So we know Rangers getting new coach. Any updates on other teams? Coaches staying or leaving? Player changes?

What's happening with next season? Our coach told us he can't tell us whether he wants us back or not. Couldn't even say whether or not we're on the bubble. This is going to an absolute mess come May if all coaches are acting this way with the new rules in place. Anyone have any advice?

Most teams are simply being more careful until Feb 15th, just wait a week.

Like anything in life I think there’s some truth and some deceit.

My son currently plays in the loop and I’ve reached out to a few coaches as we are looking for a change. One said they were full, another said he’d let me know. So I think it’s interesting that your coach says he doesn’t know. If it’s me I’m taking that with a big grain of salt.

"Being full" is agasint the new rules and could get coach in a lot of trouble. Coaches need to refer everyone to organization website.

Feb 15th is the new date that you can announce coaches for next season. Leagues have been told to crack down on tampering. Whether this happens or not is yet to be seen, but I can tell you that 100% coaches are being more careful than in the past. They have been told by orgs to be careful and keep things on the down low. Be happy your kid still wants to play hockey at U16, and be patient. No rush, they will find their spot.

Issue is kids aren't being told they don't have a spot back and G is telling coaches they can't say anything until tryouts. So with tryouts on the same day(s) it makes it impossible and families will be left scrambling.

Oh... Eagles lost to the Sharks. I'm not sure there's a favorite between Eagles, Sharks and Avs. Any of these teams could win the West and it wouldn't be a surprise.

Predicting Eagles play WM in one semi, while Sharks and Avs will be the series to watch. Impossible to pick a winner.

Do the Panthers really get to play a playoff game??

No they won't, some are quietly having skates and some have quietly already offered spots to other players. After the 15th you'll just see business as usual and skates happening like any other year. You'll have loads of time to figure it out.

Top 6 make playoffs so yes Panthers are a lock. It's pretty tight, I wouldn't be surprised if Avs win the west but still a long shot. Eagles are fav, don't see HVS having enough come playoff time.
