Interesting times ahead for elite minor hockey families in Kitchener and Waterloo as the number of midget and bantam AAA teams in the Twin Cities may soon be cut in half.
Under the hand of the Major Junior Kitchener Rangers, the AAA programs are slated to be amalgamated, meaning better AAA teams but fewer spots for players, who will either filter down to AA hockey teams or drift to other sports.
What's more, according to the Waterloo Region Record, the wheels are in motion to loosen the geographical restrictions for competitive hockey in Ontario in preparation for a "Super Midget League".
Interesting times are ahead for K-W that'll make last summer's AA debate in London look like child's play.
Ego crush alert. Maybe they'll organize more AA teams from each city.
ReplyDeleteIs the plan to make AAA midget hockey as good as junior B?
ReplyDeleteThis will make the Junior Rangers more on the level of the London Junior Knights and Elgin-Middlesex Chiefs and Toronto teams. It should also help create a bigger, better AA league for these age groups. OMHA and Alliance have it right.
