WHat happened to all the excitment inthis forum

Obviously someone complained to the moderator.

Appears it was over comments that break rules on board upon further review.

Im from out of town but could be moving to the Whitby area in Sept. My son is a 96 D man and we were wondering if the team has been picked or not? If not when are try outs?

If you are on N54 already, stupid enough to ask for advice, please move to Oshawa instead.

Person had a legitimate question. Better than some of the stuff that was on here yesterday. Player bashing, coach bashing, bashing of WMHA and I think I even read about a woman sleeping around on a minor hockey board.

the whore sleeps with everyone

Does that include you? Very classy. Obviously you do not know this woman. She is not what you are describing at all. Talk hockey and leave it alone. Amazing what jealousy does to some idiots.

like throwing a hot dog down a tunnel

Ask TC, he would know if the hot dog in tunnel is true. Thats if you are referring to LC.

i am

fuckin whore

Pretty bold statement. Do you have proof.

yep

You obviously didnt get what you wanted from her but it appears others did.

everybody gets what they want

Shes definately a loose cannon.

Im the person who posted about moving to Whitby in September. Any help as to how I can get info on the 96 midget team would be grateful. We will be coming from East coast so i really know nothing about the Whitby situation. Thanks.

July 28 2012, 9:18 AM One of the most arrogant women I have come across. Shes produced some pretty good hockey and lacrosse players though.

Someone is really unhappy in their life to have a negative obsession.

Contact the Whitby Minor hockey association. Information will be on their website.

July 28 2012, 12:56 PM 
For sure. Find another hole to fill. Lots of them out there.

Im the east coast guy, thanks for leading me to site. I see the midget team has yet to select a coach. Any reason?

Yes, selected coach just got a junior coaching job so they are looking for a replacement.

Was on here a few days ago and Iswear there was much more on here. LC, is that the lady who works at the fury games?

This will be a good team to coach. Should have lots of good skaters. My boy played on team last year but is to old to play this year.

Season long over and one idiot talking to herself.

Any word on what goalies are returning

Thomas says he is taking a year off but they may try and make a trade for Luongo. His contract is the issue. They could also take a run at Bernier. Having said that, if the 2 95's come back, they will be ok and a trade will not be needed.

7:11 You have some big balls. On here complaining about somoeone else being on here. Get a life you loser.

Any word on new coach

Nobody wants the job !!

Nine candidates and some very good ones!

Nine.Thats a lot. Be some parents biting their nails as politics wont be a big factor this year.

is there any of the coaches from the minor midget team interested?

We do not need any parent coaches leave the politics out of it and pick the best kids to be on this team

What a dumb post. You say the best kid for the job then you mention the candidate must be a none parent. The coaching job goes to the best candidate. Parent or non parent shouldn't really matter.

Parent coaches pick all their buddys kids which most time means they should not be on team

So why dont you apply then? Or are you a whining parent.

Whining parent.

ask yse'96
First year without a parent coach = worst record ever. Barely made it to ohf's.

So by virtue of your superb deductive reasoning this was THE reason for the sub-par results? Brilliant I say, just brilliant!

No, just going by the stats of the two coaches. Do you think it was a coincidence?

To small a sample size and not enough information to make conclusions.

Rosters the same? Like players have similiar seasons stats wise?

Opposition the same? Get the picture?

Sounds like excuses to me. Coaches never pick the same teams. Ask anyone who was involved. Just because its a non parent doesnt make it right just like all parent coaches are not perfect..

So you've just come to the conclusion that there is no conclusion....bravo!

parents more committed to team. fact.
havent seen non-parent coach more committed. ever.
risk about how their player is handled. sure.
many times, parent coaches are replaced by non-parent(usually in B or MM). other parents think its a great idea. then they see the true colours (usually by thanksgiving)
Have to agree with the yse poster. They had a very disappointing MM year based on how they had done every other year.

Saw them play last season and they had fallen off a lot. Heard many parents moaning as well.

YSE didnt give coach another opportunity to coach after the MM year....that should say enough about this non-parent coach.

It actually says nothing. Look around. Very few MM coaches move onto Midget.

Facts are your friend.

Nobody asked for a friend

Yeah, but most get offered an opportunity to apply for any coaching position in the Association. Nothin for this guy. FRIEND.

Heard rumour todday a couple of the 96 mm coaches will be on bench

who cares about rumors, we want our friend back, the facts man

TC is new coach. LC is manager.

No, I heard BT is the coach, dont know who is manager.

