Most teams have 3 levels of players. Those top few that may be able to play up a level. Those in the middle who are average players who contibute at their level. And the bottom players who could either deveope into the middle by season end or who may drop down a level next year.
Teams like the sharks have all their players at the top level and that is why they are doing so well but, how many other teams can claim that?
That is the truth if you want to believe it and it pertains to most teams.

When season started coach was away for 1 month+ on holidays in Australia. The current 2 top forwards who scored most of their goals this year are moving up to AA, and the Islanders organization has mandated the coach drop 8-10 players from current roster (they send scouts out to their games and pick the players that need to be cut or change the coach if he doesn't go along with it). This will be a new team next year entirely.

Maybe Islanders should ask if the coach's are any good. They have not helped this team at all. Friend on this team and same old drills nothing new. If you ask me any coach that leave for 4+ weeks for holiday should not be asked back.

This team will be bottom feeder again. Coach is good guy but totally uncommitted. Defensive coach is useless, and kids hate him. Coaches can not get along with each other let alone motivate the kids. I would stay as far away from this team as possible - pretty well any other team is a better better bet for 2008-09

you are not kidding, kids and parents are goons! sore loosers and rude. When they took a beating again the Aeros, they were fuming, thinking they were all that. Looser parents yelling at their own coach from stands, yelling at their kids, yelling at parents from opposing team, yelling at the referees. Horrible and shameful to be part of that organization!

WOW, 3rd place, thats impressive. You guys should be proud of yourselves.
It must have been a hard fought battle and some tough times to get to 3rd place against select teams. With the exception of the Flames, this has to be
the worst division in hockey. Why don't you think the Flames are bragging about being in 1st.
Since you're so proud, tells us what the MI accomplished this year.
Scoring disabled. You must be logged in to score posts.
One of the biggest accomplishments was not to have any loosers like you in our organization. Sour grapes. You are the biggest looser, how is your team doing you asshole. Usually pigs like you have the suckiest kids but you think they are AAA material. Ya, your kid is the next Crosby. JERK. If you have nothing good to say shut your mouth and clean up the shit your kid has left behind
Scoring disabled. You must be logged in to score posts.
Since you coudn't answer the question as to what you've accomplished, I guess
the truth hurts. It must have been hard to swallow, other than the c0ck you uusally have in your mouth, to play A hockey in a division full of select teams.
This is what you've accomplished idiot, and by the way loser(notice the spelling), you've beat teams like the Kings, Penguins, Hawks, Thunder, Knights , all considered to be select teams. Unless you've beat someone better, that no one knows about,then you've accomplished nothing and if you have, share it with us. Take a moment and think, take that c0ck out of your mouth and tell us. Take your time, don't think too hard, I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself, I've got time, I'm still cleaning the crap my kid left behind.

You can't get cut from a team you haven't tried out for. Why would anyone try-out for this team, when you can play the same hockey in NYHL, only difference, its probably cheaper. Don't get offended by this, just face reality, your team would be hard pressed to beat a select team.
Ask the AA kids who dropped down, how different the hockey is in this division. Enjoy the rest of the season as it will be over soon, say by the end of February, and I'm being generous.

Bitter, defesive trash like you usually spells..LOSER who has a huge pain each time he hears the truth..your team sucks and has always been a mediocre team, however the players that left (pratically by begging for a release) took you to where you eneded up this year and you would have eneded up in 2nd or in solid 3rd if it wasnt for the cry babies like you, the stat guy, the their, the dirty manager & her husband, the cry baby's goalie who put the pressure on Fox to play their kids...he did and you barely held on to fourth..you could not beat the earos if your life depended on it because all your kids are wimps who could not play the physical game the earos played...your kids basically hid from any hit that came their way and would not know how to give a hit if their life was on the line...but according to you they know how to play hockey HAHAHAH! oh thanks for the stay in school tip...we intent to...as I hear it your kids could not get into BC too bad, so sad HAHAHAHA! your kids wont make it in hockey nor in school you are up a creek without a paddle! sorry

Grow up!...you are very defensive for someone who thinks highly on his team. If everyone is writing that the coaches are idiots, the parents are idiots, there must be some truth to that... I have heard these Markham parents whine about every call a ref ever makes, I have seen your kids hide when a hit was coming. The Aeros chewed them apart except for two or three kids, not sure if these are the kids that are gone (sounds like it)...Markham does have a bunch of wimps..accept it buddy that is reality.

this team got rid of the bad or good players and have picked up new players, so we'll see in the season, unless of course you have gone to a last place AA team, for if you did you wont be able to see the new mi team with better replacement players, oh and better parents
Scoring disabled. You must be logged in to score posts.
The new players are not the problem...its the old recycled loosers that cant make it in any other team..so their parents bully the coach and get their way otherwise your kids and the rest of the wimps would SOL! Good luck..those "NEW GREAT" players have no idea what a dissaster they are getting into..oh ya BTW..I believe you made AF pick up a few players from the last AA team..now you have a team full of AA rejects HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I'm not a parent on this team and have never been one either. What I will say is that my son tried out for this team and two others. The Islanders will be no match for the Aeros. Willowdale seems to be in trouble. My son is back to select. Good luck y'all!

