This is a brave move by Waterloo minor hockey - an AA merger with neighbouring city Kitchener has been approved, according to radio station 570 News.
It means fewer elite spots for kids in K-W, but also means stronger teams. That should put the Twin Cities on the same level as the London Jr. Knights, Elgin-Middlesex Chiefs and Toronto teams.
Hockey parents need to realistic. Just because your son is occupying a spot on an team labelled AAA doesn't mean he's an elite player.
Some may argue that spots in AAA should be occupied by teens and pre-teens who have realistic athletic skills, desire and interest to shoot for Major Junior or Jr. B.
Of course, that begs the question why there are AAA major midget teams.
