I don't think anyone didn't think AHF wouldn't have a path to nationals, someone pointed out TP and it's owner, which is where my boys play, wouldn't join if they couldn't send their teams to the tourney. My question is how long until AHF decides they don't want to pay to be part of USA Hockey. They're already running ref clinics outside of USA Hockey, and the pace they're collecting rinks and orgs, already said screw off to local districts up and down the east coast and mid-west, and at T1, how long until they say the same to USAH? With an 18U and 16U it will be after my time but youth hockey is going to look very different.