Agree with previous poster, heard BT is coach for sure and SL will be an assistant, surprise surprise.

who is BT, where is he from

If you don't know, you're not one of his buddies, you aren't making the team so don't worry.

Was hoping for a non parent. Let the games begin.

Will BT take his 2 95 goalies or look for new ones. Is the girl still around

All rumors so far, no facts. If BT has the team than I'm ok with that. He runs his own show and will put together a good supporting cast as he has always done in the past. We have been very happy with him in past years. If he does have the team it would be in his best interest to involve some 95 coaches and possibly some 96 coaches.

I heard last years Central Ontario coaching staff is now our new midget staff. Led by RD.

I heard TC is head coach and LC is also the head coach.

The obsession is back again.

Such a circus.

Its probably one person with an axe to grind making it a circus.

Being that TC and LC are real life lovers it could be a good combination, if this were a house league team. TC is not a AAA coach, too arrogant.

Well why dont you tell him to his face if you dont like his demeanor, coming on here airing your pettiness makes us all look bad.

BT is the head coach, that is confirmed, now stop the insults.

Good response. Our kids are 16/17 years old now so lets grow up. Send them to tryouts and see what happens. This will be a tough team to make for most kids so lets stop making excuses for why our kids won't make this team. Two OMHA champion teams so it tells you that the top kids out of whoever is returning have a good shot. Then you add imports to the picture. It will be tough for even some good AAA players.

And a lot of kids who still have bright futures ahead of them

Hey 8:00am

Years and years of people like you in this age group has made me happy my son has quit hockey this year to work on his education. He wouldnt have made AAA and probably would have been in the lower AA players. Its so immature and cowardly to insult people from behind a keyboard. Wish i knew who you were so I could make sure I never waste another minute of my life communicating with you. Enjoy your season to the rest of the honest people with integrity wherever your son ends up.

I congratulate you for doing the right thing for your son. For the rest, good luck, you will all need it. Don't forget to put your backstabbing life vests on.

1:47pm Quit hockey to work on his education? What was he doing up until now?

Guarranteed that all the time he no longer devotes to hockey will go to studying.

Maybe I should have said to devote more time to school to improve his marks which arent bad to begin with...Sad I need to explain that to you.

Who cares what everyone is doing with there kids. That is completely your business. What gets me is the people that get on here and complain and make excuses about why there kid didn't make the team.
It must be the "politics", the coaches, the coaches buddies, the executive, everyone is out to get me, there is a secret plot to destroy my son.
This is a rarity people, sometimes we just are not good enough. It happens to us all, that is when you parent your son through it.
We all complain about coaches (myself included) and some parents take it to wacky extremes BUT a good majority care about our kids and are quality hockey people. They don't get any compensation for there hours and we still light them up. I know I would never step up and put myself in there shoes for any position on the bench due to the pressure to perform and the parents.

3:02pm I thought you were out of here hypocrite?

The responsible parents ensure their children do very well in school before any extra-curricular activities are attended. Too bad you missed that parenting lesson.

I guess your kids are all AAA elite hockey players and have straight A+ in school

Rumor has it that the Pickering boy who played in the G the last four seasons after been run out of the ETA is back and skating with the Whitby team. PK. Any truth to this. Dad is the short little goof with the pointy shoes

Did not know that Whitby has been skating seeing as they had no coach up until a few days ago

pickering kid? What team did he play for? also, any other kids or imports coming back to whitby?

You whackos will never change,that kid has more talent than you could ever wish your kid ever had.

And has no idea what color the boards are. May live in Ajax not Pickering as previous chat had mentioned. He started out with the Nats this past year and finished with the Red Wings.

how many 95 players will be returning?

Anyone know how LG, from the team is doing. He injured his wrist late last year. Im sure at least 6 to 8 of the kids who played on the mm team last year will be a part of this years team. CC and BM will be gone for sure. EC will get a fair shot with his OHL team. 'think he would be playing tier 2, but it would be nice to see him playing midget.

Who is this Red Wing kid? Serious question as it seems I live in a cave and out of the loop on this one.

All the talk is about 96 kids. There must be numerous 95's available for imports

Any late date 96's or 95's who are going to the nhl draft?

There are 3 that should make it ('96 age) and only 1 95. I dont see an issue as they have played well vs the older boys

Thanks Radar now crawl back in your hole you piece of shit

Hey Stevie boy. How's junior doing? Any bites yet?

I wonder how many 95 and 96 skaters will be at the Fury camp which is starting soon?

