Chesterfield 2009-2010 Bantam Major Tryout Results:
The following Bantam Major players are invited to return to the final tryout to be held Monday 6/29 at 6:40pm:

11, 12, 14, 19, 23, 28, 29, 36, 37, 39, 41, 45, 47, 48, 49, 53, 55, 57, 59, 64, 67, 68, 72, 73, 75, 78, 79, 90, 94, 96, 98

Were there any cuts?

Should cancel season on account of lack of interest

Three were cut.

7:13 - YOU are interested enough to be on here!!

Added a couple of big players and some of the better AAA kids. Looks to be a faster and more physical team. GO CHESTERFIELD!!!

So I guess all of roller hockey kids made the team? Not very fair that they only came to 1 or 2 tryouts.

Heard that one from last year was asked to come to last tryout and wanted no part of it.

Shame on CHA to be begging kids when other kids have given time and effort to tryout. Why even show up if your a kid?

There are at least 3 players that were guaranteed spots that opted to play a ROLLER HOCKEY TOURNAMENT instead of coming to the last 2 tryouts. I just don't think it is fair to the kids that came to all 4 tryouts with no chance of making the team due to guaranteed spots.

Tell those kids to get better and maybe they will not have to come next year.

Life is not fair

Shit, with all the things that Brandes did to try and get kids out there is it really a surprise that he told kids not to worry about try-outs. Bet some of the kids fees are paid for as well. Where is the list of players who made the team?

Don't forget the kid who got his spot when daddy was asked to be the asst. coach, that is another kid that may have been at try-outs, but didn't need to be.

Sounds like Chesterfield CS is as corrupt as the AAA club.

Usually you only need to go to 2 or 3 tryouts, not everyone can make all 4. Great to thoses who can.
I have seen this at every level.

All of you Affton people sure worry your ass off about Chesterfield!

All of you Affton people sure worry your ass off about Chesterfield!

I said it twice just in case you can't read.

Oh please, do not flatter yourself....

If it wasn't you (from Affton), then how did you know to answer like that? Either it WAS you, or you didn't know it WAS or was NOT Affton people! Sorry, did I lose you?

Every Year they say chesterfield has a new and approved team and Affton still beats them almost every time. So we shouldn't really watch out for chesterfield

11:47 That post could be from anybody from any club other than CHA. It was meant to point out the arrogance of thinking ANYBODY from ANY CLUB cares about what your CHA team is doing.

2009-2010 Bantam Major Tryout Results:
Thanks to all who attended the CHA Bantam Major Central States tryouts. We are pleased to announce the following players as members of the 2009-2010 Bantam Major Central States team:

14, 19, 37, 41, 45, 47, 48, 49, 53, 55, 57, 59, 67, 75, 79, 90, 96

Coach Brandes, you may want to consider taking one alternate. Big goon #37 quit on his team last year, may do it again this year. Just a heads up for you.

this is funny stuff

2:51 - If you can assume that the original post could be from a member of any club, than I have the equal right to assume that the original post was from someone from Affton. And by the way, in this sort of incident, history supports my assumption. However, let's say that you KNOW that the author was not someone from Affton, because the post was from YOU, a non-Affton person. In that case, then my original statement was true--that either you ARE from Affton, or you are assuming that EVERYONE else at ALL the other clubs do not care about the Chesterfield CSDHL Bantam Majors. Also, have a nice day. It was nice talking to you.

Names to Numbers???

3:40

You sound a bit paranoid about something. Are you under the delusion that the Affton people out to get you?

Won't give you the names but I will tell you that the team of kids who didn't make it beat the crap out of the kids who did last night 8-2. I certainly hope the 3 or 4 roller hockey kids make a big difference or CHA is in for another long season. You would think they would eventually get it right. Congrats. Affton on another trip to regionals, made possible by CHA.

Guess your player was cut. Sour grapes will not get you much but bitter a w(h)ine.

