MT, VR won't make it past the round of 8.

This sounds pretty accurate. Terriers losing 9-0 yesterday’s was eye opening. How. I mean what happened there. They had a full bench.

So strange to me, considering they acquired a handful of AAA kids

No teams in this loop (even the bottom feeders) should be losing by a touchdown or more. Only exception is, 40% of the roster is out, no goalie and played short or had call ups. MB is good, but they ain't that good to beat a team by TD with missed PAT + FG.

some moment of truth games coming:
VR vs. FT (2x)
MT vs. MB (2x)
VR vs. GT
ST vs MR (for final playoff spot)

FT, MB, GTC, VR are my final 4 pick.

Probably the toxic bench. Those coaches yell so much, hard to keep kids at this age confident when they’re constantly being verbally abused. There’s definitely talent on that team, only thing to blame has to be the coaching. They should be jiving as a team by now. I feel sorry for those kids.

I feel sorry for any kids getting yelled at by their coach at any level. Bench behavior really separates who can actually coach and who is in over their head. Look at MB and FT. I have never seen either coach yell at their players. Both teams haven't lost very many games over the last couple seasons. Mistakes are a time to coach. Not yell.

Different styles. As parents you have to know what you’re getting into and what your kid can handle. I personally have no issue with my kid being yelled at and neither does he. Correction in the moment is best.

So u blame their recent performance all on coaching?

Which teams will be breaking up this year and looking for lots of new players?

Yea not sure the blame can all be coaching. There are several hard coaches in this loop and some of those teams are doing well. What’s the difference here

Good question

Safe to say the bottom 5 teams will be looking to make significant changes. With the ohf rule changes you’re going to see more aaa kids moving into the loop who will look at the top 3-4 teams and then the push down from those teams will go the bottom teams. The loop will get stronger next year and that’s a big plus.
