Beast is the most impressive team as of recently. Won 9 in a row, including games against VP and MNS.
All 3 FT, MNS and VP are loosing momentum but still strong.
TE, HVS, TW and VR are solid teams that are improving through the season and still have 9-10 games to improve their league positions.
ST will finish lower than their current spot, below some or all teams of the above mentioned group.
Unexpectedly Duffield showed that they are not outsiders and are capable of winning. A team to be afraid of in the playoffs.
WML is the biggest disappointment of the season.
MT and MJ will probably benefit if they merge into 1 team and go to A for a season.
Can anyone do this for the East?
is there any team to look out for?
Will it be a NT/NYK eastern final ?
Will TR move up in the standings after the Head coach left it up to the parents?
East has 4 clear tiers.
Tier 1: NYK/NT. Neither team is great at scoring goals, but both are puck possession dominant.
Tier 2: SIR - big, aggressive, fast, but a step below the top 2
Tier 3: LF/EE/WH - can beat the best on their best day, but still a step behind the top 3 teams.
Tier 4: Who cares. These teams are trying, and I hope the kids are having fun, but they aren't at the same level as any of the top 6.

Can add that WH have a great coaching and development. EE are not high fliers, but kids, parents and coaches are very friendly. So, if your kid is not very strong and looks for development- go to WH, if he wants to have fun and be in a good environment- EE is your choice.
If your kid is top AA level- go to NYK. but in this case most likely Louis has already spotted your kid and contacted you)

If top AA, why not go to NT? They are better than NYK.

I don't think the Tier 4 teams are having fun. Losing the majority of the games is not fun.

WH coaching is 100% top in the east if not the entire G. Very much out performing the roster of kids they have and still room to grow. Wish we went there instead of SYB

Yes, Beast look good right now. 11 is a top 5 fwd in the league.
VP short bench is causing problems late in the season the kids are gassed in the third. All around they are probably best team but their goalie is really bad and they only have the one. Hard to predict how that plays out.
MNS has a fwd problem other than 19 they just dont have enough kids who can score. They have two of the best D in the league and an excellent goalie. Their second goalie is just as bad as the VP one.
VR, TE, HVS are all mid teams who sometimes rise to the occasion by accident. Wolverines better than them.

Nobody else is in the mix.
You missed FT. Pretty sure they’re in the mix. MB has the best F in the league forget top 5. TW is not in the mix at all nor better the TE or VR. My guess top 6 when season ends:
VP
MB
MNS
FT
VR
TE

Not sure whether NT is better than NYK, but it's a good team for sure. But they are not open to kids from outside.

Not sure whether NT is better than NYK, but it's a good team for sure. But they are not open to kids from outside.
Accurate take. NT is very insular, and typically only have kids who started with their program young. Not sure whether they have more talent than NYK, but they've been together as a group for 4 years now. They pass and play very well as a team at the U10 level.
