That's your mentality. Simply stated by your first initial response. You must be a millennial because you take things so literal. you know what's being discussed here you [ChillLaxin]. Girls with a birth year of 2003 graduate in 2021 and girls with a birth year of 2005 graduate in 2023. It should be a birth year thing for each of those respective age groups. Oh wait a minute ..it is with the Nationals , and that's why the teams from Maryland do not show up. You would have to send teams up that aren't used to playing with each other because there are girls who would not qualify for that tournament does having to play with replacements. If you wanted to debunk that... go to Nationals. Until then deal with it. You know so much about hockey which means you probably travel everywhere for it ,yet you won't travel 3 hrs for a tournament in the next state. I'm not buying it. I know there's a three-month cutoff difference but the simple fact is there are girls who are up to a year older on those teams.
