Reading the posts, having watched a bunch of Spring Hockey, having seen the player movement, having a son that played in the G before, I think the SCTA is going to be much stronger this MM season, eclipsing the G as the better loop this year.

Loops for sure improved but lets be real, not nearly enough to be better than the G. BTW im a SCTA parent.

Ha! You have got to be joking, right! SCTA will never be a stronger loop than GTHL or even the Alliance for that matter.

Tournament play will decide everything this season. Wait for it.

yes, wait for it! i think the G and Alliance will be in for a surprise.

thanks JB - how are things in STA?

I don't think that was JB -not long winded, opionated & detailed enough.

There will be 4 scta teams in top 15 this year

Top 20

3 in top 15

Nope!

There were only 2 SCTA teams in the top 20 last year and 96 was a much stronger year. You will probably only see Oakville in the top 20 but they are mostly imports, same as last year.

Wrong. Oakville will be #1 in Ontario...sta halton and brampton all in top 20...

SCTA will be much stronger. Everybody expects Oakville, STA, Brampton to be at the top. That is proabably where it will land. Most improved should be Halton, based on all the GTHL alleged stars coming there way. However, chemistry will be a major problem. There will be some surprises in the league.

You people are really delusional!

I agree, delusional!

Warning , Oakville will come apart by December. RV will blame Dh and parents .
Alliance teams will dominate this season. EMS and LK ..

it will come down to goaltending, wanna be's and the real deals, you figure out which team has which type of goalies.

True. Goaltending will be big. Team defence also very big.

Don't forget buffalo. There will be a 5th team in top 20

Just how much has STA improved this year? I'm hearing they are now set to challenge for first?

Heard wrong. Try again.

Thanks JB for the pre-season anaysis.

Who is JB?

Jim Beam

Jim Beam knows as much about hockey as the JB...

Don't get too cocky sta...

Is Buffalo playing out of Fort Erie? What are their residency rules? Are they eligible for the playoffs? What does that do to the season schedule?

Don't know.

no their games are in buffalo, our association told us to make sure passports are in order

Novice - Sundays @LeisurePlex

Minor Atom - Saturdays @Holiday Twin Rinks

Atom - Sundays @Holiday Twin Rinks

Minor PeeWee - Saturdays @LeisurePlex

PeeWee - Saturdays @ LeisurePlex

Minor Bantam - Saturdays @Holiday Twin Rinks

Bantam - Tuesday @Holiday Twin Rinks

Minor Midget - Fridays @Holiday Twin Rinks

To 9:51 -
Is Buffalo playing out of Fort Erie? - Not in our age group as of now
What are their residency rules? - None, but they promised to play fair. SCTA/OMHA will be monitoring.
Are they eligible for the playoffs? - SCTA Tournament yes, OMHA Tournament no.
What does that do to the season schedule? - Now 40 games (10 opponents, 2 games each home & away) instead of 36.

nice trip on a weekday for grey bruce and guelph ....
wait and see the line ups on the peace bridge
( black friday until christmas , sabre , bills games etc )

Who the hell let them in and who the hell said we wanted to travel to buffalo to play. They want into our league play out of the Fort.

They are playing out of ft erie. Relax.

Again.... not enough ice time in Fort Erie

7:45, they are not playing out of fort erie. That's what they told OMHA to get in all ice is in buffalo.

That's bulls^%$

6:26pm Get your Nexus cards, it's definitely WORTH it!

They wanted in so badly, they should have to play all games on the road.

Assuming they increase the level of play in the league, it's all good.

in the 97 age group all of their good players are going to the U-16 program, apparently 97 team is going to be sh*t

a couple of the age groups will be playing out of fort erie most are in buffalo though.

Off-side rule ? Neck guards ? Goalie throat danglers ? Mouth guards ?
Will they be using OMHA rules in Buffalo ?

i believe the touch up off side has been in effect for a while at the midget age group.

PeeWee and below will play Buffalo in Fort Erie..........Bantam and up will play in Buffalo

novice, mpw and pw in fort erie rest in buffalo

Will Buffalo challenge Halton for second this season?

Halton will be chasing Buffalo and Welland.

Other way around

STA has solid coaching, tough to beat at home, couple of solid new players and the addition of MD make this team a likely second place finisher and if they come up big at home they could challenge Oakville for first.

Hamilton has Oakville's tendy, that gives them someone solid between the pipes for the first time in a long time, that will give the rest of the team confidence and could make them the wildcard this season. If they get on an early roll watch for them to be top three.

