Just because a kid is on Igloo does not mean he will play college. Over the years most of the kids that left Igloo voluntarily or got cut could not make another AA or even A team and are on B teams now. Avalanche has many old Black Ice players and they are a B plus team at best. Avalanche with all those former black Ice kids got beat By Express 11-2 a couple of weeks ago. Sorry college coaches don't care what team a kid is on. They turn to programs and directors they know and trust.

My bet would be less talented Express kids land in a better spot than a more talented kid from a team with less college contacts.

I bet an Express, 91 or fl$ kid will get the desired spots before anyone else. My son played for one of those three teams and it is amazing what they can do for a kid.

It happens all the time as the kids get older. Igloo ,91 and Express are so close in talent all it will take is for igloo to loose one top five player to knock them off as the number one team. Once they are not number one more kids will leave. It Has happened many times in the past when the best team for an age group has less college conections compared to teams number two and three. The best teams are only as good as their top five players. Take away the top five kids from all these teams and there is no difference between team one and team number 8. You will learn it means nothing to be on the best team. It is all about the college conections starting next year. The 2021 age group will be no different from all the older age groups and all the best kids will go to 91, express and fl$ over the next two years. This arguing now on who is the best is nonsense.
No connection to Igloo, but anyone's who been in common tournaments with Tourney Machine knows that had something like 3 1-goal wins this Summer. And, WSL may be a load of BS, but if they go and win it and keep getting invites to play up like Crush seems to have, do you really think those kids will need to switch teams for recruiting purposes?
Sorry but Igloo is the top of 2021. WHen coaches start looking at the top talent they will look at Igloo, Rich Kotite could be their coach , if the college coaches see the talent then thats all she wrote .
