Spring Thaw had a six team 2027 division, with three intact HoCo Elite teams (Hawks, MadLax, and Crabs), plus three national or regional all star teams. As a Dad of one of the three intact Elite teams, I was initially disappointed that the three Elite teams did not play against each other, but it actually was better to go up against the all star teams to get ready for the HoCo season. MadLax and Hawks had all close, intense games against the all star teams, and got a win and a tie. Crabs had a close loss and two bigger losses. I would not consider any of those results a surprise. I expect MadLax, Hawks, and a couple of other teams to have some epic battles in HoCo this spring.
