Dunny Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 It was fun to watch. The D-men were huge kids and she's so small it's comical.

Mike Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Why AA? He's controlling every game with ease. He should be playing with, and against better players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Everything in Sask. is AA until Midget. It's a population thing. There's only 1 million people in the province, and it's a huge area. By keeping it AA (and no minor/major) they get 21 Bantam teams and don't have to travel so much in the 9 months of winter they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At bantam we go AAA but not before then. And our bantam team I think is ranked around 10th in nation. Could be higher but we just don't get the amount of games in like other teams.

Dunny Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 http://panow.com/article/501161/mintos-may-have-found-themselves-beauty-barlage Here's an article on Barlage from when he made his Midget AAA debut as a 13 year old in one of the top 4 or 5 Midget leagues in the world. He played on the top line and scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 kevin, why did you guys cancel Saturday game? Apparently our manager screwed up and didn't realize we had a league game scheduled. Hopefully we still play you guys at your place in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Head Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Just get Kreider to shadow Ovechkin. I could see that leading to 5 minors and one major per game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 School anything is different. Destroy opposing player in club hockey fight, get name in paper many congratulations. Destroy opposing player in HS hockey fight, get suspended, possibly charged with assault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 In 5 years, only leagues with contact will be Bantam and Midget AAA. So you basically have to play AAA to go anywhere. It'll be a sad sad day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphinity 2.0 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Isn't that how it is now, pretty much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Largely. But some kids can't afford AAA, or they can't afford 3 brothers in AAA. I know guys that played in the NHL and played their minor hockey for a "D" program, or even "E" program in Chris Neil's case. What does it do for the lower junior leagues that aren't made up of all AAA grads? No hitting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Head Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 Isn't that how it is now' date=' pretty much?[/quote'] I've kind of found the opposite Kids I had that played a higher level than Division 1 hockey (signed contracts after NCAA), tended to be average 8-15 year olds. Last year at national selects it was told to me his way. (Top 100 14 year olds in country). - only 1/2 these kids will be invited back next season (15 year olds) - only 1/2 of those will be invited back the season after. (16 year olds) - only have of those will be invited back the next national camp (17 year olds) "So....when we truly care about a national team is age 18, and you coaches left 16 of those 20 players back home because they weren't good enough.....get back home and develop everyone" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphinity 2.0 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Right, but the point is that they're all probably playing AAA-level programs. That's what Dunny was saying is going to be the future, but in my experience that's how it is now - anyone who got anywhere played AAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what Dunny was saying is going to be the future, but in my experience that's how it is now - anyone who got anywhere played AAA. Not true. More so in the squirt, pw, and bantam. If you're that developed after bantam, you're pretty much forced to play tier 1 somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even our teams for the most part and create leagues. I'd venture to say that a large portion of players that made it were average up till bantams or so. That's truly only when it matters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Here's a kid I've been keeping my eye on: http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=176256 His sister was my wife's MOH. He's been a slow developer, late round OHL pick, played NOHL (bad) for a year, family moved to Calgary and now he's caught on with Lethbridge after standing out in the AJ. Listed at 6'3 he's close to 6'5 now and his dad is 6'11. Lethbridge loves him and he's playing big minutes for them. Read an article a few weeks ago where the reporter described him like (paraphrase) "Skeoch eats nails and shits lightning". I'm interested because he just started fighting and he destroys everybody here's his fight from 2 nights ago against a guy 3 years older than him: http://www.hockeyfights.com/fights/132329?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter I don't think he's going to get drafted but it'll be interesting to see where he goes. Family is loaded so he's going to be able to take this as far as he can without worrying about real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 First goal for my son today. Breakaway complete with deke. Bench went nuts as 99% of their goals are scored by the same 2 kids lol. Think I'm gonna cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodka Drunkenski Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Nice! I still remember my first goal, on a breakaway as well but I fell into the goalie and the puck went in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
