I don't get this team. AC has a son on team he clearly wants to showcase to the detriment of the team. Kid is talented but needs work on his game play. Coach has a son on team who is probably not AAA calibre. One line gets most of the play, while the rest of the team sits on the bench. What do most of you parents get by having your kid on this team --enjoyment of seeing "AAA" on their jackets?

Some of us thought it was going to change this year.

THERE IS AN OLD SAYING WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND.

BRAMPTON WILL LOSE QUITE A FEW PLAYERS BY THE TIME THEY GET TO PEEWEE.
HOW MANY CAPTAINS & ASSISTANT CAPTAINS CAN YOU HAVE ON A TEAM? IS THIS THE WAY YOU GET THE PARENTS TO STAY IN BRAMPTON? OFFER A LETTER, TONS OF ICE AND MAKE A SELECT FEW LOOK GOOD.

That's been my concern with this team all along. Why do the coaches not feel an obligation to develop all of their players? They are crushing the love of hockey for several players.

Let the witch hunt begin.

Team plays to win and has for years. Period. If you don't like it then LEAVE. Most likely just a pot stirrer as nothing has changed in years here.

you're kid's interests must be looked after. it becomes a vicious circle for the kids on the team. they don't get ice time, so they don't develop. they don't play as well as the kids with all the ice time, so they continue to sit. if you think this is ok, you're screwed up.

thanks pot stirrer you are good at what you do
who are you looking to recruit from this team for next year?
state your real motives as we know who you are

thanks for the compliment. but the facts are this. if your kid is in this age group & wants to play AAA in Brampton, he's been stuck with this coaching staff since tyke. sad for most of them.

AAA - A$$holes All Around you

If there is a mass exodus from AAA, are they going to other AAA teams? or, should parents on AA be worried their kids are going to be bumped?

Just looked at SCTA standings. First place with respectable stats --what's the problem here?

SM gives me nightmares. What a joke that guy is? He and his fab 5 budds are all AAA like previous poster. All around a$$holes.

Hey, I'm the previous poster and don't have a clue what you're talking about. I'm not SM, not a fab5 and not AAA. Not sure what your point is. If you want to enlighten me, then go ahead.

Been there, left there and won't be back

Which AC are you referring to on first posting.

FYI - Brampton will only lose 2 or 3 players at most for next year. I agree with earlier post, the negative comments are to stir the pot because either other teams want Brampton's players or they want to join Brampton.

Bottom line First place with a 17-3 record...

you're kidding right. anyone familiar with the team, doesn't need to ask which AC is being referred to.
where were you in the standings this time last year? same, right? don't see any championship trophies on your shelf.

Brampton has beaten Halton, Hamilton, Oakville and COW this year.

Who else would beat us in a best of 3 series in the OMHA?

St. Kitts?

Touche, 1031.

you've also lost to Hamilton, Oakville, COW and *ahem*, St.Kitts this year

HERE IT IS HOCKEY PEOPLE
IF THE COACH HAS A KID ON THE TEAM LEAVE RIGHT AWAY OR SHUT UP
HE WILL PLAY HIS KID AND HIS FRIENDS MORE
THEY WILL GET ALL THE BREAKS
YOU WILL NOT
THIS HAS BEEN THE WAY SINCE 1805 B.C.

No AC on Brampton.

If you read the top of the thread you idiot you will see that AC stands for Ass't Coach.

Hey 8:51.
17-3 and in first place.That loop is a joke.All the teams suck.Didn't JRC hammer you and didn't you lose to the 11th place DMF this year.OMHA sucks.The teams are brutal.

I agree this team isn't an elite team. Their standing in the SCTA reflects the fact there are 2-3 good teams in their loop and 5 weak teams. If you've seen them in tournaments with some truly elite teams, you will see the difference. While this team can win smaller regional tournaments, they have never won a major one.

definitely not an elite team

451: Thanks for the honest answer. Are there parents on the team who have already decided to skip tryouts next year and move on? I did this a few years ago with my son & haven't looked back. He was getting to the age where he could see the favouritism and it was bothering him.

The problem sometimes is that the kid is happy winning, but the parents will not tolerate the favoritism. It is difficult to pull the kid out in this case. Another issue is that its not good for all conerned if you go to a new team every year.

He knew he wasn't contributing even if the team was winning. Now has a coach who rolls his lines, lets everyone play special teams. And surprise, he's still on a winning team & much happier.

Have the Rangers been good to you? We are all happy for you and your son.

Not the Rangers. And sarcasm doesn't become you.

Which Rangers ?????

Is this a four team league??????Sure looks that way with the scores.

Yes,four very average teams.

