interesting. seems like nobody is listing actual cost these days. are a lot of 10uaa and 12uaa kids going to leave?
Excluding 10UB players due to the struggles of the 2 21-22 10UB Players on this years 10UAA. Ditto for 12UB. Heard the following:
10UA- almost all 2012 moving up to 12U- not good enough for AA
10UAA- 3- 2012 (out of 5) leaving- 2 left are 2021-22 10UB players discussed above
3- 2013 (out of 5) leaving- maybe goalie too, which will make it 4
1- 2014 (out of 2) leaving
12UA- 5- 2011 (out of 5) leaving
1- 2012 (best player) leaving with coach/father
12UAA-almost all 2010 and moving up to 14U
Both 12UAA & 10UAA struggled this year. Best hope was top players at 10UAA and 12UA staying, but they are leaving with coaches for Flyers Elite. Coaches leaving for three days full ice a week at Flyers Elite. Igloo offered 2 days shared ice.
My prediction is we will field a 10UA and 12UA teams. No way they can field minor or major 10UAA or 12UAA teams. There may not be enough talent to compete at 10UA and 12UA. There are 2 good 10U players worthy of AA and none at 12U. Unless BF is recruiting or Mercer AAA players come back, next year will be a disaster. No Blazers players that left are coming back. The cupboard is bare and no reinforcements are on the way. Maybe Igloo plucks some Voorhees kids. Igloo good at 2009 & up, but lower ages will all struggle.
