BUT, somehow you liked the A-B1 model of the mega associations having top 15 on an A team, then 16-30 on a B1 team? Talk about the continual masacres!
You want my plan? Very simple. AA-A-B1-B2-C. EVERY association will be forced to do the right thing by MN Hockey. There. Simple as that. Do the right thing.
Your problem is you have never played a sport in your life, let alone hockey. You think your son is a super-star locked into a black hole association. You have found AAA summer hockey to your liking. So you think everything else is wrecking your kid's development. You don't care about the entire program from AA-C. You only care about your kid and how this may or may not impact him. Yet, you are too stupid to know what the real effects will be. So you throw darts at everything.
You have no plan! Any plan you could think of would only involve your kid. To heck with every other player in the state from Mite-Jr Gold. You're too stupid to know how stupid you really are.
If I was smart like you, I'd insert the banging the head against brick wall thing here.
You had me thinking you were getting somewhere the first couple sentences and then........
Over 10 years then?
At minimum, in the old model, there were multiple B-1 teams. And how is this new model not making all levels worse? The mega AA cast of characters will remain the same and all lower levels will become more lopsided, right?
Have MNH be dictator? Right thing?
I was on cheer squad in high school.
(actually played professional football.. didn't make the bigs cut though).
Again, my kid will play AA this year. I simply see how this new model will hurt every association other than the biggest 3-4.
"Two A teams after a certain amount of kids" is the best I've heard so far. Hats off to Edina this year for having two A teams. They'll be all the stronger.
