They lost some depth guys and added a couple of OR kids who the Oakville coaches let walk away because they're mediocre players with giant attitudes....the biggest attitude problems on the Steel are still there.....we added a kid from STA who will definitely be the best player on the team next year, but can anyone get him the puck? He'll leave after one year in this circus.Guest wrote: ↑Fri Jun 13, 2025 9:36 amI thought with open borders it was going to get rid of all the riff raff on the team?Guest wrote: ↑Thu Jun 12, 2025 8:15 pmIt already started after the full team got smoked by Niagara twice in a spring tournament.

Y.o.y will be the same … over and over -
Is it the same families back? Did they not get any new players?
Why is this group still a laughing stock?
No one wants to play in the Hammer?
The biggest problem is that MS may be a good businessman but he's not a hockey coach. The development was non existent last year and as the kids get older and systems get more complex this team will be left even further behind. MS is like having a U10 coach on the bench. I'm not saying he's an asshole, I'm just being real. His hockey knowledge is very limited. A few parents already have side deals in place for playing time (common knowledge) and that doesn't exactly attract top talent either.
If MS stepped aside, hired a LEGIT, non Hamilton, non connected coach, and got rid of 5-6 players who along with their parents are total cancers, this team could be turned around by U15. Fortunately a couple of the worst tumours on the team have the two smallest kids on the team and by the way they've been fading, they'll never last beyond U14 at the most. So natural selection will lend a hand a little bit.
