For how much we have to hear how great AAA is, their "studs" if you can call them that were completely outplayed and outclassed. Lordo is a huge orange pylon and the biggest meat head/ bad sport ive seen in a while. Gensler doesnt even skate and is a hot head, and Wideman was the same way.

As for the Jr B representative, player of the game Burkemper had 2 goals and a assist, Clark had 4 assists and Polizzi had one of the biggest snipes of the year.

Jr B not only has classier players, but better players.

Same arguments year in and year out. Nothing chagnes.

If nothing else, the AAA players from CCP came off as lazy, hot-headed poor sports. Your not that good take the loss like a man. Lordo should be suspended the first couple games next year he is pathetic. Gensler tries to be smooth, but he clearly tripped Filip on purpose and im glad Clark dropped him immediately after.

Id love to hear the CCP faithful try to back up their boy Lordo now. He is worse than a pylon, at least if you put a pylon out there it wont get 5 penalties in just over 2 period.

YOu cant even start to compare these two situations. CBC has an entire team of AAA junior b or central states players. CCP has 3 AAA and only a couple other nice players. When you have 5 kids on the ice who can play the game its a lot easier. Lordo is a stud. Just go watch a AAA Major game he plays in and then come on here and say that. Because if you do then we will know that it is just a vindictive thing with you and Lordo. Clark is a nice player as well and would do better for himself to player AAA major. Gensler is by far better than any of CBC'S forwards. Carey would be the only one who is on Geslers level but he plays d on CBC and FOrward on AAA.

Agreed almost completely, Gensler is great and Wideman and Lordo are both really good. None of the three showed very well last night, but this is high school hockey not juniors. They all are vital parts of the AAA team which is fine and dandy. But how bout some of you AAA people give credit to Jr blues players when its due. Burkemper was player of the game. Clark had 4 points. Polizzi and Aldag both played well. AAA isnt the only way to go. Jr B is a great developmental team as well and that is evident by how their players played in the biggest game of the year.

Burkemper- 2g 2a
Clark- 4a
Polizzi- 1g(snipe) 1a
Aldag- 2a

They showed up and were more classy than anyone on that ice. They might have taken a couple of penalties, but none were stupid they were protecting and standing up for their teammates on all of them if I remember correctly.

Getting on here and ripping CBC is classless. Equally classless is rubbing someone's nose in it. I suggest all you spoiled lazy teenagers go shovel the driveways. Especially since your parents have been hauling your ass around for many years so that you could become good or decent hockey plaers.

AAA at that level isn't the be all end all. If you notice the older the level of hockey AAA and CS tend not to completely favor AAA so the difference isn't that high. It is a matter of coaching at some point. A team needs to play as one and at least they can give any other team a good game.

jr b doesnt have better players this year the past 4 years yes but not this year just ask jack to play them AAA wouldnt back down.

To the posters putting up the stats of the CBC kids did you notice that all those players could be on the ice at the same time. And you still have ROth Carey a few other central states kids. Thats my point. Other than Wideman who would Gensler have on a line with him. Who does Lordo have on the ice with him. The point is not whether or not the Junior B players are bettet or the AAA kids are better. The point is if you have 5 kids on the ice who are all at that level its much easier to have those stats. For instance if Burkemper was on CCP and Gensler was on CBC would he have 4 points. PRobably not. Would Gensler have at least 4 points on CBC you bet he would.

Sounds to me like Chaminade needs to spend more time developing players. You can do that over the course of a season if you play your entire team instead of five or six players. Maybe you lose a couple of games and you are a fourth seed. Better than getting your ass handed to you this time every year.

That was maybe the most moronic post yet. Hey dumb dumb you dont develop 4th lines and 3rd lines with benders to play against 1st and 2nd lines of Elite Players. You truely have no clue what so ever. If you both had equal kids to pick your team from then of course you should have at least 3 lines that could compete. However when you go to war you dont send out your girl scouts to battle their special forces. Go back to sleep.