Halton will not finish second!!!

Oakville...no reason to fall after pickups for this season.
STA...A few pickups and the team was getting better as the year went on.
Brampton...The team has picked up additional scoring. Just hope you have a healthy goalie all season.
Hamilton...No coaching but tons of talent should carry them to 4th.
Grey Bruce...Hardest working team in the loop along with fairly good coaching.
Halton...Virtually new team, will take some time to come together. Coaching remains a concern.
Buffalo...???

The rest is a crap shoot an really non factor teams in the loop.

Good luck.

Brampton is going to be challenged for second this year. Brampton, Halton, Welland, Buffalo are all going to be very good. Going to be a great year of hockey.

Has the SCTA thought about setting this up for the rest of the teams. This Buffalo thing doesn't seem too well thought out.

July 19, 2012

Dear Buffalo Regal Parent:

As you know, in April 2012 Buffalo Regals Triple A Hockey was unanimously approved to join the South-Central Triple A Hockey League. This provides our players with the opportunity to complete against some of the best triple A teams in Southern Ontario. Of course this also means that travel to and from Canada for practice and league games will increase.

To assist our players and their families with cross border travel, the Buffalo Regals have teamed up with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the NEXUS Niagara initiative to expedite border processing through enrollment in the NEXUS program. NEXUS is a joint program between U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Canada Border Services to expedite the border clearance process for low-risk, pre-approved travelers.

The program allows pre-screened travelers expedited processing through dedicated NEXUS lanes resulting in considerable time savings when crossing the international bridges between Buffalo and Canada. The application fee is $50 for adults, however all children under 18 years of age can apply for free. Your NEXUS card is valid for 5 years.

The Buffalo Regals have worked with the NEXUS Niagara initiative to streamline the approval and interview process for the upcoming season for our players and their families who apply for NEXUS by August 1, 2012. Once you have submitted your application online, please send your names and PASS identification numbers to Mary Kompson [email protected] who will compile a list and coordinate expedited enrollment processing.

Information regarding NEXUS and the application process can be found in the attached brochure or by visiting www.NEXUSNiagara.com, a link to the NEXUS Niagara website can be found on www.buffaloregals.org .

Please consider taking advantage of this opportunity. We are looking forward to an exciting season. See you all on the ice!

Sincerely,



Michael Answeeney
President

The jokers that run the SCTA don't give 2 shits about you crossing the border. You're on your own. Why isn't official news out anywhere? Is there even an SCTA website?

Our coach (minor midget) went to a coaches meeting last week. He confirmed we are in fact playing out of Ft. Erie.

Our association president sent an email to all team coaches listing what ages are playing where and Minor Midget plays Fridays 7:30pm @Holiday Twin Rinks in Buffalo

President Obama sent out a message that we play in Buffalo. Its true, really true. Waiting for Romney's response.

12:24pm

http://www.omha.net/

Romney says " What's Canada?"

His loss....fuck him.

And all you crazy O parents screaming HOMETOWN HOCKEY IS THE BEST - your argument is wearing thin. I 'd much rather travel from downtown Toronto to Mississauga than from Georgetown to Buffalo. Good luck with that! LOL

and as an scta parent I couldnt agree more!!!

Romney knows where Canada is - thats the place he drove to with the dog on his roof! Guess thats how you will know the Regals are in your town.

1:17pm Try the Mississauga to Don Mills trip on a week night in the winter....can you say at least 2 fucking hours if you're lucky?!!?

try the 3 hour anywher to grey-bruce after thanksgiving - particulalry with a bus driver who hasnt a clue and a bunch of drunken parents

So the point is that in every league there are long drives.

Quite the revelation there dickwad.

Quite the insight to recognize that - you arse-dick

Mississauga to don mills is 40 mins with traffic moving, and an hour tops in bad weather. G rules.

All Buffalo home games are split between Holiday Twin Rinks and Leisureplex. Enjoy the drive SCTA'ers.

Where are these two rinks?

buffalo

Leisureplex is Fort Erie.

Toronto Titans tourny - looks like the SCTA teams that faired OK in this is Oakville, Hamilton. Brampton and Burlington didn't do awful but Halton disappointed seeing as they where tooting their horn all summer. The rest did about what was expected.

Our team lost because we have to take all the crap Hamilton dosent want????? Why???? Our kids here can't disappoint us??

Seems that STA did OK also!

