Tier Tryouts

[trans4761]

Good luck to everyone trying out tonight.


From the look of things the JK AAA MINOR team will be AAA in name only.

Agreed! Also find it ironic that the 03 "super team" had to turn to Ducks players to replace their lost players! Taking a former Ducks player who then played in the Wave (3) at A level, Jr Ducks AA players and a pair from San Diego that played Ducks AAA last year. So much for developing your own players!

Anybody know the story with the Gulls AAA Minor team?

[Nowhearthis]

Looks like despite the turmoil the epicenter continues to move into central OC.

[Nowhearthis]

Gulls imports have migrated back north.  Probably best for them to be AA for a year.

that's why they are the super team. they are always improving. those kids are good and it does not matter where they come from. If you look at AAA rosters, kids come from all over. they had a kid from alaska a couple years ago.

Heard 03 AAA Ducks lost two previously committed D's. 2nd tryout at Rinks today in Anaheim at 4:40. Aspiring D's may want to attend?

Kings -03 Team had 5 players leave this year to Academy programs, I think, many more will leave next year. Not sure why they would leave and not stay at least 1 more year. This was a very good team. Someone on this site would know alot more then me, on why ? But this was a very good group of players the past few years.


Not sure how many players they had out at tryouts.

Their core is still fairly intact. Will still be good.

I know two 03 Kings went to Shattuck.  Where did the others go?


Yes, very good team, but not surprising they are starting to leave.  There will be as many or more that leave next year.

JK AAA Bantam Minor will be just fine.  They did lose a bunch of players, at least 8 (3 to the Ducks, 1 to academy, 1 to AA (by choice), 1 from up north not returning, and 2 part time imports won't be back).  That is a lot of turnover for one year.  However, they picked up some quality players and still have some top line players.   They won't be as good as last year, but will likely still be the second best team in the state again this year.

The Wave 3 D who signed with Kings is a an exciting player.


Also the Kings AAA are for the moment going with only one goalie.


Hell would have to freeze over for my kid to ever play for Kings again, but that's another story.

[AstroBuddy]

What happened with the Gulls?  I heard only 10 players showed up to tryout and no goalies

4 to Shattuck, 1 to Delta in BC.

Gulls Bantam AAA minor lost 2 players to Kings AAA, 3 to Ducks AAA and 2 to other AA teams.  They also lost 2 players that were only 05s from last years team.


 I heard they will merge the 2004s and 2003s into one AAA team
