Any thoughts on players, coaches, standings...

Oshawa AA,will win it all...The Best coaches and players.

Auschwitz will not win.

Hillcrest rumoured to be folding.

The rumours so far....., Hillcrest may fold, Penguins are done like dinner (Stuie "H" has left the building, according to a report in the Toronto Star), Ted Reeve is forming some sort of unholy alliance with TCB.
Any other news, rumours or innuendo?

huh?

Nice work by HS management and coach to take a 3rd place team and create a situation where no one wants to be there.

Hard to believe there is truth to these rumours. Hillcrest is only looking for 3D. What gives? How many has actually signed?

1

Well I am sure we will find out for sure what the situation is by Monday. Hard to believe only 1.

Why will we know by Monday?

New coach dropped the ball on this one, he was given a 3rd place team and absolutely screwed it up, too bad.

Have the players rec'd their reg'd letters?

Yes they have received the letters but no one has signed. Waiting final word on team's status. Drop dead date I hear is the 15th? Then they scatter.

How many kids are holding out?

The more pertinent question is how many cards do they have signed and in?

OK.... and the answer to the more pertinent question is?

Heard only a handful of kids signed. All the better remaining players want out.

What a disaster. Kids who signed will scamble to find spots elsewhere once they pull the plug - which is the only thing left to do at this point.

There are lots of spots available out there. TCB could be good this year if all the Hillcrest players fill the roster.Some teams are full but we all know there are coaches who won't hesitate to cut a player if something better comes along.

Most AA coaches won't cut a kid once he signs, it is not appropriate to the level. AAA is a different story. The top teams are set except EE who is hoping for HS players, NT is full, Aces full, NYK full. GP coach cut kids last year, LF not sure, Willow needs kids, aeros always looking, SYB not sure, TCB is still bad did they not consolidate with TRT? TCB is expensive relative to other AA programs. LF is probably looking but they have a Eurotrip planned, Natasha? MI probably needs a kid or two.

wow its a mess in the east,why?

Why did previous coaching staff not get the team?

"Most AA coaches won't cut a kid once he signs" - unless you sign with Goulding

I am not sure if the coaching staff wanted to return

The coach stepped down and his kid went to AAA. It was handled well and the org had plenty of notice, the A coach was given the team and he did not communicate with AA familes and everyone bolted.

12% 2 Wants Out (Old Regime)
12% 2 Wants Out

10% 2 Quit Playing
5% 1 Went to AAA

Interesting, but how many cards do they have signed as of now?

10 0r so? wasn't he bringing 5 kids up and a few wanted to some so 10-12 is reasonable but you need 17 kids 16 min or 15 to be legal.

This is where it gets interesting:


From the 6 that remained with Org 3 signed.

+ 1 New Manger
+ 1 New Goalie

It is unclear to me who else has commited from the guys he was bringing up but for argument sake lets say all 5

Leaving the team with 10. If anyone else can add further insights .... great

Regarding this alleged TCB and TR "amalgamation," who is going to coach the team? And which organization gets the kids' fees? The whole thing seems kind of unlikely unless one org has already decided to fold their minor midget team.

Good point and if Hillcrest blows up more kids pop up, what a mess! If you are on a stable team count your blessings.

Can anyone comment on what happened with Toronto Royals? Heard many were being recruited to AAA, is this year a rebuild or was the AAA stuff just a rumour?

Just an uninformed rumour. Either that or some AAA clubs must be damned desperate for players.

Just an uninformed rumour. Either that or some AAA clubs must be damned desperate for players.

Usually a few kids move up from the better teams but in the end it is most often just a few.

I've heard from about 4 different sources that HS are folding. Too bad - they had a good team.

It's good for the holdouts who are trying to go to other teams. It's bad, very bad for the handful of kids who signed an HS card. We're sold a bill of goods by an arrogant coach who had few commitments from either returning or noew players.

Which teams have started practicing trying to get a headstart for next season?

EE have hung them up for the summer.

Aces playing baseball until late Aug...........

