In Section 1, typically over half of your games are selected by the HC/school. So for the most part, an elite team can build a 15 game schedule with only a couple of cupcakes. Teams typically play Jersey or Ct or even LI teams. I think it helps to not be landlocked on the island. But there are enough top teams out there that a great scheduled can be crafted - so long as its not loaded up on teams you are forced to play. That is the key.
