Feeling bad for you guys... you had something special there... great coaching, great competitive teams... a little nugget of greatness surrounded by a state of “bleh”... now all that is gone... truly feeling badly for you guys. Youth hockey has become a complete and utter **** show... why can’t anyone fix it in New England???
After reading the FAQ\\\\\\\'s, I don\\\\\\\'t see how much changes. The are going to have one elite team and 3 Tier 1 teams.
because you are not reading between the lines. Now MS can dictate where youy play. If he wants kids to play elite and maybe mommy or daddy dont want to because of the Coaching (08 Group in particular), well.... you may not have a choice anymore. i know they say thats not the case but come on. If you believe that then i got a bridge to sell ya....
I am not understanding your concern. There is only one elite team within the 3 organizations today.
your obliviousness is the problem. Keep cutting checks.
Can someone less of a dbag comment what the core issue is? The three organizations have 1 elite and 3 Tier 1 teams today. What specifically changes?

Basically creating a power vacuum of players in the state to form better teams to battle outside of RI. Creating a brand while making a fortune. It is america and hockey has a huge business side.

Everyone needs to purchase new gloves,pants,bags,helmets.... That could add up to another $800. When will they have the Jersey reveal party/viewing? Don't forget the club gets a kickback from the fitting/equipment company.

here is the core issue. Teams as they consist now are done. They will move kids around to make "better" teams. So if you played for the Friars and they want that group to be the Black representative (you can only have one) then they will move kids from all three to that team meaning is you were a friar for the last 5 years you may end up playing out of mount because you are now on the silver team with other kids. so now not only is your bender competing for spots but doing so across 3 teams with the hope of landing in the Black division. now some people will be ok with that but the illusion is everyone can stay where they are under a new name. Not going to be the case.

No way...kids are trying out in each location. Kids from MA that have been playing for the WNS are not going to want to go to Cranston 5 times a week. They try something like that and people will leave in droves. Probably the same for Southern RI kids if they do it in reverse and try to send them North. At the Elite level people will drive all over the place, but with so many Tier 1 (or similar) options in the area, why would you if your kid plays at that level?

That is not correct. All teams will be provided FREE Jerseys, socks and bags for next year. That's right FREE. Only Impact would be Woon players would need new helmets and gloves.

if you mean free by way of the tuition increase then i guess your right. Free for everyone but i need another check for the difference in "tuition"
