*** Go Bisons!
NSWC defeats Abby today 4 0.....way to go Hawks
Does this mean Cloverdale won't be staying in Tier 1?
In a 23-0 win who cares how many points any player gets.It tells us absolutely nothing except that Cloverdale were in well over their heads.
It is my opinion that one of the measures of a true winner is to lose with dignity and win with class.
I don't know if Cloverdale managed to hold on to their dignity with such a humilating result but I am convinced BWC showed absolutely no class when running up the score in this manner.
As a BWC parent,player or coach, one has to ask oneself, what was gained by doing this, what did we teach our players and did we really gain anything at all?
Remember, what goes around comes around. One day the shoe will be on the other foot.
Watched Bantam AA Saskatchewan games this past week. Very very thin is it just a weaker year teams I have seen Notre Dame, Moose Jaw, Weyburn and Estevan were all weak why?? PA had 2-3 strong players. NE had 2-3 strong players. Just one of those years??
hey 11:53 lets be serious BWC will not lose 23-0
BWC you showed your true colors shame on you!
Totally without class bwc.
John Batchelor ought to be ashamed of himself.
Is anyone surprised that BWC and John Batchelor showed no class? Ive been watching this same show for years now and no one ever calls them on it.
SSAC 17 Camrose 1
NSWC 13 Cl;overdale 0
No class there too.
I feel sorry for Cloverdale having to be put in this situation by PCAHA, this could have been avoided if when putting the Placements Groups together other factors other than how well a team did in the previous season were taken into consideration, this happens all the time and not just at the Bantam Level and it is not only a Tier 1 problem - Everyone around the lower mainland new that this year Cloverdale were in way to deep and would struggle - maybe not this drastic - I am sure this has been no fun for the players or coaches and has not been much of a learning experience for them of any of the teams they have played so far.
BWC who can say anything more...shame on you....
BWC plays 3 20 minute full stop time. the only team that does that.
For Cloverdale after the first period, the second was cut to 15 minute and the 3rd was cut to a 15 minute running time.
Funny how no one was complaing when Cloverdale was running the score up on teams last year and double shifting the Soy, Seto,etc in the last 5 minutes of games to rack up points.
11:09 Thank you for so aptly proving the point at 11:22 in the previous comment section. My 13 year old has learned a tremendous amount about life through high level sport and would want nothing to do with being a part of a game like that, eithor side. Even at his age he would be ashamed of it and the people that allowed it. I believe most children know better as they have been taught the purpose of sport and how to conduct themselves in a sportsmanlike manner. For once BWC people, heed some advice, hang your head, look inward and try to raise the bar. They're kids, it's a game. You are the adults. Even with you, odds are 98% of all of us will be watching our young men in Div 1 beer league in 10 years. So please enjoy the ride eithor way.
1109am you make a valid point, two wrongs dont make a right though,

