Good luck to the Toronto Bull Dogs and Pro Hockey teams representing Ontario at this years Brick Invitational tournament. Should be a great tournament this year, lots of talented kids on their way.

a few on there way alot staying home

Talent level is 4 good teams, 4 average teams and 4 that would get out of the round robin at the McDonalds. Its no different than any other touranmet

Last years standings, what a waste of time and money

Division 1
Minnesota Blades 9
Saskatchewan Hustlin Huskies 7
Toronto Pro Hockey 6
Connecticut Yankees 6
Detroit Red Wings 3
Team Ohio 1

Division 2
Vancouver Vipers 13
Montreal Ice Storm 7
Team Brick Alberta 7
Winnipeg Junior Jets 4
Toronto Bulldogs 2
Los Angeles Hockey 1

I am amazed someone in Ontario who apparenly isn't even going to the tournament has been able to scout all of the teams.

How is it a waste of time and money? It is simply a hockey-themed family vacation.

If it was about the hockey, nobody would be foolish enough spend $1000 for every game their kid plays in.

Just let them have their fun, and stop judging.

Yes it always kills me how people on here say that everything is a "waste of time and money". I read everything from AAA hockey is a waste, spring hockey is a waste and now the Brick tournament is a waste. If your kid can't make it, you are not able to commit or you simply don't feel your family can afford it, why would you make yourself sound like a complete loser on N54 by cutting up others who are going? Its not big deal, not everyone can go for many reasons. Some people can. Let them go and wish them luck. I'm sure they will have a blast and play some good hockey too. By the way, my son is not going to the tournament.

I had the oppurtunity to play, and now I regret not letting my son go. I have seen the players get better with the expierence they have had this spring.

You get the same experience playing here for alot less money. Its a huge cash grab.

I agree. Go if you want but don't try to persuade us that going to Edmonton is any better a hockey experience than playing spring hockey at home in Toronto. For goodness sakes, it's EDMONTON!

Never the best kids, just rich parents that can afford to go. With all the money the Bulldogs make over the years. They should pay for the kids to go to Edmonton.

Good luck in Edmonton, I can't wait until next year when we go with the Bulldogs.

Looking forward to the same crappy coaching staff too.

But think of the confidence boost your kid gets if you can buy him this exclusive experience!

Why do I get the feeling that this tournament would suddenly be the most amazing ever if Regional Gold were going?

I wouldn't spend the money if they were going either. Regardless of the name on the front it would still be a huge cash grab and waste of time.

12:09 must be very familiar with the collective mindset of JL and friends. There were only 4 worth while tournaments every year and they are the finest anywhere because of RG has chosen to attend.

time its done, $10 Gino's for the Brick Team

RG is going

Now it must be an elite level tournaments if RG is going.

RG ends their season in June at the RM. No they are not going to Edmonton.

Funny how someone tries to turn this to a RG thing and it isn't someone from RG. To the players that decided to fork out the cash and spend there summer vaca in Edmonton have fun. RG Parent

To each their own. If parents want to have a family vacation in Edmonton along with some good hockey, so be it. If parents decide not to do that so be it. But, it is probably a jealous parent on here that keeps saying its a cash grab for rich parents. So, take your kids to Wonderland, camping or wherever it is that you take them. Leave the Brick families out of it, as I'm sure they couldn't care about your perspective. Again, my kid is a 98' and not going to the Brick Tourney.

sure

Wonderland is a cash grab. Everything is a cash grab. Guess what? Nobody wants to entertain you for free.

I bet if 2:34 got the free ride offer from Pro hockey that they all thought was coming there way he would be singing a different tune. As was proven previously, RG had nothing left to add, so there were no free ride handouts this year. You were told that it was going to be this way back in December when you made your choice. Now, live with it.

If a kid is good enough, somebody will pay his way. If not, well.....

If not well.........you can still play regional.

heard the sharks are going as they wanted a top team ??

3-12 fyi he was offered a free ride by more than one team but still declined their kind offers

get over your jealousy of a child

wow, a free ride, poor kid's parents must not be very bright then

<points finger and laughs at jealous so called adult>>>>>>>>>

childish and insecure

says the adult who is envious of a young kid

I was talking about both of you, loser.

so you think someone who stands up for a kid against a jealous adult is a loser, should keep your big fat nose out eh loser

Aren't we sensitive? This is a public forum. I have as much right to be on it as you two losers.

There was more than one kid on RG that was asked to play for PH Brick. They chose RG not as their second choice but as their first choice.

PH Brick asked the whole RG team to jump on board for the free ride. We all chose not to go.

