What's Priceless is Empire is up and coming in all age groups and will take the baby steps to get there, a tool like you most likely thinks 3-4 good players on a team is all you need to compete and win in an A bracket. Where as Empire in all age groups in younger brackets rather play in B with patience , make all necessary adjustments , work out the kinks and evaluate when the team is ready to Be like so many clueless parents want to a "TRUE A TEAM" Yes there is two teams on paper who are separated in talent , but going head first into heavy traffic has many consequences for a team to implode before it lifts off the ground.
Empire has played in both A and B divisions. The past few tournaments, including this weekend, there is only 1 2022 division. How is that playing in "B"? This team is improving, so yes, they are better than most "B" teams, but are nowhere near the top teams. Every game played at Hershey, except for maybe 1, was a competitive game. The team is not going in and "blowing away" teams. In these tournaments the other "A" teams, i.e. Ducks, True Blue, etc are also in the same division.
You are NOT a B team! You are better than B so play in the appropriate division take your lumps till you get the team that can be competitive.
