Is 97 part of the core? He told kids at school he's done too.Guest wrote: ↑Sun May 18, 2025 5:04 pmTrue—so *most* of the core will be returning. The point is they'll be right around where they were last year. The VRE player going to NT will be a big help; you should be very happy to have him.Guest wrote: ↑Sat May 17, 2025 6:08 pmCaptain coming to NT. Guess he wasn’t part of the core. Doesn’t matter. We’re happy to have him.Guest wrote: ↑Fri May 16, 2025 9:29 amVRE was already a top team, and will be again next season despite some higher turnover. Core group remains, they'll be no more or less competitive.Guest wrote: ↑Fri May 16, 2025 7:51 am On top teams like SIR, NT, FH and TA, I’m hearing about 2 or maybe 3 changes to the roster for next year. But on VRE turnover is more like 6 or 7 new boys. Are we looking at a possible super-team?

Re: 2010 GTHL A East
Sorry about the MI blowup, but I wouldn't say this is due to open borders. 12 kids went to the other Markham team that plays in the OMHA and another went to another GTHL team. All possible before open borders.Guest wrote: ↑Mon May 19, 2025 9:56 pm10 kids went to the same Waxers BB team (they have two 2010 BB teams)Guest wrote: ↑Tue May 13, 2025 9:48 pm MI still

Why would MI executive$ allow any coach to move laterally to another club with 75% of his entire team.

Re: 2010 GTHL A East
We already know. Top AA kid from FH moving to A - and I mean top from ALL of AA, not just his team. He will dominate the division. Scary part is he isn’t the only one joining the team. This kid wil eat SIR alive.Guest wrote: ↑Wed May 21, 2025 10:54 amI heard that a kid who wore 97 for a high end AA team is going to ….. oooh it’ll be a major move.

Re: 2010 GTHL A East
I’m writing this letter as a concerned parent and member of the 2010 A community who is passionate about the game of hockey and the positive impact it should have on all our children. Over the past seasons, a recurring concern has surfaced among families, players, and even some quiet coaches: the problematic dynamic when parent-coaches consistently place their own children in favorable positions regardless of performance, often to the detriment of team morale and development.
Let’s be blunt—many of these situations involve children who, by most observable standards, struggle to keep up with the pace or skill level of their peers. And yet, they are often given prime ice time, protected from criticism, or even exempt from the accountability expected of others. This creates an unfair playing field, fosters resentment, and sends a damaging message to the rest of the team: merit and effort matter less than personal relationships.
We all understand that hockey is a volunteer-driven sport, and we appreciate the time, energy, and commitment that parent-coaches provide. But with that responsibility comes the need for transparency, fairness, and putting the team’s development first—above individual bias. The goal should always be to nurture all players equally, based on effort, attitude, and skill—not proximity to the coach.
The optics of this issue are hard to ignore, and they undermine the integrity of our sport. We’re not asking for perfection—just fairness. If a player is struggling, let’s coach them up with the same energy we give to any other struggling kid. But let’s also acknowledge when favoritism is affecting the growth of the team and the enjoyment of the game for others.
We respectfully ask the division to consider the following:
Implement anonymous feedback systems where parents and players can safely share concerns about coaching dynamics.
Provide training or guidelines for parent-coaches on how to manage the dual role of coach and parent equitably.
Create oversight or peer-review mechanisms to ensure ice time, positions, and discipline are applied fairly.
Let’s ensure that hockey continues to be a place where hard work, teamwork, and growth are what matter most—and where every player, regardless of whose child they are, has a fair chance to succeed

Re: 2010 GTHL A East
The other kid was the top kid at AA last year. Either way, the 2 of them will be absolutely dominant next year.Guest wrote: ↑Wed May 21, 2025 10:54 amI heard that a kid who wore 97 for a high end AA team is going to ….. oooh it’ll be a major move.
