Best 1997 A team in Ontario is?

Valley East, Oakville, PP, Warterloo, they ONLY thing you need to know is that these teams may CALL themselves "A" teams but are infact AA and AAA calibre teams mascarading as A teams to win games against some TRUE A teams.

where is Valley East?....Port Perry is A town !

Valley East is from the Sudbury area.

They just won the Silver Stick A championships last weekend over Oakville in the finals.

Does Valley East have "AAA" and "AA" ?

Port Perry

Port Perry is NOT "A" anymore than Perry Como is with a glass of Port.

They are "BB".

Its like Sugar Ray saying he's better than Muhammed Ali.

Can't compare!

hey 5:22 Do think these A teams decided to be an A team to spank other teams?? the center and team doesn't choose! Population, drawing power and reg numbers decide...with your knowledge you must be from the GTHL!! Whats so wrong that some of these teams have talent

Port Perry is "A" for playoffs. they put in a request and got it. They are among the best

braves

there's only one A in braves!

nice one

Cooksville is right near the top.....if not on top.

thanks Co parent! You suck! I saw them play in Fort Erie

How'd you do PP????

its A who cares =)

original

Stratford Warriors A

Valley East does not have AA or AAA. They have a population base of about 20,000 people. There is no AAA hockey in Northern Ontario until minor peewee. The Valley players must go to Sudbury to play AAA in minor peewee.

Braves

Best answer yet!!!!!

Braves are HL

Right....Sorry.

what is cutoff for A classified town?

Has to be Calabria Rockets "A" from the ODMHA

Port Perry won the Fort Erie Tournament

teams change rapidly

agree

Vallet East, PP and Oakville

not in that order

PP, valley east, oakville

The best A team will be the one that wins the OHF's. Pretty simple isnt it?

The best A team right now is the one that won the SS. Pretty simple isnt it?

Why not???

St.Thomas Stars Atom A. Play in AA loop with London teams and finished 3rd. They are an A center.

Top A teams are simple. Valley East, Oakville, Ottawa Valley. These teams have played the games and proved themselves. Valley East won Ottawa tourney, SS qualifier and SS finals. Oakville won Chatham AA tourney, SS qualifier and went to finals in SS finals went undefeated the entire regular season with only 1 tie. Ottawa won SS qualifier and got to semis in SS finals. PP won a weak Fort Erie tourney and beat a bunch of houseleague teams. Why dont you guys give it up untill you play and beat one of those three teams. as of now you are a good (lol) BB team. NOW GO AWAY

I am the coach of PP, Valley east is the #1 ranked team going into playoffs with no questions asked. They beat PP at the BCC and Oakville at the SS. Both Oakville and PP beat other contenders along the way. The true test will be iced at the OHF's. The teams abilities to take on hard fought playoff series (4 0r 5 of them) to see what teams are made of. Both BCC and SS are non-contact tournaments in which the out come with contact would be totally different. This debate regarding the top ranked teams should be made on the ice not here on 54. The trouble with this network is that so many opinions come in from people that talk crap, and never seen some teams play.
I trust it is not my parents on our team stirring up crap, however if it is I apologies.
We hope our team can continue the success we have been experiencing, however realize the real tests will be in series to come. In a perfect world the rematch between VE and PP would be great to see at the OHF's.
We hope we can battle our way through to see you guys in April.

BB stay off this site!!

No coach in his right mind would come on here and spew that garbage.

" Both Oakville and PP beat other contenders along the way"


What contenders has PP beat?

ottawa silver seven Black and white

Toronto Eagles and Humberview Huskies AA

Matthew Cogliano - (416) 838-5731 new coach aa

coach of what?

single A is like house league who cares

wow then the braves lost to a hl team

and the tigers, royals, huskies, chatham and the list can go on and on.

Mississauga Reps!!!

CO had bit of a slump at time of the FE tourney, missing some players too. Since the tournament we haven’t lost the game including AP, ER, MO. I think we are truly on top of the game.

This is true...we would probably run this tourny now with no problems.Up for a game PP?

Single A is a Glorified House League !!!

you idiots

Idiots think A hockey is glorified house league.

