Tier Tryouts

[rosetta]

Will they play in the major bantam division?

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

[Bones]

They would have to.  2003s could not play down.

Gulls did not have a all 03 team last year, The Bantam AA was 02/03 mix, and there was no A team last year.  To be determined if they have enough kids to form a AA team, and if they do it will be a 03/04 team.

I assumed that was an all 03 team last year. My bad

Hockey Pops -- the "A" WAVE 3 player who signed with AAA Kings is not an A player, and WAVE 3 was not an A team, though we ended up playing the A schedule.


WAVE 3 got pushed down for political crap, which I won't go into, but the players should not be tainted with "A" status going forward.


They were unbeaten in A and went 36-11*-3 in combined A, AA, and AAA competition, notwithstanding some serious injuries, which is a 75% winning rate.


*one loss was a B.S. forfeit we were not allowed to make-up.


I think we will be able to keep about 10 of the boys together. 2 aged out and 1 moved up to SJ.


Sorry to bring all this up to those of you who know the story. Yes we're sick of it too.

[coachbombay]

i agree, the kid is pretty solid.

Looks like Bears will probably have one of the best Bantam AA team in SoCal. They have ben able to recruit/raid/entice three good players from Empire Hockey Club formerly Wave Ontario and Jr. Kings AAA goalie is also rumored to be moving back to Bears. The way it is shaping up Jr. Ducks, courtesy Wave 3 kids moving to Ducks, Bears, as explained above, and Jr. Gulls AAA, if they are smart enough to realize and drop to AA, after losing all four games at Carmen Starr might be the contenders for top flight division in Bantam AA. I am sure there will be 2 or more (Blackhawks, GSE, and may be Sharks) from Bay Area joining top flight division. Does anyone know other teams that are initial favorites to make the top flight division cut for Bantam AA.

Since when did playing A become a taint "should not be tainted with "A" status going forward". I am pretty sure Crush does not speak for any Wave 3 parent and should not try to speak for the team or players that played there. We know families that played on that team and many of them are some the best people you will meet and some others, like any other team, you want to run away from.

Follow the rules and your team could have been AAAA for all anyone cared.


And - as youth hockey is winding down for our family I will add that Crash you are a douche.  You are what is wrong with youth hockey, and youth sports.  Look at you, trashing one of the kids on a team you defended so much last season.  Get a grip man. 

[Crash]

I was referring to all the snotty comments on HERE that were made about Wave 3 last year. Perhaps over subtle for this bunch.


Wave 3 kids are great and the parents are great, and if you actually read my post I said how hard we are working to keep as many of the kids together as possible.


In fact they are playing the Vancouver team for Carmen Starr Bantam AAA Championship tomorrow at Toyota.

And for the record I am really sick of internet heroes who twist other peoples words.

[Landshark]

I wouldn't ever describe you as "over subtle." 


Crash for president.

[Crash]

Post of the day :-)  We who are about to get slaughtered by the Canadians salut you.

[Teemu8]

Isn't there a rule against mass recruitment?  A team can not sign too many kuds coming from the same club/team?
