"There are question marks because they aren't on the same level as M&D, Hero's or Coppermine from a team perspective"

This is just an opinion based on feelings and not facts.

Even if you don't follow other teams closely (which is to be expected) you can pretty easily look up scores in the rankings.

I have no idea how good the new M&D goalie is (formerly Integrity) but did she knock off a M&D goalie or just take a 2nd goalie spot? MDU already had two goalies, both are established and play equally.
