But yet you couldn't put a competitive A team on the ice. So size does matter, doesn't it? Congrats on your State trip and you will see Size matters there as well.PL-Patriot wrote:no i didnt look at all of ur comments but im sure there all great
I play for Pequot Lakes most of u dont no what team i am. my is a total of 13players and 1 goalie
We r going to state
We have no A team or B2 team just us 14 we've only lost 5 times this year
Most games we lost we didnt come to play out of all lost 1 i would say was because of they had A, B1, B2 and that game end 3-5 (5th goal empty net)
i say that size dosnt really matter
but we will see in state

Numbers, Numbers, Numbers. I guess if you have 300 players trying out vs. 60, you are going to have deeper teams. The huge associations dominate the B1's because their average guy, is much better than the average guy in the small association. Depth is very important, but you can't look past the importance of having 3 or 4 STUDS per age group. When the numbers are high, a metro team can put a few good years together, but Roseau, Grand Rapids, Duluth East can find those 3 or 4 studs from each age group and compete if not outplay a lot of the huge association year in and year out. The question is... if you get another 200 players trying out for a team... do you really get more studs? You have the probability of having more studs... but the truth is you really only need 3 or 4 great players per age group to put together an excellent HS team down the road, and the smaller associations with excellent coaching and traditon, can find a way. Numbers = important.... but don't forget the studs.

Old Topic re-hashed and re-applied...
It's been a while since I logged on and I wanted to get back on my soap box about multi-tiered SQ PW & BTM levels generally based on club size as the solution to this argument. Page 7 Topic: Developing Skill Sets provides the answer for both sides of this dispute. It's time we updated the stale A, B, C format and bring this thing into the 21st century.
