My husband has committed our son to move to Ted Reeve next year. I don't think he talked to enough people. I got a bad vibe from the HC. Anyone have any insight? Good team? I know they didn't have a lot of wins this year but HC claims they'll have a much better team next year. I just want a good coach who can help my kid develop after a stagnate season.

A few thoughts on TR. The biggest pro is that the kids and families are great. The arena has a really nice community feel. If you are looking for development for your kid you will not find it here. The HC cannot run a hockey practice which means the players aren't well prepared for games and don't play as a team. The fees are super high because they have to bring in other coaches to run practices which are good development sessions but focus more on individual skills then team building. You need both elements to be successful. The HC can be very critical of the kids and spends more time yelling at them then actually explaining and coaching. There is little to no emphasis on passing, proper positioning, breaks outs and implementing offensive plays. There is this weird fixation around players achieving "results" with not enough support and coaching to the players to help them produce these "results". It seems like for next year they're trying to bring in new players which may help make them be better but with the current coaching it won't fix the lack of focus on team development.

PSA

Run from this 2015 AA team as fast as you can.
Awful coaching. Zero development.
Best kids from last year have already committed to to AAA
or better AA clubs. They developed elsewhere with private skates all season. Nightmare. Zero communication from coaches and even worse hockey IQ on bench.
The clubs record didn’t reflect the kids talent.
But definitely reflected the inexperienced , disorganized coaching staff. I hear they are all back !!Run