Yeah sour grapes, blah, blah, blah. Doesn't change the score of the scrimmage that was set up to have the kids who were on the team against the rest. They scored the fewest goals and gave up the most last season and they don't appear to have changed much.

Wait a minute, CHA is the best club in town with the best coaching. Just ask them. Anoterh example of BS spewed from the valley. There CS program is a joke.

Check your typing before you start ranting.

BTW, who keeps track of score in scrimmage games? Just pathetic...

You didnt have to keep score, it was painfully apparent who out played who.

who are the goalies?

Steinmeyer and Bopp

Team not nearly as strong as years past. Lost some good players to
AAA. Could be a long season for them.

The Bantam Minors from last year (this years majors) only lost two kids to AAA. They were replaced with better quality players from what I see.

The team lost 2 players to AAA but also lost more than half the penalty minutes. It's got to be a much improved team. Defense is bigger and stronger with offense adding some key TEAM players.

plus one goalie and cc would have been a major

Affton cut both goalies from last years team.

Why was CHA CS calling kids back who had been cut for final tryouts?

I don't know!!! Quick, call out the FBI and Scotland Yard! Surely this is a BIG deal!

There are some very good players that did not make the Affton CS team. If CHA was smart they would contact them. As with any club there are always questionable picks. If CHA plays the cards right they will be better than Affton this season.

So which kids will get their walking papers from Chesterfield to bring the cut Affton kids on board? I really don't think the Chesterfield coach is quite that crazy to pull such a move.

The cut Affton players should have tried out for BOTH Bantam teams. A handful of players did that. It is a shame that some better-abilitied players will be left off of both rosters because of the try-out schedule.

wow, Kirkwood goalie makes Affton CS. more interesting than that; the son of the Kirkwood prez makes the team as well. also a pair from last year's AAA

One thing I know: that St. Louis Stars Bantam AA team will...um... not be good.

Thanks for info. Mom

Yeah...If a pig had wings

Stick with reality

good thing kirkwood merged. it couldnt even keep the prez kid at kirkwood

Dosen't matter who the second goalie is they won't play much anyway with CS on the team and it being a major year.

The one that I think is funny is the hardship transfer case from last season. He had the Affton boys pull off a hardship transfer because it was to far to drive from Illinois to Chesterfield and now he is playing Chesterfield Central States. Way to go EMMIT! You have to admire how he pulled the wool ove Mo Hockey's eyes on that one.

What is a big deal is when kids who try out from the start and give their best efforts are cut instead for kids who did not want to play but were called by CHA to show up at tryouts later in the process.

Add that to the kids were placed on team and it seems like tryouts really aren't TRUE tryouts.

Why are evaluators at CHA CS Bantam Major talking to parents on the side about a kids chances of making the team.

Hmmm..Won't name names, but I know that people know who they are. It is sad, but true.

Don't be an idiot if you are an evaluator. What goes on in the room, stays in the room. Or do politics and who you know still play an important role at CHA?

That is why Chesterfield will always be second rate. Several of their AAA picks were good ole boy choices and now you see it at CS. No wonder Affton has so many of the best players showing up at their door step just wanting to play top level hockey without the BS.

Before final decisions are made on some of these CS issues, can we get a MILF Enhancement Plan report?

Tread softly MILF Hunter, the Milf Hater will track you down on this thread! He's claiming your deader than Michael Jackson. He will spout off some crap that this board is for serious youth hockey issues! Whatever, the N54 where ANYTHING GOES!

8:46am is another impostor. Anyone can come on here and write this Milf crap, so don't be fooled! The perverted Milf Man is already 6 feet under, yes he is down for the dirt nap. I would like to congratulate the one who ended his pathetic existance on earth. Fry in hell Milf Man, I think Satan has a present for you...turn around and bend over!!

Let’s all just hope that both CHA and Affton have good competitive teams this season. Both teams seem to have several good players. Yes, Affton lost 2 of the best players to AAA but also improved at other positions. CHA has several new players and a new coach...come on...they have to be better than last season.