Late 96's will have step up come nhl draft. These kids competed with older-usually bigger faster kids for many years. All the best to them.
I'm not sure that they will have much of a problem competing with the 97's come nhl draft time.

how about we just wait and see!

you dont have a choice

Anyone know how many 95 and 96 players will be at Fury camp. I believe it starts this week?

Is it too late to sign up for Midget houseleague?

no, deadline for early registration deadline is Sept. 1

Based on what was in the whitby paper, it doesn't matter how many 95's or 96's that attend the Fury camp, there are few spots if any. They undoubtedly wait for OHL cuts to complete the roster. Looks very good for Midget team.

New Fury coach seems a bit on the egotisitcal side

Thank you 5:18

9:56pm Most of them are....

Coach is listed as BT, who are the AC's? How many 95 and 96's are skating at the Fury training camp?

If BT is coach, SL wont be far behind.

Late Birthdays from 1996 looking good for NHL opportunity! Good luck to all of them.

Good luck to you 3:35...is that your shot at not retiring into poverty?

I have to know who the idiot on here is. Is he/or she for real?

They coached together years ago so I wouldn't be surprised although I heard he wanted not to be involved this year.

Tough to argue. The late birthday players are at a disadvantage for many years. Go get em!

Kudos to all the late birthday kids who play at the level they want. Cheers for them all. God Bless.

wonder who will supply team equipment ?

I would imagine the coach would recommend a good sports store. Woops I think he might know of one lol

My kids late for everything; school, birthday parties....even practices. Its great to see him finally getting some recognition-thanks for your support!

Blades?

Parent coaches generally have more committment to the team; sure they want their kid to do well and progress, but along with that, everyone gets more time for puck on stick. Watch what you wish for!! Great non-paid non-parent coaches are very few in numbers!

Disagree totally, parent coaches are there for there own kids in most cases especially when there kids are lower tier players on a team.

coach owns play it again sports

Parent coaches are totally more committed to the team. FACT!

So what goalies will be coming to tryout. Any contenders coming back from 95 or 96?

thanks coach

Who are the assistant coaches?

yup

One of the biggest complaints about last years 96 AAA coach was a lack of commitment. Non-parent coach. Without coaches, either parent or non-parent, our kids wouldn't have the chance to play. Just hope that your coach is a good one whether he's a parent or not.

Same happened at YSE. Team struggled on the ice. Too few practices...Too little instruction....More concerned on how he looked in the eyes of the Scouts. Too Bad for that team.

YSE had 11 players drafted. Coach did a real poor job indeed. A good coach is a good coach and it has nothing to do with whether or not he has a kid on the team. BT is fine. Just get ready to play a system which will be something completely foreign to most 96 players.

Let's talk numbers. How many drafted 96's will be back and how many 95's should be back? 3 imports spots plus any 95AA kids being considered? If 6 of 8 96's drafted come back plus maybe a few kids, that's a nucleus. add returning 95's including goalies, add the 3 imports which will probably 95's looking to AP with the Fury and the team should be in good shape.

Maybe and maybe not. Get a life.

9:40pm You really want to know?

Ask the coach and he will tell you the exact same thing, it will be decided once tryouts are complete.

No, it will be decided when he figures out how many of his freinds he surrounds himself with.

Well, there you have it then....done! Now fuck off until team is decided.

Our non parent coaches last year were the glue that held the team together, so I am in agreement that parent coaches are usually more committed.

thank you for the words of wisdom now crawl back in you snake hole

Looks like all the nasty parents are out again getting nervous for there kids. BOO HOO poor Johnny didn't make it again this year for the 4th time. He is better than everyone out there, I can't believe it. The coach is only letting his friends kids make the team, another conspiracy. Same shit every year from some of you loser parents and don't think we don't know who you are. You might as well wear bright colours at tryouts cause that's how much you and your boy stick out.

words of wisdom from mega mouth

What are you jealous?

Heard SL and TC will be assistants, meaning their kids will have spots?

As they should!

Both are bubble players for this team

SL will be an assistant so his son will be handed a spot. TC will not be an assistant so his son will have to work for it. Both should be on the team anyways and probably will.

Whitby has enough talent to ice two teams. They would finish one and two. Go Whitby Go!!

Mr I love myself, TC will not be behind the bench. Thank goodness. His girlfriend knows more about the game than he does.

I love reading all the Whitby threads. I myself would never coach or volunteer in Whitby. The srutiny you put yourself and your child under is not worth it. I dont know if there are any parents in Whitby who have anything good to say ever. The teams are successful but the parents never are.

Exactly. It is all about the kids in any case. Players loved the 96 coaching staff and by the way, they were OMHA champs. Case closed.

