I think its the first year for NJ Riot North, which is just a Bergen County offshoot of the original Riot team. Bergen County has seen an explosion of travel teams - I think the talent is spread too thin. NJ Riot has been around longer and is more or less a Morris County area team. It should be the better of the two but who knows. I don't think NJ Riot won much last summer at this level, although I think some of their teams are good.

Keep in mind though that grade on grade the NJ teams will be a bit older owing to a different school calendar year. For instance, a true 2023 team from NY should have nearly its whole roster born in 2005. The NJ teams will be more akin to half old 2005/young 2004.
