I'm pretty sure there can't be hold back excuses since they are actually checking birth certificates for WSYL - unless we are having birther controversy. Top excuses will be:

Refs (always)
Superteams
Schedules and Pairings
Coaches (not 'my' coach)
Parents (not the ones on 'my' team)
Covid

I'm excited for the boys. I know they have worked hard and are looking forward to competitive play. Let's make a great, safe and fun experience for them.