"For once BWC people, heed some advice, hang your head, look inward and try to raise the bar. They're kids, it's a game"
Really its a game, then why do you bash and tell everyone how poor they are playing and not scoring???
its not to hard to look at comments and see.
You can also blame WEHP for putting up top scores and the percentages.
And yes BWC is to blame, but it should also go around to many others as well.
You are the same people that bash this team for not scoring and poor goal tending,etc. So which team do you want ???
That is true, I think we all could raise the bar here and at the rink!!
I think of how lucky we are to be having fun debating this when there are real people with real issues on their hands. Amen Brothers!!
It's hard to imagine how parents can be happy watching their kids be pushed aside for out of province imports. BWC parents should shake their heads and do the right thing. Go back to your clubs and let your kids develop.
There is a bit of a line to walk in cases like this. Is it more humiliating to get shelled by a team playing hard or a team making a mockery of the game by passing up scoring chances to avoid running up the score, or playing kids out of position, etc? I am not from British Columbia and was not at the game, so I have no idea about context. If BWC was rolling lines and not celebrating each goal like it was the game winner, I am not sure what else you would have them do. On the other hand if they were double shifting the top guys to pad points and rub the other teams noses in it with over the top celebrations, indeed there is a problem.
Wow Vancouver T Birds beat Seattle 16 to 2.
Then they beat Poco 9 to 0 and fire over 70 shots on Poco Net
Shame on you T birds
In my opinion:
PCAHA should clearly see the picture being painted here,
there should be a Banatam tier 1 grouping with maximum 7-9 teams.
Better competitive hockey for the kids
evey year the competition level changes (for eg. Cloverdale and Semi's team from last year)
I do have a concern about posting stats on these types of games, where does the information come from? (twitter bragging or parent emails who were not in attendance? 15 points - 5 goals and how many assists? - seriously now!?)
There must have been several players racking up double digit points in that BWC Cloverdale game, and those players or parents must be the emabarrassed ones.
Just a note to the Club/Academy parents and kids, tiering scores are contests that mean absolutely nothing in the season, just like your Atom and PeeWee stats.
A twitter post was broadcasted by last years #1 WHL draft pick applauding a 15 point game,
there must be a reason why this young man did not have twitter last year, it would have shown his personal respect and class for this great sport.
Before you post or boast, think about the affects it could have with the associations or programs looking at the person your parents have raised
the plum does not fall far from the tree
Some Partents can do better teaching and raising your sons and daughters the game and the respect that goes along with it.
thats only 5 goals each from their line, and they are the top players, seriously?
how did the other BWC players support that score, or were they not allowed to play?
If the team is saying the scoring only comes from those two players, that is the answer to their fall.
I am surprised
Thank You BWC for giving us your answer.
3:33 - T-Birds A1 are in Tier 3. A little different game to say the least but hey - you got your team a mention comparing them with BWC and NSWC. It's great you're winning games!
I think many of the posters are being reactionary rather than thinking what is truly missing from minor hockey. PCAHA definitely deserves the brunt of the blame but how does BC Hockey go unscathed as they are the ones allowing boundary less clubs to compete in Provincial Championships!
Why not develop regional teams similar to Alberta or BCMML here in BC. This would deter many of the player movements as these players would have higher end local teams to tryout for.
As for the marketing of players I fully agree that its a shame that BWC chooses to only MARKET certain players in order to promote their program. 1st rounders and the distinction of such are what keeps people interested so the higher the picks the better the perception of the program. Realistically the whole "hype" surrounding this young man started with a ragtag report strategically placed on youtube and seen by many. This is not to take away from the accomplishments of this young man but could you imagine a Benson or Hannoun in that same league and what they would have been able to accomplish.
For many of you that foolishly think that scouts don't get drawn into these publicity scams you need to give your head a shake! If that wasn't the case we wouldn't have our Alexandre Daigles or Pat Falloon's. BWC and NSWC parents are intrinsically drawn to shinny objects. Maybe thats why many of them are the haves and we are the have nots. LOL Or at least they always like to tell us how jealous we are. Think about it…how many youtube sensations have the Vipers and Vancouver Selects recruited over the years.
As for the comments about it being a shame that WEHP posted the goal scorers and percentages…remember Pat Falloon was painted as the hero when really it was the guy doing the dirty work and feeding him the puck. We all know the ending to that story as Ray Whitney went on to have a long and prosperous career in the NHL.
Stats and hype mean nothing if you're not a complete all around player! I know many of the players on WEHP's stats list are far from this and are products of stat fluffing and hype creation by coach dads.
Hope this comment gets posted as many of mine don't!

