you skated most of the summer according to this thread. You looked like a 3 on 3 team. Toros played a short bench, you guys better stop thinking you looked like the better team you didnt.

Okay - call this one pretty much a draw. Didn't both your teams play Humber Valley over the summer?

Tell us more about the Toros team ...are they a Mississauga team? How many goalies?

yes were are good in the goalie dept. need to gel as ateam

Hey 4:07 ease up a bit. You are sounding a little frustrated. If you call skating twice in June and twice in the first 2 weeks of Aug before our 8 day training camp all summer, then so be it. But man take it down a notch.

i will when you stop putting your team on a pedestal. there are 2 ways to look at stuff, maybe you could nt score not that the goalie stole it from you

hey who cares about the shootout its like winning in the dying seconds

Tigers won both game and shootout.

11:23 is the same no nothing piece of $hit that bashes every team. Go worry about your own kid and mind your own business. You are so full $hit pretending to have scouted teams.

This guy's kid was cut by the Tigers and not invited by the NS so he has an axe to grind.

Go find a real job and you won't have as much time on your hands.

Who needs your full of $hit analysis anyway.

who wants to play for the tigers even the coaches are quitting

hey 557pm its an opinion you cry baby dont like dont read. its a fair opinion and for the record nobody cares what u think

I always know it's you because you have trouble with the English language. Your opinion is like an a$$hole, everyone has one. Get over your kid being cut by the Tigers or whatever team or coach slighted you and your little superstar.

You sound like the guy a few weeks back who claimed to be scouting for a AAA team. Maybe you and him should get together unless you are one and the same?

You are entertaining, that I give you.

why do you keep brining up the Tigers

brining? Having trouble with the English language again? and no I am not with the Tigers but I do know the HC is one of the most decent people in our game. Too bad he has to put up with a$$holes like you hiding behind an anonymous chat site.

dont know him but you like to hide too little man, and how nice can he be if he has a loser like you defending him. anyway who even brought him up. must be on the staff dont worry little johnnys spot is safe kiss a$$

Is English your 2nd or 3rd language? I mean, don't get me wrong, you seem to have a grasp of it. Just at a grade 5 level. And no I am not with the Tigers but don't take it personally if your kid got cut.

I hear the Hornets are going to surprise this season.

you are part of the team you liar. and its your attitude that will sink that team, because i bet you are on the bench. hey dont forget to check spelling since you have nothing better to do

NS will rock everyone...including any AAA teams who are afraid to play us in exhibition...beating a 97AAA team this summer was enough humiliation for all of them.

I didn't know Nova Scotia had a team in the G?

7:21pm How old are you? How was your first day at school? Did you like your snack?

That's funny and it was 9:06pm and he didn't answer. He was probably in bed sleeping. School starts early!

NS. Yah ok saw some kids play 3 on 3 no big deal to talk about. keep your diapers on buddy and enjoy the show. by the way pacifers will be handed out at the end of each game...

Well Mr.AAA Super Scout you are back. Seem to follow the NS around quite a bit. Where did you see them play, Sat or Sun league? what colour were their sweaters? You are so full of $hit! What team are you with? Oh ya, you scout for your kids AAA team, I forgot.

FACT - NS will be better than all Mississauga teams with the possible exception of MB.

Sorry but that isn't the case. Wait and see where they stand in November.

I really don't understand what your talking about, when after all the TO teams will take it all.

OK 8:01 You know better than everyone else. Someone else has an opinion and you have yours.

Little Braves will not do as well as expected. They will be lucky to be a top 3 Mississauga team, let alone top 3 in the west.

AAA NS baby!

Saw the Braves at the Aces tourney, Friday night. They looked good but Leaside was not very good so it is hard to tell. Still only one goalie. 6-2 final.

Jets lost to the Knights. They looked very slow. 3-1 final.

Just one game so it is still hard to gauge.

Jets outcome was interesting as they have a handful of fast players.

Yes they have some fast players but as a team they looked slow. Only one game that I have seen so it may not be a good barometer.

Every team and player looks slo-w when playing the 98 AA NY Knights

See, that's what I like, good hearted jabs and some early season confidence. But as a neutral observer it wasn't the knights making the jets look slow, it was the jets.

ya right