Aeros are skating ...

It's all about the Benjamins................

Aeros are flying not skating!!!!

Benjamins and Kool Aid, what a combo!

HS is only looking for three D
Why wouldn't they have a team
Whats wrong with the coach Heard is was a great coach

Aeros look very strong!!!!

Any update on HS? Folded yet?

TP?

To the Goulding Park poster - their coach cut kids with signed cards AFTER try-outs this year too. This guy is something else.

He is a FK Moron ...just like the Aeros coach

Aeros Coach is a pathetic fool. Screaming , swearing , who in there right minds be a part of this team,especially with the scandal of Hyman pocketing $$$$, to many hands in this organization to feed , Hyman, G.M.

Each and every one of them are the same a big clean up needs to be done I think the fraud sqad should be involved.

Anybody know whether HS folded?

Why would they fold They only need 3 D
Penquins have a team as well
The only team to fold was the TCB

Whats up with EE looking for players

How could TP have a team? They only had a handful of kids at tryouts and they don't have a posting on the GTHL Players Wanted list.

As for HS, the 3 D wanted assumes that the holdouts will come back. I've heard this won't happen.

HS holdouts will be sitting out until at least November. EE is looking for players since HS kids have not received their release. How long was leaside playing short last year?

Why do you speak that way he doesn't say anything bad about you. Do you have a problem with him or are you just a coward who hides behind your wife's skirt. If you don't want to identify yourself then go back to your hole where you came from.

You dont have any idea what you are talking about. Maybe one was cut. Big deal. The rest left on their own. Look out they have added 3 kids that are very good AA players.

Umm. I don not know what you people are saying, but my son plays for EE and we are not looking for players. We have picked up just as many as we needed at tryouts, and the HS kids have gotten their releases as we have picked up 3 HS boys, 1 DMF and one Richmond Hill Star AA.

Uuummm...Check the GTHL players wanted list.

EE looking for a F and D.

Maybe your kid is getting cut.

good idea to just enjoy your last season

You want the public out there to think that the kids who left went on their own and not by parents who had another agenda. Is that your position if it is, you are more of an idiot than I thought.

Where are the 93AA West people? I hear that West Mall has folded. Lots of coaching changes and player movement. Any news out there?

What,s up with Aeros ,still looking they have a F position open.

Any of the West teams fold?

Rumour has it the HS team is still alive (barely). With only 10-11 players, how can they hold out and make these players sit?

Where did Aces get their kids from? Rumour has it they are going to be good.

Aeros are very strong defencively,played 3 games this week let in in 28 goals!!!

Well then, the Aeros have improved significantly from last year.

Aces have the wanabe AAA from the DMF

I know the London Jr. Knights don't play in your league but you will see them in AA tournaments . The Jr. Knights are going with ONE Minor Midget AA team next season . That is a very strong age group for this Assoc. This team will kill every AA team they play .

Just to inform the great unwashed(read moron) we played AAA teams and there are good signs.

in unwashed do you mean not bathing regularly?

Whitby will win the OMHA's with 6 players coming down from AAA

Whitby won't get out of their division! Same as the last couple of years. Kingston will again be strong with amalgamation and Ajax has at least 5 kids from last years AAA.

Top 3 Lakeshore (The rest will battle)

Kingston
Ajax
Whitby

Kingston will not be as strong as last year. They will be losing at least 5 players from their AA team from last year going to AAA. Whitby is always a good team and will be right at the top. Ajax had 5 AAA players come down and the team is playing in a 3 0n 3 Midget league this summer. The 93 Ajax AA team is playing against Whitby's,Claringtons and Oshawas 91,92 AA teams and are dominating the league.
In the Lakeshore I would say Ajax,Whitby Kingston,Oshawa,clarington,Peterboroug and Pickering.

Pickering lost a few big scoring players to AAA

Time will tell

It refers to people like you idiots.

Stick a fork in TP. Officially folded.

Easier to make the playoffs!!!Yeah!!!!