Yes they were champs with no coaching staff and very average goalies. Good job kids

The goalie hater is back. Wondering where you were. Looks like you are still sore that your kid was never able to crack the lineup. Get over it loser.

The only losers here are all of you here. Get a life.

Sounds good Frank.

8:09
Dumb statement. If kids could win on their own, they would coach themselves and come and go as they want. You need good kids and good coaching to be successful.

Great comment.

As proven in past, all non and non parent coaches were in it for themselves! The team was coached to lose and didn't play the best players that they had. They were doomed from beginning and didn't help that LC was somehow pulling strings for her mediocre player and even worse, boyfriends son! Sad times for theese boys! We All know who is gonna hack it and not! Whitby Minor should have kept tighter reins and played the actual good kids!!!!

And let me guess, one of those good players that got screwed was your son. Well if he was that good, some scout will find him and make sure he plays.

Thanks Fred.

FU

Much speculation about the upcoming season. BT has the team, supporting bench staff is undetermined. Players attending tryouts is yet to be determined.

SL will be on the bench. Take that to the bank. He and BT have told their close friends. Its a done deal.

Wrong again. Makes perfect sense but I heard SL just wants to watch.

Great reading folks. Agree that TC loves TC. And LC loves herself more than TC loves himself. What a great couple they are.

No exclusions tonight; everyone skates? Best case will be just enough players for 4 teams so 60 skaters and 8 goalies on the ice. Realistically 70 skaters and 10-12 goalies-that is dangerously crowded.

Should get a confirmation of bench staff tonight as well.

No you want, its a secret.

won't not want you retard.

Hey 9:44

Tell me something captain obvious, do you just like to hear yourself talkiing here on N54?

Would not want to be in BT's shoes with the imbeciles on here.

You don't talk on N54, you text fuktard.

BT must be grinding 1/2" off skate blades so he can't hear FL pimp his kid.

1116 is the only fuktard on here. Check the mirror, its all over your forehead.

That's funny 12:16. BT must be getting many unrequested scouting reports and excuses why offspring struggled last season by desperate dad's.

how many goalies and who

Bring your has been and see for yourself.

Why do you assume that whenever someone asks about the goalies it has to be a certain person?

?....your not has been's mom/dad?

Nope sorry to disappoint you.

Interesting turn out last night. Looks like all Whitby kids and no imports which is good. Should be a good team.

How many were on the ice? I would imagine most of last years 96 team, and a few of last years midget team as well as the AA 96 team. 50 kids or so?

How many were on the ice? I would imagine most of last years 96 team, and a few of last years midget team as well as the AA 96 team. 50 kids or so?

yes about 50

39 plus 3 goalies

only 3 goalies tried out?

There was 8 goalies there

Should be a very good team. No matter how you cut it. Did coaches yet

What kind of question is that-no I didn't do the coaches!

thats too bad

only 3 real goalies

was both 95AAA goalies there?

all 3 from the sounds of it

Yes all 3 were there. Different pads and sticks.

Relax people it's Midget hockey the dream is dead put it to rest the beer league is only a few years away

Who was the import out there? Good speed

The dream is not over. Any of these kids can make a ton of money playing in europe if they so choose

11:54 put a lid on it SK from AP quit promoting the boy there's a reason why you have not found a spot yet

Any idea how many players it's down to.

You have no clue 12:42, a player must be an impact OHL calibre player to have a career in Europe. There are rare exceptions but to think any of these players could make money in Europe is foolish-its far easier to make the O than to play pro in Europe.

Not true at all, some NCAA kids go there are well as Junior players. Don't believe me look it up.

Lets try to make Midget AAA first.

I am not trying the make Midget AAA.

12:04, some Junior and some NCAA-mostly elite players do play in Europe. That is not any kid on ice at AAA tryouts! Look it up, there are exceptions but most Canadians playing in Europe were drafted to the NHL.
JH was drafted #1 from Whitby to the O a few years back, concussion issues affected his NHL draft and he went to Europe.

Players not drafted to the O are not going to play in Europe for a ton of money as 12:42 posted.

Josh Anderson was not drafted to the O, but did get drafted from London to the NHL this past June. Where does he stand smart guy?

There is no absolute rule.

Yup, it's tryout time again. All the nutbars have now entered the building. I couldn't wait for all you tards to return. Sit back and enjoy this season's drama...

Same with Cory Conacher! Never drafted into the OHL, but this past season named Rookie-of-the-year in the AHL with the champion Norfolk Admirals after a stellar NCAA career.

You telling me this speedster couldn't play in Europe?

Fucking dumbass!

