The practice went well. Coaching is solid. Not aware of any people leaving It seemed there was a full team. Plus 2 goalies. To early to tell on team chemistry. Substituting players from Ice. Would not be fair to the kids. Unless we were short handed for an event To me short handed would be not having 2 full lines of defense or middy
Think about B team is there room for improvement. And at this age there still getting hair on the B_lls.
And if they scrimmage Black Ice it always good to play the best
Athletes and good coaching. It just a matter of time
"not aware" doesn't mean it isn't happening (or already happened!) - I know one player by name that is leaving and he said there was at least one other player leaving (and they both weren't at the practice). Reasoning given was that the team was weaker than than they were comfortable with/accustomed to playing with. Doesn't mean that's a bad thing - seems to indicate that your "B team" comment is more in line with what they have. The problem will be if that is NOT the expectations (realistic or nor) of others on the team. Repeat: there is nothing wrong with playing on a B level team. BTW, 6 poles is too many unless you play the entire game in your own end! Same rationale with A! Most teams optimally look for 9 M, 5 D, 5 A and 2 G (unless you're Express, and then you just double most of these numbers!); you can add in 1 more M for LPM and 1 of your poles should also be able to play LPM.
