What AA Bantam Teams for 2018-19?

[Fowlmood]

Just a bit of sarcasm Trans.  In all seriousness, is the rumor true that the AAA 04 ducks went to the bears?

[HM]

I have heard possibly 2 Ducks and as many as 4 Kings. That, combined with coaching, should make the Bears very competitive again this coming season.

Sounds like they'll be leading the pack...congrats to them

I'll still be surprised if the talent is as good as last year.  They were pretty frightening in the 03 birthyear.

Yep. I definitely agree with this.

It most likely won't but does it need to be one of the top teams this year,


Does anyone who has a good read what to take a stab at the flights?

Not to mention that PT coached a substantial percentage of that roster since they were Squirts.  The majority of the team this season will never have played for PT before.  It's not going to be the same thing at all, but they certainly will have a lot of talented and experienced kids.  It will be interesting to see what shakes out between GSE, WW, JK's and the Bears.

Let's just hope something interesting happens this year.

Agree on the Shand point....was expecting to see more from that group but was not too impressed from what I saw this past weekend.

That is the problem with early season tournaments.  They usually only hurt a new team but, many coaches insist on doing them.

Strawman and others, which of the '05 BN AA teams might make the top 8?   My guess is the Kings or Ducks.   On a less serious note, someone told me this past weekend that the Reign BN AA will be strong this year.

I would bet none of the 05 teams will even make Flight I.  Last year Wada Wave got stuck in Flight II because they were a minor year team, even though they won States the previous year.  From what I understand that team was a lot stronger than the 05 Kings and Ducks are now.  But the rules are always different for Kings and Ducks, so who knows?
