I don't think Trevor ever had any intentions of fielding an Empire 18AA team. Rather, several of the returning players from the 16AA team that finished 3rd at Nationals last year were pushing for this idea. Since Aiken took the helm of the Ducks 18AAA team and won CAHA seven consecutive years in a row... it's a foregone conclusion that they will win yet again in 2025. Aiken pretty much has the pick of the litter of SoCal 18AAA players. Knowing this, several of the Empire kids tried to convince Trevor to make another run at Nationals at the 18AA level and avoid all the cost/travel of AAA hockey. Trevor, however, held steadfast that he wanted a 18AAA team.
