Bantam B Dad:
Looks like 12 teams for next season (which is up from the 8 from last year). Great to see the league expanding. Assuming that Santa Barbara will again be the team to beat?

More and more are going this route each year. It just makes a lot of sense for the kids and parents on all fronts.

Can anyone provide information on why HS Hockey "just makes a lot of sense for the kids and parents on all fronts" vs having Midget A teams?
Just wondering what the advantages are as NORCAL has plans this season to start up HS Hockey teams & get rid of all the Midget A teams. Thanks!
Puck Yeah:
Midget A only had a couple of teams last year. This is a pretty good alternative and if it keeps expanding there may (someday) be a route to Juniors and College like the MN high school leagues it is being patterned after.
Fighting Sioux:
Midget A only had 4 teams last year and they made us play at the 18 A level which was absurd, 3 or the 4 teams were competitive, While our team which was competitive was made up of primary first year midgets 14 and 15 year olds playing against 18 year olds, NORCAL on the other hand had a solid division of 16U A with 6 teams, however we were not allowed to compete with the true 16 U division at the State level.
And basically force kids to play in the at the High School level if they wanted to play, with the politics of this years scenario it will make navigating the waters a lot more difficult I for one can say I am trying to final a viable place for my boy to play this year without have to move out of state the KAKHSHL is not in our district so it is not an option for us