It looked like CCP did send their girl scouts to do battle !

I think you are missing the point of the previous comment. You have to develop your players during the regular season so that you don’t just have 2 lines ready for the playoffs.

FHC played CBC closer then CCP did and they don’t have a roster full of “elite” players. They developed 3 lines during the season due to coaches that were looking ahead to the playoffs and knew they would need to be 3 lines deep.

Now i see your a FHC coach thumping your chest like you accomplished something. You were lucky you had a good goalie who stopped like 50 shots a night. You also had the luxury of getting CBC on the Larger ice surface at chesterfield. On a smaller rink it wouldnt have been as close no matter who your goalie was. Also if you had 2 strong lines in the CBC game as bad as they played you may have even won. So your third line crap probably hurt you more than helped you. Also i dont think FHC had anyone on their coaching staff that could have developed any line. I overheard players saying their moms could have coached the team better than their coaching staff.

you can only develop players to the best of their ability. CBC has more talent plain and simple. You put a whole team of that natural talent together and the stats add up. If it was as simple as just 'developing' talent before the playoffs, then everyplayer would be equal. There is a limit to what can be done with average players. You can teach them positional play, strategies, etc. but bottom line is the more natural talented player will still burn him at the blue line. If player 'a' skates faster thatn player 'b' he will win himout for the battle of the puck. No 'development ' in the world will over come that. That was really a dumb statement to make.

No acutally just a parent. Obviously you know more about it then me since my son played for them and you didn't.

What is acutally. Wow. YOur kid must have been a third liner. Thats why your saying that. Maybe if he would have played the right kids with the right lines maybe you could have held the shots on goal to only say 30. Maybe you score a couple of more goals and win the game who knows. One thing for sure is that the 3rd line didnt win the game for you. As a matter of fact i over heard people talking who saw FHC play in the other playoff games and said they were completely out played in every series but the goalie saved their ass. Your development statement just doesnt hold water in this situation. You have to have 2 strong lines at that level and a third line of crashers just to throw out there once in a while to give the real players a rest.

Don't bad mouth Lordo daddy will call you up and want to punch your lights out.

4:34--If player 'a' skates faster thatn player 'b' he will win himout for the battle of the puck.

And you are calling someone else dumb?

Lordo's a tool and always will be. His Daddy has pulled the political game switch and that's the only reason why he's not playing in the Busch league. Just another tomato can...

4:36, Daddy Lordo won't do that. He'll come over and eat all of the food in your fridge. Can't you see he's good at that?? That's how he gets even...

Thats great way to lower yourself to that. Wow the people on here are pathetic.

You overheard a lot of people saying a lot of things. Do you ever actually go to a game or do you just sit at home. Have you ever played? Coached?

Its hard to play with a team like CBC when their whole third line each had a goal.

cbc? who is that?

okay i might agree with some of that. but come on, lets be real here, jrb players are better than aaa, ha...come on now. jr b is a complete joke, just look at the rink they play at.

The same rink that produced the only 2 kids that were talked to from the Prospects team? Yeah, that what I thought.

here we go rip on the lordos. More sucsesful than you will ever be. way to hide behind a computer

ya jr blues suck read the new hockey news and look what coaches turnbull says helped his career behan and zombo not his AAA coach and read the alums of JR blues who has AAA produced in the past 4 years and look at the JR Blues. enough said

Every kid that has moved on out of STL has played AAA during their development.

ya and 90% in the last 10 years was moved on by jack

The only thing Jack brought to STL hockey was his tainted website. Every player who move on from his team was seen at selects or a prospect camp. None watches or cares about Jr B hockey except for the hoosiers on Gravois and the parents who drink the kool aid.

best coach in st louis

Yes he is......I've been with both programs...(Jr. Blues and AAA)....Jr. Blues have a better organization...well ran and stable. There are reasons that many of the best players from St.L have moved through the Jr.Blues program....coaches don't come and go or move up with their kids.

yeah, its to bad their team sucks

Yeah it must suck to move the most kids on to Jr A year in and year out

there is not one player this year or next who will move on. who are you kidding that he is a great coach.