3 of final 8 teams. Plus Brampton wuss strong as well. Best league by far even bottom teams like Guelph tied tt and crappy hh tied rebels. Going to be good year

Ha! Not even close to the best league!

Huh, after this weekend I guess we all agree that all the hype of HH was just spew coming from the kid coaches. Wonder when they will post their next comments. HH will not compete with the big boys and the deal that your former goalie dad coach for these so called great imports are G throw aways. Nice homework kids. Slight upgrade is all this team has done.

HH will compete with top teams all year just let them find chemistry

The top 6 teams (OR, B45, STA, HBD, GB, HH) will be there but will give up some games to the rest of the loop. This year will be great to watch hockey.

At least we all agree NFR will be at the bottom again

there are not 6 top teams there are 4, then 4 more, then bottom 3. HH and GB wont be close to top 4, weekends results prove it

758 Thats a good analysis

it is

GB 3 B45 2

BR 5 NFR 0

we play one game bad and now we are in last place. wow i like the predictor really knowledgeable

Is buffalo rink shittier than wellarink or is welland still the worstnd

can someone verify the GB vs Brampton score? does not sound correct

Welland has New Ice and Glass and added a Bar at the East end of the Rink.
Buffalo... are you for fkn real?
Its a shit Hole !!!!

Waste of time allowing them into the SCTA.

8:55 - Game wasn't even played. Think about it; Grey-Bruce coming down in the middle of the week? They play on weekends. Don't believe the schedule on the OMHA website, it's in a state of flux until all the rescheduled games are sorted out.

grey bruce 3 brampton 2

GB does not play during the week only on weekends.

OMHA website is a disaster as it has not been reconciled yet it has been posted.

STA plays Burlington tonite...not Brampton.. as you can see its a Mess.

grey bruce did play brampton last night and won 3-2 check it out youself at intheoradio.com people that were actually at the game

SEPT 19TH - GREY-BRUCE HIGHLANDERS V BRAMPTON 45S
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2012 AT 10:15PM
by Brandon Sudeyko (@intheoradio)


It was the opening game of the season for both teams, as Grey-Bruce has not beaten Brampton in over a year. The pace to the game was very quick and very fast as both teams controlled the play in different fashions. GBH would stick to a strong side attack and the classic ‘dump and chase’ method to try and pin Brampton down low. The 45’s however would respond with their 1-2-2 coverage and utilize their speed and breakout passes to create chances. Both teams had several opportunities to tip the scale in their favour but it was GBH who struck first as the puck came out from behind the net to the stick of Van Ootenghem who was able to slide it by Blacker. Some controversy on the play as the net came off which allowed GBH to take the 1-0 lead in the first, Garrett McFadden with the assist on the play. The game continues on and you can see the speed versus system game begin to shape up. GBH could control the offensively play, pinning Brampton in their end and yet Brampton would seemingly have better breakouts and the better offensive chances. During the 2nd period, a scary moment as after the play was whistled off side, GBH Spencer Elder was carrying the puck and letting up while at the same time Brampton’s Austin Ferguson hit Elder high and he laid on the ice for several minutes. At the start of the third GBH lead 2-1 and quickly Ethan Skinner extended their lead. GBH would try to shutdown any and all Brampton rushes from that point on. Just like Brampton did near the end of the second period, Stevie Mariani from behind the net found Robbie Gisante and it was a one-goal game as GBH lead 3-2. The 45’s continued their pressure but in the end the Highlanders were able to hold off the speed and skill of Brampton to win the first game of the season and end their losing streak to Brampton.

STA 2nd, they got their asses handed to them by Marlies, B45's kept it close

OR
B45's
HBD
STA
GB

rest don't matter

Asses handed to them by the Marlies?????

It was 4-0 Dickwad...not 8-0 !

Marlies scored 15 seconds into the game on a bad giveaway infront of the STA net....
2nd Goal was a 2 on 1 and Strome sniped shelf...
3rd goal Stephens rolled off his check and sniped shelf in tight and they got the 4th on the PP late in the third...
Assess handed to them ? They were one of the better Teams to watch.

It was a very good game and the Marlie Goalie played very very well.

Oh, and the Marlies were done at 3:30 Sat afternoon and STA played a late one at 8:45 and that game ended late.... Not to make excuses for STA, but they looked tired.

STA should have beaten YSE had it not been for the horrific Ref who was continually behind the play and game YSE 5 PP in a row.... and yet they only beat STA 3-2.

