1. SIR - Top team this year and getting better with two strong incoming players.
2. FH - Forward coming down from AA is a game breaker. Will challenge SIR if they can get better defensively.

3. VRE - Showed at the end of this season that when the team plays together they can be dominant. But others are catching up on talent.
4. TA - Will overcome the playoff collapse of this past year. Great existing talent and adding a couple of strong pieces.

5. NT - Overperformed last year but made a couple of improvements to their D. The one goalie gives them a chance to beat all teams ahead in any given game.
6. WH - I'm not sold on AA players moving down making a difference, but they had some good talent this past year and will definitely be better.
7. LF - Picked up a couple a couple of AA players coming down but like WH I don't expect it to make a difference. Also have a strong goalie that can make up for other weaknesses.

8. TRT - Standing still so expect them to slip slightly.

9. YM - Will be improved with several new pick ups and a solid AA goalie coming down. Could challenge TRT for 8th.

10. MI - Losing top scorer will hurt. Will struggle.
11. NYK - Losing a lot of players that are being replaced with select kids .

12 / 13. WH / GPR - In for a long season.

LOL. But what a great post! It could be entirely made up, but it’s a great read. I love the enthusiasm for next season. And it’s mostly positive too. Looks like us adults are maturing on the MHT forum.

I like this post!
The Forest Hill drop has been the best player in the AA loop since U10. And he'll play D every other shift, so D will improve as well.

Look, kid's just wanna have fun without being on the ice 6 times a week. And the single A loop will get even more competitive as the AA and AAA kids drop down after the draft year.

FH kid is excellent. Maybe top 10-15 this year. He’s never been the best player in the loop, and there’s nothing wrong with that. If he has a team around him, he is going to win A on his shoulders alone. Parents in this loop have to stop pretending, that with few exceptions, there kids aren’t in A for a reason. Again, nothing wrong with that. The disillusionment in this loop is next level.
