AA/A would have a similar format. Add relegation so the worst team at each level and division drops down a level and the Top team moves up in each this will insure that centers are run better due to the fear of relegation. So that means 4 AAA teams will lose their AAA Status and be replaced by the top AA teams.

I love this idea you should run Hockey Canada

Better than the buffoons that have been running it for the last 30 years

Promotion & demotion might help cause change for clubs by motivating them to choose their best possible teams, instead of having teams that cannot compete in the league they are placed in, all because the parents want their budding beer-league superstar to play AAA instead of A hockey, so much so that they bribe their way onto a team.

If done with a clean break from 1 year to the next it could be seamless. Maybe even lock you in for 2-4 years once you join a team unless released to avoid all the team flopping every year? so if you join a team at U10 you need a release from that team until U14. U14 and up its 2 years forces coaches to develop players as there would be less movement.

it would be nice to have a governing body that is accountable and holds minor hockey associations accountable. Wishful thinking i think.
