18AA favorites for upcoming season?

[Guest]

All this back and forth whining over a tier 2 team.  Yes they have some good players and will most likely go to nationals at Tier 2.  How many of them got tendered?  How many are going to NCAA hockey?  Enough already.  They will make good beer leaguers in a few years. 

As well as most tier 1 kids

^ exactly , there are many many kids that I know of personally who have been offered tier1 spots that's simply can not afford it , even with free tuition the travel expense is still unreal , youth hockey has become nothing more than a status symbol for most parents its not about the kids anymore and its really sad just look through the threads on this forum its nothing but grown men and women bashing children of all ages its a shame

Is it true that Blazers U18 made it all the way to the Championship at Nationals and only came up one goal short of winning the Title?  Plus, I heard they were mostly minor aged so they will return a large percentage of their players.

wouldn't most U18 be in their minor year (in this case '04) yet still graduate HS and go off to college?  I guess they could have some returning '04's to the team, I know other clubs are in the same scenario, but we're not talking entire teams coming back.

Ha, "is it true"? What a troll. Uh, buddy, this information is readily available so pretty sure you know it's true.

Nationals arent what they used to be. Looks like there were 3 different 18uaa groups ABC and within those groups 2 divisions. 3 teams won the 18uaa championship. Not like it used to be when there was 1 National Champion.

USA hockey has gone to participation trophies, way too many teams, bring back the days of 80’s and 90’s

HAHA long trip for nothing.Sound a little frustrated but that's the facts. Used to be 10 teams and 1 winner. Now 30 teams and 3 winners at 18AA. Weak.....PS you know the Genesis goalie who you guys called nothing but an A goalie. Just led his AA High School team to the SHSHL..FLYERS CUP ...and STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

If it was 10 teams and 1 winner they still would have been silver since they played in the highest bracket. Water down is the 2A and 1A, not 3A.
