I hope it happens. There are only 3 teams at Bantam Minor this year.

Well in the past when GSE has had a AAA team the Jr. Sharks have no had one in that same age group. So it doesn't necessary meant that there will be 2 NorCal 14AAA teams next year. I hope there is though.

are there enough good 04s to sustain two AAA teams in norcal?  its safe to assume gse will allow 05s to play up (they have two good ones on 12aa south...

[Mcp04]

I like the notion of it but I don't believe there's enough depth at that age group to field two viable teams that can compete with the socal teams.  Even he socal teams struggle to field two highly competitive teams with depth at that age group.  I believe that's why the Gulls lost their 2004 AAA tean


Worst case scenario is two diluted teams.  Likely scenario is sharks or GSE drops to AA before the season starts

Last time GSE had a AAA team was last year at 15AAA. They went 1-10 in CAHA. Last place. They better hope the '04 group is better than who they had at '01.

How is that positive. The Sharks AAA U14  TEAM this year isn't exactly  tearing it up.
Could it be that it' possible an "earmarked" decision ?
That seems to happen frequently in CAHA.

Hmmm yes where have we heard that name? Is there a relative on the board? Hmmm

[Strawman]

Hey maybe CAHA can make the AAA teams play all their regular season games in Vacaville while they're at it.  Anything to put more $$$ in board members' pockets!

[Nowhearthis]

Oh... a AAA "jamboree" weekend is guaranteed.

 Do you mean the 13AAA team (Will conceivably become the 14 AAA team next year)? Perhaps it doesn't matter which San Jose team you're talking about because none of them are exactly " tearing it up" Lol.



 In all seriousness, below are the current rankings of all their AAA teams:
 
18aaa 148 of 151
16aaa 99 of 163
15aaa 21 of 114
14aaa 32 of 111
13aaa 57 of 104
12aaa 54 of 103
11aaa 67 of 90


 I'd say they have two decent teams, two average teams, and three bad teams.  Probably could use, and opens them up for a little competition in Northern California. As mentioned in this thread already however, hard to imagine there are enough kids up there to pull off a second AAA team at any of the age groups.

[1hockeydad]

There probably is enough talent,  as long as they stay in Nor Cal.  Kids keep bailing to So Cal or beyond.

[Pistonkev]

Can someone explain how GSE knows they have a AAA club before CAHA has even announced their AAA teams for next season? 


Umm Laura feel free to chime in here.

[JakesDad01]

Usually in NorCal it's because a group of parents get together and decide that they are not getting enough from one club and go to another club en masse. At least that has happened a few times before.
