The decision to have two AAA teams from Greater Sudbury dilutes the talent pool and doesn’t serve the players, parent says
Thank you for taking the time to read this plea for public support. It is my hope that all will understand and support the fact Sudbury kids are indeed suffering from ill-advised decisions made by our local hockey associations.
Teams are seeing tournament wins, consistent competitiveness anywhere in the province and our kids are having a blast. Provincial rankings are up significantly throughout all ages and the trickle-down effect to all of our other rep programs has produced the same impressing and positive results. Frankly, there are many other viable options to “ensure that our teams have guaranteed games to play”, without surrendering our children’s development and success throughout all rep programs.
Coaching staffs were forced to limit their programs to accommodate players with large gaps in skill level. Kids were being consumed with constant team failure, diminishing their love for the game. All the while this was funnelling through to all rep programs. Nobody, anywhere in hockey, will tell you this is better for developing our young athletes. Our associations have failed us. They have sacrificed our kids for the sake of keeping a league alive.
“Our long term goal is to increase high level hockey in Sudbury so our teams can compete successfully and that our players will have somewhere to play in Northern Ontario.” This was another quote from our association upon release of their recent decision. Unfortunately, they’ve again taken a step backwards.
