Team is set - looking great. Another year where we take it all. No matter where you came from before it is the Marlie stamp that leads to success. Best players in the GTHL.

Holy fuck.

LOL, trying to get the fur flying.

How's the blue line? You lost 2 good ones. Did you get any replacements that are even close to as good?

Marlie's will be just fine, it's ok when you are the best it is easy for everyone else to have a hate on for you.

Nope. The blue line is decidedly weaker. This team (while still very good) will not be as good as last years version.

Where are the twins?

The arrogant attitude on this team has fostered complacency over the years. Others have been working hard to compete have developed the work ethic that will take them well beyond the Marlies players.

Well beyond the 10 players drafted in top 4 rounds every year from the Minor Midget team ?? LOL

how many (real) imports on this team?

it is not arrogance when it is backed by fact

Facts? You haven't played a game yet.

How many imports??????? 10....but ...showing 4? LOL

Ten is light for a typical Marlies team....

team works great as a team, as individual players most top teams can match without a problem. Saw these Marlie players at the OHF camp, nothing special when they were outside their team play.

"10 players drafted in top 4 rounds every year from the Minor Midget team"
And of these extraordinary 10 how many actually get ice time in the OHL. Maybe 1 each year so it's not as great an accomplishment as you portay it to be. The Marlies are overdrafted every year and it shows by how many actually get ice time in the O.

not a marlie parent or lover, but that is pure bullshit.

Agreed. Dude has no idea what they are talking about....

8:47 has a point. hate on this team all you want, but they do produce. And they do that by having a broad and consistent talent on the team, not just one or two superstars that every other team has.

i hea they lost 3 defense? whrere did these d go?

who are the replacements?

lost Cho, K yle C and Con S

where did Cho go

Only lost Cappy. Others back CS got his release and picked up strong D from out of town

Overrated, will struggle to stay on top this year.

Kids that left can and will be easy to replace.

they have already been replaced. Strength of this team is balanced lines. Why the program is so successful. When on top there is no shortage of haters.

So who's on the short list this season to be cut before Nov 15th.

marlies will get asses handed to them this year, been slipping every year

This didnt win every thing last year. Thats slipping for sure

Slipping. Win when it counts. Just another OHF Championship yawn ! Usually a team is judged on a full season. Rebels and Marlies improved throughout the year. VK blew up, and OMHA teams failed to live up to expectations, K-Town and Oakville.

were did the goalies come from for this season ?

Exactly^

r goalies from G or OM

One goalie from Rebs

No goalie came from Rebels. Both Rebels goalies stayed.

One from TRW.

I thougth the big goalie stayed with Red wings?

And CS did not get his release, so where is other dee coming from..?

who cares

TK daddy from Elgin wants to play in Toronto. Daddy upset that inexperienced coach was planted by a defense daddy.

One ex-Rebs goalie from VK

where did cappy go? and why did he leave?

Old old news...cappy went to oakville brainwashed by Strong...

Heard Strong left Oakville - got an OHL gig?

Hmmmm let's think about this Cappy brainwashed comment.

He got the most ice time on the team. And he leaves to go to Oakville. My spidey senses tell me he's had enough of WG and his kid and LS and his kid. Cappy wants to play for a team with NO ties. You play because of your play. Not because your the coaches kid. Cappy will do just fine in Oakville and is now out of the BS in Marlieland. Seven years for WG! Will he even coach again after junior is done?

9:12am There has been some talk that OR money man would be taking his kid to a prep school, so no money no Strong.

you play if your family provides tons of $$ like a golf tourney
and if mom calls coach constantly

Lets Go Blue.

funny grandpa used to kiss LSs ass all the time and say that cappy was upset when chub didnt get points
bye bye retarted grandpa

9:12 Heard wrong! Strong is with OR and staying.

who cares cappy is a very smart hockey player who reads game well above average for his age but he is going nowhere in hockey and his parents believe Strong storyline. This dream wil die hard for mom and dad. Too bad great kid.

