What I've heard is that the Squirts coming up are going to be just as strong. It won't show at the Squirt level because the talent is split between two A teams and 6 B teams, but once they consolidate at the PW level they should be just as dominant.

Just two years ago there was one Edina A team and 4 B teams at the Squirt level.

Wouldn't even be a thought in the old model, both would have played A.

Not sure we know that - many examples of associations bypassing A to play B1. Denfeld from last year comes to mind.

99.99999999% that AC would have played A this year.

Denfeld won it.
