Mais on parle d'exception

Marc André Bergeron Midget BB à Junior Majeur

Je suis plus précis. on ajoute 3 équipes une AA une BB une CC Ces équipes ne videront pas une équipe. Elles vont prendre 2 ou 3 joueurs par équipe. Ces équipes vont jouer avec un moindre nombre de joueurs et on a ajouté 3 équipes par niveau, par organisation. En Mauricie ça représente plus de 10 équipes par niveau. On manque de glace actuellement. Les équipes simples lettres pratiquent sur des demi-glace.

AA mineur et majeur, 2 equipes au lieu d'une BB idem CC idem Ça fait bien 3 équipes de plus non? À moins que je ne sache pas compter... Et les entraîneurs...ils sont déjà incompétents...on en rajoute d'autres? Et ça ne règle rien au problème de développement à part que 17 personnes de plus pourront dire que leur gars joue double lettre.

Mais voyons, vous connaissez ma théorie du parent-payeur... 10% de joueurs élites et 100% de parents qui payent pour eux.

peter31, c'est peut-être toi qui est dans un rêve. Bantam A première année: aucun contact, qualité des pratiques plus que douteuse, aucun emphase mis sur le développement, joue contre des joueurs assez ordinaires qui s'amusent, etc, etc. Bantam deuxième année: si le jeune a été a des camps, des cours de patinage, il a joué AAA l'été, a eu des entraîneurs privé, s'est entraîné en salle, a manié le bâton à chaque jour...peut-être accèdera-t-il au bantam AA. Là, effectivement, son rêve pourra se poursuivre. La grandeur, la maturité et la grosseur n'ont rien à voir là-dedans ( va voir les roster du Midget AAA). Encore moins la lecture du jeu, s'il ne le lisait pas peewee... C'est une question de vouloir de l'enfant et du parent. Ça n'arrive pas avec une baguette magique. Si ces efforts ne se font pas, c'est fini!

azim Il n'y aura pas de mineur et majeur, enlevez-vous cela de la tête, c'est impossible à cause des coûts et de la disponibilité des glaces. HQ a seulement exigé que le midget Espoir et le midget AAA soit dans la structure scolaire. Le bantam AA et le peewee AA ne font pas parti du programme de développement du joueur. Les régions où cela se fait c'est une responsabilité de l'organisation régionale. Bien entendu HQ favorise cette structure, mais elle ne l'impose pas.

Les entraîneurs midget AAA ne vont voir jouer que l'Espoir et les bantam AA à l'occasion. Pensez-vous que les entraîneurs AA vont voir jouer les BB et CC? La réponse est non. Leur équipe est faite à 95% pour l'année suivante ( quand ce sont toujours les mêmes coachs ). Il y a seulement un ou deux joueurs qui peuvent surprendre. Pourquoi se casseraient-ils la tête? Les entraûneurs BB et CC ont leur grande part du blâme. Ce sont eux qui doivent identifier les joueurs potentiels et les suggérer aux entraîneurs AA. Le font-ils? Encore une fois la réponse est: non.

On parle de hockey double lettre, right? BB, CC, malheureusement à cause de la piètre qualité des entraîneurs on ne peut pas parler de développement. C'est du participatif fort. AA, là on parle d'entraînement plus sérieux. Le jeune doit aimer son sport, mais surtout aimer l'effort. Notre problème au Québec c'est qu'on a peur de se dire les vrais affaires. Dire à un jeune qu'il n'a pas de coeur, c'est pratiquement un crime. Parler un peu fort et on vous accuse de ne pas avoir de psychologie. Faites les patiner et on vous accuse de vouloir les brûler. On forme des joueurs ''softs''. ( Oui Carey, je sais tu es d'accord avec ça ...) Pour répondre à la question du début, oui le bantam A c'est la fin du rêve élite. À moins que le jeune ne se prenne en main lui-même avec l'aide de ses parents.

