Any news about the newest crop of AAA teams? Same old same old or are there some promising "other" programs?

The 02 Miracle Gold took it to the 02 Monopoly pretty good the other day...8-1.

The Machine are a very strong team. Not sure how they compare to the Blades or Magicians etc. Obviously the Machine are in the hunt if they can beat the Bauer Selects.

The Blades looked ok at the Meltdown. They ended up 2nd for the tournament, but the championship could have easily gone their way. Synergy was probably the 3rd best team but got manhandled twice by the eventual champions the WI Flyers. The other local team the Bauer Vapor got worked over pretty well by the Blades and Synergy, but did crush the weakest team in the tournament.

HD41 -- do you have a son on a 2002 team? Assume so, since you created the topic, and based on the teams in the Meltdown, not much reason to go watch unless you had someone playing in it

Looking at the 02 draw in the Stars and Stripes the one pool looks to have proven teams in it and the other pool seems to have some no name teams...at least to me.
Pool 1
Machine
Parkwest Predators (no clue)
Yorkton AAA (only Yorkton I can find is a town in Saskatchewan Canada)
LA JR Kings (obviously a known organization)

Pool 2
Bauer Selects (top end)
St Louis Elite (was a competitor last year in the S + S)
Manitoba 2K2 Warriors (won S+S last year)
Magicians (known organization, not sure on ability)

May not see the top 4 teams in the medal round with the pools like this. Makes you wonder how teams get in the Elite division when they is an Open division that they may be better suited too. Unless they have qualified themselves to the organizers.

You know what they say about assumptions....

I have a 2000 kid and I had a chance to check out the 2002's because we didn't want to run back home between games. I don't have a 2002 kid.

Appears kind of one sided. Is the 2002 Miracle Gold a pretty good team?

Watched 99 mir gold play skate to ex tonight. Gold looked good. they won 8 or 9 to 1. They have three kids off the Edina squirt team. A fast forward from North Branch. A very nice 99 team.