The winds of change are blowing, coming in from the EAST

A very big and different year coming up. Those who have relied purely on talent in the past will be passed by those with a better work ethic. Marlies bleed complacency. Other teams and players will step up in MM. I can't wait for September.

Adherence to systems also VERY important. Well coached, disciplined teams can accomplish much.

yes coaching helps in midget. in younger years it is about talent and recruiting. how did wg do so well?

good coach

Team may have lost a few pieces but have picked up a few solid replacements. Tough to always defend as the champs but this team has the experience and the high end talent to make them favourites to do it all again.

You should post that in several threads, so then people will start believing it. Oh wait, you already did. Jackass.

Hung over are you - grumpy old man?

who are you talking about dickwad?

Amazing TM players are good kids considering the mental cases driving them to the rinks.

true dat

losing KS to OR was the best thing that could have happened for the Marlies. Just another greedy user with his hand out constantly saying show me the money...good riddance

....who won, alot!

Just another greedy user with his hand out constantly saying show me the money.....ha ha ha! You just described virtually every AAA coach in the GTHL at every age group. Funny.

WG taking a MA team next year in order to keep his hockey school alive...parents who want a spot have to pay into the system...looks good on ya WG

WG and lots of other guys do exactly the same thing....it is what it is in the G!

Here's a thought: if everyone said F U he wouldn't have a team or a school. Can you people really be that dumb?

Yes. The dream remains strong....

The Marlie97 defense corp lost two players from last years OHF championship team.

who have they brought in to replace them?

No one...

Al MacInnis and Scott Stevens.

did JM from Peterborough make this team again. If he did you must suck

Did your momma drop you on your head once too often when you were a baby? If so, you must be a moron.....

Marlies short two dee at this point and a goalie.

They are more than fine on their D and in their goaltending

1151 is just a marlie wannabe
dumbass pot stirrer

Short = 5' flat

May be on D not the goalies ????

South Central Coyotes have players available....apply within.

NO THANKS

Why???? amazing kids,amazing parents,all AAA calibre.

They have an amazing defenceman that has amazing bank shot of the boards that wants out.

The winds of change are blowing, coming in from the EAST

Marlies must be loving it now that Oakville is the most hated team in the country and not you guys anymore

Are you on both this thread and OR? Fucktard.

We hate all winners - you are both too good, we cant stand that, we gotta make ourselves feel better about ourselves by trying to ripe you down, its all we have in life.

Marlies need a coach.

R U slamming he great WG? He's the best at everything, just ask him. Most arrogant coach/teacher around. Team would draw more talent if his kid and his all mighty arrogance weren't around.

man are u a tool

best team in ontario year in and year out

jealous little wop prick at it again

Won't be this year.

They won't be top for sure.

In the G they will be.

Doubtful

Doubtless

they will be fine

i agree

yep, 3rd place is fine

Dream on dreamers...
Signed Oakville

Marlie parents gotta be loving the fact that Oakville is taking up so much of the conversation ... let's them slip under the radar till early bird. Then we will see who is really the most hated team.

Give it a rest since Oakville is SO money man manipulated! Money has helped ruin hockey faster than East Asian only Immigration could!

And the Marlies aren't all about the money??? What a joke!!! Orgs been buying teams and players faster than anyone else in the country for years. Funny.

4 D is going to hurt this team especially with the coaches son as one of them. They will be a bust at the Titan tourney.

No they won't. They'll be a bust at EVERY tournament.

Ya your right. They shouldnt even register. Whats the point!
Oh maybe those kids like all kids like the game. I guess a bunch of 15 year olds that dont win shouldnt play right.
You sirs are losers.

Marlies are still strong, but peaked at minor bantam. Some of the good kids and families that were cut years back have now developed under other coaches will prove to be a thorn in WGs side. Unfortunately, it's always been easier for them to dispose of kids in favour of the kid who looks good at that moment.

Kudos to the coaches at all levels who have the where with all to see potential, and have the patience to develop kids.

