lets all be honest, they were put in A tournaments to promote that they have A teams. They didn't do well in most tournaments and took beating at several of them. I don't know why parents would subject themselves to this so the program can sell parents on this being an A team. I know most of their games were not close and it is a shame that they had to go into tournaments and be embarrassed. there is nothing wrong with putting them in solid B tournaments and have the kids play competitive games. I guess when you run a business perception is everything and reality is nothing.
I think if the Stampede add some kids from the tryouts the last few days .They have a chance to be a little more competitive in B tournaments. But you would have to take the A kids that they cut from yesterday's tryouts and ask them to get to play . Need to change at least 6 kids off the team based on last years playing
The year before they won all their B tournaments, hence why they decided to move up to A.. Yes, they got beat up by a lot of A teams, but what does that say for the "other" A teams that this team beat??? I know, I know Lehigh Lax fest was not strong A teams, but it ended up being 91 white vs. 91 stampede, which means all the other A teams got beat.
I have a feeling this team will add some more players this year and be more competitive in A (but will never beat 91 white or orange).
