The goal is to break all AAHA approved leagues. BB is playing the long game while AAHA is just trying to hang on. BB will be successful killing AAHA and giving control bacl to rinks. Killing USA Hockey is the ultimate goal.
Looks like you are wrong. USAHockey is winning. There new NDL will kill Academy teams who now must recruit mainly from the district. I do think BB Academy teams will stay Tier 1 and BB will apply for a NDL team at another BB Tier 1 rink, basically killing Tier 1 at that rink. I think BB will shut down Revolution to get rid of 1 district Tier 1 team. They will then make Mercer a Junior and NDL rink, closing down that rinks Tier 1 teams. This will allow BB to keep FE and BB National Academy as Tier 1 programs that could feed Mercer NDL. I think the AAHA will shut down other Tier 1 teams- VF Minutemen, SWB, Lehigh Valley, Whalers, and Red Bank. That will make 7 Tier 1 teams gone from AAHA. Change is coming and not just teams leaving for AHF. This is the biggest shift in hockey in a long time. There will be a lot more Tier 2 kids available after the Tier 1 purge comes. that means a ton of Tier 2 AA kids will be relegated to A level.
