Black Bear Academy Fallout

[Guest]

BB Academy will have an 18U team. Also 15U & 16U. I think this was a BS post to bash Mercer, Flyers Elite and Revolution.

The 18 team did fold. That’s a fact. Revolution 18U team will now be BB Academy team. Only difference is it will not be an academy at all. Just putting a different jersey on the Revolution players.

So the team is actually still an entity. So it did not fold. The name was changed. Stop hating!

Hate?

The team they originally built did not have enough players or ultimately a coach so they folded and those players were dispersed.

They rebranded Revolution as BBA. It isn’t an academy at all. Just a regular travel team. Different rink, different roster, completely different offering. How is that same entity?

How is that hate?

Ah the black bear academy - to notch academics, I am sure ... just like in Middletown!

[Guest]

Any update on how these 'Academy" teams are performing?

[Guest]

Is that BBA you all referring to?

Early to tell how this season will go...

MHR FTW! Haha.

[Guest]

Is Flyers Elite now called Black Bear Academy?  Or is this just at the older age groups?

So confused.....

[Guest]

18U is actually Revolution. Not an academy model. Just changed name of Revolution team after BBA team folded.

16U - solid team.

15U - 11 skaters. Some played A and AA last season. They won’t finish in top 100.


1 team folded, 1 is good and 1 stinks.

So....FE stops at 14U and BBA takes over?
And...Revolution stops at 18U and BBA takes over?

They are merging a Warminster PA team with a Pennsauken NJ team? Seems odd....

According to My Hockey:

Black Bear Academy 18U AAA operates out of Pennsauken, NJ
No Phila Revolution 18U AAA this year

Black Bear Academy 16U AAA operates out of Pennsauken, NJ
Phila Revolution 16U AAA operates out of Warminster, PA

Phila Revolution 15U AAA operates out of Warminster, PA
Black Bear Academy 15U AAA operates out of Pennsauken, NJ
