With the upgrades they have coming in on D that may not even matter
Oh really? Ya makes sense, they had one D who should probably be at a different level, small kid who struggled with battles vs us especially in playoffs.
Next year should be fun!
I think you're confusing the defenceman with the goalie.
The MNS goalie was very solid during the year.
He kept them in and stole a few games. I am not sure what happened to him in the playoffs, he is capable of better.
The second goalie is weak, I know because he played on our team for a couple of years and only became dedicated goalie in U9.
The MNS big D pair is very strong and if they are upgrading the rest then I assume they are cutting the small kid who turns over the puck as soon as he touches it, the showboating figure skater and maybe whoever is left. Who did they recruit?

MNS goaltending was obviously the weakest link to the trained eye. Followed by their offense (excluding 19). They had a solid group of defencemen. And superb coaching.

If they are overhauling their defence that's dumb. They have that #9 who is a savage and plays 30 minutes and 15 who has a great slap shot.

They need help for 19 and a goalie
Hearing TW goalie moving to AAA.
GTHL or OMHA? Which team?
Hvs goalie is leaving the loop as well. Not sure where he is headed
Do any teams actually follow this in the playoffs? Or am I being naive?
10.7 – U10 and U11 Teams
(a) Players on U10 and U11 Teams must be provided with Fair and Equal Ice Time in all games, including regular season, playoff, tournament, and exhibition games. “Fair and Equal Ice Time” means ensuring that all players get the same opportunity to contribute to the outcome of all games, regardless of skill or ability. A coach’s responsibility is to develop all players to contribute. Shortening of the bench is not permitted. All players should receive fair and as close to equal as possible ice time, including equal opportunities on special teams.
Organizations are responsible to monitor compliance with this Regulation 10.7(a) by their Team Officials. In turn, Team Officials should be aware that the League will take action where it is determined that there have been violations of this Regulation.
(b) It is recommended that all skaters rotate through all positions to ensure each player has the opportunity to try out each position (forward – LW/C/RW and defence ‐LD/RD) at least once.
(c) It is recommended that all players get a chance to start the game and play end‐of‐game situations.
(d) Where a Team has two registered goaltenders, it is recommended that:
(i) the goaltenders play alternate games or split games to as close to 50/50 as possible;
(ii) the rotation schedule be done in consultation with the goaltender and parents (share games or alternate playing full games); and
(iii) each goaltender plays the final game in an equal number of tournaments;
(iv) the goaltender not participating in a game be permitted to participate as a player.
So your team has made it all the way thru to the middle of April and your complaining about ice time?
