^ thanks guys. It was a long month of living day to day know you could be cut at anytime.

In some ways making minor midget is hard, because each association in Calgary runs one bantam aaa team and three Bantam a teams. In minor midget there are only two teams in each association. But the really good 15 yr olds leave to play major midget aaa.

At the major midget level there is one aaa team and two aa teams. It can be hard, depending on what the kids who are cut from midget aaa do, as some of them quit because they are 17 and dreamed of playing aaa. Meanwhile some of the kids who are cut from aa also quit because they do not want to go back to community hockey.

I have heard many guys comment on how many midget 1 teams in community hockey could beat some of the aa teams.

My son was disappointed that he did not get a sniff for aaa this year, but I am not sure how successful he would have been there.

Last year he did not have a good year and playing minor midget aaa was a learning curve for him, so hopefully he will stay healthy the whole season have a lot of fun and post some decent numbers.

In midget they don’t travel as much as minor midget, but they will still have about 4 or 5 bus trips. Now I get the fun of writing the cheque......

Also laying a decent amount of hockey should allow him some free time, but hopefully not enough to get in any trouble.
