Most of the Fall leagues have become watered down just as the winter leagues have. Still plenty of good hockey but definitely watered down.

So Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer leagues are all watered down...Got it! Hockey is bad..OK!

No. Not bad hockey. Good Hockey. Talent not as concentrated as previously. Too many fall teams( and FS Midget), too many fall tournaments, too many people wanting to make a buck ( not that there is anything wrong with that). In some ways the amount of "Good" players is greater than ever, just spread out = Watered Down.

Does not fit your narrative but that is what I am saying. You go tell that mean ocean.
