Amazing to see that Wave coaches and mgrs complained and fought hard to make Flight 1 status as their original Bantam AA Flight 2 placement wasn't good enough and yet still managed to lose every single CAHA game in Flight 1. Hmmm, not sure what happened there, but curious if parents and coaches can still consider that a good investment for their kids and a chalk it up to a good year for development? 🤔
Flight2 sucks, not because the teams suck, but because the format and interconnection between the flights is a joke. I consider it CAHA's attempt to punish teams for being middling. I guess they would prefer it if there were 12 more teams in Bantam A. Given the choice of battling for a handful of wins or ties in Flight1, or winning the majority of your games by 5+ goals in Flight2, along with no playoffs, and having little to nothing to play for -- I'd take bottom of Flight1 every time, but again that's because the dipshits who came up with the Flight2 system thought they were righteously punishing teams and clubs for reaching beyond their capabilities, rather than making it a legitimate league structure.
I've heard there are plans in place to introduce an even crazier idea for next year, with a winners take all pre-season format: all the tier teams play a mini season, and only the top 8 or 10 advance to the actual 'Tier 2' season. All the other teams are essentially abandoned to a meaningless scrimmage season. It's like the people who come up with this stuff literally hate Tier2, and over half of the participants.
