This is a joke. I know for a fact there are kids on AA/AAA HoCo teams that are better than Elite team starters. Parents know not to waste their time at try-outs, maybe can't drive that far, don't want their kid sitting behind dad coach's son (See FCA Blue and White, 91 and even Crabs), and the holdback movement is why you see elite players playing in AA/AAA. But hey.....my son plays elite for 3 minutes a game until his spot is gone next year.
