The best team in Ontario is VK. The top players from the best team (VK) aren't there. It's a great experience for everyone attending and lots of great players in Nashville but I wouldn't jump the gun on your draft rankings...lots of very good players didn't go. #didntbookit

TM is officially the Queens of Spring. Five days and $5k later still can’t win. Only one King and they’re black and silver.

Didn’t VQ’s just choke in Europe a few weeks ago?

Choked on the eggplant

There seems to be a significant disconnect between the number of Asian born players that are dominant/very good at the younger ages - particularly pre-puberty ages U13-U15 relative to the number of impactful players in the OHL/OJHL/NCAA etc once the growth curve evens out. Obviously there’s a lot of speculation as to why that is, my kid would look really dominant playing against kids 1-2 years younger too.

In terms of girls playing with boys. I think it’s fine at younger ages for the girls that are clearly ahead of their female peer group. Women/Girl’s hockey has come a long way in the last 5+ years. Once you get to hitting (U14) the girls should cycle back to girl’s hockey as the quality of competition typically has caught up by that point as again the girls are mostly post puberty at that point. Girls playing with boys with hitting is an accident waiting to happen for obvious reasons.

Keeping the girl on the Nats in U15 is stupid on all the adults part
