The so what is that no one thinks that the Crabs or any other team/ club is as good as they say they are because they can only do it with kids playing down a notch. It taints the wins, mocks the victories. If any team or club is as good as they say they are, has as good of coaching, is confident in their true on age players that belong in the grade, they wouldn't need to have kids playing down. Is there really glory in beating other teams when you know you can't do it in your own year or without these kids? Seems like a desperate business move to stay relevant. If the Crabs or any other teams are so strong- do it with their true age and don't stack your kids so you play down even if grade based. Might not be breaking any rules, but call a spade a spade, you will win because you play younger teams. Your kids that play down could never play hockey, they'd be laughed at for their mind set. #wherestheglory?

I think the college recruiters think they're good, based on the commitment stats. And no one cares about hockey - this is a lacrosse forum...
