Flyers Elite

The rumor mill doesn't sound good for DV. Rumor is only A & B with no American or National.

[Guest]

That is untrue. There are plenty of teams to play AA.

Hope you are right, I really don't think you are. Way too many organizations leaving to have a competitive AA

Kids don't care about competition the parents do so they can post on facebook their kid is AA or AAA. The DVHL will be fine with their AA level.

I beg to differ, while some of the kids on my sons U16 A team didn't  a majority actually did care about the competition of the games. They hated playing the bottom teams that they'd beat by 6+ goals. On the other hand the loved when they would be in a tournament and have to play AA teams playing down thanks to covid, they won 1 of the 4. They also went into "the meaningless" consolation games wanting to show something. My son is a goalie and only wanted to goalie against the top half of the division for the competition.

If your kid doesn't care about competition he may be in the wrong sport I can't imagine a 14u or older not wanting to win and if you're not going to compete for the puck at that age you're going to get injured.  I think the DVHL will be fine with some orgs at some ages for AA.  The problem will be there will only be 2 or 3 that are competitive.  Look at the 16 and 18u teams, who will be at the top, Delco, Quakers, Genesis, can't think of a solid roster after that.

Kids go to the rink to tryout and they get put where the politically motivated dad coaches put them. They have no say what team they play on. Kids on higher level teams expect to win and don't want to lose. Kids on lower level teams just hope to win something. Mom and dad however expect their kids regardless of their competitive level to be on the best team and are angry when they aren't.

I don't care if my kids team finishes first or last. The only thing I care about is good coaching, my kids getting better and most importantly that my kids have fun. Once the fun is gone, so is the kid!

I'm going to guess your kids still play at a level where everyone makes a team and daddy coaches are all you have?  At the older levels there are cuts, kids who don't want to compete don't make a team.  Most of the AA coaches are non-parent, the A coaches are a mix, but there are no kids on the ice because their parents want them there, the kid has to want to be there.

So where did all the Kids from the 2011 Flyers Elite go?

Also,
Whats the outcome of the FE 2010 Team and that tryout they had for new kids?
