Wrong. My LI team has three kids that don't qualify due to age. They are not part of qualifying or playing obviously. Too bad as two are summer birthdays and just miss out. And yes, we are part of that top 3.[/quote]

So you aren't adding anyone to replace them? I do believe a LI team is more likely to be a pure regular season team because of your later Kindergarten and the skill level, but they are definitely in the minority. I know the LI Express team last year had a couple of borrowed players, I don't think 91 did, not sure about S2S.

As someone who has gone, it's risky to go without the max 25 (23 field and 2 goalies) into a qualifier because if someone gets hurt or has financial issues or any number of other problems it could create a hole for you and if they didn't play in the qualifier, they can't play in Denver....
