1. You don't own the kids, therefore they are not being stolen from you. 2. If your team loses one kid and you no longer can compete at the "A" level then you should be a "B" team. If your star player leaves, work with what's left. Why did he want to leave in the first place? 3. ...

I don't think many top players from big programs are going to leave A to play B1. If they do then there will be someone to take their place. The more kids that leave for private schools means more opportunity for my kids.

The smart guy says Bloomington has two associations. Some kids who live in Eagan might play for Eastview. As for the number, I don't think 60 kids will support two quality A teams let alone one. I heard that Wayzata had 80 kids just for their A pool.
