Couple of points for Bored MD Dad:

1) Madlax pulled their starting attack and most of their D with 5+ minutes left vs. NL. It would have been an ugly game had ML not showed mercy.

2) Quick look at the schedules and it appears that the 28 Hawks are not playing NAL....and it looks like most of the other age groups at the club are attending. It's probably the best fall tourney with the largest demo of teams. If you don't play NAL this fall you can't be considered #1. Period. It also looks like you are dodging MDLX after NLF.

3) Preds parents are great and their kids have good attitudes. The parents I spoke to knew before the game what they were getting into and just wanted the kids to play. That approach usually leads to a decent team if they stick together.
