Notice the 1 & 2 seed are both AHF teams. Granted the DVHL teams are the Playoff winner and runner up not the season winner who get an automatic bye. With that said only Snider at AA with a ranking of 35 is better. 18AA and 16AA both Genesis teams are ranked 16th. Those are the best of the DVHL were as for the AHF they are the best in the state of PA not the league.
This could be why the DVHL fanpage is afraid to advertise clubs in league competition. Am I completely happy with the AHF in our 1st year, no. I was more pleased with the AHF then I was the 6yrs in the DVHL and hopefully the AHF will work out their kinks, which the DVHL never did. The DVHL philosophy of if theirs no competition why improve what we offer bit the in the rear. Our club fees did not change last year and pennies to the dollar this year. As far as travel and gas it was no worse then driving to the Delaware Fairgrounds to stomp a crappy team or to go to Wilkes Barre/Scranton Jr Pens to play what was usually a good game. I also know the travel distance DVHL teams had to go to play in the EJ this year, we have done both leagues in the past. Now the DVHL has a new team, the Wild. What players are going to draw from? Most of the players they will get are going to come from the Kings, Quakers, plus a hand full from Team Philly and VFC. They will weaken other DVHL clubs more than anything else. I will be completely blown away if they field as many teams as they posted, maybe one team at each level from peewee on up and a couple mite and squirt teams with the help of Elite Edge. I do honestly wish the Wild the best of luck, just feel going into the AHF would have been the wiser move.
