Facts are BBNA gets most of their players from outside. Very few FE kids have advanced to the academy team at 2009, 2010 or 2011 birth years.
Also, with all due respect to the kids and coach, the 2012 team is not better than many of the local AA teams and the schedule they play is bottom of THF, not more competitive than what you’d get in AHF. Why would anyone leave a legitimate tier 1 program for this?

What is a legitimate Tier 1 program? Seems LF, JrF, VFM, and other 2012 AYHL teams have major issues. PHC & Avalanche are the only AYHL teams that look like they will be top 40 in MHR. I am told a lot of 2012 THF teams have benefitted from AYHL defections. As far as FE is concerned, I am told they actually have 5-6 kids from 2012 age targeted for BBNA. The issue is the other part of the roster. I am also told CK overhauled the entire program to get more BBNA coaches on the ice with FE teams. Will this make things better? Only time will tell. For now, I will keep my kids at AA and visit FE for maybe the best power skates around!

Will love to see what 2011 FE kids play for BBNA. I have to imagine, 0

If the coaching is fantastic why is an overhaul of the coaching staff needed?

2010 team had no talent at all. Maybe 1 kid could have made it but he left for Prep School. BBNA recruited with that in mind. 2011 has 3 FE signed to BBNA not 0. So you are wrong on that. Good luck on your next prediction Nostradamus!

Everyone must be living under a rock. These debates over AYHL/THF, weak tier 1 programs will all be over soon. The entire purpose of NDL is to shrink tier 1. Most of these programs are going to lose tier 1 status or just disappear altogether. Only the strong programs who do not get NDL will survive.