For all the non BC people.
Example: T-Birds are an A1-Tier 1 team who are in pool 3 for placement who will probably end up in flight 2 or 3.
Pool, Flight and Tier are all different things in BC.
1-Tier denotes association size (less kids lower tier for provincials)
2-Pool denotes your group for the placement round.
3-Flight denotes which level of play you have been placed in for the year (do better in the placement round you could move up a flight)
After 10 games in your flight, a team can be moved up or down a flight.
With this system the best kid in the province could play on a tier 2 team in flight 4 and many kids do.
10:10
Cloverdale will always stay an A1 Tier 1 team even if they fall to Flight 3 as the association has high numbers (therefore will compete as a tier 1 team for provincials).
Years ago a kid could move boundaries if he lived in a Tier 2 area (then called B hockey) and tryout for a Tier 1 team (rep team). They put a stop to this boundary hopping and created A1,A2,A3 etc and said everyone now is a rep player you have a rep team to play on.
Well, I see move movement now than ever before! Maybe its time to change back.
Boundaries need to be drawn based on populatin and the league will be competative and year to year different teams will emerge. This is the basic concept of minor hockey at any level including competive hockey. Jagger White scored 15 goals in that game. Both his parent live in Alberta and he is living with the parents of one of the BWC kids. What in the heck is he doing out here. The PCAHA should establish population based boundaries and inforce them. You have to live with your parents or guardian within the boundary to play for that team. Anything or team outside of this should not be involved in minor hockey or playoffs. POE and OHA are simular and they opt out.

Good info. Didn't know that.

He lives in Burnaby, Never played in BC so he can live where ever he likes. The rest is none of our business. You should mine your own....
10:31
Actually, the Hockey Canada residency rules state that a player must play for an association in which his parents or court appointed guardian resides. (HC F 3)
If all is on the up and up, no problems.
Further, it is everyone's business that rules are followed and a balanced playingfield is for all.

Prince George 1 at Kelowna 4 FINAL
the score was PG 4, Kelowna 1
Typical winter club attitude....and then they wonder why they evoke such animosity.
The current system obviously isnt working. BWC and NSWC are always the top teams because they are allowed to recruit players. Deny this all you want we all know it happens. Either totally open up the boundaries like the GTHL in Toronto or take BWC and NSWC out of provincials. POE and OHA dont "opt out" of provincials, BC hockey doesnt allow them to play in it. I know for a fact that a certain BWC parent tried very hard to get an Alberta player thats on POE to come to BWC this year. We are fools to believe that White has any right to be there this year.
I think everyone is getting tired of this negative conversation. We know there is player movement ALL over BC, Alberta, Man and Sask. Like it or not it happens at the Winter Clubs and Associations and has been happening for years and will continue to happen. Who cares about BWC ? Everytime we come back to the same old topics about player movement, recruitment ect. we make ourselves look like whiners. We don't need to talk about them. Lets talk about which kids and teams are improving. Which tournaments are coming up. Good hockey stories not the garbage that we keep reading about.
agree with 8.28
Seems like alot of sour grapes towards programs that have excelled for years.

I think the volume of messages on the subject is evidence that visitors to this blog are enjoying this debate/discussion.
I also think some worthwhile concepts have been suggested.
I'm always fascinated by those who complain about some of the messages here, as if they were being forced -- at gun-point maybe -- to read them.
How come there are always comments on the games from BC and Alberta, but no comments on the games from MB? Just saying...
It is primarily a reflection of the population that visits this site. Clearly the vast majority of interest is in BC, the lower mainland specifically.
Next is Alberta.
SK and MB parents obviously have better things to do.
9:55
But yet you FIND the time to comment! HAHAHAHA!!!
Thank you 9:55, so basically you are saying if you play in BC, and you don't cut it, your parents are gonna be mad, sounds like they want to live their dreams through their children. I think it's way too much pressure on a 14year old.
Yup. Lots of BC parents waaay too obsessed with their child's hockey. Call them obsessed, or living vicariously ... whatever. It is often a problem.
But remember, this site/blog only exists because of the obsession with the Bantam Draft, which -- as I've said before -- means almost nothing.
November 5, 2012 4:10 PM
Yes, if the draft were a year later as all other places it would mean more. Parents don't seem to realize that their kid can be drafted one day and replaced the next. Don't get too excited people its only a snapshot in time of where your kid sits today. Most kids that get drafted this early are from the most visible teams. Lots of kids are seen later and "little Johnny " is replaced. Also smaller kids today may be big kids tomorrow so don't get too excited if your kid is an early grower, many kids catch up and even pass on by.
