Waiting see what these tp rosters bring to table. If true wild kids came over for 13uaa team then that team will be very strong. With all the dreamers that went aaa from 2012 and 2013 they just throwing money away. Play as for less the price and better development.

Better development where? You are dreaming if you think 2 hrs a week on ice is good development. AAA is superior in ice time, gym, skills, and video compared to any Tier II offering. Yes price is higher, but ice out the extras individually and you will see Tier 1 is the better bargain. When factoring the added travel the AHF has, then the travel discrepancy of Tier 1 and Tier 2 is significantly narrowed!

I dunno. I definitely understand your point but I can’t help but think that after seeing how many legitimate AAA kids moved to AA this year at 2012 their parents may be on to something. It appears a lot of AAA families were disillusioned with AAA in general and the AY specifically. I question how much actual “development” was actually happening at the AAA level.

In the AY, very little development. Systems, structure and wins is goal. That can all be taught later. Skating, reading plays on your own and creativity before 15u is what makes kids great players. going AA route, paying for skating lessons and skills sessions outside the watchful eye of the systems coaches is what is needed. PHC, JRF, LF win, but do they really develop? My opinion is no!

I was told no development in AAA so went elsewhere
