This is my first going through this. What league do these teams play in and what other teams are worth looking at? Looking at both full season and split.
How many of the kids on the split teams are prep school kids? Do the coaches from the prep schools help facilitate the AAA team on the side or are the kids recruited by both?
Whalers 09 group won’t be strong next year as Kings. A lot of fed 09s are all staying put for another year. So Rats and Whalers will have to wait. Eagles will load up. BA should be better.
Just a handful if that are boarding prep players. Some coaches will help out finding kids spots.
E9 teams usually become stronger at U14 year as the fed is dead at this age. Eagles barely will play any Fed games next year.
E9 does not become stronger at E9. One team, and one team only in the E9 becomes stronger at U14 and that is the River Rats. Better kids from both leagues go to RR, BJE, ECM, SSKU14 or academies playing an independent schedule.
