The show starts tonight.
Should be interesting.

Halton is missing a lot of players that they thought were coming?

Now what.......

Mising 1 player.

That's it

I don't think so!

You must be talking about imports.

All the other teams are picked.
It's stupid that Halton starts tryouts this late.

Only one missing is right....

How many back from last season?

3

where are the new kids from

The G, Brampton, Oakville, Burlington, Milton and one from Guelph.

interesting,,quite the mix

no one from Burlington or Hamilton and only missing one kid

always

It looked like all the Milton players walked out with a release.

You would think one or two would have a shot at this team.

Sad. So much foor hometown hockey

Did any Milton players get an invite to the next skate?

Nope not good enough

That is not accurate.

2 were asked back

Get your facts straight

No one from burlington or guelph either

Then who was asked back, other then the kids in yellow with black shoulders?

Cow pENIS

Goat fuker

Did AR get his release?

He will. And how does the coach not appear at tryouts.

No one....not one will get out...

Option one...sign with halton now
Option two...sit out and wait until Jan for eaxh appeal and return to halton anyway..
Option three...sit out entire year...

Not getting out...no saving grace...no smoking gun...if he tries to claim irregularities it still won't get him out.

Coach is a chicken, all talk .

Zero to do with coach....its the org policy this year and omha will back them up 100%

That kid is highly over rated, will be helpful addition but not a game changer.

Agreed but still halton property. Not going anywhere.

Halton is not getting all their players they first thought were going to play here. People have figured out that the coaches are not right to get place their child in the spotlight. It is all starting to crumbler......

Cow pEnIs

Nice try bud....ITS sad when your kid isn't wanted. All horses in the stable...

Question is did AR and Mercer come to the second tryout... The answer is no. And as of now Mercer on ice with Marlies.

How can anyone play for a coach who wasn't even at try-outs. Choose to be in Cuba instead.

He was in Cuba looking for anew donut. The spicy crullier

12:36, that's the problem with kids now a days. They don't know their priorities. The fact the coach thought he didn't need to be here is unheard of. Great example to show the players about commitment. That's all you need to see to know the direction the team is going.

12:35

2nd tryout is tonight.

Who cares, this crackpot group of parents will run this team anyways. Coach is irrelevant

Truer words have never been spoken.

When they were al1 together back in Novice and Atom they won nothing. Got into the OMHA's once and walked away with nothing.

Why would anything change? They will be a little over .500 and that's it. They won't see any Sundays on any tournaments. Two kids may get drafted.

The coaches will take all the credit for those players getting drafted.

This will be a top 3 team in the SCTA.
They will hold there own at tournaments.

Not a top team in the province but they will do well.

how have you gone from 9th to 3rd - still not clear if all the gthl kids came back

how was tryout last night

They will be a strong team, no mercer at tryouts but everyone else looks great with also some more talent at tryout

Is the coach back from Cuba..? And Rapp?

No Rapp

and the grand plan starts to crumble

Why?
Because of Rapp?
Let him go...
Let him go...

Team will be fine with out him

12:35 if mercer has been on any ice for any team other than halton he will not play anywhere this upcoming year I'm sure dad isn't that stupid? Or is he? No one is above the rules no matter what school or where u say u may live or not live. Paperwork was not submitted and therefore he's going hone to play or not play at all.

End of story.

No mercer, no Rapp. this team and its master plan is crumbling fast

If you are going into residence at PEAC or HILL etc you cant be held back. One of the few benefits of these orgs.

No one from the G has signed, have they. Forcing folks to play for a team that they don't want to can never work. Sorry about your luck. Try building a solid organization from the ground up and people might WANT to play for you. Starts with the Halton brass.

So just to be clear, we're not going to be hearing too much more about how Halton will be finishing top 3 in the loop? I was kind of tired of hearing that.

Did anyone actually obtain a release?

No releases yet. Lots of behind the scenes maneuvering.

Only the ones they did not want. Couple of Milton kids.

The 7 Milton kids they let go are all decent players. The 3 in Guelph will help the team, the 2 Milton kids that were let go the other night should have been given a shot at game play.

