Do not post club/tryout/clinic announcementsin the Hockey Discussion sections. And one posting is enough. Pretty simple.
Lower your standards BZ and you won't be disappointed.
Looks like SCAHA (with help from CAHA) scheduling was a purposeful message of 03 vs 04 teams or upper tier vs lower with the one exception being the possible bubble teams of Mariners vs Flyers. Scores so far are 14-0, 12-1, 10-3, 7-0, 7-3. Clearly shows the difference in these ages as 03s have mostly all started their growth spurts and 04s not so much with a few exceptions. IMO this is the only level were separating the AA division makes sense... PeeWees = no contact so doesn't matter and 16s have all had a chance to level out size wise.

None of the "03 vs. 04" SCAHA games that were played this weekend actually pitted a bubble 03 team against a bubble 04 team. To the contrary, all seemed designed to be blowouts (to the extent anybody gave any thought to it). These were certainly not the games anyone at SCAHA would have scheduled if they were looking for competitive 03 vs. 04 matchups, of which there could have been some.

Let me Guess Wave 2 vs Kings 1? My point was that there's a very clear difference in these age groups due to puberty except for Wave 77 and a few others. Being a bubble team as 04 is a sign of good things to come but certainly doesn’t put you in a category of competing with the top 03 teams in the State (GSE’s, OC1, Bears, Sharks, Ducks 1 etc…). Getting beat in the Top division all year may be a good thing for development or winning the Bottom division and playing in tougher tournaments and obviously the SCAHA exhibition games may be just as beneficial. Hopefully you land where you want to so you can pound your chest. The kids probably don’t care so much. Good Luck!
Agree with you UHHHHDUHHHH maybe there needs to be a change in the way they arrange the Bantam division due to the size difference going on with kids going through puberty...however it seems that there wouldn't be that many 04's to create a division for just that age group. Also I am surprised that the Wave 77 isn't with an 03 team...he is big enough or is he an actual 03?
My question is this:Why isn't the Bears in AAA? IIRC, they've already soundly defeated 3 AAA teams in the last month... Oh wait, nevermind, just remembered about the feeder teams rule...
