Canada and USA high schools differ in enrolment. All 1998 born players in Canada are in grade 11 which would make them a 2016. In USA a Sept to Dec born 1998 would be in grade 10 and a 2017. So Canadian kids born between Sept to Dec 1998 are technically 2017's. Some Canadian club teams come down to tourneys with full rosters of 1998 born kids and play in 2016. Only to compete against 1997 born players and some 1996's that have reclassed.
How are they technically 2017`s if they are in grade 11? It's a graduation year, it doesn't matter if they were born in January 1998 or December 1998, if they are in grade 11 they are 2016's. If they are in grade 10, they are 2017's. Is that Garlin kid repeating grade 10 right now? If not, why was he in the 2017 game and not the 2016 one?
