Haven’t heard anything yet about DVHL, but AHF is quick to post on social media when they poach other teams, especially from the NJYHL. Can’t imagine the DVHL or  NJYHL existing much longer unless something changes. AHF isn’t perfect but they have the volume of teams to make for competitive games.

DVHL January meeting is tonight.  Will be interesting to see how next year shapes up. 

DVHL prior to the AHF team splitting off wasn't perfect, but the travel wasn't so bad.  Most games were less than an hour and once in a while we had to make a longer trip (York, Wilkes-Barre, Harrington).  Really not to0 keen on having to travel long distances for leave games.

Really hope that the DVHL can continue to play without having to merge with NJYHL. 

My son's team is also playing EJ this year, and hate having to travel to NJ for games and showcases.  Also really don't need to have a 50-60 game schedule.

If the DVHL does not merge with NJ, consider it dead along with the clubs still in it.  Genesis must be scrambling now that they were denied AHF.  Parents will certainly not put up with another year of this crap.  Kids with talent (AA) are not going to develop by playing in watered down divisions.  Several of the AA divisions in the DVHL were MOSTLY composed of A-level teams.  So, 2 or 3 teams would crush the remaining 6-8 teams and no kid is served by that model.  It is really that a program that is as healthy as Genesis is going to get gutted if they don't figure something out soon (like in the next month).  A merge with NJYHL is the only way forward as I doubt going independent is something anyone in Genesis is interested in.

Is this speculation that Genesis was denied entry or is this a fact?

"There is no rift and you will most likely see Genesis in the AHF next year."
"I thought there was a rift between Genesis, Delco and Team Philadelphia whos owner is an officer or something for the AHF. Something about Genesis and Delco putting Team Philly on a probation period after Ice Line did the Quakers dirty. If that is true that could carry over to them joining the AHF but I could be mistaken though."
looks like this comment from the rift post seems to be accurate.
