Supposedly (all rumor), the Team 91 U-15 team didn't want any part of the Crabs so dropped out and the Team LI U-13 team had the honor of replacing them. The score was 25-1 or 30-1 or something like that, but who's counting?

Holy exaggeration. It was 13-1. Were they overmatched? absolutely, Did they compete? absolutely. They actually won about 70% of the face offs! Kuos to those 12 YEAR olds! No one was upset. The crabs were clean an respectful. In fairness, I wouln't have wante to travel 5 HRS FOR THAT GAME EITHER.
