Squires still gets picked ahead of Sentner next June, have a look at the first 2 rounds of the OHL draft and Q draft from this season....creativity, speed, IQ , vision all trump muscle... Small crafty players turn pucks over as much as those who crash and bang, they win more battles with their mind then there physical play. I watched several games in the GTHL over the past 2 seasons....players rarely are out of position trying to make the big hit...the hockey is fast, skilled and the PP is deadly.

Squires still gets picked ahead of Sentner next June, have a look at the first 2 rounds of the OHL draft and Q draft from this season....creativity, speed, IQ , vision all trump muscle... Small crafty players turn pucks over as much as those who crash and bang, they win more battles with their mind then there physical play.

Has anyone heard if the OHA goalies are staying in Ont this year? Thompson would be better served to get some Q visibility unless he has the U.S in mind. Atlantic Canada has some solid 05 goalies...maybe a first rounder in there somewhere.
Major Midget is pretty tight on goalies with Knights having Howatt and Williams and Wild with Josh Smith leaving one spot open for Cooper,Macdonald,Thompson among others.
As per the other stuff... I like Max Sentner as a hockey player, you make great points on what he can bring a team ie: size, grit, physical play. I am sure he is a great kid too! Hopefully he has a strong year next season and makes his way on the draft board and continues to develop on and off the ice. All that one can ask for at this time.
Absolutely, I would agree, points rule the road to greener pastures. From watching drafts in the last few years SIZE and STRENGH and MUSSLE take a back seat to a small player that had to adapt to play in those top leagues by using their MIND. I love the mix of both on a team. Not saying I love the chest game of smaller players waiting for a loose puck by poke checking and keeping their distance instead of taking it off a player by finishing checks or by muscle but thats what the women in the stands like. And during this Covid I think even the bigger guys may have to start doing the same. So yes Squires will go in the 3 rd round and player like Mayo, Gendron,C.Henderson, Sentner will likely go in 4th round. Why I say Squires in 3rd round is because I think the Q Scouts will see that, Dad, coach had alot to do with his points he was able to get and rate him on more of a curve than other top talent.
Not sure if I'll see him and Squires and company playing this year or not. Hope they make a Major Midgets so I can follow them. Have you heard of a trade in Midget before? This is what i've seen in another Forum of Hockey Gossip.

I didn't think Midgets have trades...
Squires and Gendron will be gone long before the 3rd round....both are first round picks IMO....Henderson, I need to see him with kids outside of his age group, I have yet to seen him make plays outside of the powering thru people....those days are over, i really need to see him make players around him better. Mayo, have not seem him much, but i did like him at the ACC last fall, i assume it's injuries from what I have heard, which, if so, will drop his draft stock similar to Tracey and Gibbs this past draft.
It's guys making up stories...Burbidge is Valley property anyway, so that would make it a 3 team deal...lol. Woodworth will pay in the Q next season. Complete BS
Little bit disrespectful to say he got all his points because of 'dad' and 'coach'... Lets stick to just talking hockey and focusing on next season!!
Henderson played with his age group in the states last year and had nearly 90 points in 45ish games on a not so great team. He struggles playing with his age group mainly due to needing to skate around on egg shells.
Probably hardest shot, one of the best passers, can score. This skate through people that he seems to have a rep for? Obviously haven’t seen him play anywhere outside of NSMBHL. ACC is not a great reference. One of the only kids at this age I’ve seen actually hold up in the neutral zone and pass laterally to help coming to allow some entry with numbers instead of the typical get the puck, drop the head, skate as hard as they can down the wall and drive the net.
He is a type of player that a Squires wants to play with and no one mentioned this far wants to play against.
Hard to watch him play with kids his own age because it doesn’t happen that often locally. Mentioning seeing him play against older kids is obvious you really don’t know him as he has been doing that for years. Pretty sure I heard he was in a big tournament in the states playing in the 03 devision on an 03 team two years ago.
Anyway I have lots of opinions about types of players and the way hockey is going but they are just that, my opinion. I think a team needs a squires and a setner on their team because there are not enough players that have both their styles like a Gendron & a Henderson. I’d even add Pelltier into that. Actually I’d love to see anyone put a line together to play against Gendron, Henderson & Pelltier as a line. Have fun with that one!
If there is hockey, I will be watching. Hopefully they all mature into decent players, very exciting to follow and read what the hockey community sees in players and how they rate them. Every team needs a mixed bag of nuts to make a team come together as a unit. I will be doing up my list of 10 Island players as I see them in the draft next year.
I heard that Thompson is going to play I. Pei next year. Super excited to see the monctonian next year I think the prospect game is going full of skill and grit
Good points on Henderson, I did not see him last season outside ACC, maybe it's not a good refernce, maybe he was off his game that weekend, but he certainly wasn't using his teammates as much as i would like. I was not knocking the kid, just stating what i would like to see from him, in order to knock it out of the park so to speak.... if he works on certain aspects of his game, sky's the limit. According to you, he has checked all the boxes...I am anxious to see the full package.
Not all, I didn't say that. I mean, and maybe you haven't seen the way his father coaches. There isn't 2 power play lines on his team. There is Squires and 3 others players that rotate in the PP's. Squires stays on. Coach Squires has his best line and he doesn't put it against the best line on other team. He matches it up on the oppossing teams worst line. So he does try and is very successful in putting his son's line in very favorable situations. Thats all, and there is truth to my statement. No disrespect just calling it the way it is. Yes we should talk about next season, I think I over stepped on my last quote.
Was it Gendron that didn't make it on the Major team or Provincial team the year earlier. I know he has improved when I seen him play in the States but 1st round pick. i'll have to see him play this year to put him there.
I must give credit to Pelltier, he can play both sides of the puck effectively and he not the biggest but can also bump and grid with the best of them. I can see him rated high in next years draft.
HkyTalk, HKYEAST, HkyFan202 all replying to each other i'm having a hard time figuring who's saying what !
I had a feeling somebody was just having fun. Woodworth had a tough U15 last fall but he also had very little support. The kid can't do it all although he tried in that tournament. Strong on the puck, very competitive. What round was he drafted in?
If the Quote strikes a nerve than its me ...HkyTalk
lol
OMG, that must be an error. You got to be kidding me!! How did he find time to get the 12 points. Where did you see those stats? Imagine if he stayed out of the box and played 30 games...
Where do you think Aiden Cotroneo will go in the 2021 qmjhl draft. I think he is a promising top 5 pick
Haven’t seen the kid play had a look at stats and little clips wasn’t too impressed with him I put him round 6-7 or later
Ya but coach Joey cotroneo has him ranked top 5. He is offensive defence men with good hockey iq, he is smart picking moving defencemen who love to jump up In the rush. Watch out for younger brother Finley cotroneo, he is lighting atom house
