Seacoast has really improved , will be top team. Warriors and Wizards will be much better , picked up some solid players . Pats blew up . Rangers may have gotten worse. Avs lost some talent. Glades should get in again. Rifles still have a good shot getting in. Did Bruins get better ? Should be a pretty interesting parity !

Good analysis mr. Curl. I know that one of the better glades players moved to seacoast. . Wizards picked up rangers and vipers forwards to improve. Assabet completely blew up. Rangers were terrible last year, with their losses I don't know how they improve. Who did the aves loose? They had a couple of players that would be big losses if they moved on. I'd add the ice as a possible contender to make e9, they've added a good mix of former Eagles , advantage,pats around one of the top 04 forwards.
Advantage Ice improved dramatically. They were one of the better teams in the BHL last year and beat Seacoast last year a couple of times. They replaced more than halve the team, had 40 plus kids at tryouts and have one stud player HW. With the loss of key players on the 05 team the 04 is the best team out of Eastie this year...
No sarcasm...just watch, the Warriors will be a top 10 team as they gear up for nationals as Bantam minors. And I am not a dad of any kid on the team.
So you're the mommy of a kid on the team? Seriously, what did they do in the off season to improve? Send the kids to Russia for some special "vitamins"?
saw that! Saves us a drive down to Raynham. Looked at standings and it was tight. Gave up only 7 goals in the 5 games and did not advance. Strange. We played Knights in Warrior tournament 2 weeks ago, very surprised they are not moving on, stronger than last year. Ice not good enough, plain and simple.
Boch wins? Good for travel, but boy is this division weak. Glades were pretty good last year. I'm sure better than the three teams that made it. But then again maybe not.

04 Level was very surprising. Glades, Knights, Patriots all missed out. American Division would beat most all E9 teams. System is clearly broken when you have bad teams grandfathered into E9.
Agreed. There are 2 teams who are a problem at this level, Rangers and seacoast. BA isn't fantastic but hopefully they improved. It's a shame that one if the better left over teams, like glades or patriots can't replace them.

BJR could possibly lose to all American BHL teams but that's it...Seacoast will compete this year, maybe not be a top team but should be in the thick of it
Glades, Knights and Patriots would all be better in the E9 than those teams. Glades will be much better than the Boch team even though they lost to them. Saw the Knights play and they are better than they were last year and they were in E9 last year. They lost 1 game so far and it cost them E9. Patriots without top player, that makes a big difference. BHL American would beat most E9 teams as OP stated. Patriots, Knights, Glades, Bruins, 95 Giants etc... to say E9 is false, most of those teams would not be in if they had to play to get in.
Organizations should be honest with themselves. Talking to you Rangers! For the betterment of the league and your own team , you should of opted into BHL. Sea coast did just that for 2 seasons & should be applauded. They have now fielded a competive team . (Hopefully)
As for teams who made it , congratulations! Stepped up when it mattered!
Really feel bad for Glades , a very good team and E9 worthy. I can only assume the travel caught up to them. AVP was also unfortunate but you can't take anything away from teams who made it. Avs , Wizards , Warriors are all solid teams and organizations and will ultimately pay the price , hopefully they fill the gap by participating in strong tournaments.
The only reason anyone would play at BJR is to call their kid an elite player. Rink is a ****hole, skills are the biggest joke going and ownership only cares about filling teams with 19 players tuition.

We should rename this thread "E3 04 Level". Hopefully at least BA improved and there is a fourth semi-competitive team.
Maybe BA will be better. Maybe the rifles will have picked up supporting talent and be less of a one player show. Maybe seacoast, boch and warrior selects are good enough to make the jump up and compete. Lots of maybes at this level, hopefully it works out and it's not a two team show like last year.

No team at any level should be grandfathered in. The system is a joke.
