North 9 - South 3
In Red Deer, AB, the Alberta AAA Bantam All-Star game took place yesterday afternoon with Team North defeating Team South by a score of 9-3. Team North built up a 6-0 lead by the midway point of the 2nd period on goals by Noah Gregor, Kale Clague, Luc Smith, Tyler Benson and a pair by Alex Rotundo. Mason Shaw, Brayden Hyland and Sam Steel would also score for Team North while Parker Aucoin, Steven Lawrence and Tyler Anderson scored for Team South. Sam Steel and Alex Rotundo led the way with three points each.
-The Winnipeg AAA All-Star festivities also took place yesterday. One of the players scouts were watching was the leading scorer of the Bantam 1 league - Dylan Thiessen. Here is an article written on Dylan from the Winnipeg Sun here: http://www.winnipegsun.com/2013/01/10/local-aaa-hockey-stars-make-the-grade
-In the Bantam 2 game, Cayden Kraus scored a Hat-Trick for Team White in a 5-4 victory in a shoot-out over Stelio Mattheos and Team Red. Kraus has 8-6-14 in 15 games so far this year for the Winnipeg Sharks in regular season play.
- In some PCAHA action from the weekend, it was Dante Hannoun picking up 2-5-7 and Jordy Bellerive along with Quinn Benjafield with 4 points in each in an 11-0 win over Richmond. NSWC allowed just 7 shots in the game. Hannoun leads NSWC in scoring with 40-52-92 this season in 39 games played and is a fantastic +56. Jordy Bellerive leads in goals with 52 in 41 games.....Then last night, NSWC defeated Semiahmoo 7-0 with Hannoun picking up another 4 points.....Semiahmoo lost the night prior to South Delta 3-1. The Ravens are now 7-7-1 in league play and sit a distant 3rd in the PCAHA flight 1 standings....
More later today...

weird how it shows semi as 4th on teamlink.ca
i think richmond could use a bigger bench and a bigger tendy
richmond could use more players and a real goalie
semiahmoo's in 4th and 4 points behind 3rd and they have one more game played then third place team...weird
Why is it such a big accomplishment for a player to score a huge amount of points when beating a team 11-0 or 7-0. We all know that the coaches put these players on the ice for extra shifts to pad their stats during these games to make themselves look good. Is anyone with any common sense at all analyzing this. My congratulations would go to the player who plays on a weaker team who manages to work his butt off all game to score or set up 1 goal against one of these prima donna teams. Too much praise for too little of an accomplishment! Lets move some of these stars around and see the rankings change dramatically.
By my calculations and teamlink T-Birds are 4th.

This is the consensus of opinion of everyone I know. Well said. Try putting Hannoun back in North Delta where he lives and I would bet anything he wouldn't even be ranked. No all around support, no big stats. And against the clubs he would be stopped immediately, no big stats.

If you think Hannoun wouldn't be anything in North Delta, you know absolutely nothing about this kid. His skill and compete level is far superior then the majority of the players in Bantam. Good for the family to go where he gets good coaching and not have to listen to parents like you. With a opinion like yours, I'm sure hope your not coaching.
Consensus of everyone you know?????
You must live on a deserted island!!!
The comments I've heard it he's got the complete package and size is the only issue.

the same could be said for many players,coaches and teams.
Do I need to bring up anyone that plays Grand Prairie,Okotoks Oilers,Camrose Vikings or Knights of Columbus Squires. All of theses teams are averaging more then 5.8 goals against per game.
These teams have no business playing with these other teams.
And have a below average of 2.5 GF per game. its everywhere not just in BC.

Size is now the biggest issue.

Parental anger showing here. Better get used to it.
Many better kids showing up now.

If you read the comment correctly you will see that the consensus refers to another post, not the player reference dad!

At least my opinion is from a consensus. Yours is just from "what I've heard".

Parents may have to get used to the fact that little johnny isn't as good as they think. Good players aren't always great players.

I agree with this statement. If this player was enough to pull ND out of fight 2 he would be a great player but he couldn't and has not proved he can stand on his own.

This could be said of other players on the clubs and academies also. Its hard to see their real talents when they are surrounded by other good players who often cover up for them. If the goalie is good and the D are strong the forward can make lots of mistakes and have them covered up.
Why is it such a double standard here.
If one kid gets many points in one game , So of you consider this amazing and the next boy wonder. But when someone else does it, its trying to pad stats? You have the same thing with goalies.
agree with 1.11 pm
not to take anything away from tyler benson, he is very good player, but break down how many points he has against those teams.
should play a true interlock agianst the south.

All stats in BC are from the parents. Enough said.

I would like to point out that 3 of those teams you mentioned are from the North. Wonder what Bisons, Northstars, and Royals stats would be if they played those teams twice a year as well. How about this Aucoin kid who has 50G and has to play Bisons, Royals, and Flames 5 times each. Or Phillips who has to play the Northstar, Royals, and flames 5 times each as well.
Watched the AMBHL Allstar game and two things surprised me. Lack of offense from the forwards on the south and poor goaltending as a whole on the south. Only thing on par was the south defence with the north defence other than I thought Clague was the best player on the ice hands down. Controlled the whole game. The south may very well have more even teams as I think they have there draw areas figured out better than the north, but as far as top talent the north wins hands down. Don't start blaming the kids for lack of consistency in the teams, blame the league for not having equal/fair boundaries.
