Jaguars Tryouts

[Guest]

AAA is a joke!  BB is a joke!  9 year olds are a joke!  Usa Hockey is a joke!  The Dvhl, Njyhl, and Ejepl are jokes!  The letters A and B are jokes!  Full ice mites is a joke!  Pure AA minor teams are a joke!

There, did I cover everything?

I hope everyone realizes none of this means anything until the kids hit 14-16 years old and they get to see if they can hang once checking starts. 75% of kids quit hockey once checking begins. The odds of any of these kids playing after they are out of HS is 5% at best. Most kids play club on college or men's league. Parents ruin everything today. Just let the kids have fun and enjoy this. Who cares if a kid is better than yours? Most likely they will be equal or your kid better after puberty, if they are even still playing. Youth sports should be about fun, but it is now big business and parents think they have to keep up with the Jones'. Take if from someone that put 2 kids thru hockey and has 1 left: Relax and enjoy the ride!

Every parent should read what that multiple times over

For those with younger kids, take your kid to a 14u game. You will see some kids already 6 feet tall, looking like grown men. Look at the undersized kids, it looks like they will get killed out there. Which one is your kid going to be?

How quickly it goes from an undersized kid zooming around everyone in mites, and looking at the big slow kids who cant keep up. In just a few years, roles totally switch

Watching 10U Gretzky one thing is clear; the competition is pretty bad. 10U Gretzky parents can fool themselves all they want but the teams we play are not very good. Let's play real competition and all our kids with 8 or more goals would have more like 1, 2 or even 0 goals. Playing teams that have can't change direction going forward and whose D can barely skate backwards is not competition.  You can act like we are awesome but since we play A & not AA, we are a joke to other rinks. I just sit quietly an laugh at the clueless parents that think we are so awesome. We are not! Better enjoy this year, because when BB forces the Igloo to play AA next year, we are going to get destroyed. It will be full ice mites are over again! So much talent under the age of 12 at other rinks compared to ours. The future is bright, ever where but Igloo!

Let's see how this weekend goes. Both teams Igloo 10U Gretzky play are pretty good for our division, that is saying something as division is not very good. . As far as 12U Lemiuex Black, does not matter. Team is what it is- Low A and nothing more

Why dont you just tell your team that face to face instead of posting as a guest on a forum if you feel that strongly about it?

What do you think about the 16U Lemieux Igloo Jags?

[Guest]

I don't think any Lemiuex level team is good. The AHF A level and below is a joke because of AA Pure.  BB is ruining hcokey!

[Guest]

Flyers Elite must be pissed that Igloo sucks so bad. We are FE feeder rink. We are probably feeder rink because district requires it, BB owns both rinks and Pennsauken does not have Tier II programs.  FE has no choice but to recruit talent from other rinks because we have no talent left at Igloo!

Well that did not go well. 10U 0-2 against a team that had some talent. Come back in game 2 showed grit. We are just so overrated in a weak, weak level. Hope parents stop their bragging!