STA played poorly in that game but the Marlies were not a Powerhouse...

12:31pm No names dickwad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

12:59 good analogy on your part marlies not a powerhouse yet the wiped the ice with your sorry ass team.

Should have beat YSE if not for the ref, shoulda, woulda, coulda!

And with the style of STA's play 5pp the ref was porbably being nice

1:03 - He was posting a story off another website; totally allowed.

September 20 2012, 1:03 PM - It's a copy and paste of a published report on the game that is readily available online. MORON...the guy didn't write the bloody article. Geeezus, there is a lotta stupid on this site.

b45 not all that, top 10 in ontario not even close maybe op 20, keep inmind they lost to GB and thegb kids also had a 2-3hr drive to get to brampton, imagine what will happen next time when GB kids get proper rest. B45 overated as well as BB.

The rules remain dickwad. If you are going to copy and paste, edit the names for initials....fuck some people are stupid on N54.

You're the same shithead posting on the 97AAA Rangers aren't you?

F U

1:45pm It's still early in the season, lots will change.

Btw, ever try getting from west Mississauga to Don Mills on a weeknight through GTA traffic? At least 2 hours, often times 2.5 hours. Don't complain about fatigue.

Rules???
Who set the Rules? you ?

You are the only Dickwad...

Go next door and get your slutty wife out of your neighbours bed!

September 20 2012, 1:46 PM

1/ NO YOU ARE WRONG (you must hear that a lot I'm sure). I didn't post the article

2/ NO YOU ARE WRONG AGAIN GENIUS, I haven't posted on OR site. I had to post on this link because of your extraordinary mind-numbing stupidity (and I know you've heard that before as well).

It's clearly written where the text was copied from and you expect someone to edit and that it's necessary to edit something posted on a site for anyone to see? You, my tiny little friend (in stature and intellect) are an idiot.

Now, back to making the Pizza's

1:54 Top left....FORUM RULES shiteater!

Forum Rules

Do not be an idiot. That should preclude having to read most of the following, but they follow, just in case.
No names. If you must reference players, parents or coaches, only use initials.
No disparaging kids in any way. Nothing nice to say? Say nothing.
Do not start threads intended to cut up people or organizations.
No player ranking threads.
Keep the signal to noise ratio high. Check if there is a thread on the front page that is on your topic before starting a new one. A few off topic threads will be tolerated, but if the signal to noise ratio on the front page gets too low, these threads will be the first to go.
Keep the pic / music / video threads for Friday. They will be locked on Mondays, and deleted if posted on other days.
Keep pictures posted in line with the N54 terms of service.
If you object to a thread, post a link to it in the moderation forum. Do not whine on a vanilla thread that I may not read.
No "these Organizations / Coaches / Teams / skating instructors / schools are shit" threads. Constructive criticism or review is fine. If you have an opinion state it, don't just malign.

Alright Idiot, let's try and spoon feed you.
Presumably you are referring to Bullet #2?
• No names. If you must reference players, parents or coaches, only use initials.

It clearly states 'IF YOU MUST REFERENCE A PLAYER...'

Let me try again, the person who posted the message WAS NOT REFERENCING A PLAYER' he merely coped and pasted a published article readily available online for anyone to see. Hell, one might argue that altering a published work may infringe on a copyright work (which is inherent under the Laws of Canada. That means you don't have to file for a copyright - Dumbass)

I am very sorry to tell you, that there is NO CURE for stupidity...this is you for as long as you're breathing. Sad isn't it.

And let me repeat to you since your intellect clearly takes you as far as the coffee maker behind the counter at Timmies, once pasted EDIT the names to initials only and Bob's your uncle the poster is on-side save for the copyright infringement that N54 doesn't give a shit about anyway.

Fuck are you stupid!

So genius, using your theory and understanding...if I posted an article by Damien Cox, ooooops I mean DC of the Toronto Star (written at the top of the article), I should then edit the names of the athletes mentioned in his 'published' piece?

Remember, this is a test...please don't make yourself look more stupid (if that's possible)

Per forum rules, if the article discusses minors yes.

Hurry up, the coffee is boiling over and get another batch of timbits over to the counter you retard!

1:47 it does not take 2-2.5hrs to get from miss to don mills, especially at 7pm at night, alsoyes things will change but your are implying that only Brampton will supposingly get better. Do you think maybe GB will also get better?