Below average.

,

Hey last poster -- Did you nod off reading these posts and your head hit the comma key, or what?

TRY HALTON

try what?

is that oakville approaching in the rear view mirror?

yup. c'mon brampton parents. we know there is a whole bunch of you lurking on these boards. we also know you are not a happy bunch. why so quiet?

Too scared.If we get found out now that we are unhappy then our kids go from 10 minutes of ice to 5 minutes a game.

I doubt that any of the negative posts regarding coaches, players or ice time are coming from a parent on this years team.

get rid of this thread brutal team no need to discuss it bad coaching favs played brutal decision if you go there

Oh ya it is coming from this years parents.WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exactly right an so has rest of league

Agree.

Brampton 9 Hamilton 3

Don't believe it- this is crap

WOW - it's true...just checked the standing and results....
Did the Bulldogs show up at the wrong arena?
Not like them to get smoked like that (especially against Brampton....they ain't THAT good!).

I'm sure the rematch will look much, much different!

These kids play very dirty.

6) No racist comments

Check the schedule that was the rematch! Season series 3-1 for Brampton!



6) No racist comments

Keep your racist thoughts to yourselves.

Brampton dirty - you gotta be kidding. If Brampton ever decided to play with some grit they would be unbeatable. They are one of the least penalized teams. In fact one of the Hamilton kids got kicked out for kicking a Brampton player while he was on the ice.

True..................

I'll correct you on that..as I was standing In clear view of this Incident.
The play was whistled down, the referee who blew it dead is about 260lbs, he was outside the blueline coming in.
The player from Hamilton in trying to get out of the crease area, moved his leg back and forth as he was tangled up with a Brampton Player.
From afar the ref saw a Kicking Motion....when in fact it was not.
Oh well...kid got 2 games when really he should have just been told to be more careful.

I have nothing to do with either Team...So my comments are unbiased.


Now on the Other hand....didn't Pool's kid get suspended for Kicking a Hamilton Kid last year? 3 games Right?

Yes Brampton Kicked our Ass.

That's ok though.... #10. For Brampton Plays every other Shift while his Teammates watch.

Hamilton Bulldogs will be better once they're idiot Coach Is gone Next Year.
Although at least he rolls his lines 90% of the Time Unlike the AAA Battalion.


TEAM = Play # 10. as Much as we can as long as " he" ... i mean " We" Win.


What a Joke!

Response to 12:57
There is truth in this one. I agree!!!

There is truth in this one. I agree!!!

The guy's not a pot stirrer...we play you guys and the Ice time #10 gets is ridiculous for a 10 year old.

People .... go to the rink and see for yourself and find out how bad of liars the Coaches are!

.

4 the record kids have 55 mins of ice twice a week to develop skills they will use in 10 mins of game time if they want more game time mins then my suggestion is work harder in practice thats where the developing is not in game time so 4 all the selfish parents that have stop watches in their pocket on all hockey teams they should consider just letting the kids develop stop feeding them controversy let them play as a team have fun and as parents if ur not happy cause ur boy or girl misd a shift or two or three SUCK IT UP!!!!!!! KIDS FEED OFF THEIR PARENTS REMEMBER THAT IF UR KID IS NOT HAVING FUN AND OR NOT DEVELOPING THEN MOVE TO ANOTHER TEAM BUT LOOK AT THIS WEB SITE THEIR IS A THOUSAND THREADS EVERY WEEK BOUT HUNDREDS OF TEAMS AND COACHES AND MOST OF THE TIME ITS THE SAME COMPLAINT MAYBE PARENTS NEED TO REMEMBER ITS JUST A GAME

wow. what was that rant all about? no one mentioned ice time problems on this team.

Appears that somebody just did

this team has huge issues

Such as?

You need to ask? the issues have been posted on here for how many seasons, and they never seem to change.

So that goes back to the original question --why do most parents keep bringing their kids back to this team? You're spending a lot of money to watch your kid sit on the bench.

Not a lot of money to play in Brampton. A third of what G pays.

A third.Ya right.I've played both a third.Don't think so.

Who won on Sat? I heard it was 1-1 tie, anyone know?

You heard right!

no

any tournaments coming up for this team?

Just the rooms they have booked already for the OMHAs, ha ha ha ha ha

They won't be going through the back door, this year.

The team may be starting their annual late December slide. The overplayed kids are getting tired and the underplayed kids are getting bored. No suprise here, seen it before.

8:32
You are only partially correct. No slide happening, but yes top players are being over-worked. Seems like team plays better when the lines are rolled. Not sure if coaching staff fully realizes this fact. Either way this team needs to start beating strong teams outside of their loop.
