What they are doing now is producing very few competitive teams and they really don't seem to develop the players at all (from what i can see from the outside). I know several people who have been on (several different) teams.there 3-5 years who constantly complain about it. Still not sure why they continue to go back but I almost never hear anything good. True. Preds AAA Tier 1 teams are currently ranked nationally as follows: U18 - 107th out of 127 teams. U16 - 107th out of 123 teams. U15 - 103rd out of 115 teams. 2008 - 79th out of 113 teams 2009 - 77th. I would love to hear from those that have kids on any of these teams and provide some insight as to their level of satisfaction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll echo what others have said on here and what I've heard is that they don't develop the talent, that practices are very unorganized...whatever that means. I guess, in general, those that I've talked to are very unhappy with the practice structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was second-hand though, so take it for what it is worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't deliver what they are selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks even worse when you select “all” not just tier 1, Espically U18. Lowly Pahl teams ranked higher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
