Coach does have to develop a player. that development happens during practice, not in a game.

I agree games are important but practice and repetitions develop and improve players.

I hear you. But not playing gets old quick. Because I agree kids will improve practicing with better players (if they are getting reps). However, they will not play in any tight game. It's okay to shorten the bench and play to win, especially at the elite team level. But a coach should reward hard work at practice and get the bottom half of the roster in for a shift or two. Not playing is unacceptable, again, in my opinion. If a coach does that he will bridge the development during practice by building confidence in the player. That combination will speed up the development of a player. A competent coach can do it, because if a kid isn't good to play, he is on the wrong team.

Just a comment about the Chuck's vs Schwalje team. Both have good players. Fact is Chuck's team is smaller built on the offense and a couple of poles are very weak. Schwalje's boys are definitely bigger and the poles are excellent. The goalie on Chuck's team is way better than one of the goalies on Schwalje. Channy was not coaching Chuck's team on Wednesday. His other two coaches were. Igloo B is scrimmaging Chuck's team so we will see how they weather.

We are not a B team.

Word is igloo B spanked Chuck's team today

Chucks picked up a few kids who did not play much on 91A and 91 Academy (Development Team), Outlaws B, and Legacee. Unless Channy drops AA players onto that team, they will struggle to even be on this list.

Top Teams (In any order)
Igloo AA
Express AA
91AA

Next Teams (In any order)
Outlaws A
91A
Igloo A
ExpressA (depending on who Channy drops onto this team)
LegaceeA (maybe)

All others. Outlaws wanna be AA, but they are clearly a top A team. IglooA and 91A are close to AA, some kids could make those teams, but they are not there yet. ExpressA - Who knows? Do they have 3 teams? 4 teams? Huge money grab. Everyone wanted to join after his WSYL win, but he is not adding to his AA because AA is all he focuses on.

Here, to make you feel better, Igloo 2nd team.

That Igloo A (2nd team) is a very very good team.......better than United in their hay day before 9D1 messed those teams.

Igloo B has 10 new players, why don't we give it a little time and see how three compete

So hilarious to see True Boo I mean Blue playing in the big dog bracket. They will be leaving with their tail between their legs. Pretty bold move Coach Bentz. Looking forward to watching them get humiliated out there.

Why so negative? Stop hating!

Not hating just stating facts

True Blue will be competitive with or beat igloo b and outlaws, would not surprise me to see them in the finals

It will be Legacy or Igloo vs Express in the A final and Express Shwalje vs Express Chucks in the other final.

Who are you talking to?

Why so negative? Stop hating!

As far as the CAA bracket I find it highly unlikely that Express Chuck advances to the finals after losing the first game. Probably will not be an actual Championship game as Express Schwalje's 3rd game will be between the two undefeated teams and instead of playing back to back games against one another will play game 3 for the Championship

Should be outlaws or legacee vs express in the finals. Legacee should be very strong this year, they were strong last year and picked up some very good players. Outlaws are similar to last year and igloo has too many new players to compete this early in the season, just my thoughts

It will be Legacy or Igloo vs Express in the A final and Express Shwalje vs Express Chucks in the other final.

Just stating the facts huh? ..fact is your a tbag. you only hate because you think pink trout is better..go have fun over there with those clowns and the b team nonsense..bentz is awesome..
