CT Rangers tier 1 team also went to the Q...

EHF should do the right thing for the kids and make BLACK 12 teams WHITE 10 teams and SILVER 8 teams. They are not losing any money this way (30) teams. Anyone with knowledge of hockey should be able to ascess that there were about 14 teams at parity that could easily be in BLACK. Friars, thunderbirds, Prov Caps, islanders tyngs, all are black teams.
Step up EHF and do the right thing

They only made 10 teams at other div in EHF- They would complain. But 04 was legit with how close some team were. They should put 12 in but they wont

They won't do anything about it because the cheating clubs are founding members! Plus Tier 1 is a cash grab, if it were about the kids they would play parity in Sept over three weeks, everyone plays each other and then play 28-30 game schedule. It is the the only thing that the BHL does right!
They way they have it now, on top of charging 30 teams league fees for 3 divisions they get paid for 2 Parity round Tournaments! Keep it real Fed! Every dynasty fails because of arrogance

GIVE ALL THE KIDS TROPHIES!!!

Thunderbirds, Caps and Islanders Tyngs are NOT black teams.

How about a more realistic Black 8 teams White 14 teams and Silver 8 teams because that is a truer demarcation of talent, with the majority of kids being average and in the middle of the pack, a few kids above average and a few kids below average.

Black 8 teams
White 8 teams
Silver 14 teams

Black division plays each team in the Black division 5 times = 35 games
Black division plays each white division team once = 8 games
Total games 43

White division plays each team in the white division 5 times = 35 games
White Division plays each team in the Black division 1 time = 8 games
Total Games 43

Silver plays each team in the silver division 3 times
Total games 39.

Don't use logic here on the DBoard.

Looks good.

South Shore Kings
Northstars
Islanders Hockey Club
Minuteman Flames
Woonsocket North Stars
Boston Jr. Eagles
Providence Jr. Friars
Greater Boston Vipers
North Shore Shamrocks
New Hampshire Jr. Monarchs

Kings win the division...Islanders win the playoffs.
Top 8 teams compete well. Last 2 teams don't win a combined total of 12 games.

May the fun begin.

Guys, let's not forget that the E9/BHL parity at 2004 was bungled last year as well, and it made for a weak E9. Things happen. I just wish they would be more aggressive moving teams mid-season between Black/White, White/Silver, or E9/BHL the way BHL moves teams from American to National.

Friars could be the weakest team in Black. Over and Under for wins is 5...

Wouldn't be surprised if this lineup is not final.

No chance they change the 10 team formats...

Did the Islanders pick up anyone?

I saw the Islanders at parity and they had a couple of kids with different gear out there so I'm assuming they picked up at least a few. Couldn't tell where they were coming from though.

Parity this time of year for next year is awful!...Can we agree that the Valley League handles parity the best? However with the early movement of teams schedule can't be set at beginning of year...

IHC picked up a couple of E9 skaters and a goalie. They looked real good at parity right where they left off from last season. 1 point last season and IHC would have made a deep playoff run last season.

With the 04s why aren't we doing this in the fall when they can check and the kids that are playing as "alternates" would have conflicts with their regular team. I know, it's just about selling ice.

Although the concept of parity is a great idea, in practice it is very flawed especially when the rules of the game will shift dramatically next year. On top of the change in checking, the gamesmanship of playing with the rosters will only serve to broaden the gap. Having the team split regionally makes a lot more sense than anything else I have seen so far. As for drawing a line in the sand based on a random number (10), that's as silly as the E9 concept.
