Midget Hockey / Re: what killed this board?
« Last post by Abovetheice on July 03, 2024, 12:36:01 PM »Daddy Coaches, Pay to play, highly political (esp AA and AAA) and a whole lot of aggro/ toxic parents.
My eldest son grew up playing in both the OCHC, Jr, Kings, and Jr. Ducks programs and eventually went back East to play hockey.
My other son started hockey and the politics were so bad, that he removed himself and is now playing high-level travel Lacrosse with much less
politics.
My daughter has gone full-blown with Lacrosse and has never played hockey.
CAHA- the daddy coaches, anger issue coaches, wacko parents, and The Big 3 clubs have made AA-AAA hockey unbearable here.

I don't think Trevor ever had any intentions of fielding an Empire 18AA team. Rather, several of the returning players from the 16AA team that finished 3rd at Nationals last year were pushing for this idea. Since Aiken took the helm of the Ducks 18AAA team and won CAHA seven consecutive years in a row... it's a foregone conclusion that they will win yet again in 2025. Aiken pretty much has the pick of the litter of SoCal 18AAA players. Knowing this, several of the Empire kids tried to convince Trevor to make another run at Nationals at the 18AA level and avoid all the cost/travel of AAA hockey. Trevor, however, held steadfast that he wanted a 18AAA team.

« Last post by B-Real on June 17, 2024, 11:37:02 AM »Gretzky99- Interesting point of view. Maybe that is the case. Or maybe the kids that were chosen (even over other kids that also performed well against National ranked teams) were the sons of the Daddy Coaches or Team Manager, but who knows. Either way, it seems you agree that the selections weren't purely based on talent.
