Re: 16 Year Olds

I probably worded it wrong I meant Chatham AAA DEVELOPED PLAYERS.The issue is why Chatham signs these kids when in their minds they are not worth investing the time to develop these players.

Re: 16 Year Olds

This is not about naming players so you can try to discredit them.It is about the number of Chatham players who find themseles playing in Leamington .Chatham AAA and former Maroons who I do not think you could say they would not improve this team!!!

Re: 16 Year Olds

The league is to blame for this if management allows not to regulate this type of behavior it will only hurt the young talent.Chatham is already feeling the effects of it,s behavior losing top prospects to the FLYERS.I guess they hope to buy more talent trouble is not to many want to play for bad or...
