MC plays against his first decent team of the tournament today 7th place Hutson Hockey. PH and Hutson rosters are pretty evenly matched the only way PH loses this game is if their goaltending falls apart.
You losers care way too much about over priced spring hockey that means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
All of you are the reason why minor hockey is in the state it is in. The costs are way out of hand and only going up. It's not based on talent anymore, it's how much you can spend and who's palms you can grease.
I'm sick of the bull spit cliche that everyone drops that if your kid is talented, they will be discovered. Such a crock of crap. With 1000s of "Elite" "Rep" "High Performance" teams, how the hell can scouts watch all these teams and pick out little no names, when they have to spend time on 1000s of house league kids masquerading as rep level players.
Why can't you just show up and cheer on your kid? And be part of the movement to drive down pricing in hockey and make it more affordable for the average family?
I'd love to have my kid play rep and he could easily make rep but I don't have 6 nights a week and $5000+ to make that a reality.
Then your kid is out. If you can’t do it then he’s out. It’s not everyone else’s fault. You should have waited to have a child until you were financial stable. Spring hockey is part of their development. Playing with the best players against the best players makes your kid better.
The scouts do not care about these tournaments, they care about your kid when he is in his U16 draft year and 2 years after the OHL draft.
If you can’t afford it keep him training at home but don’t talk shit about people who have the money and want to make memories with their children and families.

I can tell just by the way you describe things that you have no clue how rep hockey works. Enjoy house league or the ORHL or whatever horse shit league you're used to.
Reading comprehension is tough for you isn't it, you knuckle dragging idiot!
I know exactly how rep works and the people involved with it. I'm glad I'm away from it. It's people like you that drive the good families away from the sport.
Your kid is going nowhere and nowhere fast but because you pay $10,000 you think he's entitled to something. You are the problem with the sport! You are why summer hockey exists.
You think you are smarter than everyone else but at the end of the day, you are just as stupid cuz you are going NOWHERE with your talentless house league talent player!
You have no idea how rep hockey works. If you did then your kid would be playing rep, at some level. Single A and double A are less than $5,000 a year and he can’t even play that. The fact is that you’re frustrated that your child isn’t a better athlete and will never be the hockey player you desperately wanted him to be. That’s ok, AAA players are the top 5%.
Focus on something your kid is good at and stop getting so angry that he’s not an elite player, it isn’t his fault. In the meantime, enjoy houseleague, the ORHL, or any similar “learn to skate” hockey league that you’re currently in. You can watch the rest of our kids on Livebarn.

You sound angry however if your kid is good and at the rep level there are several programs out there to assist financially. I also wonder why you surf this site and comment if you’re not even apart of this dysfunctional group of people.

Jealousy that’s why. Licking the glass.
Who needs financial help? I got all the money I need, got my wife working 12 hour days.
When we need loans, we get money off her sister. I don’t even need a job.
