Anyone remember the DMM super team that walked through this loop for a couple years then went to AA? How did they do? Stop pretending there’s no difference between the 2. Just makes you all sound like idiots, desperate to prop your kids up to a level that most of them simply have never reached.

It's a different game at U10 and U11. Plenty of AA kids end up in select as they age up.

I wouldn't classify former Leaside or FH AA players as the best in AA

So you don’t know them? Leaside kid was the best by a fair margin. FH kid has been top 5 since novice. Pretending otherwise doesn’t make it so.

says who? Leaside only finished above TR (zero wins) so this wonderkid couldn't help his team make the playoffs. who's the one pretending?

Where does it say anywhere that he was on the best team? Bernard must be , couldn’t help his team make the playoffs. Marcel Dionne? Complete trash.

I'm sure they were great AA players, but it doesn't always translate to dominance a level below. There are a number of AAA kids that dropped down to AA and were inconsequential, same with AA kids going down to A. They need some level of talent to play with. Assuming they get to play with some high level A kids and develop some chemistry they'll do great, nobody can skate through an entire team by themselves shift after shift no matter how talented.

They're dropping down for different priorities, hope they have fun playing with friends and that their focus on other priorities pays off for them. They likely don't care near as much about their decision's impact on the division as the people posting do.

They are playing with some of the best in the league last year. They are surrounded by talent.

Fake news. FH will need more than just individual talent. In the moments that matter they've consistently crumbled season after season, as a matter of fact have they ever won anything except for the odd away tournament? Too much turnover/cuts and coaches kid is too small for A hockey. Yes they'll likely be top 3 but they're not going to win it all.
