Year after year those are the top 3 girls programs, hands down.

Wizards have probably taken over as the top notch program from Assabet. followed by Breakers. the rest has good to great age specific teams, so it is going to depend what age group you are looking for.

BSB cheated - at least at U10 but probably at other levels also. Wizards are alone at the top.

New players show up at States that were never seen throughout the season. At least get them matching uniforms so they don't stick out as much. Like I said - cheaters.

I'm not sure there is a rule about what the threshold is for non rostered players playing before it reaches "hardly cheating" vs legit cheating. I'm still tryouts to wrap my head around the fact that it's clear you think it's ok for that to occur. And we have all seen the occasional kid who forgets a jersey but I assure you I can count on one hand how many times it happened all season on my kids team this year so multiple kids in multiple non matching jerseys is a concern. However, what speaks volumes is that this is all standard and OK with you

You clearly don't know how to play on the dboard if you don't think ****** on each other's leg is allowed. This is the dboard. Get with the program the morning ****ing on the leg the better

sounds like a sore loser. no one cheated. better TEAM won.
the Breaker U10 girls were there all year and more importantly on the roster. Our goalie played all 45 games and she was great. did you notice how many players they had? 6 D and 10 forwards. why? because a bunch of them play on multiple teams so they missed games due to conflicts. Boys do the same thing so stop being a hypocrit. More importantly, let me remind you it is 10 year old girls hockey? it was a great game and sorry your team lost.
Jesus, who doesn't know by now that all caps in a discussion forum is shouting?
LEARN TO USE YOUR CAPS LOCK, MORON!
Play with the boys as long as possible the speed is very different. Jump to girls at bantams

Year after year those are the top 3 girls programs, hands down.
From taking with dads with daughters, I think BSB has a decent girls program, as do the Shamrocks at the older ages. The Islanders do well, too. I also remember some talk when there were girls threads on the Board about the Mass Spitfires out of Foxboro. I'm sure MMF can't be terrible, if that geography helps.
And I doubt Carl Grey (the lunatic he is) and the Fuscos are going to tell you to have them play with the the boys as long as they can. Whether it's true or not, I don't know.
LOGISTICALLY ITS EITHER BREAKERS OR EAGLES.

Wait, are you answering your own question? LOOKS SO SIMILAR!!!!
great post. Wizards, Breakers and Assabet are all on top. Breakers girls won at least 2 titles last weekend and I know Wizards won a bunch. I think the Wizards were in like 8 finals. seems like a great program along with Breakers and Assabet. Eagles are good across all levels, boys and girls

Did New England Pride make more semi finals than Assabet did??? Did I read the final games wrong?!

between U10 and U14 (T1 & T2) ECW were in five finals won three, BSB were in four finals won two, Vipers one for one and Eagles one for one.
First, nobody cares about Tier 2
Second, not many care about Tier 1 
The longer the girls compete with the boys is better for development however, in most cases the girls miss out on the most important part of youth sports, the camaraderie of teammates. Sure the boys are are nice at the rink and with her before and during games but they miss out the bigger picture,the true friendships,the sleepovers and the hangouts it just the nature there is always an isolation. Of course I am not talking about the 8 year olds who are only there for the NHL training but for realistic parents don't lose focus. At least have your daughter play full time on a girls team and be an alternate on boys team if they want to.

So funny cro magnon man. These young woman will be going to Ivy League and your son will be working for them. Wake up the world is a bigger place than Ma.
Stay with boys through U10 or U12 then get them with their peers. They will have more fun with the girls and when they are having fun they don't mind working hard. Keep them happy because the possibilities for girls are so much better than boys, at least in percentage of players who get scholarships or recruited to an Ivy.
Wizards are #1 program in Mass and it isn't close. But some don't think too highly of their owner.
Assabet clear #2. (What a fall from grace) Starting to make a comeback. They will be back, but never to where they were just a couple of years ago.
Breakers are #3, though they have some "interesting parents."
Spitfires are probably next. Word is their "leader" never shows up.
then the Islanders and the Eagles.
Eagles have one dominant team, actually one dominant year, but nothing else. U19 team went 7-16-1 this year. U14 19-18-2, U12 21-16-5. So 47-50-8 across their other teams. When BJE loses LR, KB, SN, MS and KT in 13 months, their program will be in the toilet.
Flames are a dumpster fire, as in Charles River.
Shamrocks used to have a good program, but it imploded last year
Falcons, Vipers and the Pride are irrelevant. Play for these teams if location is your #1 priority.

