They never are. Every spring tournament is a joke. It’s only a money grab and you morons fall for it every year

After your embarrassing performance in Philly not shocked you didn’t make it this weekend

USA going to win yet another tournament!

All top players were there along with actual OHL scouts. Glad we did it. I counted 5 so called top players not there for obvious reasons.

I’m an NHL scout and I was there. All scouts watch spring hockey. That’s where the best hockey is played. That’s where we found Crosby, McDavid and Bedard. Every player who’s ever played in the NHL since 2002 has played in this Philly tourney. Can’t wait for every player from this weekend to be playing in the show in the coming years. To all of my fellow scouts, you all did a great job this weekend watching 15 years olds in spring… also Santa was there.

What's your problem. Good opportunity for the kids that were flying under the radar.

Exactly! Great opportunity. Matthews and McDavid’s agent was there. He was salivating and said “sign em all”

It’s called reality. Too much politics keeping the best from competing at the highest levels. That’s why scouts are looking at AA in the G now. Many higher quality players that don’t have the bankrolls to buy positions in AAA. But it’s not like we’ve seen the results of this on our National programme.

I doubt that is true, but for sure a top AA player is better than a low end AAA player.

You would be surprised. Maybe not for the OHL draft but Jr A B teams are looking for kids that will work hard and develop. Too much entitlement in Toronto area AAA and coaches don’t want to deal with the attitude. Wait and see.

Do the math..

135 entries at $525 a registration = $70,825

And + the 2011 division

Not a bad weekend would you say?