I don't know why any of you Chesty parents are surprised with the activities leading up to the final team. I surely wouldn't be surprised if you end up with another player or two added to your roster. There has been all sorts of behind the the scenes shit going on since the end of AAA try-outs. This team should dominate with more then half the team being former AAA players and especailly if Brandes can coach as good and as much as he worked at getting players to play for him.
Most of the team was promised a spot just for showing interest in playing. I wonder how many parents were promised coaching positions?

could somebody post the Chesterfield roster on here? Just curios who made that team.

Sounds like there are too many cooks in the kitchen. Parents f&*k teams up all the time.

Who are the CHA goalies?

Same ones that let in 118 goals in 24 games last year.

looks like a few A1 players from last year on the team.

of those former AAA's, only the last two were on the AAA team last season. among the other three from AAA last year, Affton CS picked up two and I don't know where the Springfield IL kid will play this season.

It doesn’t matter who got the AAA players. The 95 AAA's have been awful the last few years. Why would you want to boast that you got these players when apparently they weren’t very good as a team the last few seasons? It proves that the 95 AAA's are a joke of team when there so called super stars don't make AAA the next season, come down to a CS team and are not the best players on the team by far!!! Chesterfield has a number of quality players that are better than the x AAA's and some should have made the AAA team if it wasn't for the politics. Chesterfield will be much improved this season and hopefully with the coaching change get some wins. Chesterfield is moving in the right direction and should play Affton very well this season.

Said well. X AAA players do not equal superstars by any means.

Guess everyone has their definition of superstars. I think each birth year has 4 or 5 superstars. About 20-25 kids at the next level, a whole bunch of kids at another level. Unless your kid is one of the top 4 or 5 at his birthyear do not sweat much. It is just about fun. That is not to say that kids will continue to get much better at the older ages.

Case in point, ask Zuke about Chris Butler as a Peewee. Chris was the fourth or fifth best AAA defenseman. Really started improving and was the top three in bantam. Then the best as a midget. Went on to play at Denver and now playing for the Buffalo Sabres. If your kid is playing tier II at bantams unless he choose not to try out for tier I, chances are one in a million that he will do anything substantial with hockey.

Don't agree. When your kid does try out fot tier i and doesn't make it, but should have, it is only the coaches opinion. The 95s have some very good kids on cs teams. The best team for aaa is not on the ice this year.

With some, not the best by a long shot.

Sorry about that, I had forgot about some kids being "too good" for the the AAA team. My bad on that.

Oh, my gosh, not this tired subject again. If your kid is good enough, he will rise to the top. Let's give up on the 95AAA being not the best kids, please.

But their not. Give up on defending it. Are you feeling guilty about your bender and feel the need to defend his position?

if your kid got cut, he is not in the top half, so who cares?

Only your opinion, and you are an asswipe.

sorry, but making the team, yes, an opinion, mattering, no, no one cares, but you.

You apparently care or you won't be monitoring this CS thread and defending the AAA choices. I agree no one cares anymore, but your constant badgering of the opinion of others only leads me to believe that your daughter must have been one of the good ole boy bender choices at AAA. Was you daughter the tall one with the blue note on the helmet whos knees bent inwards at ever stop, turn and transition and also used her stick as a cane half the time. Anyone present at tryouts would have at least noticed this sad skilled individual, only one of the many buddy choices. Certainly stood out but for the wrong reasons. I can only say I'm glad my son is not playing with your daughter. Maybe she was a boy, but certaing played hockey like a first time girl skater. Enjoy your year looking over your shoulder knowing this is bender boys last year at AAA. The trash is discarded at midget, where skills will count over the buddy system.

Well if a kid is too good to make tier I at bantams they will probably be too good to make it at midgets too.

How did the Central District tryouts turn out for the ones that were overlooked for AAA and the kids that did make 95 AAA team? Right kids/best kids get picked there, or was that a scam, too?

