fafa fohi Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Any truth to the rumor that U18 AAA Vengeance has less than 20 skaters registered for tryouts? And if 09 folded what is going on over there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyisgreat Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Still have two days till tryouts start! Why give them money any earlier than you have to? Besides I heard they pretty much have who they want through open skates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderbay bombers Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 The 5100 does not include team fee which can vary, but In past one was 750 one year and 850 another so over 6k in end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockey07 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) 20 hours ago, aaaahockey said: This is incorrect. (Sorry my nephew played for them) - they lost one forward who made preds and one is trying out for 08 team. Everyone else is coming back to my knowledge and they are picking up a couple other kids. I would assume if/when the one kid gets cut from 08 tryouts he is back and then the team is basically intact. They had plenty of kids try out though so it's more of a matter of what level they end up being in the long run. Well one of the goalies that just made it for Shaha is at Preds tonight.

Not sure how any goalies made it for shaha since tonight was their final night of tryouts from 8-9 but I can take your word for it. Unless the coach called those who made it and preds had a tryout within 20 minutes I don't know how that would happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t have the depth of even most AA teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockeyville31 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 They also have Euros coming……….stay tuned player depth may not be an issue coupled with their coaching staff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like it or not, most of the Top 10 midget programs that provide the best exposure are doing something similar or are prep schools. It sucks, but just the way it is That’s IF Mr/Miss Strawman makes a ‘no pay to play’ team/league. If, mr Strawman really wants to get looked at by the legitimate Tier 1 organizations, then they are going to have to make that difficult decision to leave all of their friends and family at a young age in order to focus on their hockey progression. There’s big-time costs that start to get involved. Mix that in with increased stress of moving away for the first time; the school and grades will probably slip a bit at first just because of the entirety of everything else involved and slight lack of focus that is expected.and having ups, then they are and The price for everything starts to peak right around midget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamRamRod Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I'll be interested to see who they're able to get. I've heard of 5 of their better players that made Predators. Some others I know were at Esmark tryouts and I assume made it. It looks like they switched up coaches. The guy from last year that came in from Michigan isn't listed anymore, instead it's the father/son duo that coached their younger ages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Criminal they didn’t cancel tryouts and took their tryout fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
