I 100% agree with you. It’s is cheating plain and simple. Playing down is bad enough, but, when you have coaches, players and parents that condone the behavior what does that say about the integrity of your program? NOT much! I’m glad Igloo Black Ice beat them! We don’t always agree on the island, but at least we have pride in the sport and our reputation. If a team wants to play up and get tested, that’s one thing. At least they know what they're signing up for. But, to willingly and knowingly allow 8th graders to play in a U13 bracket wreaks of desperation and is absolutely pathetic. We caught the last half of the Cannons vs. Cyclones game. There was a huge size difference between them. Have to give them credit, they hung in there.