The 2 left are both long shots to make the team.

Good luck to the 5 boys left skating with AAA teams.

Wtf you talking about. Check the thread title.

Who are the Milton kids that got cut? Who are left?

7,8, 19 cut and with Guelph
88 , 69 still with Halton
16 , 14 cut last skate

The Hurricanes cut Miltons 3 best players. Now Guelph will have the luxury of having 3 players drafted into the OHL. What are these coach's thinking letting go such impact players?

This team looks like all Georgetown and Oakville not too much if any from anywhere else.

12:43 on glue...strong stuff too

Just for the recored the 3 kids you say got cut and went to guelph they actually asked for a release to go to Guelph they never wanted to play for Halton... As you know you have to have a release from your own AAA center to try out for another AAA center. So they had no choice but to skate for Halton to go to Guelph to try out...good luck to all the 5 skaters still skating for AAA from Milton.

Final cuts made look to have great team this yesr

Won't the final cuts be made tomorrow?
Or is that the team at the Guelph gam.

no rapp no mercer no chance.

so where did all the kids on final roster come from

Hurricanes played Hamilton Reps last night and won 4-1 without the exception of there best players

perpspective. Burlington beat Reps 3-0. This team aint anything special

Any of the same kids signed from last year

have MK twins signed yet

dad of twins will fuck up any chance those boys have in advancing in hockey...everyone knows about the whining the bitching the complaining always looking to put his kids on stacked teams...pulling a powerplay move on halton as others have signed is disgusting...coaches know about this...parents know about this...hockey people including scouts know about it already. Dad! Wake up...its not hush hush...you are and will devalue your boys in the eyes and ears for those that matter.

What powerplay move?

Refusing to sign while everyone else has...

Let 'em walk. they're not that good.

Beg to differ...kids are very good hockey players but dad needs to just sign and let everyone file in place

They are not that good indeed.

I'm willing to bet they are head and shoulders better than your kid.

I doubt it, believe what you want daddy. If they're that good why wait for the hold outs, should be first with them alone. Sign and lets see.

Someone has a past with the twins daddy. Yikes, could be a fun time in the stands at those Halton games.

The forward twin is a great player and the defenceman is solid, should help Halton if they sign, but I doubt they will

They will and this team will be tough to beat. D needs work but rest of team is solid.

Heard twins want release to go to TRW.

Heard wrong...

I saw the twins waiting to speak after, looking to move

Sure u did...

This team will blow up!

One release and they are all gone!
Not a single parent want's their kid playing in Halton.

Coaches have no clue what they are doing.

did they win tonight

4-4 tie.

Looked bad!

Relax people...relax...

4-4 tie vs Guelph.

The Mega team, what's up?

Maybe other teams have gotten better and this team of talent and no coaching is Doooooom.

Seriously? WHat happened to all the BS about Halton being the team to beat this year? You tied Guelph???!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

OMG. Run everyone....the juggernaut from Halton is coming.

That's Hilarious again the bottom 2 team tie....Big improvments

We know championship teams are not won in tryouts. But KR and CM talked the talk and this team is a bit better then last season. That's it!

The team is what it is. Now it's up to the coach's to work their magic. Nobody has faith they can get the job done. With no experience as head coach's the odds are more than stacked against them. This team was supposed to win with no coaching.

According to another thread, STA beat NF 9-2 the other night; isn't that how a game between prospective "top" team & a prospective "bottom" team should go? I guess this means HH & GS will be fighting tooth & nail for that SCTA 2-3 spot come season's end!

My guess is that both have improved somewhat and will battle for somewhere around the middle in standings.

And now with the tongue out of my cheek, they will battling to get OUT of the 'A' pool, not IN.

I can't believe the dream is already over. It's still APril and already the promised dream team has crumbled. If this group was (as promised ad naseum) at the top end of the SCTA, you would have arranged an exhibition game against a top team.

I knew you were nowhere near as good as all teh hype, but I must say, this is worse than i expected.

I think the cut they made last night was a bad decision. kid looked good.

2 bad cuts last night!