Ottawa Valley teams are Regional teams. They run two 'A' teams drawn from about seven centres.

nice

8:35....excusses excusses!! missing a few players? I counted 14 skaters! you are not that good at all

PP, We will kick your ass in March

To 9:13 you are a moron. The A teams in OMHA are decided by registration numbers not talent. Most are small towns with a few or many AAA quality players in this age group. Most don't offer AAA before minor pee wee. GTHL idiot.

1. Valley East
2. Oakville
End of story

9:23 - most A teams have a few AAA players?????? Most AAA teams themselves only have a few true AAA quality players. Put the koolaid down. Its affecting your thinking!!!!

www.atomrebels.com - a picture says a 1000 words.

9:57!! Koolaid?? Good one! your very witty

10:49,
In the Bell Cup photo the VE kids don't look as happy as you would expect. Its as if they are thinking: "We didn't really deserve this. If Port Perry's best player had played, we would have gotten smoked."

10:49 - hard to argue with that! Wholy crap...6 tourney wins! Many kids would be lucky to win 6 tourneys in their entire minor hockey career!

You would be tired of smiling too after you had that many CHAMPIONSHIP pictures taken of you.

they just entered in weak tournys! And 6 of them thats a little much!Looks good on here though! they were small weak tournys

Oakville didn't you get spanked in the finals at Silver Stick. Ouch. You are second tier and probably the third or fourth best team at Silver Stick this year. Lucky draw and timely goaltending.

Bell Captial Cup, Silver Stick...yea real small tournys.

the other 4 were weak

You GTHL & OMHA people refuse to believe that hockey exists anywhere north of Barrie. In fact, there is some very good hockey teams in the NOHA district. The VE Rebels happens to be one of them. You attribute our success to weak tournaments. The BCC & International Silver Stick is far from being weak. As far as the rest of the tourneys go, sure they may be a little weaker but I don't see any GTHL or OMHA teams make the trek up north to come and play us. Our tournament was held last weekend and is open to any A, AA teams. No teams from the GTHL or OMHA. This is not our fault. North Toronto AA did come up last year to participate in our tournament. VE beat them in a close semi and we very much enjoyed the competition. We don't get better by beating up on weak opponents. We want and look forward to the competition.

VE is participating in the AA North Bay tourney in a week and a half. Just got the schedule and don't see any southern teams. Valley East, Sudbury, North Bay, Soo (SIS) & Soo (AJ), Timmins, Temiskaming Shores & Nickel Centre.

All of these teams are highly ranked by the myhockeyrankings 97 AA

Valley East A #7
Soo Reps (SIS) AA #14
Temiskaming Shores A #18
Sudbury Bulldogs AA #19
Soo Reps (AJ) AA #23
North Bay (West Feeris) AA #31
Timmins Ice Dogs AA #35
Nickel Centre Flyers A #73

Where are all of the Southern Teams to make this a stronger tourney???

what team is going to Butt fuk Idahoe for a tournament during playoffs??

155,
Please ignore 158. VE has had a great season. Congratulations to the boys. The North Bay tourney is always a good one. Is the schedule posted online anywhere?

It's amazing to see VE on here now they beat PP by the whopping score of 1-0!! Before this spanking they were unheard of on N54!! They had 5 shots on PP...thats not really bragging rights! Love to see them play PP again

PP is a very good team. We'd love to play them again (provided we both qualify) at the OHF's. It's true that VE did only register 5 shots on goal in that game but we also hit a goal post & a cross bar. Those shots do not get registered. They managed 14 shots- 10 in the first period- and most of them were all from the outside. I would say that VE had the better scoring opportunities. Good Luck PP in your quest for the OMHA title. Hopefully we will meet again.

better scoring opprotunities with 5 shots? never heard of that one. PP had all the play, VE had to play pure defence...trying to shut down PP top line. VE were forced to play in defence desperation. Kudos to them for shutting PP down....but i don't think in a series they would be able to shut down their top line, with their top gun

Yes our top gun didn't even get going that game. Wait'll you see him when he's on his "A" game.

Do you call your "top gun" Maverick or Iceman?

we call ours Goose! what does VE call theirs?

PP dads are starting to creep me out with this "top gun" obsession and the constant rehashing of shots on goal stats.