Lets cut to the choice, which team is the favorite? Any of the american teams decent? Who's got the scoop?

RL was not offered a free ride with anyone. Best of luck to both Ontario teams in Edmonton.

RG parents always looking for free rides. Classless

You need to get over the fact that your little guy has never been asked, lots havnt and they get on with their lives, you should too.

I wonder if the Bulldogs will get more than the 2 points they got last year. What a HUGE waste of money for 5 games of hockey. Cost about $1000/game. Fools.

You gold parents need to get over the fact that there are no free rides for you this year. I am sure it won't stop some of you nutbars from claiming ownership to every goal one of the ex-gold players score or assist on. I will say it now for you. Pro Brick couldn't have done it without you. Thanks for the contribution.

No free rides huh??? Don't speak when you have no idea. Enjoy your rentals for the spring.

12.20 what a load of garbage you spout


Good luck to the Pro Hockey and Bulldog guys, especially our friends

None of the rentals will be back with you next year. They are coming home. Hope you learned something from them while you had them.

Only one would be a lock to make the team and he will not be back.

Latest score update;

Winnipeg Jr. Jets 7 ---- Connecticut Yankees 5

Detroit 4 Minn 4

No sign of St Louis 3 on Detroit roster

Pro hockey 9 Montreal 0 ouch!!!!!!!

Toronto Pro Hockey 9 Montreal 0 Great competition, what a waste of money. LMAO They must not have converted the touchdown.

Nobody from St Louis went. They were smart enough to keep their money in their pockets. Sub par competition.

Ask the CY goalie Dad and I am sure he will come up with an excuse for his kid giving up 7 ----that's gotta hurt. I am sure the Dad berated the poor kid into tears before it was over!

Why so angry about the tournament?

Where does the CY goalie come from?

Toronto Pro Hockey 9 Montreal 0 Wow and PH couldn't get out of the semis in the McDonalds and tied RG. Should have kept your money in your pocket and gone on a real holiday.

Be nice montreal had three shots on goal and the supperstar had one point his dad must be hidding.

Bulldogs beat Ohio by a goal and they are terrbile. What a brutal tournament.

6:37 be nice imagine that poor goalie dad from Pro Hockey. His kid will play 3 games which means it is costing him $2000 per game so those 3 shots cost him $700 or $230 per shot. LMAO

Maybe you should take a holiday. Take off eh? Who are you to decide what people should do with their spare time and money. You sound jealous that you aren't there.

Oh my God the shots were 35-3 for Pro Hockey, I thought you were kidding. That is ridiculous so much for this being a high end tournament. That is terrible.

did you check out the stars of the games? I guess in Edmonton you get a star for sitting in the penalty box instead of putting up points????LMFAO

What happened to Detroit, I thought they were the team to beat?? Team Alberta completely dominated them.

Only tells you that all the experts can't see beyond their noses. There is a big world of hockey talent out there.

What it tells you is that DRW were all imports.

Actualy what I think is that this tournament is not what it use to be.

The top US teams no longer go.

Boston, St. Louis, No teams from Jersey or Long Island. Where is the Chicago entry.

Who is to say this even the best Detroit could put together.

I agreee it is one of the best. But no better than Vegas or Boston or Ronald McDonald.

Las Vegas is more fun than Edmonton.

DRW - surprised at their first result as well, checked the game stats, no LB or CK from STL???? PH are better than the TBD but the MIS are not a strong Brick team. Parents - could have saved a lot of money and played these Brick teams and better competiton at the Ron Mac or OTTF. Ya I know, insert the family vacation comment here, but seriously if I was taking my family on a summer vacation the West Edmonton Mall is probably not my first choice and this tournament appears sub-par to other events in terms of competition.

...DRW - surprised at their first result as well, checked the game stats, no LB or CK from STL????...

You obviously don't understand the roster rules for the BRICK tournament.

Conn. has 4 imports from Western NY. why could the 3 St Louis kids not play for Detroit like they did @ RM?

Detroit does not have the 3 stl players and that makes a huge difference if you have seen them play as a team such as the Ronald Mac.
Not sure why they are not there but it makes a big difference for sure.

So at the end of the day this is a sub par tournament with only a few top teams and a HUGE cost to go. Not worth it at all.

Pro Hockey vs Edmonton final. The competition is horrible.

Many of you guys really seem to have a real issue with this tournamaent. Why does this tournament bother you guys so much? Why do you care so much?

Take a deep breath...and let it go...get over it.

This is one of the top tournaments. The competition isn't horrible. There are other top tournaments too. So what...let it go.

Nothing wrong with the tournament. It's the hype that bothers people.
