alot more new teams that usually dont come will be playing this year so it will eb interesting to see what these teams are like!!

[notes]

nothing much new there, except a second team from washington and one from jersy. i predict all teams in the second row will advance

[Crazy]

Why do they give Tony this tournament?Look at the game times he gives his own team..One game each day at 7pm.Look at St Kitts 9:30 Thurs..Then 9:am Saturday ..Send the Midget team again Mr Cole..

if there is a decent midget team - heard that they got rid of most of their 88's last year - not now are looking for players to play midget - good management - lol

why does it say on the schedule friday sept 9th 2003 and sept 10th 2003?

[No big deal]

obviously a typo, says 2005 at the top and Thursday & Friday. Scheduler probably cut & pasted from previous years. I use those short cuts all the time, sometimes you can miss something though.

I understand fort erie ihosts team this tournament, and that they would love nothing better than to be in the showcase final. But why do they always place themselves in the weakest division??? I find this tournament somewhat of a anti climax as the semifinal game between the B and C division is the most entertaining. ;D the only thing more entertaining is when fort erie doesn't make it out of the round robin portion.

Tony, make a note for next year.
Instead of placing your team in the weakest division so they can advance, try improving the calibre of hockey the kids play so they can advance on their own merrit

Have you ever been involved in hosting a tournament? Many minor hockey associations host tournaments, and the perk of hosting is scheduling the best times for your home team. It is a no brainer. Why would the home team give themselves the worst times and toughest competition? It happens all the time, look around!

Got to agree with that last post...You hit it right on the mark,tourny set up is a joke,everything is slanted to get F.E. to the final

[anon]

Peace bridge; quit your whining, their hosting the tourny, they can do what they want. If you don't like it, stay home.

[anon]

Same for you hitchhawk.

[peace bridge]

i admit i usually do stay home, for the FE games!!!!! the semi is all i go to watch

[Support all kids]

How do you people know what the teams from Jersey, Boston. Washington, etc. are even going to be like? Stop making assumptions before the tournament starts. If you like hockey, support all the kids! That's what it is all about, supporting our local sports and kids, no matter what community you may be from.

Sorry for being so closed minded, just going on past experiences with these teams.

Maybe you haven't been to this tourney before, but once you attend you will realize.
I give credit to the american teams, the only way to improve yourselves is by playing better teams. You learn new techniques and find out where your shortfalls are, the key is realizing this and making the appropriate improvements.

[Support all kids]

Peace Bridge: Glad to see your positve tone! Keep it up! All the kids need our support. It is always easier playing for a team that wins all the time. Sometimes it takes more character when your playing for a struggling team and you don't jump ship!
