So what is the story with this team next year?

Will the AA washouts make a difference or will they simply destroy the team chemistry like they did before they left?

Has the new coach broken the news to the 7 players that they are dripping?

No the kids coming back from AA are just A players so they will not dominate or stand out next season. In some cases they are worse than the players gettig cut.

Has the new coach broken the news to the 7 players that they are dripping?

^^^^^^^^

why are they dripping?

it's dropping Okay so drop it

Typical Erindale BS, no loyalty to the kids that worked hard all year.

Drop them when weaker alumni want to return, but don't tell the cuts until the AA washouts actually show-up at the skates. Classless.

Erindale will have best team again. We win with depth. We do not need any stand outs. The kids leaving all know what is going on and have found other teams. Some going to PC, Meadowvale and LP. Hopefully it will improve those teams. Goodluck.

Good luck with the new coach. Did you see what he did with his ER Midget Sr. team this year? Best regular season team but they didn't win a game in the playoffs. Players quit on him.

don't forget us

ER had the best team, played like a team and had no quit. Thats why they beat ME.
ME coach more supportive of ER players than his own team. trying to get some of his previous players back?

?^

What happened to this team?
They used to be the best around

still are

still are? in what way?

11:10 is the new coach. Expect him to be a regular here. His ego is very fragile. He must protect it all cost including monitoring this site. Last years' kids couldn't wait to get the season over with him. very errogant person! and the only reason they gave him the 97 team is ER friendships, not ability to communicate or coach.

New coach is a social misfit just like the guy they had coaching the 1997 this season. Why is it that these 2 socially chanllenge guys keep coaching hockey when they have nothing to offer. They can't communicate with the players or parents. Just stay at home Minor hockey doesn't need either TN or CL. THey only do it for their egos and it doesn't work because everyone see them at the rink and just laughs.

Erindale is famous for getting coaches from the retirement homes.

what is this crap on all the threads

Team will be very strong with many AA kids coming back.

AA kids weren't AA to begin with, no upgrade

er dynasty will continue

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
Your Kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins,
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom,
the power and the glory are yours.
Now and for ever.

Amen.

heard ER coaches have 20 AA kids dropping down and 5 AAA kids coming tonight to the tryouts

good luck to the returning players from last year, you will find yourself on the outside looking in after tonight !!

i heard about 4 coming back

2 coming back.

one is an average A Def. and the kid he bumps out will be a better player.

How many players will be surprised to lose their spots tonight?

More than you think

And than they get to sign with CL or CV

spots?

Actual signed 16 skaters again. Bad situation trying to manage 10 forwards all season

Suspensions and injuries will cure that ill.

No it will not.

Last season in important games when they had a full roster it is terrible. Kids love icetime and hate the extra player. Call ups solve injury and suspension problem.

Why did you sign then?

Beacause they did not tell us they were going to carry 16 skaters. Some kid just appear at the tryouts and he couldn't really skate but they still signed him. I was shocked when my son told me on the way home tht this kid was on the team. OUCH!

thanks 8:55. good to know that both team manager and coach will be regulars here protecting the firm

Will be very few games where all players will be available.

thanks coach, thanks manager, the firm is at work.
don't forget to defend the 99's S.

you got that right!!! Who's ass should I kiss to stay on their good side

you must kiss both of them

So looks like ER didn't improve, either on the ice or behind the bench.
Could be a long year for them.

They don't have to improve
Last time I checked they won the championship DUMBASS

You're right, that was a dumb statement. How about this one?

Looks like ER got worse by losing 1/3 of their goal scoring and downgrading your D by bringing in some AA cuts that are small and play scared. With many of the other teams making significant improvements, it looks like it will be a long year for this team with forwards that are too small.

Ok thats much better

They signed a 16th player who couldn't skate?
Let me guess, he was a former ER player, right?
New coach must really be a good judge of talent.

we need that kid

... kid's money

sorry thought I would finish your sentence

THAT TOO

16 skaters? Is this year's coach going to go with 9 forwards and 7 defensemen like last year's coach did? LOL!!

Lots of grumbling from jealous parents who were asked to move on. Typical scenario no surprises. Team is improved. Much faster team. More skill. Depth is top of league. Looks like another championship.

6 forwards and 10 defenceman

Improved speed.

Are you kidding.

What do you think he's going to say; we're slow as molasses in winter. Take it for what it is and giggle when you see the tortoise blow past them.

If you only changed 3 skaters how is it a much faster team? Did all the returning players go to power skating 4 hours a day since they lost the playdowns?

Typical Post from the coach, blame parents who are leaving. Except that many of the posts here are from parents who are still on the team!!

coach said he added 5 AA players at tryouts and was waiting on 2 more. I saw only 3 at skate. What gives?