11:05 peaked in minor bantam ? Thought they won Ontario Championships last year. Dumbass !

7:55 pm 21st & 11:05 am 22nd

This org is no different than the Alliance with regard to LJK mess down the 401. The Marlies talent has always been better, however this year Marlies will not be the best, which refers to 11:05 post made today. There are teams off the radar in Ontario who will fair higher in final standings than what we've seen in past years.

1105 is dumbass of the day

1032 Your dense. They are still the favourite to win the tournament.

My dense?

Marlies won't make the finals of the titans tournament.

How can you say anything negative about an organization that keeps producing winnig teams? Ok, so last year the 97's under achieved in tournaments, but who took the GTHL championship? This year's version at a glance appears to be somewhat less stacked than previous years with some shall we say questionable additions that in this poster's humble opinion have not replaced the ones that opted out. But we'll know soon enough.....

Same guy on here year in and year out. Must have been cut in MPW and holds a grudge forever. Pretty sick dude.

How do you know it's the same guy professor?

I'm new and I don't care for the Marlie model either. I don't think this will be there year.

Sorry "their"

The 87 G is a joke so winning it means nothing it is very poor hockey night in night out

i agree 87 was a really crappy year

8:10am You can remember back to 87?!? Wow. LMFAO

1st-MR
2nd-TM
3rd-TT
4th-TRW
5th-JRC
6th-MS
7th-VK
8th-NATS
9th-DMF
10th-MM
11th-M REPS
12th-NYR

4th is a compliment for TRW!!!..ONLY THE GOALIE CAN GET THEM PAST 4TH PLACE!!!

VK 7th???? Lmao

Marlies recruit from all over the province to make up for their lack in coaching.
95's and 96's a monkey coulda coached those teams....oh I forgot one did
97's will have their struggles but the team to watch is the 98's PC has that team finely tuned

You're wrong. Once real hockey started after Peewee for the 96 group, the previous Marlies coach shit the bed. Kept recruiting but results annually got worse and worse until he (DE) was replaced by KS.

Takes a good coach to ensure all the ego's of players and parents can be meshed into winning formula. Not to mention telling agents with selfish interests to screw off.

You know f all.

Marlie jealousy reigns always

DE thought he was recruiting better players but truth was he hurt Marlie org with worse players so he had t be replaced. classic f yup.
WG has people geting players for him. a couple mistakes last year from LS screwed things but they wwere corrected. MS will carry team again as only real high end prospect left in 97.

Marlies being investigating for tampering with Halton defensemen that played for VK last year. Punishment could cost this season. Team is already weak.

YA YOU TELL EM SUPER FUCKTARD

Go cry you trolling fuck. Fuck you and your shit hole marlie fucks.

that's not tampering, that was doing halton a favour

Looks like only 4 D in the Rochester lineup. What's wrong WG can't con anyone to come play for the all mighty Marlies. Thank god he's always had the Marlie name behind him, cause if he was the Reps he would of had tougher times. Look good on the selfish pr!ck!

WG happy as pig in shit with his kid playing all game he loves it and he never really tried to get more d stupid

TT 3rd? hahaha

MR and TM to only teams with broad talent - who cares who is 3-last. Very weak field. Where did allstate boys come from? yup.

TRW right up there. Will be 1 to 3 any given day.

In giving blowjobs perhaps. The dads that is.

TT stands for Trap and Trap. Standing will be deceiving. Boys won't learn much else.

And where are the twins landing this year?

2 team league
Rest is a waste of your money
Why do you think everyone says our loop sucks?

I love the comments from outside GTHL how bad the hockey is in the G. The best hockey and always will be is in the G. That's where all the scouts pay most attention and where most draft picks come from ....

will LS drop his trousers again? Make sure theres no kids around this time please

marlies marlies

2:12pm Bullshit. The top 2-4 teams are good in the G, the bottom 2-4 are brutal and the middle decent.

Take a look at the stats and then you'll understand who gets drafted from where.

You know f all.

