The obsession with the EHF and leagues in general on this board is pretty funny. But, get out and watch some games. There are some very general truths, if you care about such things. ^^Your list is not quite there:
1) Top EHF Elite
2) Top E9
3) Middle of the pack EHF Elite/E9
4) Bottom of EHF Elite/E9
5) EHF Tier 1 Black / BHL American
6) EHF Tier 1 White / BHL National / Valley Top Division
7) the rest..

Close but the reality is:
1) Top ehf elite
2) Middle ehf elite/ top E9
3) Lower ehf elite/mid E9/top ehf T1B
4) Low ehf T1B/Low E9
5) Ehf T1W/bhl American
6) The rest doesn't really matter.

This is just my experience and between 3 boys, I've seen almost all of these levels.

I'd have to agree having 2 players...that's about as accurate as this Board is ever going to get.

No way is the T1 white better then American. Maybe the last place team but that's it I know of plenty of American teams that beat T1 teams the season. Sorry to burst your bubble T1 white parent.

They're rated the same on the list, which means, I'd suppose, that they're generally on the same level give or take a few teams which are better or worse than others in either league.

Not even close, there are some BHL National teams that are better than some Teir 1 Black teams !!! Pretty much all of the American teams with the exception of the bottom two are better than all of the black teams, kid has played for both and against both !

Agreed - just look at results in JWK. 5th place American team (Giants) beat 3 T1 white teams including first place team (DS hawks) twice.

Thats a joke. or BHL is desp. X, may have 3 comp. teams in elite & prem. most in last or close to last. They couldn't even beat v.l. Their select teams are painful to watch. Had few successful teams last year, lost some good players and now most teams have tanked. They had other teams 03 & 04 move up a level and they can't stop a beach ball or tap one in. It's all there in black n white. No my kids doesn't play, didn't get cut, just fed up with this watered down hockey imploding New England

All Walpole Express teams stink...they are not even really playing hockey. If you're playing at that level...give up hockey and try something else if you want something that can occupy your time comes high school

10-15 years ago there was the Metro League and just a couple of outside skills and teams. N.E.H. was one of the first where high school kids would go to work to try to improve. . . how we all forget.

Probably the dumbest post I have ever read on here .....

This is even more proof that the Lovell boys are just in it for the money. Why would they let a local competitor in their region, especially that dirtbag? Check please.

You alright bud ?

Reality is that e9/BHL is put in panic mode. Teams being beat by EHF at all levels and even MPDHL. Subpar league. They have no solution for U14 and above as they are non-factor and terrible hockey. Their great idea of a few years ago has fizzled. Not during the talent they thought they would. Now they just simply need teams and numbers.

Great.. they can play the lower 05 Hurricanes (TA) team in BHL (the one that was at the bottom of MPHL). The elite team and coach just left the hurricanes organization so there will no longer be an 05 hurricanes team or now it will be called Total Athletics competing in the E9 parity. One or two kids will stay but since Sarg is the new 05 head coach most are gone...

That bottom 05 Hurricanes team and the 05 Express team will not even make it into the BHL !!

Ol' WN already got them in...it will be full of Barnstable town kids. Actually not sure those kids will even play for Captain Underpants/Sarg. He must have already scared them all away. Run run as fast as you can...
Someone tell Sherman to pull out while he has any $$ left...

Well if you knew anything about what you were talking about instead of spewing nonsense on here, you would know that he got them in to the parity tourney ! not the BHL, and there are teams every year that are accepted into BHL and then booted for going winless in parity, or some that slip through in parity and then get wiped in week 1 and they are kicked out ! Teams every year are planning on playing in the BHL, and then thier coach is asking who they play after not being accepted in ?? while the parents are saying, NO.. they told us we played in BHL !

go check Boch, EDGE, Avalanche programs all of had to play in valley or independent after getting smoked in parity and not being able to compete