PV has done a poor job developing kids, ie JS, MS, MC and etc, and has to recuirt new kids every year to compete, which explains replacing 1/2 a team every year. Last night game clearly showed the NEW brampton kids are doing the heavy lifting while kids from past years a fading fast. The sad part of it is that by year end even the NEW brampton kids will have been deprived of development and get worse as the year goes on to a point you will be lucky to have 1-2 kids drafted. It hapened 3 years ago when PV and company coached the MM age group and it has hapened every year since this guy has been coach at he 97 age group. This will be all evident by the year end. Hopefully kids are getting a whole bunch of training on the side.

2:28pm Says you re trip time.

Took me that long on a Sunday in the spring at playoffs time, clearly you have never experienced a jack-knife tractor trailer on the 401 or Don Valley Parking Lot!

2:28pm Coaches don't have as much of an impact as you think on draft pick status.

Last years Minor Midget Oakville Rangers had 6 kids drafted, coaching was terrible.

and yes only miss to don mills have jack nifed tractor trailer, but not the 401 going west to guelph, QEW going to hamilton, niagara welland, st cath., please that is a one off thing. My comment was more directed to b45 being beat by a team that had to travel 2-2.5 hrs to play, (not including jack nifed tractor trailers)

2:31 yes many scouts will not take what the coaches say to heart about a player, but what the kids learn during the year from coaches is a big impact on how they play or are played by the coach.

Minor Midget is no different than any other year in minor hockey.

You want your child to get better? He will need to attend lots of privates, notwithstanding whatever program a team's coaching staff offers, good or bad.

Facts are your friend.

September 20 2012, 2:27 PM - I GIVE !
I am sorry to tell you, dumb is forever.

Right back atcha fucktard!

I really enjoyed watching B45 kids take 2-3 min shifts and the coach not say anything. Reminded me of Tyke hockey except the coach was the dad back then. Not sure what the excuse is here.

Whats your angle, why the hate on for this particular coach?

Brampton looked sloppy in first 2 periods but was the better team in the third. Unfortunately you have to learn to play all 3 periods. I guess we'll see when Brampton heads up to Grey Bruce on Saturday. Developed/not developed, improved/not improved, long drive/short drive, good coach/bad coach - it's the same BS on every thread. It's a LONG season people.

Hey Dumbass at 2:54 (his latest and equally stupid entry).

Here's a new thread that will force you to up your much needed Med's:

http://www.network54.com/Forum/672359/thread/1348167907/last-1348168005/1997+AAA+GTHL+Game+Scouting+Reports

Your right coach should have picked your kid. But at least now hes a AA superstar right?

That's the best you've got Dumb Dumb?
Nothing more about editing out names for initials you 'tard?

I didn't post that dickwad....seek help re obsessive compulsive disorders.

Maybe his kid should have invested in Privates like most bonafide AAA players do and he wouldn't have to come on here and slam coaches, organizations and other players. Its everyones elses fault except his

September 20 2012, 4:03 PM - did you look up the meaning and spelling for that post professor?

Why aren't you editing names out of the thread posted earlier?

Why don't you stop banging your sister, you know it is wrong.....

STA 7 BE 3

September 20 2012, 4:15 PM - The only thing 'WRONG' is you moron. That's why the insults and inability to answer. A cut and paste of a published article is as I've explained and (perhaps) finally got through your thick skull and into the empty cavernous space between your ears

STA 7 - BURLINGTON 3

Games was close for 1st 5 minutes, then STA Blew it open

AT 7-1 ... STA played poorly and the Individualism showed up as well as some sloppy play.

Game ended 7-3.

Games should have been 10-1 STA

7:36 F U

re: 8:07

It was tied 1-1 after the 1st period (yes they played the full regulation time, not just 5 minutes)
STA blew it open in the 2nd with 5 goals in about 5 mins
BE played a much better third winning it 2-1


Overall there is no question that STA is a much better team with more talent. It looked to me like it would have been a much closer game without the brief 2nd period collapse by BE

September 21 2012, 8:46 AM - Good morning Dumb Dumb, you're back. No 'Janitor-ing' today?

In the immortal words of Kevin Bacon in the movie Tremors, I repeat........FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOOOUUUUU!!!!!!

8.07 - Score did not reflect game. STA scored at least 5 goals that should have been stopped. Goalie had a bad night - it happens. Very discouraging to a team that tries hard and was in the game and should have scored a couple more of their own. Eagles more than held their own in the first and third period. STA won it by scoring 5 debatible goals in 5 minutes.

