still havent answered question,are you old aaa or parent of mid range player?
There is nothing in my post below that makes you ask any other questions other than, are you old aaa or parent of mid range player? WOW. No questions/thoughts about what is going on in our hockey area? Were is the money going? Whos making the money? Why am I paying for uniforms of Jr A players?
Why is the hockey at U18 so weak? The U18 rep at Midget regionals scored 2 goals in what 4 games. I felt for those kids.

If that is true that is a huge jump in the price of a francize. Is it because the CCHL now runs CCHL2 and those teams are being bought up by CCHL teams. Prescott moves to Cobden and run by Pembroke. Clarence Creek bought by CP and moving.Plus please remember they own/run the U 18 league.Some teams in CCHL have started academy's this is two fold it is revenue generating and circumvents the underage transfer rule of Hockey Canada. Player moved to go to school not play hockey.
CCHL,CCHL, and U18 have an equipment deal with CCM. Is the CCHL getting a kick back from CCM. I would think so. CCHL now controls about 40 teams not 12 that kick back if happing could be huge. Big enough to get most of the equipment used at the CCHL for free a huge saving that comes off the bottom line of each team making CCHL teams expenses go down. Making CCHL teams worth more money.
If HEO takes AAA away from HEO, Junior hockey will own/control the top level competitive hockey. They have the votes at the HEO BOD.
Please put a stop to this madness.