I think the best part will be when Rapp gets his F1 and the rest decide to leave the 2 coaches will scramble looking for players.

We all know Merc and Rapp will get the F1's.

HH exec have no balls to stand up to a player.

Tell me the one time they held a player back!

Who were the two bad cuts?

both were Milton players

Milton team should of just went AAA. Everybody wants their players.

TG and JS

Who is JS?

Oh my bad, he went to Guelph. Other player was KK. Easy cuts! TG might make Guelph though.

TG declined.

JS did not go to Guelph. LB, RM and BM are in Guelph.

TG declined what?

TG and KK were both better then a few players that were signed.

Maybe if they had walked in with a AAA coat on they might have had a shot.

Coaches didn't do any homework on any returning players.

This group is not as good as they were years ago

Still a few solid players but the bottom end returning players are just not that good!

It's official, Rapp, Mercer and the twins are gone with F1's in hand. HH coaches are scrambling.

I knew this was going to happen!

HH no back bone.

is that true... rapp, mercer and twins got F1s

Where are the twins going?

TRW

Wow, I thought daddy twin and former coach RR were bringing everyone back. Now they leave. Hmmmmm, going to open up the door.

they have already signed so why all the fuss

Exactly why all the fuss, whether they signed or not won't make a difference.

signed where - with Halton or Red Wings

why do people stir things up for what?

Apparently daddy is disliked by many.

These coffee time coach's are going to look back at this year and wonder what the hell they were doing here in the first place??
I can't beleive I signed up for this, so I got nobody to blame but myself.
This is the last time I will post on here.

Red Wings surely don't need the twins. Full on imports and free rides all taken up lol. SK smarter than to take his kids to the gong sorry I mean goon show.

I know all the returning parents are not happy at all!!!

The Coach is away at Del Boca Vista during tryouts.

The Asst Coach is signing players while the "Head Caoch" is on vacation at tryouts!

This team will be the same as the previous 4 years when the season starts.

Full of import cast offs.

It was the wrong move to put these two young guys in chrage at the Min. Midget age group.

you are so right!!!!

Team was picked months ago, tryouts were a formality, so why should a coach blow a vacation he purchased a long time ago. No point. He did what was right considering the team was already established.
Piss off and leave him and the team alone.

You are wrong!

There were still spots available at tryouts.

Not everyone showed up and the Asst Coach started offering spots.

These guys have never had to deal with an entire team that wants out.

95 all wanted to stay
96 most wanted to stay
97 all want out

What ever your view is on the 97 parent group this is a different dynamic that the young coaches have yet to deal with.

This team will look different to start the season.

Head coach had no input in selections anyway. There is a parent grand pupeteer pulling all the strings.

Oh ya? And who is that?

I don't know his name.

I see...mystery man

All I know is that you better hope Buffalo doesn't get into the SCTA. If they do, you are going to finish 11th!

Lol. Ok bud

Heard from reliable source that OHF has had complaints regarding recruitment/tampering by Brampton, Halton, Oakville, Hamilton and STA. Investigations are now underway. This could get ugly.

who are the goalies?

LB,SS, MC

Lol 449

CR from JRC make the goalie cut?

Yes he did

Hahahahaha

thius super duper team that will rule the sctas took a few cuts from other teams. the team will be bottom 3

4:49 posted the same bs on about 10 different thresads.

Give it some time and the team will start to split up as to the noise. It's actually happening and some are heading back to GTHL.

Why are you acting surprised??? These coach's are so green, the executive should be relieved of their duties due to incompetence. They have no business coaching at this level and you can already their inexperience shining through. Won't even mention the vacation dumna$$ took. Optics buddy, optics. You'll learn that when you get a little older.

Halton will finish 1st. You read it here first.

a team that picks up players cut from teams ranked below them cannot improve

Actually I read that somewhere else first. Nice try though. Obviously your not a coffee drinker because that was posted on the Tim's drive thru window for months now.

Halton will be first!!

The boat has leaks and most will jump back to the GTHL soon.

Halton will be first!!

None of them are impact players anyways.

