NYR skates didn’t impress at all and doubt they will attract anyone especially after the teams last tournament. A team you leaving out is TRW. This team will be top kids from Saints and some other pieces. Expect them to be good.

Went to the trw skate today and lots of kids showed up but level was sub par, lots of AA quality - not impressed

U10 AAA always has massive gap between the top and bottom. What I’m seeing at the skates is the gap in this age group will be a lot closer than previous years. The teams will all be competitive. Go look at the current u10 aaa standings — we won’t have that next year.

I disagree. There will be a huge gap. Just look at KSl for this age group. Outside of group A the teams are very weak and could not beat any team in group A except for maybe Saints who seem very inconsistent. Out of that group one will be WW, JRC will take their core and other better kids off other teams. Same with TM. Saints will be TRW. Then you got NATS and VK. All other teams will be very weak. They will be competitive against each other but can’t beat any of the other top teams. So gap is close within weak teams but huge against the top teams. Teams like MM, Sens, DmF , NYR , Reps, Rebels will be much weaker.

I am not disagreeing with this generally (however I dont agree with what teams you think will be good and wont... but who cares for now) But what I was saying is, there will not be a zero loss team and a zero win team in this group. The standings wont shake down the way the current u10 and last year have gone. The bottom teams will all win some games and the top ones will lose some. That is my prediction for now until proven otherwise.
