You guys are not really falling for this are you ? Throw this out there in an attempt to get skates to eval and pay up ??? Suckers.

Granted the team is already picked between the Hurricanes players and few elite bandits kids from last year, granted there maybe one or two spots left available in the event that a kid who is actually elite shows up, but c'mon.

between the Hurricanes kids arriving, last years Elite team and Teir 1 Team, the kids coming in from Lovell these teams are picked.... if not then you would not be trying to fill the Tier 1 white team with Crimson coaches and crimson players who cant make a town B team !! You would think the overflow from the kids from elite and Tier 1 last year could fill the three teams.

This is strictly a call out to get some kids with eval fees at Bandits in an attempt to find a few kids who can actually play, while showing DS and the bandits that you are a team player by getting them revenue as soon as you show up.

I would think that you would take those few hurricanes kids or last years elite kids to fill those spots, instead, call out to newcomers to bring cash, while last years elite kids are not looked at for any of the three teams due to promises made to kids who don't belong.

The more things change, the more they stay the same ole bandits.

Good luck AJ and DS ! I hope it works out for you. I have faith it will be better than years past over at BIA, but this is clearly a call for $$$$$

No, I don't believe for one second there have been 16 signed contracts yet. That does for the 05 and 06 teams. Why is that? Not one tier 1 player on either team is a legitimate Elite player and the Elite players are marginal at best. Both of those teams need high end elite players to move up anywhere from the bottom. So it's enticing to ono their might already be a fairly full fairly competitive team and unhappy Elite could move to. It's not enticing to know they are partially filled with mostly high end tier 1 players. So anyone who doesn't have a contract signed is at risk for being replaced by a better player st tryouts and if any of you don't believe it works that way you are foolish. You've seen one coach come on here and ask about skaters not every division. How could $50 from a few players at best be a money grab?

I will be coaching the Bandit 2005 Elite team next season. We are still looking for a handful of players for our 2017/18 roster. There are a number of existing Hurricane and Bandit players that will be competing for the remaining spots. I encourage competition and will select the best players without prejudice. I have a demanding coaching style. Any player interested will need to have a strong work ethic and to be mentally tough. Players will need to be very strong AAA or Elite players (or equivalent) to have a realistic chance to make the team. I am having several shadow skates over the next two weeks to evaluate players ahead of our March 20,21 tryouts. Please contact me directly if your son is interested. (ajsalerno65@gmail.com)

Would you consider a top 06 elite player?

I find it interesting that there is an 06 Elite team this year and these players are playing 05 instead of 06.

Interesting maybe but definitely not surprising at all, everyone should see by now that the 06 team is a typical 06 Bandits sham. Do they have a goalie yet? Half the roster is made up of EHF elite washouts that either aren't good enough or have parent problems, tier 1 players and players from a second rate BHL/E9 team and the other half will be town kids that can barely skate. Where can this program pull from? They have no player development, their Tier1 white team is meh - LK bottom of E9, Giants not even in E9, Caps suck, BSB suck and they are limited by player movement rules in the EHF. Coaches are from BSB so they probably suck. This team will be the worst Bandits 06 experiment yet. I would say I feel bad for all the families moving over there but this has been happening in Bridgewater long enough now that everyone should clearly know what they are signing up for so good luck. The only thing BB have going for them is that all the other programs in that area seem to be getting just as bad as they are. Sorry to break it to you but if you want a good hockey program you are going to have to drive north.

So, I'm not expecting a lot from this 06 team either but to say they will be the worst experiment. You either didn't have a kid who played for WN or your kid was on the 06 team before WN and can't admit that almost every kid from on the original Elite team is playing tier 1 now or barely staying afloat in the Elite world. And playing tier 1 is OK. It's thinking your kid is Elite when they are not that causes the damage. As far as the BSB coaches, it appears they have certainly done a good job coaching the tier 1 black black team so why make judgement on coaches you clearly don't know because they are from the Breakers?

They just took 1st place in Tier 1 Black.

Won T1 White championship last year.

Must be doing something right.

They would have beat 06 bsb elite no problem.
