Tier Tryouts

[glilv]

3 kids from the AA Bears (Bantam) got recruited for prep schools on the east coast. There's a ton of high caliber players playing AA. Peter Torsson held a camp last season for prep school and had a few coaches at the camp. Every top level coach says the same thing. If you're good enough, they'll find you. AND, every parent thinks their kid is better than he actually is.

Only 2 kids are going.  The last season prep school weekend hosted by the Bears brought in many coaches from a number of east coast prep schools.

Guilty!  When a parent tells me what a good game my son had, I usually think, what game were you watching?  Too much the critic.  It is easy from the bleachers.

It's important to be proactive.

There are so many opportunities and options out there. Figure out what you want to do and then be proactive and go for it!

I quote Little X..  "It's not as easy as it looks Mom.."

Now that try outs are over...hope everyone made the teams they wanted to. Heard there was a lot of movement from OC, Wave and Kings. Wish the best to everyone.

OC only added 2 kids from outside the club.  The core stayed in tact.

All 03 teams

Ducks1 is all 03 and strong... just ask Crash
Bears I hear are really good.
OC 1 is all 03
OC2 and Ducks 2 are mixed 03/04
Wave was not able to keep very many from Crash's wave 3 team so not expecting much there.


Thats all I know.

[Pistonkev]

GSE had an 03 team last year, so did Sharks.

[orangecone]

Wademan OC added 4 Players. Didn't lose any of their top players from a basically all 03 team. They are all 03s. Last season they had 02's. Should be a decent , big, physical club.

Bears will be the team to beat, picked up some talent from the Wave  .. Ducks 03 have some talent but that team will have a tough time with chemistry esp in the locker room.. #misfits

Here's what I know...

Bears Bantam AA - lost one of their 04 player to Wada's Bantam AA 04.

Wave Bantam AA - Core from last yr's championship run mainly intact. Picked up one 04 player from last yr's OCHC PWAA, one good 04 player from Bears, another 04 from JrDucks2, lost one player to Kings and lost a good one to Flyers. Picked up a few other players from elsewhere as well (1 PWAAA IIRC). This is a mostly 04 group and roster may not be completely set yet.

Empire Bantam AA Hamacher - Mainly 03 group. Lost 2 good 03 players but added 2 strong 04's from last yr's OC Peewee AA team and added another from Bears. Hamacher's team brings it every year and this year will be no different.

OCHC Bantam AA Bickley - Lost 3 04 players from last yr's PWAA team to Empire and Wave, lost two 05's from last yr due to age. Picked up 5-6 03's and a 04 goalie from last yr's Calder Wave team.