a look at average winning percentage of each tier 1 team at 12, 14, 16 and 19. Not divided by number of games because u12 play a lot more games.
ECW 74%
ASS 62%
BJE 59%
BSB 53%
MAS 51%
ECW won U14 and U19 states, BJE U16.
ECW sending U16 as an at large team, so all three teams going to nationals.
BJE sending one team
Assabet likely sending one
Breakers likely sending one
Spitfres likely sending none
Oh and ECW won Assabet U12 invitational tournament.
I stand by my not even close statement.

Agree with part 1 completely. The top girls players typically stay with the boys through U12 but have definitely moved on by Bantams. If you doubt it, look at some of the earlier posts complaining that the Breakers brought in kids who hadn't played during the season to win one of the titles. Where do you think those kids have been playing all season - town girls? Doubt it - I would bet the bank that they pulled a few girls off of their boy's teams, probably had them rostered all year since they are in the same org. They probably got their game requirements at home games throughout the season. The top girls are all playing boys as long as they can.
From U16-U10 T1 and T2
Wizards appeared in 5 finals, winning 3
Breakers appeared in 4 finals, winning 2
BJE appeared in 3 finals, winning 1
Assabet appeared in 2 finals, winning 1
Vipers were 1 for 1
Islanders were 0 for 1
This tells the story - Wizards over Breakers by 1. Poster was correct, BJE success was entirely at the older levels, two U16 teams and top U14 team were in the finals. Assabet's only appearances were also at the U16 level. Wizards and Breakers were strong from U10 to U14. Wizards seem to have taken over for Assabet and the Breakers have taken over the number two spot that the Wizards were in. Maybe karma is finally catching up to old Carl.

This is pure crap, Tier 2 is for kids who can't play or are not good enough to play with the better kids when they are the younger of the 2 combined ages, those are like the Bruins hanging a Prince of Wales banner!
I would also suggest sometimes winning the State title means you had a good weekend not that you were the best team over 7 months,

you have no clue what you are talking about, for the most part Tier 2 are the younger age group. so it is really u11 and u12, u13 and 14.
and if you look at the teams winning, for the most part you see these are the teams that are also successful during the regular season. successful being in the top 3.

Eagles have one dominant team, actually one dominant year, but nothing else. U19 team went 7-16-1 this year. U14 19-18-2, U12 21-16-5. So 47-50-8 across their other teams. When BJE loses LR, KB, SN, MS and KT in 13 months, their program will be in the toilet.
Flames are a dumpster fire, as in Charles River.
Shamrocks used to have a good program, but it imploded last year
Falcons, Vipers and the Pride are irrelevant. Play for these teams if location is your #1 priority.
Wizards are #1 program in Mass and it isn't close. But some don't think too highly of their owner.
Assabet clear #2. (What a fall from grace) Starting to make a comeback. They will be back, but never to where they were just a couple of years ago.
Breakers are #3, though they have some "interesting parents."

