SYB has high aspirations if they believe they’ll be a top-3 team. Yes, skilled players of average size can certainly compete, but you don’t see many 5-foot players in the NHL—and this is a similar comparison.

This coming from a parent whose kid was cut from SYB. Then got cut from the team that they were going to before before they even signed.

Watching tournament hockey this weekend with the hitting being allowed, some kids are going to be in for a rude awakening. I sound say parents are going to in for an awakening. You should of dropped little Johnny to A.

The AAA drop down experiment has never been successful. Well coached top AA team will always beat a low end AAA team, book it SYB will finish 3rd or 4th

GT Caps did the exact same thing with Reps drop downs. Went from a 4th place team in the West to winning it all.
