All the 18s are regretting AAA and declined bc there's not enough players. It was a MONEY GRAB by CAHA to keep 18s local, but the failed as always.

Tried to buy all the rinks and consolidate thinking everyone will want to be Ducks, Sharks and Kings. Then once in the system parents are realizing they do a terrible job developing and see that they need to stick to their bread and butter which was recruiting all the good talent and consolidating them onto their top teams.

Empire decided against an 18AAA team. 18AAA Reign still had some spots. Pats was able to field a 18AAA but not sure how they were going to do at the AA level..

« Last post by vrspartak on July 07, 2023, 12:27:06 PM »I hadn't heard about Flyers 16AA folding. Any word on why? Seemed like they had a birth year AA team for each year so surprised they couldn't/wouldn't field one along with the 16AAA.
I know a lot of 07s and 08s from Flyers went to the Bears...not sure why but I do know that is the case. Flyers did have an 08 birth year team last year, but I believe several of them are on the bears 08 AAA team. Not sure what happened with the rest of the kids.

« Last post by hockey72 on July 07, 2023, 07:59:08 AM »For AA, I only know of the Flyers not being able to put an 18AA team together. What other club couldn’t pull together an 18AA team that had one last year? For AAA, I think one or two teams from last year decided to not have AAA but not positive.

« Last post by hockey72 on July 07, 2023, 07:46:07 AM »For the Flyers AAA, I believe most of that team left to go to other clubs. I heard tryouts were soft with not a lot of kids showing up so not sure how many signed. The 16AA wasn’t strong last year which is why they didn’t make it past preseason/playin so not surprised if they can’t field a team this season. Rumor was they were going to maybe combine the 18AA with 16AA to make an 18AA but I don’t think they were even able to do that. Again, grain of salt as I’m not positive. I hope I’m wrong and they were able to put teams together.

« Last post by vrspartak on July 06, 2023, 02:29:46 PM »They have a 18 AAA team and trying to do an 18AA as well. They’ll still have a 16AA. It’s all been out there- hasn’t been quiet.I heard Pats 16AA (07) lost most of their core players which made it a bit difficult to build a team. Anyone know much about that?
Heard that as well but also about other clubs too. I know Flyers 16AA folded, and 16AA Heat were needing bodies too. I know many kids left the state, maybe some playing AAA....numbers dwindled.