Oui c'est ça, la LHJMQ doit s'impliquer dans le développement. Ils vont d'abord commencer avec leur ligue. Dês l'an prochain ils vont dvelopper un système pour entraîner les jeunes à bord de l'autobus. Comme ils passent près de la moitié de leur temps à se promener. voilà une idée intéressante. L'allée de l'autobus en glace synthétique avec des gardiens à chaque extrémitée. Les toilettes seront le banc de punition et le conducteur va arbitrer en regardant dans son mirroir. Les joueurs de chaque côtés dans les supports à bagages. On commence quand?

jo22 es-tu de la Mauricie?

Comme parent, si mon garçon veut jouer AA et qu'il a peut-être le talent nécessaire, je n'attends pas un téléphone, c'est moi qui appelle. Est-ce qu'il faut aussi aller les chercher, trnsporter la poche du jeune et leur payer le chocolat chaud?

un chocolat chaud avec ça?

Tout a fait d'accord. Qu'est-ce que les recruteurs reprochent à nos joueurs? Justement le manque d'abressivité et d'intensité. Nous formons de beaux joueurs, bons patineurs avec de bonnes mains, mais quand il y a du traffic...on ne les voit plus. Allez voir un match midget AAA, c'est plate à mourir. Midget espoir...encore pire. Pas de mise en échec, on se passe la puck et on patine. Le junior majeur est en train de prendre la même tangente. Je parlais à un parent dont le fils est dans la LHJMQ. C'est un 20 ans et il est physique. Son père m'a dit tout bonnement que son fils n'avait plus le style pour jouer dans cette ligue. Que c'était rendu une ligue de moumounes. Il n'a pas tout à fait tort. Et on nomme des femmes ministre des sports... Beau projet!