September 21 2012, 9:13 AM - You are a funny guy. Funny because you are obviously an OR parent. You exposed yourself as such in an earlier nonsensical blithering, where you accused me of posting on that thread. You were so opposed and upset by kids being named in scoring summary of a published article...yet, not a word from you regarding the 'scouting report' thread? SUMMARY: Your little Jr must have been mentioned in that tourny report? So I guess it's alright to post the name of your kid in-full if it's done favourably for your ego? Another arrogant. classless, hypocritical OR parent.

Thanks for coming, tip your waitress!

10:18....you realize we out-shot you 42-18 dont you? Not sure at what point past the first 5 min you thought "you were in the game"

10:36am I am not an OR parent.

You really want to continue doing this, really? You call me an idiot and yet you want to continue carrying on this ridiculous back and forth that has no end?

Pot meet kettle.

10:18 i guess it was good that STA actually has a great goalie to make the saves when he needed to

The first goal you scored to tie late in the first period was not a good goal. It came on a long shot that the goalie completely misjudged and was out of position.

As stated outside of 5 minutes when 5 goals were scored it was a close game. Most of your shots were not good quality chances.

You were outscored in the third period also when BE goalie was changed.

September 21 2012, 10:57 AM - I wish it could be 'Foot meet Ass'. To confirm, Yes, you are an idiot.

Cheers, thanks for coming out! LOL

B45 coach (PV) lets the players run the bench...he just stands back and watches...any team success is due to players ability only...good recruiter though...!!

Are you back? BORING. Which coach isnt a recruiter? All I know is we've been to the OMHA's every season hes had the team. I can tell you one thing for certain, the first two years had zero talent save for 1 line and a couple D and a goalie. If anything hes a miracle worker or whichever player runs the bench as you say is.

So if hes a good recruiter then I would assume he would thank you for the compliment.

So we have complaints that he shortens the bench too much, then he lets the players run the bench. Which one is it? Doesnt this contradict?

Then we have complaints that he recruits players. Which coach doesnt?

Is this all you got? Why waste your time and my time reading this? I will never get back that 4 seconds of my life.

All I see is improvement every year and OMHA's every year along with Oakville. Maybe the other 9 SCTA teams should start following his model.

And maybe you should have put your son in privates all along with the rest of them at this level.

Simpleton

STA had 4 breakaways they didn't score on, as well as multiple in tight chances. Not to mention most of STA goals were not bad goals. Shots from the point and scrambles in front of the net. BE goaltending wasn't that bad

C'mon, everyone knows our goalies are our weak spot. They are A at best, we have the Burlington hockey assoc to thank for not being able to make changes to this position. We will need to score minimum 3 goals per game to win/tie.

Recruiting is not allowed and heavy punishment comes down on the one's that get caught. Live in a centre play for that centre, if recruting in minor hockey is allowed to continue it will ruin our sport and the people that play it.

Remind me why we have 2 imports this year & were not allowed to import a goalie?

I think BE are much improved from last year. Game was uncomfortably close in the 1st. BE goalie had a lapse and STA capitalized. If it wasn't for that lapse the game would have been closer unfortunately. BE will not be push overs this year at all.

Did anyone else notice MD the one man show. He will not share the biscuit unless he knows he can get it back. Very disappointing. Heard a scout mention he was a selfish player. If he continues to play like this he will hurt his team, hurt his image and may even get less ice. He's going about impressing the wrong way. Hope he becomes a team player for the team's and his sake.

PV was no different then LP and RS. Recruited and shortened the bench. Again, what team/coach doesn't. Why centre PV for doing it. Ohhh nevermind, he cut your kid.

blah blah blah.

And why would MD change his playing style, always has and always will be a selfish player. Give it time, his me me me attitude will tear this team apart.

We are forgetting that STA won the game. Who cares how

We had a goalie to pick from but GH released him back to Milton AA as to a board member kid in net.

4:00pm - You state "we" when you post all of your "goalie" non sense on any thread involving BE. No one currently associated with this team feels this way. Please don't pass yourself off as part of the team and post your negativity towards the goaltenders.

