Given the fall disaster, if Preds stink in HoCo and this summer, there could be a mass exodus right off the bat.
If the Preds Coaches/Directors play the best kids on the roster they will compete. If they play all 25 kids even playing time it will be a disaster. Seems the same problem as VLC. Too many kids on 2028.
You’ve got to be kidding me. There’s not a single player on Preds 2028 that would crack the roster at ML, NL, or Hawks. Not one. These games were like 12-0 at the half, and then the coaches called off the dogs. Would have been 30-0. The previous poster was correct— don’t put kids in such an impossible position to succeed, they’ll not only be discouraged, a lot of them will quit.
That said, VLC is not in the same boat as Preds. VLC was competitive by the end of the fall. Best some mid level teams and played Crabs tough. Again, it’s basically the old Cavalier team, which had moderate success in the Elite division
Wish VLC the best and think they will be good at some point, but Cavs never played in HoCo Elite for 2028. They didn’t play in HoCo in third grade, there was no HocO in fourth, and in fifth they dropped out before they played a game as I recall. But VLC and Preds will be fine if the parents give it time and don’t expect to compete in elite right off the bat.