Great A tournament your in, guess you need the boys to feel special right now cause when it comes down to regular season you will be going down

Yep

8:56 agree, we're in G, top 4 teams last year were good, bottom 4 should be in AA except a handful of kids, and middle are middling. Should contract to 10 clubs.

marlies marlies

what a joke, an elite team in a tournament with A players at best

Agreed. If they were so good, why would they need to go in this crap tournament?

mm from halton coming?

Why would mm from halton even want to play D on this team. Why do you think they only have 4 D cause nobody is stupid enough to play D on this team. WG is a selfish SOB and ruined his D because he put his kid there. Think again mm you will be sorry

Ruined the D? The best around you fucktard loser.

Why do you think all the D bailed? Think about it for a second.

Won't get the chance to ruin mm. He's going back to Halton.

Thanks for beating the MAKSYMUM STARS (Rochester) in the final. I am sure they enjoyed losing after shooting their mouths off about how they were going to beat you guys.

Its all about the Allstate all Canadians this year and jr of course because hes an all canadian also

Who the f&*k are the maksymum stars? Is that a spring summer team?

Rochester USA.....google it, maybe you'll learn something.

The Maksymum Stars are a bunch of brats who think they are great because they beat a AA team in the semi-finals and thought they would beat the Marlies in the finals.

11:32 REFERRING TO THE SCC IM ASSUMING???..IF SO...YOUR CORRECT.

Nope Richmond Hill Stars

They are a AA Midget team loser!!!!coached by a ex NHLER.

Is there any need to call someone names?

Never it is bad enough playing in a 2 team league ok

6 team league

after shitting the bed last year WG entered a trash tourney to win

Funny how the Maksymum Stars (Rochester U16) AAA team thought they could beat the Marlies.

Any team that goes into a game not believing they can win, whatever calibre should give up the game! What are you new?

judging by the tournament results GTHL is going to be a much tighter league with TT, Rebs & TRW fighting Marlies for top dog. Marlies just don't have it this year they are the underdog.

Who cares! WG got what he wanted, the team and more ice time for his kid. His kid will get drafted and that's a FACT! That's all WG wanted.

I'd hardly call the Marlies an underdog, but I agree there will be 3-4 teams very close at the top.

Good for him. Sorry about your pathetic luck.

Ya, WG's kid will get drafted, so what? He certainly won't be the worst kid drafted and after that, he can go play major midget like most of the rest of the draftees.

Heh it is KS is anyone going to the bar after practise, I will be there early.

I mean LS I get hammered early.

Tell our Koodoo little man boy coach to come up here so I can pull down my pants and let him know what I think.

What tournament did the Marlies beat the Maksyum all stars in

Lay off marlie haters, this team has always been built to win, will do it again this year.

Yah

Any luck getting D for this team?

Sr wants Jr to play at Mich state, daddy can pull some strings there

Good for the boy, wouldn't be the first deal.....

Nothing wrong with that. Jealous?

wa wa onik onik wa wa onik oink wa wa oink oink wa wa oink oink wa wa oink oink wa wa oink oink

WG coaching Tier 2 team next season, wife buying team. Heard it here first.

And you care why?

having watched oakville the marlies have nothing to fear from them.

too funny

September 2 2012, 12:38 PM - absolutely dead on. Oakville will be a joke again this year, as they have for 6 years.

Thanks for your insight DH.

Then please tell us "Who the Marlies should fear"

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooobody

Rebs, JRC, EMC, YSE, Whitby

thanks jrc dad.........bahahhahahahahah......

stephens is on steroids,

I doubt it, seems kinda meek.

your envy is showing....again

no envy, i think he's peaked, guess we'll see soon

Sure WG has to coach a team, where would jr play?

are the Marlies starting to hear footsteps...

Will MM get to play with the Marlies this season?

Even with the Marlies in the wrong, they never, ever lose a case. Something's terribly fishy about that, but be that as it may, MM will likely get his release, and the Marlies forgiven for all evils.

