2003 G AAA changes and openings

[Guest]

you can have 5 import spots if you had it before the rule change.

BUT the moment you cut one of the original five imports (assuming a team had five carded imports prior the rule change), the number drops to four.

heard rebs skate was awful.

How could a skate be awful?
It's a skate

[Guest]

Maybe real team didn't show up.

So riddle me this Batman...how does TM have the following players all considered imports as far as I and anyone else i speak to knows:
1. ED (D - Hamilton)
2. BW (G - Burlington)
3. DR (G - Caledon)
4. RJ (FW - Oakville)
5. JB (FW - |Richmond Hill)
6. JOD,(FW- not sure but i know he lives & goes to school in Burlington)

Hamilton no longer import under new rules.

If you have followed the 03 loop over the years you will be able to make a good prediction about next season.
No surprises in this easily predictable loop.

DMF - runaway winners
REBS/TN - excellent additions and clear ahead of TM - DMF will regret the stars they lost

TM - always better than the others behind them - minor peewee stars still do the job

NYR - coaching and goaltending go a long way

TRW - not easy to call - too many unknowns

VK/REPS - big jump as others trail off - some good adds too

What kind of an ego does it take to place REBS next to DMF without dropping the puck??
Are you that foolish?

There are 3 or 4 other teams you need to beat to get there and its not going to happen without a good long fight. The top 6 will be a grind and it will not be easy anymore.

LIVING THE DREAM - IN HIS HEAD ANYWAY.....

Who did the ex Rep goalie need a release from?

[Guest]

Who cares. Another goalie already took his place.

[Guest]

Yes, the goalie that committed to another team. Seems to be the norm in the G!

[Guest]

Is it the norm in the G to deny a kid (goalie) a release to go to another team?

Seems childish and mean spirited at the least.

Big 3 teams poach kids aaa will, many kids switch teams for all kinds of reasons. Why this very late craziness?

[Guest]

I would love to know how or who is in control when it comes to monotring import spots.
As is this the fountain of information, I assume someone here will have an answer.
I contacted several teams looking for import spot and they tell me 4 is max, I know a few teams
that certainly have more than 4....whats up with this

TM is one for sure....both goalies are imports, JOD and BJ from Oakville, EDM from Hamilton, JB from ETA....that is 6 right there !! PC better hope no one pulls out a map or his arrogance is going to get someone in a load of trouble.

I will happily rat out the Marlies.....they have been breaking rules for years so now that they are having some issues lets hold them to the rules like everyone else

Tell you what will happen: they lease a place (most likely friends or relative house), update bank account and driver licence to that address and then you are local. To be fair, GTHL does not have enough resources to police.

[Guest]

It's all falling into place. DF wants to showcase his boy front and centre. That's all that matters.

[Guest]

Where is the ex Rep goalie going to play next year?

[Guest]

JM? A bench

[Guest]

Well JJ from TT will have a real fun season ahead of him. They will have trouble matching last season’s success. The recruitment process just simply AA.

The HOF has his own set of rules. Thinks that lures players. Guy is an arrogant fool, who could play hockey but has no glue how to coach.

Must be a sticky situation

Barrie Colts.
