What will this team look like for next year? Any Changes?

Tons, best players leaving to Nats.

are there any moving down to AA?

Whole team should go to AA they are shit

Here we go .. let the pimping begin...

Sick all year of hearing from one Mom on the team how her kids going to the show (not the goalie)

My Son looking to move up from AA. He is a defencman. I heard they are still looking for "D". any thoughts from people that are familiar with this team.

Dont waste your time. They are already full

Where does your son play the east or the west?

south

South what?

South Philly

Thanks for the info. He playes on a AA mississauga team.

I hear Royals in West have good programme
Best programme I hear is HC in the East , maybe too far for you though

How do you say HC is the best program in the east when it's a start-up that hasn't had a real season yet?

It doesn't take much to call around and see whos going where and who's running what.

I suggest you call around for yourself,

I hope not too many changes with the Dad's - best looking group of Dad's in the GTHL. love going to tourneys and seeing the group of you:) Alliance Mom

Thanks

Somebody's giving me the Horny Chills

Is it true 2 Terriers on Titans?

4 or 5

as well as one of the goalies

Sorry I meant to say 6

What going on?

With what?

So which Terriers are going then? Sounds like half the team

only 2, goalie #1 and forward #17

When a team takes more out of the 97 Marlies in the semi-final than any other team ever has, I am sure there must be only AA players on the team. Where do these experts come from? Mind boggling.

Okay DH
We all get it

DH Where are you?

houston is the best just ask him

5.57 - it wasn't your team - it was your Goalie. Once he started falling apart ... well, you know the rest.

I wasn't there, but did the goalie also score their goals?

yes!

Goalie has peaked ... downhill from here on ....

11:41 AM

birds have larger brains than this fool.

Holy Crap Batman

Did you hear the Bat phone
Yes Its commissioner Gordon

Off to fight crime and save the day once again

Tony, Tony, I bet it was the Diaz Brothers !

Holy Crap Batman
It wasn't the Diaz Brothers, it was

Super Titan ready to wreak havoc on the GTHL once again

Batman knows who you are.

poke fun all you want, but the Teen Titans look like they'll be in the top 4 mix again this year

who is SM and I hear he is joining your team

Top 8 for sure

definitely top 11. if you don't know who SM is, how could you know he's joining TT? retard

Super Mario!

Super Mario meets Super Titan


A BATTLE FOR THE AGES!

Some odd gthl parents must have a crush on this guy. What do you do? sit around and just froth at the mouth waiting to predict if it is DH or not. lol

Is that you DH?

Yep, it's me, Edwin Encarnacion.

DH and SM in the same team! Priceless!

It's DH on DH - he whips up this frenzy because he has time on his hands. If you knew you'd know that.

Who the F cares - what's going on with this crew next year? Top 2?

New D-man coming yet? At tryout on Tuesday

I still don't know how this team scored that many goals last year. The forwards suck, I don't think they will improve. This team has a bunch of luck, not sure how they do it, but watch them finish 8th or 9th this year.

Wish my team was that lucky.

you are in that team, moran

Top Ds left to Nats

Once again, Its Time for Super Titan, defender of the Hockey elite, to safe the day; and move those pesky Nats right out of that all star line up

Looks like wrong players added, could add to desention, we'll see

12:56, What are you talking about, speak english please.

Okay DH

Here goes fkdaltfpwKFKVFPSKGFPAERKGF DLKFSPF LSDKFLDFSA;DF
LKSFLK SLFLDFPWFK OKFO AOKFA[KF[WERKF[WKF OADKFOP

Better?

CAN I PLAY FOR THIS TEAM??

what the heck did DH do? nothing that's what he did. He tapes games to show how kids can improve he sharpens all the kids skates and helps where he can, what the hell is wrong with that, nothing is wrong with that nothing.

this team has done well they are a team because the coach is a great coach and DH kid is a great player and if you knew anything about hockey you would see that, Leave the family alone.

Put some constructive things on this website or just wash the dishes.

Titans will make some cuts prior to start of season.

Cut DH.

why did top dmen go to nats?

two D from Sens coming in, hope they can fit the mold

dh must have a fuck*n thousand tapes by now. he fuck*n started at 6.

2:03 no they wont - its all set

Lay off DH. Worry about your own team.

SM from old LF/DMF teams got his kid on via DH -- $$$$$ -- some are upset right now

more than some, kid just does not belong on team and everyone knows it and are balking

DH find a job and stop looking for hand outs or having wife pay for all.