Not a real upgrade. KC for MM. I guess WG can justify playing junior more with that change on the blueline.

one day soon WG will pay for all his sins

No sins really. Just sees his kid in a different light, like many other parents. His kid is bottom end AAA player only and that's being kind WG.

Keep bashing the kid fuctard.
Real tough guy you are.

He's not 10 anymore. At 15 now, he's a young man and will get positives and negatives about his game all year. Relax dude or as you would say fuctard. Comment aove was more about WG over playing his kid. WG should not be coaching this level or this age, if he can't properly assess his kids talent.

10 or 15 years old doesnt matter
you are still a total fucktard and i hope your kid has a good year in A

Is this team as good as last yr marlies 1996?

No. Not even close.

last years Marlies had 5 confirmed imports plus 5+ others who did what they had to do to not be defined as imports. This team only has 5 + 3.

LOL

And still no penalty. You gotta love how there are rules for the majority of the teams, and then special rules for the Marlies. They are a recruiting machine and nothing else. And yet, parents continue to aspire to put their kids on this team. Zero development. Disposable players.

Actually, judging by the multiple draft picks Marlies teams have produced regularly for the OHL and NHL drafts, your claim of no development holds little water.

MM will not play for anyone but HH this year.

Sorry he has been skating with us all summer.

They have produced squat. The kids are very talented to begin with, and they are usually well groomed before they get to the Marlies. They are always looking for the "better" player to add to their roster. If they were about development, they wouldn't drop the talent that they already had so easily. Like most other years, they manage to recruit the best talent by MM.

Another glaring example of rules being blatently broken without punishment. How could he skate without a release? WG's a teacher for crying out loud! I'm pretty sure he's smart enough to know about the rule that is in place prohibiting an import from skating without the proper paperwork.

4:07pm I don't disagree they are a recruiting machine, but to say they have not produced anything is just wrong.

OHL and NHL draft results say otherwise.

You can cry about it all you want but nothing will change.

BASH BASH BASH you do not like WG because he plays his kid a lot and you think his kid is not AAA material. This is how the G works and it has been like that for years. There are problems like this on many other 97 teams. You are not alone.

Past players/parents have made the "move" seamless. This TM team didn't help or show MM how to get out or "move" or get "divorced" properly or in a timely fashion let's just say. For that reason and that reason alone MM will not play for TM this year. It will be HH for him or AA or high school hockey. That's it. Too bad...if you would of gotten divorced or moved few months earlier you woukdve been out by now with no fanfare at all....dumb dumb "move" ..pun intended...

How many 96 Marlies are going to play in the ohl this year, and they were good? I do not know the answer.

All this loser hater can do is keep on hating.
Its over after this year fucktard and up til now they have damn near won everything in site.

Who you going to bash next year?

I don't know; for now, those who don't know site from sight.

that's funny

go fuck yourselve hater

did I spell that right?

drama queen, don't get your panties in a knot, it was funny

not really

No, actually you spelled it incorrectly. It should have been, go fuck yourself.

Why thank you. Likewise.

LOL - 6:18, BURN!

yawn

Where did RL the goalie go from the last few years?

Yes, I can see how you would bore even yourselve, Marliedad.

It certainly is boring beating all of you all of the time I will tell you that.

You mean, watching your son is boring, or is that you on the ice? Although, if you are actually a kid on the team, that would explain your immaturity and inability to spell correctly.

You smug TM parents are in for an awakening this season. The team got bigger, maybe, but the skill level is diminished. Swapping 12 for trw 17???
Are you kidding me?

All jealous fools for years now. Haters cant stop hating.

No longer hating, now loving ... how you're all gonna get knocked off your high horse this year. Long overdue and we are all gonna enjoy it and let you know how much we're loving it.

daddy on bench to put bandaids on baby waaaaaaaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Team looks like a shadow of its former self.

#12 star player on TRW

Why do you say that

Here comes circus mom again go back to the circus everyone is sick of your act

TRW will beat the S@@@ out of this team

TRW couldnt beat eggs
