Jack B-how many AAA applications has CAHA turned down?
Which specific kids have had their hockey development limited because there are only 3 AAA teams or because of the 2 flight system?
What is wrong with playing AA?
First, you should do some research on your own, or read the previous posts closer. A very clear picture has been drawn with facts and conclusive motives. For the 2016-2017 season CAHA did not list which teams got denied. But if you read the meeting minutes, you will see that for the 2017-2018 season Titans (2), Jr Flyers and GSE were all denied.
For me to list specific kids, that is both ridiculous and against the forum rules. Read the previous posts more closely, the numbers are given. But if you have any awareness of the landscape, you should be perfectly aware of the talent leaving California after Bantam. Not even the CAHA shills deny that fact.
There is nothing wrong with playing AA. But that should be the choice of the kid and the parent... not the governing body. If Kings want to ice five AAA teams, then they should be able to do that... and the same is true for the Maple Leafs or Vacaville Jets.
Don't lose focus... we're all simply saying that CAHA should be nurturing hockey in California. Expanding it. Not limiting it.
What exactly is your problem with allowing the market to dictate the limits? No one seems to want to answer this.