Coaches say a lot of things. Penguin said he played jr A.

yeah the other AA players were goalies
Coach says they're going with 5 goalies this season, gonna build from the goalie out

Bigfoot will be pissed.

true, litle foot was suppose to go to AP but that fell through


littlle and the D that ER add are just average A players.

I don't understand little going back to ER. Didn't ER learn their lesson?

Little Foot = $$$....not wins!!

little foot will get lit up in A just like he did in AA.

he would be good at a level where they can't raise the puck

last season #44 and #88 were involved in 75% of this teams goals.

88 was a one way player, he was also on the ice for 75% of goals scored by the other team.

Team should be the same. Lost 4 and gained 4 equitable players.

There's the coach again defending the firm. #88 was not the weakest forward defensively on the team and no way was he on the ice for anywhere near as many goals against as he was on for goals for.

Fact is that he was the team's leading goal scorer and the team will struggle to score next year as they have not replaced him with either of the 2 forwards they brought on.

Team is weaker, other teams got better = long season for ER.

Where did he go

PC

Seemed like #88 was scoring all ER's important goals in the play offs also.

coach was clueless using 10 forwards and nothing has changed

new coach is just as stupid

where do they find these useless coaches who bring no value to their volunteer position

erindale attracts the most players and still these guys can find a way to screw it up

They need to figure out how to attract good coaches, not the dinosaurs they dust off every season

the dinosaurs strategy is all part of their mission statement.

they think kids like playing for old men that know nothing about hockey and who can't communicate


they even do this an Atom and Minor Atom

No offense but the old guys should run the association, sit on the board etc.
Leave the coaching for the younger guys
You see the same thing in the pros- older farts are the GMs and younger guys are the coaches, happens more and more these days ...
This ER model is DEAD and should be changed

not only is the model dead some of these coaches don't have a pulse.

last seasons coach of this team never talked to the parents all season long

never really coached the kids that is why it was so amazing what the team acheived.

the players that did not listen to the coaches or follow their crap were the ones that lead the team to victory

Why do u play here if its so bad?

cuz we still win, despite the bad or lack of coaching

what would be nice to explore is how the team might have done at the playdowns had they decent coaches for a change !

u actually believe that someone from the team would be on this site ?

born yesterday were we !!!

I think your whole team is on this site

They've got lives to live

give me a break
half your team or more are on this site
don't kid yourself buddy

you know what you're right
most 14 year olds don't have better things to do
i should have known

lmao

oh i forgot

buddy

We love Erindale. We win all the time. It does get boring for rest of u.

Will win easy again this year. ER dynasty will continue.

Didn't win easy this year and you have become worse so why would you win easy next.

Small and scared forwards will not win you games.

Very untrue must be another coach. Team is far better this year.

Not according to the ER parents posting on here, new ER coach. They are saying you at best, stayed the same.....reality is you probably got worse.

Add in your stellar coaching track record from this year's Midget Sr. ER A team and you have a much worse minor midget team at ER.

Just wait until the LP AA goon football team plays you next season

They will crush your small and scared forwards into the ice !!

what you cant see you cant catch big boy from reject pile have fun at LP

thanks coach

Problem drop out from the Jets will cause you problems

5:29. your kid is nice but your a bit too cocky. it's this attitude that people hate. you say it's 'A' hockey but then you talk about a dynasty. grow up.

erindale parent calling kids rejects. wow. you really are a fucking goof

who is the drop out jet player

Love the ER parents, so obnoxious. The only ones worse are Terrier parents. Funny thing is they play out of the same rink. Must be the air.

Its the coffee.

can u hum a few bars

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K41YrI3RRRM&feature=endscreen&NR=1


great tune give it a good listen

cant be bothered

of course you've got better things to do at 6 am !!

will win again like usual

not with the new coach unless the kids coach themselves like they did last season. team won last season because the best players competely ignore the old man coach

How old is old,

guy is probably not old but acts like a grumpy old man and can't communicate with players or parents so God knows why he wants to coach.

I guess being on the ER board give you the right to coach any team you want to.

ER number one again.

ER has best skating team and most depth but no one likes you. ME, CO, PC and LP will give you good games.

Who likes anyone in this loop, really, are you new?

we hate you

Good, that way I wont have to listen to your inane blathering at the rink!

lazy eye and his midget forwards are going nowhere next season. won't even be top 4.

didn't ER learn their lesson with littlefoot last time around?

Who's lazy eye?

ER the best skating team. That is Bullshit.

hey poll. why do u have to be such an arrogant asshole who knows fuck all about hockey. like I said, your family is nice,,but too bad your such an ass kissing arrogant asshole. u are where u belong

who is poll

I have no idea who he is.

Way to go winning the Huskies Tourney.
