Wade how many of your 1300 posts have been to complain about nfld ? How many years have you been complaining about the same thing? What have you done to change the rules? NOTHING Can't Wait for nfld teams to beat the generals You seem to have a hard time removing the Generals from the discussion. They have nothing to do with this topic, SK. This is about a lack of consistent rules, an inactive governing system and a dying breed of hockey.

Lion...your league draft is not what pisses us off...it is Clarenville the last few years,and now a second Nfld. team (GFW) being allowed to select over a half a dozen players from the other 4 teams in your league to join the quest for the AC AFTER your league play ends. it is bullshit. You guys play in a AAA league, but create all-star teams year after year with players from othEr teams in your own league...so when the time comes to compete for the National Championship, you have up to something like 9 new faces (Clarenville last year)on the roster...made up of teams you just beat.
How is that, in any way, considered fair. NO other team in Canada can do that. This is not about AP's or draft picks...it s about raiding you own league...and that is on top of being guaranteed a spot in the AC a year in advance...and you are not even the home team.

WHY DOESNT SOMEONE FROM THE ACH LEAGUE (A CERTAIN GM!) JUST SEND AN EMAIL TO HOCKEY CANADA SAYING THEY HAVE DECIDED TO ADD A HALF DOZEN GUYS FROM THE ELIMINATED ACH TEAMS TO THIS YEARS TEAM GOING TO THE ALLAN CUP. EVEN SAY ITS JUST SIMILAR TO NFLDS ENTRY? SEE IF HC EVEN HAS THE BALLS TO RESPOND TO IT I BELIEVE THEY HAVE TO REPLY SOMEHOW.

I know your being a smart ass...but...I'm being serious...a SR AAA GM can attempt to generate dialogue with HC all he wants. The best outcome is no return call. The worst...they'll just laugh at him.

OFTEN I AM, BUT THIS TIME I WASNT TRYING TO BE A SMART ASS. I THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE MAN ENOUGH TO RESPOND. MAYBE POST THE APPROPRIATE EMAIL ADDRESSES (IF YOU HAVE THEM) OF HC PEOPLE INVOLVED AND LET THE PUBLIC (US) ASK QUESTIONS DIRECTLY?

Dean Filane is easy to spot around the AC tournament and to my experience...that's the only time for random folks to have a chance to chat with him.
It's probably not just coincidental he doesn't post or participate here. He has some complicated problems and lacks the tool box to fix them, IMO.
Some of that...isn't his fault.
The rules are one thing...but...each SR AAA team has choices to make & just because they can get away with it doesn't mean they should go ahead and do it.
Clarenville chose to sign these LNAH players. They know it's wrong. They're doing it anyways.
One thing I'll say...SR AAA teams should not be "policing" themselves. Hockey Canada should step in...but...just because they don't step in doesn't mean everyone has to go out & do the most outlandish & classless bullshit they can possibly dream up.
It's the old cliche...give an inch and they'll take a mile.
The mistake was changing the rules for NFLD in the first place.
Now? They've taken it upon themselves to do whatever they want.
They get away with it because they know with the tournament only weeks away...all the $$$$ is non-refundable at this point. They have Hockey Canada by the balls.

GFW only picked up 3 players from the other teams plus a backup goalie they had a couple players who couldn't make the commitment whereas cville added at least 9/10

You have to give credit to GFW for sticking with the team they have and only adding 3 players, some of them wont see much action either. They run are a class act in GFW and it shows in their play this past few seasons.

www.pointstreak.com/prostats/teamplayerstats.html?teamid=534756&seasonid=12605Bous' roster mysteriously amended. Note the 2 LNAH players no longer listed & the total roster only showing 26 players. Rumour is...Hockey Canada demanded the non-compliant roster be corrected. If this is true...Clarenville will only have 26 eligible players for AC2015...losing the 2 allotments which they burned on illegal players. Another dime in the pocket for the DCOSH...perhaps? #TravelFundIsFattenedUp

Maybe Doug can explain who has access to the allancup.ca/pointstreak roster page?
It could be Doug was asked to change the roster...or...someone else with access went in & changed it?
I've had online shots traded with a forum member on the nlhockey talk.ca site who claims to be the person "in charge" of the 'Bous roster and based on my intuition...I'd say it's very tough to assume any full accuracy to the entire story at this time.

As you say wade, who knows at this point how accurate the whole story is, but I would point out if(?) I am reading that roster correctly, I think it is actually only showing 24 players. Goalies Churchhill & Savage are duplicated.

You are correct, sir.
Mibad.
Math isn't really a big thing in my line of work.
