I gotta believe this discussion is over based on inactivity.
WPIIA? Mr. Skinner? Marketing/PR guy?
It would be like starting a new AAA team after ten good ones have already been selected. The talent pool is picked over and it's difficult to find more than 3-4 strong players. Those 3-4 players are going to have a hard time committing until you can tell them that you have 15 strong players. It's hard to develop strong players when they skate with nothing but weaker ones. I know, I know, it's about developing players but they have several Catch 22s. It's hard to recruit without a solid core. Even if they had 10 committed families (doubt it) another 10 would be a challenge. So, what do they tell the first 10?
Date of last hype, June 3rd.
We obviously have the right demographic but not sure about the need.