1:59 - I know there is not a lot of honest talk on this thread and you can take this for what it's worth, but I am a goalie parent and GH was interested in taking my boy. He pleaded with the board when they were making their decision about imports and to his credit, he had some solid arguments/reasons for taking imports. When they came down with the final decision of 2 imports but NO GOALIES, it was clearly because of the '97 goalie parent on the board (for the record, it was his boy that took the shelling last night vs STA). For those that are questioning this, look to see who the "Goalie Mentor" is on the board website:

Again, I know how this website operates (95% BS, 5% truth), so take this for what it's worth. But I'm hoping because I provided some facts, you can take some solace that this is the legitimate answer to your question.

Let me guess your kid is a goalie well mine is one that is
going to have to score more than ever to at least tie a game.

BE get your own thread !

3:35 PM
STA parent?

You got your butts kicked and you are trying to break it down by period and how close it was? Seriously? Has anyone told you we are in MM year yet and you dont have to keep telling your kid the game ended in a tie like you did 8 yrs ago? Beaten behind the wood shed.

Halton 1 Niagara North 0
Brampton 1 Grey Bruce 0

GBH 6 BE 3

post scores here

Goalie talk gets this locked, just like the other one.

Other got locked because it was a duplicate.....get a clue.

where do you buy a clue? is it like the game? please share your wisdom. Also please explain why any 97AAA post that talks about a certain goalie on a certain team gets locked or deleted, just asking.

And we loop back into the conspiracy theories.....

Your tinfoil hat must have slipped off.

Is it tough to understand that duplicate threads get locked?

yeah, after about 170 posts for each, okay goalie dad.

So what - show me one other set of duplicates that are running.

not anymore

WOW, you're fast MOD

The goalie basher freaks when his posts get deleted. He is the same asshole that bashes the marlies as well. Has some very serious mental issues.

Wow, the goalie parents or rather goalie dad seems to think he can control what is written about the chosen one, not really and the truth will play out next spring, he is just not that good.

Someone shit in your cornflakes kid basher?

Halton 5 - Guelph 1

Boy Guelph is just s bad this year as in the past years.

Wed:

Oakville @ Hamilton

Halton @ Brampton

Thur

Hamilton @ STA

way to go scta. 5 of top 11 teams in Ontario are from SCTA with STA at #2

You've played 10 games or less you idiot. Give it time.

3 great games tonight

@SCTAFAN has it right. There are other kids who deserve looks but don't get them because they haven't been pimped over the years by their dads like a certain few in the league, don't have agents who are pimping them now, aren't rich or over 6 feet or have relatives who have played high level hockey and all their connections. But these kids are good and get overlooked. I'm tired of hearing about BB from B45s, MD and CW from STA, Spencer from OR, MS from TM etc. If you read some of the "scouting" reports on players so far I'm sure you had some chukles like me. These guys regurgitate what they've heard over the years and continue to spew it out like its Gospel. Well it isn't. Some of the players do not skate as well as you say, others do not back check or are huge puck hogs, others are bad teammates. But all we hear are the same names and comments since Novice. I think it's time for everyone to actually watch the games and ALL the players not just the chosen ones. These scouting reports are from nerds who live in their mother's basements and most likely never played hockey before. Do some real scouting and find some positives in the other 98% of the players and report on them, not just the 2% we keep hearing about. Anyone can see the positives in the top 2%. No skill or hockey eye is needed for that. But can you actually make up your own minds on the other good players? I say no. It seems like a very closed world for a select few only. So disappointing. i hope you prove me wrong over the season.

From @sctafan...

These guys are real good but may not be on your radar because not pimped, no agent, not 6', not rich, not related to past pro players...

HBD – Saigeon, Smith, Kelly, Fletcher
OR – Kohler, Barwell, Craievich, Capobianco
B45 – Smith, Hill, Mariani
STA – Baird, Celebre, Schoeman, DiFelice
GBH – McFadden, Turnbull, Elder

Here's one of the guys from the scout.ca reporting on the players. Does he look like he's ever played hockey?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQUtDyGQqv0

Responding to 5:oo pm Sept 26th above:

HBD – Saigeon, Smith, Kelly, Fletcher
Saigeon as a 98 is the Real deal...Next year
Smith-Small but a good player & Skates very well at Both ends of the Ice
Kelly - doesnt see the Ice or manage the puck well,poor skater,
Fletcher - Kid crashes and bangs but has very little ability to create

Perhaps...St.Pierre & Staios



OR – Kohler, Barwell, Craievich, Capobianco

All of the Above....