I agree! Markham players should all do what this gentleman's son is doing PLAY Select, but you will have to take the lousy coaches because no other coach would pick up any wimp from this team.

the other half are playing from the last place team in AA the one you are making fun of buddy..im sure there will be a few new bench warmers that the AA teams dont want that you can have for the season after next! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

oh I see, the players from the year before, the ones you dirty slimes bashed all season saying that the kids were horrible the parents were trouble makers, is the old manager's son back, is she not the one you all said was so much trouble and her kid sucked! oh I see, the Aeros made them great players..too bad so sad they are going back to you to become lousy players and horrible parents again.

you picked up the "old" crappy players that you replaced last year but now need them back! after all the trash talk about them. The theif in particular who thinks his kid carried the entire team...so tired of hearing.."C" is so tired of doing all the work, he is so frustration. Get a life, your kid is a good skater I will give you that but that is all he has, he is a wimp and will hide from anybody bigger than him, he will get hurt and was always hurt if someone actually hit him. When the team was in trouble all the wimps ran to the bench and the strong tough guys were put on the ice.. now who do you have? RG's son HAHAHA, LS's son? HAHAHAHAHA, MV's son hahahaha, the only strong kid if you still have him would be RB even, he only played on this team because he had no team to play on, when he had the opportunity to play for another team he was gone!

Not only are you burning your bridges, but you are a man who cannot forget about the past. Just because you got cut, and wont forget about it, well guess what its life, dont like it, well to bad, live with it. Im sure after losing 1 out of 34 games before you came to the islanders was fun. but now your back to losing, have fun, dont slip on the ice

too bad they did not implete the pay up front gate fee...what would the chinese theif have done? no more sneaking into the Markham arena each and every single game, sitting up top with the look of "i just ate a mouse" even better, he finds ways to sneak into all other rinks...i guess we should give him that he tries..he tries to sneak in, he tries to sneak hiw wife/daughter and sometimes his "superstar A son" let's see how much you owe the GTHL...your son has been with MI since your son started playing soccer at 7yrs..one game a week X $5 for 7 years...thats lot of $$$ WOW!!this does not include all the tournaments, playoffs etc.etc. big bucks here

don't want to argue with anyone, but this guy saying MI are bad is a total dick. if he got cut, left or, whatever reason, he isnt letting this go. For god sakes its single A. Nobody cares.

a bunch of loosers who cant accept that their kids cannot make any other team. Control freaks who think they run the show because they crappy kids have been playing there since they started. wimpy coaches who are afraid to face the parents so do as they say...retard parents who are bitter that their best players have left but continue to tell lies about "cuts"...the only losers that play here year after year are the loosers that cant cut any other team's roster. SIMPLE...stop accusing other parents of bitter because they got cut. NOBODY got cut, yes one child was asked to come to tryouts without any promises but the coach did not have the balls to say "you are cut" the others that left left because they could not deal with all the politics this team has, all the trash talking about each other, each one of these parents think their kids is better than their best friend but have no balls to say to their face. Only beer leagers play here...I realize that no kid is going to the NHL however some kids to have insparantes, hopes and dreams of becoming a better hockey player but staying at the same shitty level. No NHLers here but desire to develop their skills and play for a team that is peaceful.

Hey people! season is ready to start..Markham Islander's great goalies, one NHL's for sure (greek father thinks his father is) yet when he played AA he warmed up that bench pretty good! The other goalie hmmm...out to lunch half the time but he will also be there to save the day! The trainer's kid, one strong, tough guy who can play D or F will be there to hold the line HAHAHAHA! Oh ya the greasy manager's kid, maybe some grease from his hair will drip on ice and other players wont be able to skate. HAHAHAHA. The stats man also has a strong, tough, relentless son who is not afraid to challenge the puck when he is not hiding in the corner if he sees a player from the other team coming at him. HAHAHAHA! the only really honesty good player on the team is DB's kid, he is a worker and even though he is small he can play, all other clowns on this team are just as useless as their trashy, dreamer parents. oh ya...when the going got tough all the wimps use to jump in the bench and the two idiots RG and AF would send the real players out! what a joke, I hope you have some strong new guys or else all your wimps will be on the ice most of the time. Oh ya, i read here that you have amazing new players who will pull the weight for all your dead wood.!! good luck, cant wait to watch your first game. oh ya, pay the $5 bucks!

Great coaching has gotten them into the position to slide into 6th place. Who knows, if he had a few more games, he just might coach them right out of the playoffs. Afterall, they come up big in nonplayoff tournaments like the Founders.
Time to go back to reffing fulltime, even your ref buddies can't help you win games.
What a joke.
