Tēma: U18 Canada National Team

Why does the CL matter? Do they get extra training if they are on the national team?

Yes they do. If you consider the U18 and U20 teams as a stepping stone for the Senior team then C/L has a huge impact on how good players will be at 21+ years old.

If I win the elections,I'd like to have a chance to win or at least having a great tournament

Only at with a TC lvl 14 or 15

Cause for me 5/6 or 6/6 is not very different right now

Agreed. The key being "right now". When they hit 23 years old, the difference between 6/6 and 5/6 "right now" is the difference between 4/6 and 3/6... which is a huge drop.

Yes.L I understand now.And with a TC lvl 15,the difference of trainning beetween the players 5/6 and 6/6 is big? Because its not for me

i really hope not

Me too

Roy Monteith is a very nice dman, tuned 5/6 this season
Jordan Bennett good center, he is still 6/6

that is about it for the Strippers

cough Leon Cyr cough

That's what you get when you have too much good pulls. You can't keep track of them all lol

those were just my 17 year olds. Here is my 16 year olds: Jared Cohen .
And the rest of the 15 year old kids I got:
Brandon Lacombe
Jakob Maher
Isaac Davies

I hope you all scout these guys. Make sure you're not chewing anything, as you might choke.

It's amazing how things can go in your favour when you get a great pull early in the game (Tierney).

I certainly don't. If we suppose that each season 15 players turn 19 (the real number is likely to be higher) then this means that after 5 seasons at least 75 players will have gone through Canada's U18. I find it unrealistic to think that the senior team can absorb so many players in such a short amount of time.

This means that a significant portion of the players selected would fall in a category I like to call the "maybe eventually could end up on the senior team." The U18 is a national team in itself, I would much prefer it be ran as such and that the players selected be the best available for this team. This way the best prospects get selected anyway because they are the best prospects and the rest of the team is built with the best available for this team which would include some players that would fit in the category mentioned above and players with no hope of making the senior team due to their longevity but with the ability to be strong assets to the U18.

I see no reason why we should use the U18 as a farm team when in reality only a portion of the players selected will move on to the senior team.

My thoughts exactly. If U-18 and U-20 are to be farm teams, then count me out.