Maybe one day all the best 95s will get to play on the same team. Midgets possibly, or not, but whatever team your child plays for, they should make the most of it and not dwell on if he/she made a certain team. If a child has the drive to improve and are good enough, they will make a team, as long as the parents are not extremely whacko, which is also sometimes the case. So instead of whining and making idiots out of yourselves, remember, maybe you're the one who swayed the final decision on whether or not they make the team.

No one swayed anything with the 95 AAA's except for the buds of MG. The best kids were not chosen....period!!! Minus the big kid ( CC ) on the AAA's they are a very beatable team either by Chesterfield or Affton. I don't think MG will play our CHA team or Affton but I would really like to see it.

Affton/Chesterfield CS= Tier 2(Lower Level)

AAA = Tier 1 (upper level)

AAA will beat Affton/Chesterfield, period.

Game on!!! Love to see it!!! Let everyone know when and where, please!

10:44

By your grading system you seem to have the same hockey smarts as your AAA leaders. Keep looking over your shoulder. Your little one won't be given a free ride forever.

AAA = Tier 1 (upper level)

You may be classified as Tier 1 but you don't have all Tier 1 level players. You have about 6 players, if that, that are truly AAA. After those players your team really falls apart and thats where Chesterfield and Affton can and will beat you.

And how many Tier I level players do you have?

Apparantly at least one that was too good for tier I.....

What are you talking about? At least one....??? What the hell does that mean??

From the list posted above I would say at least 9 of the players could replace any of the AAA's after the top 6 and the team would be better.

From reading the posts before, there was one kid at least who went out for AAA and was "TOO Good" for the team.

So who are the top 6 and who are the 9 that could be replaced. Would love to see your list.

None of those three 95 teams could beat a real teir one team like 96 AAA team

Nine of the CHA CS could replace AAA kids and the team would be better? Seriously? And don't forget about the Affton roster. It is a shame that all the best kids can't be on the same team, if that's truly the case. And what about other birth years, do the best players not play together on those teams either? I know once you hit midgets it's a whole different ballgame with the double birthyear and then the addition of the Selects in the mix. Why all the complaining, when you think about it, kids at all birthyears are spread out, not just this one. It seems politics are always involved in any sport to some extent. Everyone deals with it. As said before, some coach, somewhere along the line, if your kid is good enough, will recognize that and really want him on their team. If not, perhaps your judgment could be a little off. Just a mere suggestion, don't fly off the handle at the thought. There are a lot of talented kids that don't play AAA. There are also other opportunities out there for your kid to stand out, make themselves noticed, by unbiased evaluators/coaches. Hopefully, this will happen and you can have the right to say, I told you so. Success is the best revenge, after all.

1:48 Afton CS beat 96aaa last year. Get your facts straight.

1:15

You talk of the kid that is too good for AAA over and over. Is this the only material you have or do you just have an ax to grind with a individual dad and can't let it go. He doesn't have to be all that good to be better than half the AAA team so what's your point?

What do you mean by too good for the AAA team?

Folks - That is the kids Dad who is posting all that jazz.

Yes, I get that, but what is the too good for AAA?

I am still waiting for somebody to name the 9 kids on AAA that could be replaced by the kids on Chesterfield and Affton CS. The question was ask and nobody seems to have an answer or they do not know.

Replace any of the bottom 9 with any of the CHA or AA kids and you have a better team.

Not supposed to name kids. there are plenty of names to post. Can't do it...not ethical.

The CHA folks are really full of them selves. The majority of their CS teams have not done squat and they are getting worse. All the OTT's, coaches from other clubs and the fact that people think the road to AAA runs thru CHA and they still can not compete with Affton at all levels. Plus the cost is rising as well to pay for less than a mediocre club.

3:23pm that must of been last year that affton 95 cs beat 96 aaa. they are both different teams this year.
