There is way too much shit gets spewed on here that never gets challenged. Two different things can be correct at the same time. It is absolute BS to say that CRC, formerly B45s, got worse every year since RS took over. When he took over the 2010 group of Brampton 45s, they had won less than 5 games in a season and were a last or second last place team that needed some players and some coaching structure. RS brought in both, such that the newly founded CRC became the best team in the West for 3 straight years. Give the coach credit where credit is due! Has Barrie been tops in the East for 3 straight years yet? It is also true that since getting to the top in the West, RS has not taken them any further, and neither his roster tinkering nor his old school defensive coaching style have helped. That does not make him a rotten coach. He does struggle to score goals against good teams, and has not gotten the most out of his players, be they the "stars" or the supporting staff. Lots of kids and parents would be happy to trade their last 4 years for the CRC/45 last 4.
Spring hopes eternal. In a month, next year's rosters will be set and we will see what happens in the "big" year. Don't be surprised if CRC is tops in the West again. I would bet against that, but I might lose my money! Meantime, relax, talk more hockey and less BS on here and life will be good. BTW, where does all the personal angst on here come from?
lol you’re either a coach or parent of a “top player” with CRC. The team was brought to a point, RS did a great job of taking them out of the basement. The problem is, once they were out, he didn’t know what to do to go further. The issue isn’t the players, they tend to do what they are asked to do. At the end of the day, the coach is the one making the calls, the one who puts the kids on the ice. Unfortunately he gets outcoached during big games and that won’t change next season.
The reason why other teams in the East or GTHL are successful against CRC is cause they play 6 F and 4 D while CRC is rolling 9 and 6. Barrie had 2 D and 2 F that didn't see the ice every 3rd shift. Certain kids went out every 5th of 6th shift. So if you consider that being outcoached then yes he was outcoached. But Barrie COW and most G teams are constantly retooling and changing out massive pieces. RS has managed to keep his core for the entire run. Some.may consider that great coaching.
Haha coach plays 5 kids and it clearly doesn’t work. There is no rolling of lines, sorry dad. The reason we came out with wins against you was because we knew to tire out 1 line and the rest weren’t a problem
The secret is crc not as talented as teams outside west . No coach can over come this
You got fooled by all the wins in the bad west

STA went further in the OMHA’s… who cares about regular season, show up when it counts….
Ladies and gentlemen CRC has a reputation, whether they like it or not. They can win in their league and thats it! Im sure lots of them will say, "oh but we can compete and keep it close with other top teams" yeah well close isn't good enough. Please just be honest with yourselves, as a team your not that good, aside from 2 or 3 kids, the rest of you will be able to say, you played with them. Now lets move onto next season, how are things holding up, are the rumors true, CRC poached a few kids?
