If you kid didn't participate in AAA Try Hockey for Free and a session of AAA Learn to Play, don't bother signing up.

That's that tournament company's schtick. My kid did one as an 18 u. I could see it being really fun for younger kids, they have a mascot that goes into the benches, they 'interview' players in between games, have photo booth, stuff like that. I wouldn't read too much into their promotional stuff, but I wouldn't discount playing in their tournament. It was well run, appropriate teams, etc.

Mascots? Red carpet? Photo booth? Not 1, not 2, but FOUR teams from the Hockey Super League?!?! 

 

Sounds like a cosplay event, not a youth hockey tournament. 

The new parents with first time players are the easiest to sucker.

What the heck is a 7-10 year old AAA player?  That is hilarious.

Someone that paid way too much money for their hockey season.

You can usually spot them.  They are mature beyond their years because they started living with billet families during their Snowplow Sam years.

So was I.  I thought the notion of a 5 year old billeting was hilarious.
