Began my hockey coaching career in the 80’s. Made it through somehow for about 30+ years. Here is how coaching has changed over those years in my opinion. I’m sure all of us “Old School” guys would agree.

Sad to read OUA sports cancels season. Best 4 or 5 years of a players life just became best 3 or 4 years of a players life. You lose 20-25% of anything it’s huge. My heart goes out to all USPORT athletes.

Ok. Gonna put it out there and to hell if you don’t like it. Asinine the WHL drafts 14/15 year olds. OHL. Not much better. Figure out your best U16’s. Select 2 underage. Leave the rest alone to develop. CHL. Get standardized. Rules for the OHL should be rules for W and Q

One last parting thought. Canada has somewhere north of 650 K minor hockey players, largest pool in the world but stagnant growth. The US is approaching 575 K and growing. They are our equal. And we will have our work cut out for us to stay with them. Mark my words

Thought. OHL pushes draft years for 2005’s to the summer of 2022. Alleviates stress for all the young players and their parents worried sick. Opens up spots for this years overage crew to play one more year of Junior. Would this not be a win win for all.

Logan Stankoven will play in the NHL not just because he’s an immensely skilled small player (there’s lots of them) but because he’s an immensely skilled small player with a compete level through the roof. And that’s the difference.

That’s Tomasino. Consummate team player. Hop off the bench to serve a 5 minute major for his team, with a smile on his face. Next shift rips one home to regain 2 goal lead. This kid is goi g to be very important for Canada.

If Columbus BJ dump the puck in 20 times and regain possession 80% of the time doesn’t that make them a good puck possession team? Conversely if their opponent refuses to dump yet consistently gives up possession of the puck, aren’t they a poor puck possession team?

Not sure I agree with this one. Yes no travel. For either team. So every night you’re playing against non-travel legs. Any perceived advantage is mitigated. No fans for momentum. No family for moral support. Very difficult tournament to win.

Just gonna throw this out there for discussion, and my opinion only. If I am scouting a U15 or U16 player for a CHL draft I personally feel I can assess him more accurately when he competes against his peers (@ U15 or U16 level) than I can if the player is playing U18

In the day and age when goalies have to be 6’3 to get an NHL sniff, I bet Ed Balfour, Curtis Joseph and Dominic Hasek are awful glad they played when they did. They’re now too short to even be put on a lot of NHL teams draft list. Isn’t that ludicrous?

Consistently amazed at the teams that have yet to realize most offence begins with a great defensive team stripping opponents of pucks, reducing opponents possession time, and transitioning their team to offense. Is there an analytic for that!

If the fourth line wingers father flew over from Germany and it was the only opportunity to watch the kids play, the coach better damn well play him. It’s not the National Hockey League, it’s not college or junior hockey, it’s minor hockey, AAA or not.