Nats will finish higher then TT this season. More talent, top 6 Ds in the league.

ok top 6 D's how about the ex Titan # 44, his dad right up coach's ass, wife not far behind.

thanks coach, always bashing those that leave your program, we remember you saying what a bad player RC was when he left to the Sens, now he's back think Dad knows how much you bashed his kid

Nats 6 best dee cmon they were terrible last year and kept some...

so titans now have 2 kids who do not belong coach you know who other is? we do not need to say it everyone knows it haha what a joke program

let's be honest, Titans have maybe 4 true AAA players, and the Nats have maybe 2
the rest are AA1/2.

let's be honest, you're a dick.

who cares - none of them are going to the real show so let them just enjoy the game. Some will be drafted OHL but there's no CMD, BB or MS on this team by a long shot

Sorry we have one better than BB!

ON Titans??? No you don't. He's good in GTHL, but BB is the best goalie in Ontario. TT goalie does not have to carry the team - they have/had great D. BB is way ahead on skill and talent. You did not hear it here first and you will see it April 2013. Not pimping, just fact. If you don't like that, we can discuss again after draft.

Okay goalie Dad! Pimping is not healthy for you or your kid. Arrogance filters down to the kid and it affects his play. Confidence is one thing, but cockiness is destructive.

Agreed. Watch what the quiet confident tenders do this upcoming season. If everything in terms of ability was already decided, then we wouldn't have to play the Minor Midget year, would we.

the TT goalie is way overrated...over looked at the All State camp and the OHF camp...hmmmmmmm

Look like BB pimping scout on all threads! No one cares about BB in G. keep pimping him on your own site.

So destructive and such dent in his confidence that he is selected for allstate? Yup, kid's confidence must be shattered. LMFAO - this kid is going to do great and I am not his dad - the sad truth is you 97 gthl parents wish it was his parents pimping him all the time because that would justify the fact that nobody is talking up your own kid, but it's not - have you ever considered that it's just other parents who are secure enough to recognise when a kid has talent and maybe enough to go to the show.

11:33 - wouldn't HAVE to play the MM year? Talk about living thru your kid! Shame on you. WHy is your kid in minor hockey? Oh ya, the multi million dollar career

Nothing is decided for anyone until April. You all need to relax! Bashing people and their families is not cool!

BB group is the worst for bashing

who is BB

Ya who the heck Is BB

Bram. The team that currently has Ontario's best 97 goalie. He was selected for allstate above all GTHL goalies including TT

And if you don't know who BB of BB is, that proves your narrow minded attitudes in the GTHL

Daddy paid the right people

I know who he is. I think he's the goalie that played for Jokeville AA when we beat them to win OHF in Pee Wee. I think yet pretty sure, not very good I recall.what has he and pops won....squat!

^ a kid does not have to be on a winning team or have a cabinet full of trophies to be an outstanding player. How narrow minded and obviously jealous of you. Hello - Allstate!

allstate lol all the kids deserved to be there except for the bought ticket for BB. there are other goalies who have won and been key players in important games which is why they have won stuff. BB has no consistency and you never know what goalie you are getting in the game.

Boy, you jealous G parents are going to be in my thoughts when this kid gets drafted highest of all the goalies, followed closely by cambridge. These 15 year old kids have more chance of making it to the bigs than any over-inflated G goalie

You admit hockey much better in the G.

Boy these pimpers cannot even sleep at 3 am.

BB PR team works in shifts 24/7

6:21 - FYI - there are multiple timezones in North America and across the globe. Just because your factory assembly line job does not enable you to do much travel outside of your townhouse, doesn't mean the rest of us are stuck in one place all the time.

Remember this jealousy reigns supreme with simple minded people

If the BB pr team had half a brain they would realize they are setting this kid up for failure!

I don't know who this Brampton goalie is, but I know that at 15/16, many kids have already peaked and many are only just getting going.

His family is super nice and not the twits writing any of this crap.
Everyone take a chill pill and let the boys play ... then let their performance speak for them ....

Why do we care honestly! Go away!

6:14 I bow to your superiority. Please allow a lowly minion such as myself to have an opinion. Please, oh exalted one, may I be allowed to grovel in your worthy presence?

sure why not

Please - neither of those goalies will move past the OHL. That's it.

