Like them or hate them but the winter clubs look smart for not going .<br /><br />The top tournaments and teams are in Medicine Hat and St Albert each year.<br /><br />Maybe burnaby minor might want to look at those tournaments for templates on how to set up pools, scheduling etc. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015022786942436973.post-2588621716429558832013-01-07T16:46:09.460-08:002013-01-07T16:46:09.460-08:00The all-star selections for this tournament are la...The all-star selections for this tournament are laughable at best. It's a shame this used to be a great tournament. The fact that the organizer added a 17th team the night before the tournament started just shows you what organization skills existed.

He is a good size and the only reason that Burnaby is even in games. But Toledo and Baron no chance. As for the rest of Burnaby Minor kids no chance. There is a a reason they went 1-10-1 in league play.

They do have a couple that stand out, but their are several great players and this team could very well take on OHA and win.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02026763084192152222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015022786942436973.post-27501987834092959732013-01-04T18:36:56.771-08:002013-01-04T18:36:56.771-08:00Hey just wondering if any scouts see the following...Hey just wondering if any scouts see the following Burnaby Minor players being drafted: <br /><br />Mateo Toledo<br />Taylor Baron<br />Tavin Grant (goalie)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015022786942436973.post-62662484931118291392013-01-04T15:56:13.708-08:002013-01-04T15:56:13.708-08:0010:04 & 10:35...AGREED!!!
