They should not have to… Did you see what the rats did to the E9 teams? And all they had was barely 2 lines
The Rats dismantled non E9 teams and had a close game with the Advantage who was also missing key players. Please stop calling the Knights an E9 team. They weren't good last year and they lost a ton of kids. They played only one team that is any good. The Rats will get all they need out of the league. I agree Mount is at a different level and frankly SPA might be in that conversation as well. those teams have different models than the rest and have kids from all over on their teams. I hope they are 1 and 2 otherwise they should all ask for their money back.
The rats 1/2 season team brought in players from other teams for parity
If they did it really matter? The Rats 1/2 season team outscored their four opponents 34-3. I doubt any players they did or did not bring in would have changed the outcome. Move along
I thought Rifles/Thunderbirds had auto bid into the E9.
No autos at U14
Silly coaches that sold their teams on this.
No Auto Bids? If that is true than I guess SPA and MSC are not in the e9 division since they didn't play a single parity game.
and you think they really care if they don't get into the E9? Mount is only in the league so their youth teams don't get booted from BHL. Just like last year all the top teams will cancel the games when they have to play the bums of the league. Welcome to U14 HOCKEY in the East Coast area they will most likely go with 16 teams in the division. My guess Mount, SPA, River Rats and Advantage will play around 7-8 games max.

I would say Mount is in a different situation than SPA and the Rats. Although those teams are respectable, I highly doubt Mount cares much about the E9 and what division they’re in. Go look at the Mount v E9 scores from last years U-14. They’re not out there to kill everyone by 10 goals and it is true that they remain in the league for the younger teams