Thank you, my fulfillment is complete. I hope my bowing and scraping was adequate. I will continue to genuflect until you leave.

we will send 9-10 to the O and u can bank on that

YEAH RITE, WHO

75 kids will go to the O from G. Who cares - construction workers make way more $$$. Really, it's who makes the team and then the big show that really counts

Name 2 kids getting drafted???????? what a joke.

6:07 if you want to see your kid's initials, just pretend to be someone else and type them. That's how it's done. Fact:75 kids from GTHL WILL be drafted including some from TT

Not 97 draft buddy it is very weak in GTHL

Ya - someone says that for every draft year.

More kids drafted from Nats then TT

This year max 25 drafted from GTHL which is why so many kids left to go back to OMHA for minor midget. Reality is 2 Titans have a shot in later rounds.

Oh b.s. it's the same every year - and every year 75 kids get drafted from GTHL. Drafted is one thing - Making the team is where it gets tough.

8:15 true

815 and 16 facts are your friend
48 kids in 95
43 kids in 96
when you take out imports it really looks terrible for toronto

Who cares, imports or not - 75 kids currently PLAYING in the GTHL will get drafted. Where there homes are is irrelevant - they are playing hockey and have been developed by GTHL teams.

And by the way - one Titan will go first two rounds - already a done deal

which one

The best one - now figure it out for yourself

That doesn't make it any easier.

Next hint, he's the least mediocre, now can you figure it out? lol

Top 3 team that gave the Marlies a good run for the money - if they are mediocre then what are the marlies? Hint: It's not the small kid, not the biggest and not the g

I got it! The kid you're referring to is one who went to the Nats

The only decent one that went to the Nats was #71

Hmmmm ... no .... try again

he was the only one with ohl chances

RR ?

48 included imports buddy facts are your friend
If you cut imports then maybe 10-15 Toronto kids per year

It's MY

Good kid. Good luck to him.

It's an average of 75 every year - if it was 48 one year, that's an anomoly

last 2 years running and 97s will drop as it is a weak group

LOL - nice pimping job mom! NOT! ha ha ha ha ha.

actually this year is very weak with only 2 quality teams and even those 2 teams are not completely full with AAA level kids

actually you're a complete fucking moron

Not his mom. Good skater. What's rong with wishing a kid good luck?

only a relative would go thru the trouble of pimping him on here

Not every kid that is mentioned on here is pimpd by relatives. Some are actually that good that other decent parents are not afraid to wish them well for the future

must be a different my, or a different team, cuz the one i've seen is certainly not good enough to warrant unbiased praise from random well-wishers. do you go around to all the other threads and try to get people to guess who is going to be drafted in the first couple rounds cuz they're so good? didn't think so. i'm sure he'll have a fine year and you'll enjoy watching him. leave it at that.

A 15 year old doesn't have to be scoring all the goals to have a spot at the next level - it's all about potential remember

They dont take a kid on potential You ASSWIPE

Of course they do. Are you kidding me? That's why they are scouts and you are not. You think a 14 y o is going to be at his hockey career peak in Minor Midget? Teams are looking for specific players with upside.

Sure if you say so.

i think you're setting the kid up for a major disappointment next spring

WHat's your problem anyway? Your kid not getting looked at by scouts?

not this year, just wondering how those ahead are dealing with the draft year. apparently, some people come on n54 to pimp kids who aren't even their own and aren't really that good, which is pretty weird and pretty much unheard of on n54. maybe you could pimp my kids, too. cuz that will surely help their chances of getting looked at by "the scouts" you speak of.

LOL

Some kids are looked at earlier than others - usually because a scout sees something - it happens. Get over it. If your kid is good he will get attention early. If not, there's still time to improve.

it is unfortunate but crop is so bad in 97 this happens to some kids as scouts trying to find gems

And you would know that...how?

everyone knows 97s are terrible compared to 98s.

98's are short

Isn't this a thread about Titans

July 10 2012, 7:57 AM,
Some peak early, then disappear to obscurity. We can easily name some who already had seen the best days. This will continue to happen for many more years.

Some kids grow early and max out. Some kids grow late and peak in midget and jr b. Shit I have seen house league goalies in bantam go pro.

July 10 2012, 7:57 AM

You have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.

