Who will take the section this year? Rankings? Darkhorses? Any thoughts?

Lee
Much like most of his political views, it would appear that Lee is correct (see the right hand side of the page where it says "2A Tournament").Can't Never Tried wrote:Great!east hockey wrote:Rogers should be added to the poll.

Lee do you have any official information that says Rogers will be in 2A this season for sure? this would be news to me.
You are correct about the co-op ending, and I know there was talk about the switch to 2A, but I have no official confirmation that it had happened, so...you scooped me on this!
I'm a bit confused about this... they were doing just fine at AA, and the co-op last year added nothing to the team, so I'm not sure why the program would go this route.Govs93 wrote:Much like most of his political views, it would appear that Lee is correct (see the right hand side of the page where it says "2A Tournament").Can't Never Tried wrote:Great!east hockey wrote:Rogers should be added to the poll.

From what I could tell, they certainly played well against some of the better AA teams last year, and they clearly did pretty well in the playoffs.Can't Never Tried wrote:I'm a bit confused about this... they were doing just fine at AA, and the co-op last year added nothing to the team, so I'm not sure why the program would go this route.Govs93 wrote:Much like most of his political views, it would appear that Lee is correct (see the right hand side of the page where it says "2A Tournament").Can't Never Tried wrote: Great!![]()

And yes I was tweaked when they got moved up because they had a real shot at winning 5A that year but once your at AA... I'd think you would stay there.

Not that it matters in regards to this, but just out of curiousity, you don't happen to know how many of the kids on last year's Rogers team were from the co-op schools, do you?
They should !royals03 wrote:In my opinion I do not think it will hurt Rogers at all to go A, I think it could actually help. Rogers should do very well in section 2A which will allow them to set their schedule up with top teams in A which are as good as playing the top teams in AA. I guess the question should be asked if teams go to state almost every year at the A level why don't they move up? I will answer that question, because the are going to state almost every year! Players, coaches and parents do not care if they are AA or A when they are playing on TV at the Excel with the chance to hoist the state championship trophy. If you are a Rogers fan embrace the decision to go A if it happens you just might get the chance to buy tickets for the state tourney this year to watch them. Now if Rogers stays in AA we need to hope for a couple of upsets by Rogers to get to state.

CNT would you rather lose in sections at class AA or go to state at class A? I guarantee if you ask the players they would say go to state and so would the student fans. Ultimately a winning team has a bigger following the players are happier and it gets contagous throughout the program.
Have you had the chance to talk to any of the players to ask them what they want? I do not know any of the kids on the team, I am just a fan of the program.Can't Never Tried wrote:royals03 wrote:Programs thrive on success not on being A or AA.

03 the only place I have a chance of winning or losing anything in this is right here on the "bored"
If it's what the players want who am I to argue it?
Go Royals!
You kidding me? Is Rogers not going to field an A Bantam team and try to mop up at the B level? Just so they can win?royals03 wrote:Programs thrive on success not on being A or AA.

Didn't they get a big one last year?royals03 wrote:Now if Rogers stays in AA we need to hope for a couple of upsets by Rogers to get to state.
I'm sure the kids best interest are paramount, and not the AD/staff!Govs93 wrote: Momentum sure seemed to be moving in one direction, and now it seems the rug was pulled out from under them.

Yep, but there's no way they're getting past Providence Academy.Bouchard92 wrote:So Rogers is officially in Section 2A for the 08-09 year?