....or how about Mark Jankowski who was a first round pick of the Calgary Flames also this past June, going to Providence now....couldn't eventually play in Europe? Never drafted into the O!

Claude Giroux also never drafted into the O, he's pretty good. LOL

google exceptions....new words are tricky.

So you agree (are) the poster that said all the players at tryouts can make a ton of money in Europe?

Look at last season's rosters, how many of the Canadian's in Europe weren't drafted to the NHL?...let alone the O etc? It is highly unlikely 1 of the kids skating at tryouts will ever be paid to play hockey; that is reality.

Look at the last 10 years' OHL draft picks and you will also realize most (the VAST majority) will also never earn a dime playing this game.

Where does that leave us?

Wiping each others asses for entertainment instead of spewing out the crap on here.

I thought hockey was supposed to be for my son's enjoyment? His fun? What was I thinking? It should have been all about my ego. Oh my did I get it wrong.

Everybody looked rusty last night. Hopefully better tomorrow.

Go ahead jackass try to ignore me, I will hound your sorry ass all year. Go ahead and keep commenting on our kids. You my friend are a tard.

12:42 AM
"The dream is not over. Any of these kids can make a ton of money playing in europe if they so choose"

Looks like a tard in denial to me

I agree with that statement. But really, who cares, someday soon his world will come tumbling down, hard.

Im hoping my son makes the team But Im hoping I dont have to hang out with all you nutbars who are on this site. Not as many 96 kids out trying out as expected.

Is it "Moron Week" on N54?

Major Midget AAA hockey is relatively good AA calibre, folks the train has left the building,save your cash.

And Junior C is better? I don't think so.

then you do not watch much hockey

7:35am You're entitled to your opinion, just alot of people don't share it.

8:55 I agree. What a sad state.

7:35 has an opinion that is based in logic which I think is simply the fact that all the better players have gone
to play Junior of some kind leaving holes open that are filled by AA A and in some cases AE players.
Not say anything is wrong with this however saying that it is equal to Junior A B C D is incorrect because it
simply is not JUNIOR hockey it is MIDGET hockey.

You are missing a couple key points on your conclusion although you do have some valid points. Junior C is the true dead end for players above the midget age. Most players can not play at the next level but are stuck at jr c. Hockey is not bad but goony due to all the older kids that really don't give shit anymore.

Agree but the same could be said for all levels of junior hockey with older players

It is hockey. Plain and simple. Kids playing for enjoyment because they still having fun. Why is that a waste of money??????????? Don't you do anything for fun?

Any sitting of the little elf with the pointy shoes from Ajax and his "corner frieghtened" son?

Very important to 11:03 that lower level Jr be considered higher than Midget hockey? Don't come moping around mid season looking to change teams, that cards been played.

someone comes up with a plausable explanation and you turn the conversation into justifying lower level junior hockey?
let me ask you this
on your midget team roster how many ohl draft picks or ex junior at any level players are there?
now how many players did not play AAA last year?

OHL draft picks would be 4-5. Ex jr players would be zero, which is obvious due to age. AA players from last year, maybe a couple.
On a jr C team you can ask the exact same questions. The fact is both levels are great hockey.

'great' hockey is a stretch. Junior A can be great hockey. Junior B and Midget AAA is good hockey and Junior C is average at best. The reality is that there isn't a single kid that is playing on the Midget AAA team or Junior B or C, that will get a sniff at a paycheck from hockey. There are some that will get a great education out of it, which is a huge accomplishment. Hopefully all, regardless of level, are going to enjoy their season of hockey and come out, loving the game.

Thanks for the positives

Boy, it's really quiet on here considering the fact that AAA tryouts were finished early last night. How does the team look? Any surprises in terms of imports, kids moving up, kids released?

Who's in, who's out?

Your out, I'm in.

All buddies in.

Including the pretenders. Watch out.

No surprises with the final decisions. Its always tough making the last couple choices but all in all looking forward to the year.

Has this team played any ex. games?

What about Steve the "Elf". Did his son make the final team?

...

...

nope

8 1995's and the rest 1996's. Goalies will be awesome, Forwards will be good, D will struggle as I only see 3-4 strong D men back there. The rest need to bring there game up.

95 goalies?

yes

The kids that didn't play in Whitby last year make it?

any 96's that did not play AAA last year

Not sure. Not that familiar with the 96's. The ones I liked were a couple of work horses with some skill up front but small and I liked the one physical D.

GY - how did he get AAA director, guess his kid will make the move this year! Not enough kids to make 3 teams, better get a good pen for all those releases!

Where are kids going to go?