Uh, actually he's right some kids do get looked at in major bantam. MM year they are all looked at. A kid looked at early is no garantee. As someone else said, they may have peaked already and others will catch up

There are always examples of great things that happen with growth. Look at Quebec kid who was 5 ft 6 in mm/prep and ends up 6 3 in prep then goes 14th overall in nhl draft to Calgary. He was written off in bantam hockey as too small and too easily knocked off the puck but he could always score. He grows late at 17 and now a 1st rounder without even playing major junior.

Where did he play before getting drafted? If not in major jr how did he get noticed?

Weren't there family connections?

If you are good enough then they will find you always remember that it is so true. The kid was always a good player but was deemed to small. Hers is article in National Post below:

In December, he happened to be in Quebec to see another prospect — who, because of injury, ended up not playing. That left Weisbrod with a gap in his schedule. Button told him to fill it with a trip up the highway to see Jankowski.

So Weisbrod pointed his rental car into a blizzard — and away he went.

Beyond the kid’s name, he knew little.

“I can tell you I was in a bad mood — I was driving two and a half hours through snow,” said Weisbrod. “But by the middle of the second period, I was laughing out loud by myself in my seat.

“He’s a long way away, he’s raw, he’s young, he’s still got to cross the crocodile-infested waters and develop properly — like, it’s a long way from draft day to play in the NHL — but the physical attributes this guy has. The athleticism. The skating. The hands. The fact that he’ll likely be playing at six-four, 215. I’ve said it to our scouts all week long — he’s Joe Nieuwendyk.”

Jankowski has bloodlines, too.

Grandfather Lou Jankowski played for Detroit and Chicago. Uncle Ryan scouts for the Montreal Canadiens.

And Jankowski’s great-uncle? Would you believe the legendary Red Kelly?

But the kid himself did the convincing.

Not only did he ace three interviews with the Flames, he did wonders on the ice.

Jankowski, who doesn’t turn 18 till September, tore it up for Stanstead College, piling up 94 points, including 53 goals, in only 57 games.

Is this same kid who was cut by Hamilton Jr Bulldogs bantam AAA team?

he has a brother who is a 97 who was cut from Hamilton but I think he was cut too. Great family great kid, and he did it by himself for sure, now it helps if you have an uncle who is in Central Scouting. But who cares if the kid isn't good enough I don't care who your family is you probably not going to get drafted in the 1st round.

Good for this kid he works really hard and it shows.

so how did the kid get spotted just playing h.s. hockey? Seriously, without connections how realistic is it for a kid like that to be "found"? It would be interesting to hear the whole story on this one.

Oh, they will find the good ones, no matter where you play.

I don't know why you morons keep saying that. Truth is, if he's good enough, he'd be playing where they'd see him anyway. Ya, ok, one time some scout drove 2 hrs through a fucking snowstorm and found Roy Hobbs. Well sorry to burst your bubble, but that's not going to happen with your AA kid who of course should be playing AAA if it weren't for the bullshit politics keeping him down.

Bud take a chill pill. Coaches make mistakes and cut kids sometimes who are great players. In this case it was all about his size. He was very small in bantam mm midget and grew late. There are other examples of pros who grew late. They are always found. Think about it on your mm team how many kids are 5 ft 7 or less? The Euro kids tend to grow earlier and others grow when 17 and 18.

Take a reality pill dipshit. Coaches cut players whose parents think they are great players, and they tolerate asshole parents to keep the great players. And it is illogical and impossible for you to say the good ones are always found. How do you know how many kids who were or could have become great players were, in fact, found. It's one of the most moronic things ever spouted on N54, and that's saying something.

heh AC you never grew. i guess you know from your own experience. i hear if you grew you might have got a chance.

If you are talking about a kid (AC) then shame on you. Anyway there is plenty of time to grow - scouts know that

who cares how the kid got found or the connections he has, he is a player that worked really hard and got ripped it up in a Prep school. I am sure he would of ripped it up in AAA in Ontario too, great for him I hope all kids can get inspired by this player.

If a kid that is in AA does as well as this player and rips it up I am sure they will be seen.

AC kid is a great player and keeps getting better and better, also he works hard.

I can say all the Titan kids do so that is attributed to the coaching and the type of player this team seems to always get year after year.

I have no idea what your last sentence means...were you high?

Tendy better play out of his mind this season, otherwise there's just not enough firepower on this team to seriously compete.

some crackpot grandad with big dreams on here now. your post is laughable. it is all in the genes. the genesw do not work for hockey. nuff said. you are good people.

AC best '97 coach by alot. Gets more out of his teams then anybody

probably

he just isnt able to hangon to his top talent...

