Yes, but also playing with 03's. First half of birth year for 3's and second half for 01's. Not as much as an age difference when 02's move up to U16 next season when 1st half of 01's will also be on rosters. At this stage of the game, 1/2 a year in either direction is not as big of a deal as you m...

A little off topic but I am curious how they assign the sections. Seems unfair that the 2AA top seed gets a bye in the first round. Why don't they move one of the 10 teams in 3AA to 2AA to give them 8?

I have heard the 2002 Blades do the same thing. They supposedly have more than 20? kids in their program and rotate them through.

To slightly change the subject, let me ask a question about these kids.

Sometimes I get the feeling that US Hockey exists to publish a magazine, fund the national development program, and maintain salaries and a nice office. Please prove me wrong. This is 100% true. The only reason that USA Hockey tries to "grow the game" is to have a bigger pool of players t...

So what does this tell you? There is ample opportunity to get your kid some extra ice ice time in the Spring and Summer and continue improvement.
