Right - all 4 of the players who came down from 2027 Hawks (3 with July/August 2009 birthdays and a 2010) are the reason Hawks are so good…keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better! Everyone has seen on the field, those summer birthdays aren’t giving them tremendous amounts of size and you are a fool to think that a 4-8 wk bday advantage or playing up for a year or two is giving them some kind of leg up in stick skills/conditioning in an elite level league. If you didn’t know who those players were, you would be hard pressed to pick them out from the other players because Hawks have multiple good players across all positions - and, spoiler, a significant majority have all been playing 2028 since the beginning - they just weren’t all on Hawks. Many joined last year and they picked up a few more players this year.
This post is laughable. holdbacks are holdbacks. Your kids were average 27s so you made the switch. Good for you but don’t make excuses.
You obviously know these guys. Why not just go up to them and share your thoughts in person?
Let's face it — we all know why, including you, little man.
But, sure, keep talking about holdbacks.
I don’t know these parents at all. I don’t care about holdbacks and care even less about the “but my kid has a July birthday so he’s not really a holdback” argument. One is an excuse to lose. The other is an excuse to holdback. But both are excuses.