Id rather play for the Jr. Blues any day instead of the best team money can buy (AAA).....without naming names the best players are not selected for AAA...tired of the political bs.

Lets hear the names ...

Quinn's his dad got him on the team. Even with the jr blues having a bad year they still had the best '89(kurdlanski) and '90(hutton) left in st louis and they were still better than AAA. AAA only beat Cfield by 1 with cfields minor goalie in net.

because AAA is a joke, sure they have a couple of studs but other than that its just a bunch of rich kids who parents can afford to pay upwards of 10 g a year for a game

their studs arent too good

Cost to play AAA midget major $6,500, scouted more than 40 games this year. There were no players on Jr b that AAA was interested in.

hutton is the best

yes just ask his dad

AAA was interested in some.

they were not interested in anyone on Jr b.

yes

6,500 is still 3 times as much as Jr B. I struggle to say that its worth it.

jr b sucks.. jacks a joke... And will grant boyd ever be too old to play on that team? Jr in college has to be getting close to the age limit

he only played 2 years

alright... just buy me some beer

Yes there are Jr B players that AAA is interested in

This shouldn't be alarming, kids just prefer to take different routes for different reasons with their hockey future.

I'm sure the Jr. Blues would like some AAA players as well!

i dont think boyd can play aaa maybe 6 years ago hes a little old

Very tired arguement. Play 10 times next year and after AAA kicks the crap out of Juniors (on the scoreboard-with skill) we can finally put this to rest.

Just like how AAA "kicked the crap" out of a CSDHL team 3-2?

AAA is a striaght joke their best players were dom and oz. Jr blues would shit bag them in one punch just like Cfield would have if their minor goalie didnt play and AAA is a bunch of pussies most of them couldnt play juniors cuz its too rough for them

AAA Midget Major "is a joke", but they have 12 of their players attending USHL main tryout camps over the next 3 weeks. Let me guess how many Jr b players were invited to USHL main camps (zero). It is obvious that AAA MM gets an incrediable amount of exposure.

Well...since none of the AAA players have been selected to actualy play in the USHL...lets look at the previous year, two Jr. Blues actualy played for USHL teams.....how many AAA players tried out in USHL camps last year?....is there a fee to tryout for the USHL camps!!....oh!

any AAA MM get a roster spot yet

None of the Jr b kids last year were scouted at Jr b games. Sorry, they were scouted at national select camps. When will you Jr b kool aid drinkers realize that college and junior scouts do not follow Jr b. Just look at this years results.

how much did you pay for little Gretzky to go to camp?

Both Jr. Blues and AAA provide high level hockey for St. louis. Both send players on to higher level teams....look at the list of alumni for each program. If a player is good enough his coaches will make sure they get the attention. If someone has a problem with one of the two programs...its because of their own agenda...suggest quit taking shots at these programs and be glad we have them.

Now tell me how do you think these kids make junior a teams if you do not send them to the tryout camps? They cost between 200 and 300 dollars and you have to send them. They aren't going to make it unless they go to the camp. You are such an ass.

They will take most players at the camp......wait and see who makes the team before you start bragging....and you are the pompous ass.

Players in St. louis who have potential to move on are already on lists.....going to camps doesn't hurt......but, if your good enough, you will be found.

10:49 good point-promote hockey dont bash it

and state the rest of it if you are on a list then you are invited to a camp. Also you get a call and not just an e mail invite. You need to go all the way through the process.

Scouts dont follow teir 3 juniors in the CSHL or WSHL but out east they do and MNJHL because they dont have to travel to scout it but at nationals they do plus even if they arent scouted the players are still invited to camps and move on. In the last 4 years here are players who moved on from JR BLUES
