The elite kids who used to play have just about all left it alone so what you have is a national team that is about as good as BLC.

It’s probably still a really good option for non hot bed kids though. Definitely fulfills a niche of getting those kids east to play in top tournaments.
Thisnis accurate. Played them at Naptown this summer and they would have gotten rolled in HoCo Elite division. And yeah, good way for kids not already on Elite teams to get Elite exposure.
