As far as Indy is concerned...I think the Indy Gold will be a toss up. They have a coach new to the area. I think he is from Colorado. The kids are all talented, but are from several different teams last year. I did get to see his tryout and first practice, and it was very fast paced and exciting to watch. So it should be interesting to see what happens there. The Silver has a lot of raw talent on it, and should be good if it can be developed. The Bronze has a good goaltending duo, and a good core of kids that can play at the high A1 or A level, so they should be able to be competitive at that level. In all it should be a good year for Indy, at least in the Bantam category of the Buckeye.

Is the Dayton Bluehawk AA team mostly made up of players from last years PeeWee team? If so they should be a tough team to beat also.

Now that the season is underway, how about some predictions on the Bantam "A" divisions.

As follows is how I see it shaking out.

Hoosier Division

1. Evansville
2. Centerville
3. Bloomington
4. Columbus IN
5. Indy Bronze

Bluegrass Division

1. Butler County
2. Indy Silver
3. Cincinnati
4. Fort Wayne
5. Sylvania
6. Newark

I see the both divisions shaping up almost exactly as Zamboni has them listed, Centerville and Evansville could be flipped. The November 17th games are the 1st meeting of the two teams. It looks as if roster depth may be the diference in most games.
