Tyler coaches my spring team.....we like him, he is passionate and full of energy and the kids like him too.

Bakersfield Jr Condors is looking for a few players for its Midget 16U AA team. They looked good at the Valencia tournament last weekend. It sounds like a horrible commute, but they have players from Huntington Beach to the south and Fresno to the north. Great coach in ex pro Glen Mears. Tryouts are Saturday at 5:30pm and Sunday 10AM in Bakersfield. Can't beat the all inclusive team fee either.

Love the article by NOWHEARTHIS earlier on this feed.  Way to many kids trying to play "up" in to the 18U's.  The Ducks 18U team could be close to 50% 16 year olds....what is the point?  As for the wave, I think they will be losing a couple more players as there have been two or more skating at the Ducks 18AA clinics.  I know kids go where they can get a good skate, but when the clinic is the same time as the wave skate and they are at the Ducks, I think it says something.

All that being said, it is likely that a couple Ducks kids from last year will go to the wave.  A couple of them skated with the wave in the memorial day tourney.  The Wave will field a good time regardless.

All I know is Friday night should have some interesting posts once the dust settles.  I think the Kings will have a team as there are players looking for places to play which means there are parents willing to pay the fees. 

IMHO, the Ducks, Wave, OC, and Kings will all have viable 16AA teams once this is all said and done. 

Good luck to all at tryouts tomorrow night.

So what were tryouts like ? OC went well some good skaters....still a few spots left, next skate Sat 320@Yorba.


Heard JK had 7 skaters and 1 goalie...any word on Ducks and Wave?

Ducks took a full team and they look very solid.  Wave lost a couple very good players to ducks 18, but they also picked up a couple very good players from the ducks.


OC should be able to round out their team with a few good players who did not make the ducks.

[coachbombay]

were the wave able to field two teams?

[hipcheck34]

The Wave did field 2 teams.