Perhaps Spencer - Plus Mackenzie

B45 – Smith, Hill, Mariani

Smith -Like the HBD..is Just too small..but gifted
Hill - needs to fine tune his defensive game
Mariani - will get looks needs to put on some Muscle


STA – Baird, Celebre, Schoeman, DiFelice

Baird - HE IS 6ft -Poor skater, Ltd ability, hard hitter, needs to develop Self discipline,
Celebre - Small frail, Great skater,makes poor decisions in crucial areas of the Ice
Schoeman - Great Lateral Movement, Has the ability to climb to next level if he grows
DiFelice - Small Player,Good skater & Playmaker, Size and Puck distibution hurt this player

Perhaps - Fox, Bianchi,Cranwell


GBH – McFadden, Turnbull, Elder

Mcfadden - Has been carrying Team last 2 years,If he would only grow to 6'2..Has what it takes
Turnbull - Needs to develop Def side of his game, good skater
Elder - Hard worker but Ltd in ability

No Much else in GB

Certainly these teams have their fair share of solid players. What about other teams? There must be 1 or 2 that we should keep an eye out for. Any thoughts on Halton, BE, Guelph, Niagara....

Halton is only one they will be a top team in this loop as they displayed tonight reslly good group of forwards .

Halton - 2 Players -

Goaltender - McNiven - Size, movement - Attitude - Has the ttl Pkg

Forward - Kreiss -Great Skater - Sees Ice very well- total pkg

N.Falls - Nobody there

N.North - Nobody there

Guelph -

Forward - Poliziani


Burlington - Nobody there

Am I hearing correctly this morning tha Halton beat Brampton yesterday? Can someone post the true score?

2-1 for halton

Brampton needs goal scorers, has only 1 goal scorer on team which is SM. JS has fallen drastically this year, I guess size and lack of development has caught up, just happens to be bad timing going into your MM year.

Oakville at Hamilton - 3 - 3 TIE

NNorth 3 - Guelph 0

What happened to the MIGHTY Brampton and Oakville teams, SCTA still worst loop in 97 age group

I guess Oakville is'nt the big powerhouse everybody says they are. Oakville parents will just have to cough up more cash. Saps.

OR is definately a powerhouse team, this coming from a HBD parent, don't take them lightly!

O.K.

Dirty hit by Oakville #66 last night on HBD player #7. BS is out indefinitely due to a cheap shot. We hope FL files a complaint for the OMHA to investigate.

What about franks from GB. Good puck moving D and a good skater

Yes the hit on Franks from the Brampton dman (ferguson) needs to be reviewed and a suspension would be handed down.

#66 unless he has changed in last few years,is not that type of player to intentionally injure someone.Good kid.

And you all are looking at hockey beyond minor midget? Reconsider folks!!

Why not if the kid still loves the game?

All the kids playing love the game, parents need to be prepared for the injuries incurred. Gets worse next year and folks should be prepared or, reconsider your future plans.

OR#66 known for these types dirty hits. So called superstar has had several hits from behind over the years. No doubt last night hit cross the line.

Halton is a good squad.

Excellent FwD's
Okay D
Solid goalies

The only knock is overall team size.

Should be top 4

9:24am "No doubt?!?" You didn't see it and are commenting? Fuck off.

What does everyone think of #9 Franks from GB?

from the teams i've gone to watch

GUE #71
NFR #98
NN #27
OR #66
BR #97

Bramptonnot looking to good so far this season, lost to GB and won 1-0, then lose to HH 2-1, 1 win, 2 loses with 4 goals in 3 games does not look like a powerhouse team

It is September ding dong. Fuck are you people stupid. LMFAO

I bet those teams that need a win last game of season to make playoffs wish they won one of the easier games in September to avoid being in that situation -- DING DONG!

I bet you need your head examined debating the merits of whther a team is a powerhouse before the first month of the season is even over fucknuts.

Funny, think you could save that same statement for the next knob to call the OR team that?

Then Brampton should not be going around acting and talking like they are the best thing since sliced bread, they are an average 97 team period.

halton will tank shortly

9:59am Give us some examples of how they do that please....

People saying scta is weakest loop are just lying to themselves this may be best loop

10:02, I agree, and I'm not even with your team! Ya, examples please so I can pass this on.

I'm not with that team either, just want to hear first-hand what this joker is talking about....

Well, you haven't received a response in 15 minutes, assume he's trying to figure that one out.

Somebody explain whats going on with Brampton's JS. Ice time? Size? Bad start? Over used?

Maybe just not as good as others think he is, ever think of that?

who cares kid was done since last year, Brampon needs others to step up or it will be a very disapointing season
