PW AA 2019-2020

I think the big surprises for me were performances of Flyers and both Goldrush teams.


Flyers do not deserve a spot in flight 1 based on last weekend and GR 2 deserves a spot in flight 1 and GR 2 possibly deserves a spot in flight 1.

Flyers are on the bubble.   A talented team but play down to their competition.  GR2 is a good young team  that plays well together but they played some inconsistent teams and should stay put in flight II.   GR1 got smoked by Kings1, played some dogs with fleas and tied a Bears team that didn't take their schedule seriously after they beat ID1  easily 3 to 0.   Both GR teams are flight II.

per my friend, sounds like one flight...

One flight with 23 teams or are several dropping?  If only one flight need to get down to 17 teams.  There were 6 that did not belong.

correct, i'm told six got the ax

Rumor is 16 teams.


Still, even with that bottom 5-6 teams will have minus 50+ goal differential by the end of the season, IMHO.

Agree, still at 16 it is too many.  Ideally for the top teams it would be 10 teams to play more competitive games.

So 18 So Cal teams just paid for a Labor Day trip to San Jose and skipped tournaments so that CAHA could figure out flighting is unnecessary?  That’ll go over well.

[alfirst]

Yep, so looks like flighting was not that bad after all.


There will be tons of games this season (if that's the case with 16 teamer) where better teams do not develop and worse teams do not learn

What 6 teams will be asked to play PWA?

Interesting how much movement will happen in those six teams being sent down.  Teams have to release all players and re-sign with club basically, all are free agents.  If true, an unprecedented move in california youth hockey.  Good move.

Can someone explain to me how that '09 Goldrush team beat that GSE team? I never saw Goldrush play but have seen them in the past but did see a very impressive GSE 2 team. I thought they wouldve been rocked to be honest but good for them.

I think the GR goalie stole that game.
