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.

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.

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.

What about Pats?  Haven't heard anything from the team that went to Nationals..