Agree with part 1 completely. The top girls players typically stay with the boys through U12 but have definitely moved on by Bantams. If you doubt it, look at some of the earlier posts complaining that the Breakers brought in kids who hadn't played during the season to win one of the titles. Where do you think those kids have been playing all season - town girls? Doubt it - I would bet the bank that they pulled a few girls off of their boy's teams, probably had them rostered all year since they are in the same org. They probably got their game requirements at home games throughout the season. The top girls are all playing boys as long as they can.
From U16-U10 T1 and T2
Wizards appeared in 5 finals, winning 3
Breakers appeared in 4 finals, winning 2
BJE appeared in 3 finals, winning 1
Assabet appeared in 2 finals, winning 1
Vipers were 1 for 1
Islanders were 0 for 1
This tells the story - Wizards over Breakers by 1. Poster was correct, BJE success was entirely at the older levels, two U16 teams and top U14 team were in the finals. Assabet's only appearances were also at the U16 level. Wizards and Breakers were strong from U10 to U14. Wizards seem to have taken over for Assabet and the Breakers have taken over the number two spot that the Wizards were in. Maybe karma is finally catching up to old Carl.
This is pure crap, Tier 2 is for kids who can't play or are not good enough to play with the better kids when they are the younger of the 2 combined ages, those are like the Bruins hanging a Prince of Wales banner!
I would also suggest sometimes winning the State title means you had a good weekend not that you were the best team over 7 months,
you have no clue what you are talking about, for the most part Tier 2 are the younger age group. so it is really u11 and u12, u13 and 14.
and if you look at the teams winning, for the most part you see these are the teams that are also successful during the regular season. successful being in the top 3.
As an example if you were an 03 this year and could not make the top U 14 club in your program your are not going D 1, The reason why zero wizard 03's made their big club is they simply were not good enough end of story, Breakers and Assabet had 03's on their roster
BTW your top 3 claim is nonsense as well, the U 12 Breakers were a 4th place team that had a good weekend at the Wizards expense, over 7 months they were not of the caliber of Wiz Assabet or even Blazers

Stay with boys through U10 or U12 then get them with their peers. They will have more fun with the girls and when they are having fun they don't mind working hard. Keep them happy because the possibilities for girls are so much better than boys, at least in percentage of players who get scholarships or recruited to an Ivy.

Don't forget about the superstar Defensemen, one going to PC and one to BC. They will still be there in two years. Their D will be outstanding at that time.
Is a certain elderly man in Concord out recruiting a dream team for U 14 nationals next year?
The old man's 2017-2018 U14 Tier 1 team is already a dream team, on the strength of the 03s plus the two 04s (goalie and skater) who played with them this season. As long as the coaching doesn't mess them up, which is a distinct possibility.

Not buying this opinion,
not enough quality 03's and 04's in house they need more from somebody else, if kids show up for their current programs tryouts this week, then he did not get the recruiting job done.
Yes he is.

Could it have been possible there were more Wizard players at Assabet tryouts this weekend than Assabet players?

Last year's 03 group at Assabet (on 2 teams) was much better than last year's 03 Wizard team. Most of the "new" Assabet girls aren't nearly as good as they believe, but there is one ex-Wizard who will add to the team, and the BSB girl certainly will. Let's see what the coach does with this group. It should be interesting to see who plays and who does not....and whether that blows up.

They already had the best 03 D player in house, they stole the best 03 forward and now they have the best 04 forward and a top 2 04 D coming up.
I would argue they had kids leave that were better than the Wizards forwards they brought in.

Agreed that no MA teams can compete at that level. MA hockey needs to look at MN to see what they are doing? MN was the best team. Faster, more aggressive than anyone else there.

Funny that dads of 14 year old girls are having a ******* contest over whose team is better like U14 Nattys are the end game. Maybe for CG they are, but does anyone care that the rest of the country has passed us by in girls development (or boys, for that matter).

Not sure Little Caesar belongs on your list.

So if you beat Mission and lose 1 zip to Mississagua who beat the eventual champion you can't compete at that level?
If you lose to MN by one goal then you compete. agree with Little Ceasars, probably 4 maybe 5 could have won that tournament. Wake up call for MA girls. Across the age groups, there are a few that could compete. Puckhandling, forecheck, backcheck, passing, size and speed of these girls were all far superior.

Yes, I guess that is competitive by your measure. But when you watch one team consistently win every puck battle and control the game for 75% of the game you have to question if MA Hockey hasn't fallen behind the times. Look, we are on the same side, we want MA Hockey to be stronger, but it's just not there right now. We can thump our chests, call it a lull, or have a critical look at the development of the game in MA.
Does anyone really think MA had the top talent this last weekend?

My "measure" is how does a Wizard dad draw conclusions on a Assabet Mississagua game this specific ? Please don't tell me you drove to the rink for a 9pm game to watch kids who are not your daughter???

Not Wizards dad, but - were you there? There were plenty of other girls there from other teams, watching each other play. And by extension their parents. This is not 10 yr old hockey anymore. Especially because these girls remain friends across teams even if they have changed teams.