Your right. First to blow up KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABOOM

These coaches are only 6 years older than the players? No head coach experience? Away during tryouts? Why would any parent want there boy a part of this when the alternatives are so much greater? This whole situation is an accident or can we say suicide waiting to happen. We have got to get out while we can. For thos who are stuck keep fighting, it's in your kids best interest. The executive should be embarrassed to hand over a team with such an important year to two guys that will never get the respect from young athletes. The inmates will be running this place by October.

Cow Penis

The executive...oh please TF had these guys on his MM staff. TF plays the crap out of his son and these clowns did what TF told them to. Then these two become the coach of the MM this year. It's a joke. Why is TF a coach when he is part of the executive? Why are two kids allowed to coach a MM team? Why do these two take imports but won't release players they want?

Ummmm, maybe because they actually know what they're doing & they're trying to build the best team possible?

U r an idiot. These two morons have NO clue. Do they take vacations during SCTAs to? Cause they do during Tryouts. Lol they know what they're doing...

tic toc tic toc
Is this team going to stay together or is most going back to the GTHL?

little late for that

kaboooooom

tomorrow is cut off on signing the OMHA card. tic toc....

dude... relax... team is signed... and tomorrow is not the cutoff

AR released!

And still gets free crulliers on Saturday's. Wonder about the twins whene they will?

So who got releases?

AR?
Twins?
BM?
MM?

no one

but the twin, AR and MM are not playing in halton

they may not be playing Halton but their not getting their release

NO ONE GETTING RELEASED...NO ONE HAS BEEN RELEASED..

CR wants to leave too and has not signed.

CR will enjoy playing with MM, he is a very supportive teammate and he never lets in a bad goal

CR is NOT that good! He was better when he left 3 seasons ago. Not sure what AAA team would even want him. Guess coach told him the better goalie will play 80% and RR was smart enough to figure out who that was.

Agreed with previous post about MM. Not a great team player at all. Cried like a baby when he played bad. Kid quit a few times in the middle of a game. Fact remains though,he's twice the goalie CR is.

MM's behaviour & work ethic will catch up to him this year, kids & coaches won't put up with it anymore

Players won't put up with these coaches.

They are not coaches! Coaches actually have experience! Coaching with TF does not count.

CR is a good kid, just not a very good goalie. Dad gets him on teams through contacts. MM better but moody and temperamental. bad teammate.

Sounds like it will be an interesting year!

Will get more interesting in coming days as team has still not signed key players and Association is being exposed for breaking rules.

Breaking rules? Oh please tell us the rules Halton broke. I'm not a big Halton supporter at all, nor am I a fan of first year coaches at Minor Midget. But breaking rules should be looked at the GTHL first!

These so called breaking rules will not be the problem for this team. These coaches will be the problem. You can't have 2 year olds running a team. The parents will chew them up and spit them out.

look at what happened with the 96 team last year..and they were part of their staff..TF thinks these guys can coach..what a joke!

so has everybody signed that was expected to sign or are there still holdouts?

Not everyone who has been forced to sign has done so. Lots of action still pending to support releases. Stay tuned! Justice will prevail.

just curious....but if they receive a release, don't they need releases from other centres before signing in GTHL? Is that likely to happen...

no they do not.....

yes they do... need to go through Brampton as well.

Brampton is full...

Halton release and right to the GTHL. No Brampton required.

No releases necessary. All are staying

No free will on this team. 22 year old non experienced coaches forced kids to play for them. Nice eh! And for what? Brutal, just brutal.

just suck it up and play hockey

the wtins and mm are gone. 100%

I have been down this road. Unless the organization gives in no one is going anywhere. No free will? No kidding. You can try some sort of slippery "we are moving" deal but more than likely the OMHA terms it a "hockey move". Better off to save yourself the aggravation and start playing. Team should be pretty decent and catch the eye of scouts, which is really all anybody cares about next year.

No one is leaving, no one is getting out, no where to go anyway.

You know, no matter how many times you say it, it does not eventually make it true. You can also argue that this is about hometown hockey, but the number of imports signed with halton also makes that statement totally false.

be patient. you'll get out.

