Going 3-1 in a AAA weekend, I would say they are going to be good locally.

So far, job well done by the JD 16UAAA club!  So far, they are the cream of the nation!  Great job by Coach Kim and Johnson! They are ploughing through both Tier I and CAHA like a hot knife through butter!

You mean the same Coach Johnson who submitted a hearing request against a Jr King for a game he was not there for, because his precious little boy was knocked over?    Must be nice to have an NHL parent in this league, since that clearly gives your VIP treatment.    Just look at the SCAHA Pre-Selects camp and how political that is for both main teams.   Players with a lot more skill are passed over just to have a familiar name plate... Glad I don’t have to deal with that BS.

So apparently you feel a 16u drafted 3rd overall in USHL draft isn't worthy of moving on beyond SCAHA Pre-Select camp because there are better players that weren't selected?

SCAHA camp is a farce.  Total politics.  There are kids that make it who are crap and there are kids who never make it but are now in Jr's or beyond.


Do not be discouraged if your player isn't "picked."


It's all political BS

Yep. +1

Why is it always "political bs" to the the parents of the kids who don't make it?  The process is what it is.  If you don't like it don't sign up.

[Pulsarhockey]

it is because you always "hope" for fairness and that your kid will be given a "fair" shot, only to see a "few" kids that have no business "making it", or even playing Tier I for that matter....

 For 15+ years it has been BS, if they put the kids out there with #s  only on their jerseys and get some high level scouts to pick the best group, that would change the outcome and would be unbiased. Everyone, including those parents who have had their kids move on know that the process is flawed, yes they get a lot right, but there are some handshakes and winks for others.

16AA Update


Wave1 beats Ducks1 in a shootout to win the Frozen Fairgrounds tournament in Del Mar, CA.  This was a very intense game, could have gone either way, these two teams are very equal but play a totally different style.  Wave is a big physical team and the Ducks are more of finesse speed team.  Playoffs should be great this year!

Looks Like the JD1 got the revenge twice at Best of the West in Vegas....

It's political BS.   Every evaluator has favourite kids.  There is no un-biased opinion.   If kids make it based on skating that day only then the results would be very different.


I've seen kids who had broken bones not on the ice make it.  I've seen kids at school in Minnesota make it.
