You can’t be bothered explaining this to a bunch of AA parents who’ve barely watched AAA hockey. They’re commenting because they think they finally have a weighted opinion after years of FOMO.Guest wrote: ↑Mon Apr 14, 2025 2:26 pmVery Nice! but completely irrelevant.Guest wrote: ↑Mon Apr 14, 2025 2:04 pm A beautiful poem to summarize this season.
2009 AA Player Gets Selected over Dozens of AAA players
He laced ’em up at crack of dawn
While others yawned, he skated on
No prep school name, no sponsor bag
Just busted wheels and hand-me-down swag
Double A, yeah that’s the tier
Where dreams go die? Not over here
He toe-dragged kids into the dust
Snapped twigs, broke ankles, left ’em crushed
The scouts said nah, he said bet
They watched one shift, now they regret
He made that draft board eat its words
While coaches whispered he’s absurd
Now he’s OHL, prime-time ice
Still taping sticks and paying price
From loser rooms to locker fame
The AA kid just changed the game
And listen up, I’ll spit one truth
He wasn’t even best in the youth
The real one chopped like deli meat
Weiner should’ve had that draft seat
There are at least 500 AAA players that are currently better on every faucet of the game with a much higher trajectory for the next level then the AA player that was drafted. There are at least another 500 AA players that are currently better with a higher trajectory for the next level. This pick was a mockery of the draft.
I’m sure the kid is a very good AA player( although I heard he’s not even the best player on his team), but scoring a bunch of goals in AA doesn’t translate to AAA. Anyone with any kind of real AAA experience knows this.