But he has top takent - drafting 1-2 rounds

-talent

If a kids name keeps cropping up on boards other than n54, and more respectable than n54, as a future prospect, you might assume that he is good enough to have been noticed by other than his parents

Sorry to burst bubble Titans have dropped year after year. Other teams have improved. Specifcally Rebels every year and Kings, although Kings won't be good this year.

OK - then just be ready to eat those words both in the season and at draft time

What boards?

HF for one

I don't think it counts when you put your own kid/grandkid's name onto HF yourself Mr/Mrs Round 1-2. Which is utterly absurd BTW.

Titans did not drop over the years. The past season's team had the most depth to date and went to a 7 game semi final with the Marlies who won it all. End of Story. Now, like every other year, take your dim witted opinions that have never been accurate and pick a new hobby. Why? Because you are not very good at this one.

I tend to agree.

1:30 wake up and get your story straight, wait a minute at this time in the morning you should be going to sleep, the best Titans team was 2 years ago when they went to the finals against the marlies now that was the most talented team they have had.

Titans team lacks talent. Every year talent goes away. I would say that is a weak coach. Good coaches improve talent every year. WG best coach by far in 97.

and what would you know about talent have you seen your kid lately

Lets see who gets drafted in April - that will answer your question

whatever keep dreamin

AC will get outcoached by top teams again, his kids icetime will get in the way of making right decisions who will play

His kid's good - that's why he gets icetime. Get your kid to work harder

The 97 Titans are nothing more than girlee boys that should be playing ringette.

Titans have always been in the top 5 team and as high as top 2 not a bad record. this is a well coached team that is for sure now leave it alone.

Yes, that's right. They are right up there with the rebs and marlies. 8-10 TT will place high in draft.

well someone finally spoke with some sense.

Oh ffs - you deluded parent - don't you recognise sarcasm????

You know this thread is a joke when someone says ACs kid is good. That genie was out of the bag in novice ac. Now I now tihs is not AC. He even says his kid sucks.

will finish in 7th...

Why? they have a first round draft prospect on the team don't they?

one good goalie and not much else..

Not acording to one mom - boy's a given first or second round

team is goalie when it played marlies tough otherwise 4 and out
non titan parent here

still drunk?

Has a point....playoffs were all about the goalie and a couple of kids that have now left

Titans will keep 6th or 7th cause league is terrible

What about the goalie signed by OR?

Slamming kids...classy. lets hear positive about what u kept. you have a great goalie...what else?

Did you keep Ajax kid? Which goalie went to Oakville?

\yes. Team is fine - will be 1 or 2 with the new additions

That is good then we still will get a challenge from your goalie. Otherwise it is lights out for Titans.

Goalie way over rated. Give it a rest.

whole team overrated

will be top four

OK mom, if you say so...only top 2 matters in this league - after that everyone else is an also ran

can see this team dropping as low as 8th...no scoring and only one goalie

There is two goalies!

sorry...one good goalie

does the back up goalie get a break on fees since he will only get to play about 10% of the games??

Why does everyone leave AC? I hear his kid sucks and that hurts him. Also hear he is a decent coach. What gives?

Seems like a decent coach, gets kinda riled up sometimes. TT did pretty well last couple years but everyone says they have no stars except maybe one G, so must be doing something right. His kid used to suck, he's ok now, average F.

One forward going nhl

The Big Guy

Which big guy?

He went to another team didnt he?

no

Which big guy there is three or four

MY is the only kid getting a look on this team. Not sure if he has an agent, but he will go high in the OHL draft.

Sorry but TT will go high in the 1st round to Brampton..you can take that to the bank.

Good luck to my he is a good hardworking kid. may not be a superstar but a solid player. no no no I am not his family before anyone jumps on me .

the only kid and I repeat only kid that will go first round is AH from this team

Looks like all the tt kids are going first round...awesome

I have not seen AH for awhile, how tall is he? has he hit 100lbs yet? Listen, I'm not poking fun at him. He is a good hockey player, but last I saw he was 5'2 and maybe 95lbs. That's not real good OHL material.

I don't want to pick apart kids here, but if you are going to put a name out there, be prepared for others to do just that, especially as the MM season goes along. All these kids will get looked at, so you don't need to throw out their names here. If they earn it, they'll get drafted. You aren't helping.

Nats got the best out of this team. Good addition to already good Ds on Nats.

You'll think otherwise once you see them in games.