PREP HOCKEY - FACTS & MYTHS By Damon White Varsity Hockey Coach - Hotchkiss School We would like to respond to some of the most frequently asked questions about prep schools and prep school hockey. What is this school world all about? What are prep schools? Prep schools are private, college-preparatory schools, usually running from the ninth through the twelfth grade. Many are boarding schools, where students reside on the campus in dormitories, much the same as a university, and some are day schools, where students return home to their families each evening. The schools run in size from 150 to 1000+ students, with most schools falling in the 250-to-500 range. Most prep schools are coed, but there are some have had the advantage of a low student-teacher ratio, allowing for a more personalized approach to education. Are all schools roughly the same? No. Using the college/university model as an analogy, there are differences among the prep schools just as there are differences among the universities. Some are big, and some are small; some have extremely competitive admission standards, and some have more flexibility in the range of students they can accept. The level of academic intensity and the breadth of the academic program varies from school to school, but, generally speaking, a student going on to the university level with one or more years of prep school experience has a distinct advantage in terms of the development of study skills, the maturity that comes from having lived away from home (in the case of boarding schools), and the foundation of knowledge that he takes with him to the next level. By doing a little research using this book, you should be able to target schools that meet your academic and hockey goals. Where are these schools located? Around the United States, with the heaviest concentration in New England. In the New England area, for example, there are fifty-eight prep schools who are members of the New England Prep School Ice Hockey Association. Why is prep school hockey so strong? University and pro scouts return year after year to watch the prep schools in action, and many recognize the prep school level as among the best for this age group. Since schools attract players from around North America and beyond, there is a kind of all-star system in effect. In addition, there is a great deal of ice time available during the season. Most prep schools own and operate their own rinks, and, as a result, their teams get ample ice time every day. Typically, a prep school team will practice for one and a half to two hours on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, and play games on Wednesday and Saturday. Many schools have open ice on Saturday evenings and Sundays for those who want to sharpen their skills. Most schools are within easy driving distance of one another, making travel to and from games a simple affair. Because these schools have the ice time that local high schools struggle to afford, top players from all over the United States, Canada and Europe actively seek admission. How do the hockey levels vary? There is something out there for virtually every interested hockey player. Some programs are highly competitive, and some have quite a variety of ages and skill levels on the roster. The ideal combination is a school with a program that fits both your academic and your hockey skill levels. How do I seek admission? Call or write the admission office at the schools of your choice. You will receive general information on the schools along with the necessary application materials. Depending on the school, the admission process resembles the university process. You most likely will have to take the SSAT (the Secondary Scholastic Aptitude Test) or the SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test), submit a transcript of your recent academic record, and submit recommendations from one or more teachers. Again depending on the school, an on campus visit, tour, and interview may also be encouraged or required. When does the admission process start? It generally starts in the fall and winter prior to the next September's enrollment, but schools sometimes have openings later in the year. Even the most competitive schools occasionally have openings in the late spring or even summer. What about financial aid? Private education tends to be expensive, but virtually all schools have a financial aid program. The methods for calculating financial aid vary from school to school. Some give aid based on demonstrated financial need; others target aid for specific needs within the school: top scholars, athletes, musicians, etc. The admission office should be able to inform you of what system they use. Will prep school hockey get me exposure with university scouts? Yes. The prep school circuit is perhaps the most heavily recruited high school league in the United States. Former prep players dot university rosters around the country, and many prep players have gone on to the National Hockey League and minor pro leagues. Will I get the chance to play at the prep school I select? Yes, no and maybe. It depends on the school, and it depends on your ability. Some schools (not many) will guarantee you a spot on their roster, but most select their teams on a tryout basis. This is the tricky part of the prep school experience. In track and field or swimming, for example, you could readily determine how you compare with others in your age group around the world. Times and distances are concrete. You would know if you would come in as the best runner or swimmer on the campus. Hockey is different. You may be among the best where you are, but where might you fit in at the prep school level? Our advice is simple: if you have high goals in hockey, go for the best program available. If your goal is just to play hockey, go for a program where you are sure you can step in and play. (If you genuinely want to play at the Division I, II, or III college level, you must first be able to play at a competitive prep school level.) What year is best to go away? Players can have a good experience going away for any combination of years. We have seen four year players have great prep school and university careers, and we have seen post graduates greatly benefit from their additional year. It really depends on your situation. If you have run out of competition at home, if your grades are beginning to suffer as a result of fatiguing travel schedules, or if you are eager to move on to the next level, right now is the best time to look around. If you can see several more years of progress ahead of you in your local program and you are satisfied with your academic program, then you should probably wait. There are wonderful opportunities for academic and hockey growth in the prep schools. Call for admission brochures, call prep coaches to discuss their programs, ask the advice of university coaches, and try to question former players and parents on their experiences in prep school. Take the initiative; a whole new world may open to you!

Depuis l'an passé il n'y a plus de division dans la ligue prep NE.

Le Midget Espoir est un excellent endroit pour les parents-payeurs. Gaulois a raison, seulement 20% des joueurs atteignent le midget AAA. Normalement ce sont les 2 ou 3 joueurs que l'entraîneur AAA a envoyé à l'Espoir dans un but précis. Tous les autres joueurs sont là pour payer. Ils ne joueront jamais AAA. On va leur préférer des 15 ans, qui, on l'espère, seront recrutés au junior majeur lors du ''draft'' ( $$$$$).

Pour un jeune de 12 ans qui a fait que deux années de Pee-Wee A et qui vient de se faire couper du double lettre et renvoyé dans le Bantam A, est-ce qu'il est encore possible pour lui de percer ou est-ce que le rêve de joueur competitif est terminé ? C'est lui qui le sait. La seule chose que le parent peut faire c'est lui donner les outils nécessaires. Il doit le vouloir et surtout travailler.

Carey, intensité et agressivité n'ont rien à voir avec la mise en échec. La mise en échec est une technique. L'intensité et l'agressivité sont des comportements.

En plein ça rondelle, et surtout, montrons leurs les bonnes choses!!!

Montréal charge 200.00$ pour les camps double-lettres? Veulent-ils eux aussi déménager dans des locaux plus beaux?

C'est en plein ça HUM! On est dans un pays libre. À chacun de faire ses choix.

Un autre mystère de Hockey Québec...

Big, la paix éternelle a un prix...tu dois en savoir quelque chose :D :D