Who is actively trying to get out?

team has signed burlington cuts. enough said. team will be ass

Halton signed one burlington cut. Get the fact right

exactly

It appears team is in a little more trouble than epxected. Assoc., served by OHF regarding recruitment involving coaches. This could impact players attempting to get out twins, Rapp etc and likely may also impact current players already signed.

stop with OHF investigation garbage already... Halton, Oakville, STA, every team in the G... ain't happening... go enjoy your summer.

Sorry did happen to Halton. Filed this week.

Heh coach where is your post on what you are going to do about this and the twins not wanting to plays for you.

Looks good on him and association. I hope players get the release. Association is the biggest joke around next to Burlington.

This team will be a mid to good team in this league. The oakville kids they got are good. Twins will stay. Great Goaltending. The "Burlington Cut" was not just cut for his play but off ice involving coach he has potential to be impact player if he works hard in summer

Goaltending is weak link on this team.

The twins will be in the G. Welcome back where you belong.

actually that OHF investigation thing for OR has a grain of truth as well

Tweins signed in Halton. The team is together.

Twins have not signed and above post is accurate team is being challenged by other teams and based on letter received could impact players already on current roster.

Surely they have had a team meeting. Was the roster given then? What kind of a budget are these hot shots demanding? What tournaments are they going to?

You guys are all full of shit!....I'm tired of hearing nothing but bullshit made up by people's theories of what they think they know. The truth is as follows...

1. Appeal made for AR was made by The Rebels org not the individual or the family.
2. The appeal is on the claim that HH tampered with AR (and AR only). No other person, child, player is implicated on that appeal.
3. No other player will become "a free agent" as a result of the Rebels appeal.
4. AR has not received a release or F1 waiver contrary to what several have implied to date. The hearing has not been scheduled nor will it be a pressing issue to do so in a timely fashion.
5. The twins have indeed signed their cards.
6. Contrary to everyone's beliefs that MM has "something up his sleeve" and will be playing for TM in the G this year...think again. The player will be playing HH hockey or simply play for the Hill. Those are his only options.
7....and lastly.....when the dust settles...this team will have all its HH parts playing for HH with a few G players added. It will be a good team to boot.

Thanks for the update from somebody in the know; finally.

Never heard about the MM going to the TM, but thanks for the insight and good luck this season. The team will have some skill with all the talent that had to come back.

Thanks Coach, finally an honest post. So if Rebels made the appeal, one would think there is evidence. Beyond that can confirm from twins they are NOT signed, so coach a little white lie there.

im not the coach, and i didnt put up that other post.. but the twins are signed. I was standing 10 feet away from them when they did sign... so think your little white lie is coming from someone else

bingo!

under the B... 35?

R2

Sorry as their Dad they are not signed with Halton.

Nor has AR signed and Halton is involved with disputing his release.

I am the twins Dad. I've decide to only sign one of them. The other will be playing for Brampton. The reasons will become clear in time.

No.. I am the twins Dad... and they are signed.. I hate it but nothing I can do about it

Sorry boston cream boy "no contract no twins." Looks like one of two teams is where they will be.

Twins likley to play with Sen's, Marlies or JRC. TRW looking to take on the 20th player, but dad knows better.

Who cares, forward kid decent, defence kid belongs in AA, neither kid impact players on any AAA team, including Halton

The coach's don't belong in AAA either. Dumbf#%k's they are. Clueless as they come.

Someone's a little bitter that the twins don't want to go to play for Halton!! Both boys are legit, impact AAA players.

Luke, I am your father.

impact at what, certainly not hockey.

No

Can someone send me a contact and number for the Halton AAA team

http://www.haltonhurricanes.ca/coaches.html

This is by far the worst collection of coaches I have seen.

Then you do not get out much at all do you dip shit.

Yes I do got out to play elsewhere and not with *&^%% piece of shit kid that works the drive thru. Go back to baking cakes.

Heh kid, I hear you are in a little trouble. Looks like more challenges ahead.

this string has gotten really boring

It won't next week with announcements coming

ya.. whatever.. i'm on the edge of my seat
