Where did the players go?
Guest:
Last year there were 103 bantam/13AA teams in the AHF. This year I’m counting 49 bantam teams and 17 13AA. These numbers are from the teams on the parity schedule that was just released. The number of teams is way down from last year. What gives? Did clubs really leave the AHF? Did players go back to Dvhl/Njyhl clubs? Do the partial season teams participate in the parity tournament?
It looks like it’s the same in all age levels.

The parity weekends are too early for Maryland and VA teams. We cannot begin tryouts until weekend of 4/22. Teams and levels aren't known in enough time to enter the parity weekend.
Guest:
Not saying that you are wrong but you have to compare to two years ago. So you would compare the bantam numbers this year to peewee numbers two years ago to figure out if kids are dropping out.
Guest:
Its an identical number of teams as last year. That's what they are saying with their declarations to the hockey directors. A lot more AA teams and fewer B teams but same number in total
Guest:
74 bantam teams combined in the parity. Add Maryland/Virginia and you will reach around 100
