So does 91 dress all 30 for the game? Or are the “practice players” in sweatsuits on the sideline like the scout teamers at ohio state
Great question. Every time I have brought it up here, the response is that there's no such thing, this is all falsehoods, everything is amazing at 91, soon to be elite.
Seemed like a lot of kids didn't get playing time on Sunday.
This is how 91's youth teams are run. Big rosters, drop-in players during tournaments, and about half of the roster gets "real" PT while the other half, according to MM, is "getting developed." There's some truth to that, and some untruth to it.
Pro: A kid that barely makes the roster, through the year, has a chance to grow and prove himself. Some kids take the opportunity, most don't.
Con: It could be argued that this is a fantastic fundraising ruse for 91, knowing 1 month into the year that you'll convince the bottom half of the roster (who pays in full) that they shouldn't return to 91 the following year. Which is why you see 91 helmets at A-level tryouts among the 2028s, and why the 2029 T91 squad bailed out and went to Predators without even knowing what Predators would be (or wouldn't be).
