I know the Kings bring in from all over the state, country and am hearing even north of the border for this coming season.


I just don't get the logic of granting the teams with the "most registered hockey players" Tier status.  The most A and B players doesn't add up to more As.  Add to that, the basic geography failure from this plan and it just seems to hurt California hockey more than anything.  All SoCal Tier 1 options are either on the far south end of LA County or outside it altogether.  Windshield time continues...

I think it was about a decade ago USA Hockey tried to get associations to only offer Tier I teams if they were actually developing the pool of hockey players as motivation to grow the game and grow players from within to focus on development, rather than letting other associations develop and "steal" those players later.  If the last few years CAHA has gotten away from that, this sounds like its a move back to the intent of USA Hockey from the early ADM days.
