Not sure if this is correct.
If it were just me, Stillwater and White Bear Lake would be AA next year in bantams.
The balance of the AA teams could opt down if they wanted.
Perhaps Rosevill stays AA.
Opting up, I would say HIghland 'yes'.
Maht - no.
That in a two minute review.
Of ocurse, I am not very strict, giving the locals more credit than others may give them.
And the districts will decide if AA teams have to play A teams during the season, if I have it right?

D16 has decided that they will.
MH has not discussed that so I am guessing the DD and DBoard will decide how that works.
D16 needs to do it if we have any AA teams just to allow for enough games without traveling a great deal more than we already do.
If D2 splits 4 & 4, it may be worth while for them to play each other to lessen travel, but I do not know the logistics.

We were asked to vote on this but all the details and potential problems / questions have not been resolved.
And the fact that what might work in D2 or D10 or D5 or D16 may very well conflict with each other.

In my opinion, that is part of MH board members' responsibility.
I may not be right, may have a different opinion than others, but if I cannot stand up and say this is the way it is here and this is the way I see it, and then take the heat of questions and opposite opinions, than I should not have the job (even if the pay is very low) (very, very low).

Want to rethink your comment after the Coon Rapids vs Centennial game last night? Five rounds of overtime for Centennial to get the win, don't think the "little guys" played like crap last night.

This only makes my point. You don't get the win for trying hard. I went to the game with my son because hes played with most of the kids on the CR team. This team didn't win a single district game all year. Put them into the B1 level and they would be middle of the pack. They just had a hot goalie. You are right, fun to watch a goalie on his game like that.

How strict will the districts be?

Within the metro, there are certainly some talented kids that stay and play for their local high schools, but there are also a load of them that choose the educational experience of a private school, or the educational experience of a public school with a tradition of winning. Of those kids that choose that experience, the best almost always choose the AA schools over the A schools - if they intend to prove they are the best, they have to play with and against the best. I agree with Bo; I don't think (for the best youth players) it'll be any different.
If he really is from Coon Rapids, he should be getting out of there soon just like the others who went to Blaine. We are have a great time. I'll send you a postcard from the State Tournament
It's that type of attitude that creates this problem--instead of trying to be part of the solution--you are part of the problem. I will be interested to see how many go onto the next level of hockey.. probably 1. I guess the end justify the means--at least in your mind.
Looks like you're the paranoid poster child.
What problem?

BadgerBob82, Where would YOU enforce a cutoff from looking at these standings?
Would any of these programs stay down... if there's the option to opt up or down? *Clue - not a one will OPT down.
Like I've said before.....
- Nothing will change and we'll be all the closer to calling it AAA
- A few lucky programs will be selected and kids will migrate there.
Take your pick because there's only two choices.
Get your head out of the sand.

Not to distract from your point, but I think some will opt down. They do now. Some Associations choose not to field A teams. In fact, I have seen complaints on this board about assocations that don't filed an A team participating in the B State Tournament. There is the perception of trophy chasing at all levels. STA is the perfect lightning rod for this.

The parents in FL would freak if the board wanted to opt down.
