Was it a good move after all for Cincinnati and Columbus to go AAA? How will those 2 fair against the teams in GLHL? Do they have enough experience at that level?
I still can't figure out the leagues. How about just Ohio? Based on last year, here is how I see the first polls of the season--
94s top teams (in order): Barons AAA (easily strongest) Phantoms AAA (some turmoil with organization) Sylvania AA Toledo AA Ohio AAA Blue Jackets (formerly Capitals) Cincy Cyclones AAA (struggled, but added some 95s)[/QUOTE]
Agreed, but, the Cincy AAA lost half of last years team to the Dayton Bluehawk AA (independent). Cincy AAA did fill the roster with new players so should do OK, but the Bluehawks AA may be the big surprise.[/QUOTE]
Agree with most of TROLL's line-up: Adding in info above. The 4 95's that the Cincinnati 94 AAA added were from the 95 AAA team so the Cincinnati 95 AAA may fall a little.
At the 94 I would move the BlueJackets ahead of Toledo and Sylvaina, and then add the BlueHawks between Sylvainina and Toledo.
OOOOOOH A PAID coach. Since I'm new to that aspect of our youth (PeeWee 12 and 13 year olds) sport. Not meaning to sound like a smart A--. But, what does that mean exactly? Wasn't there a dad who had enough popularity with the parents of the team to head it up? Or did someone step up and convince the organization that he was the guy for the job?

Too Late, you sould like a smart a$$. It's AAA hockey, not house. Well meaning moms and dads don't quite cut it when you are at that level. Typically it means a paid non-parent who has played professionally, knows the game and doesn't make "junior" the starting center and captain or pick kids based on the "buddy" system.
1. Barons 2. Strongsville 3. Columbus - Blue jackets 4. Toledo (loss to Toledo) 5. Cincy 6. Columbus - Capitals (loss to Blue Jackets and big to Toldeo) 7. Dayton [/QUOTE]
