MNS has a top C, either best in loop or top 3. He’s very fast and very good at evading the defence. When he dekes out the goalie he scores 99% of the time but doesn’t have a good on the go shot. And the best D-man, big, physical, can shoot and very rarely makes mistakes. The other even bigger one is good too and dont let his size fool you he can skate but doesn’t choose to which is a problem. Then they have 4 who thinks this is Disney on Ice he’s got better edges than figure skaters showboats like crazy. They have a couple more forward who can skate but the rest of the team is A or should be. The coach is a miracle worker.

The Beast have their star forward 11 and the big D Peter and one solid goalie. The rest are well coached but there are some weak kids especially the small ones on D who should go to A with the MNS crew. You have to play a short bench especially on D to deny chances to MB forwards who don’t have great shots but are tenacious in front of net. FT do this successfully. MB might be best team on the boards.

The Panthers have the best assembled team but something is off there right now too bad it’s playoff time.

Not agree about MNS defenders, as I don't think that they're very good by league standards, but overall a great feedback. You also didn't mention MNS goalie, who is obviously one of their biggest assets.

What's wrong with Vaughan Rangers? At the beginning of the season I thought that they will be one of the best teams. In my opinion their average level is no worse than in the Beast or MNS and FT. They play well, but sometimes can lose to a random underdog and generally are slightly above average as of now. What are they lacking?

Good question. Any news about upcoming changes next year? Time to b!tch and spread around some fresh rumours. To make it more interesting, only 4 out of every 5 facts below are true.

MNS- keeping 90% of the kids, but waiting if someone from AAA decides to join them
VP- already lost 2-3 kids to bottom end AAA and expect to find cover from VR. Parents are slowly getting frustrated with lack of development.
MB- everyone is happy with everything. The coach is looking to cut 3-5 weakest kids from various positions, keep 11 in the team and add 1-2 very strong kids to the roster.
FT- small changes are possible
VR- super active, looking for kids everywhere from A to AAA in OMHA, trying to attract a new goalie or 2 from AAA, strengthen defence and forwards. Will lose 1-4 kids to either AAA and VP.
TW, ST- under huge risk of being cannibalized by bottom AAA and to 5 AA teams. Will almost certainly loose their top forwards, kids from Jets and A will fill empty spots. It's understandable in case of ST, while kids from TW would benefit if they stay together for another season.
TE- will attract top 4 cuts, if they need them
DD- are searching for ways to improve, but the pool of kids who want to join DD is not huge.
HVS, WML, MJ and MT are not very interesting

Not too many rumours come from the East.
NYK will cut the weakest, NT- stable as usual, SIR and WHGH may get stronger next season.

Everyone is welcome to contribute, add and correct. At the end of the day, we all came here to consume or produce rumours.
