Few things, projected by who? One dad?

It's an exhibition game BEFORE tryouts. Wouldn't put any stock into the result. None at all.

Single A coaches holding an exhibition game prior to tryouts at U15. Jesus Christ, relax a bit. Let the players and families have a break. This isn't good for anyone and won't matter at all come next season. Thankfully not part of either of these teams.

Exhibition game?? Had the full squad played in a tournament this weekend! No one else around here is taking this stuff seriously enough, going to be a long summer

What's the problem with playing in spring hockey / tournaments? I believe more than half of the teams play at least 1 during the spring. WM, NT, Markham and Ted Reeve all took part this weekend.

Nothing. Personally I wouldn't, I think players need a break. I think spring/summer is for individual training. Side note, ever notice the top teams usually don't have spring/summer teams?

Everyone didn't leave the Attack ... there were a number of players moving up to AA (including the coach's son) and there were probably 6 or 7 players that would have most likely returned to the squad ... the coach had offered to return to the bench eventhough his son was moving up but the George Bell organization (who administers the team) thought it a better fit to simply move their Mississauga A coach over and he has decided to bring his whole team with him. So it's somewhat of a complete rebuild ...

Rangers, Panthers and Lightning all essentially rebuilding. Sharks have lost a number of players as per a previous post in this thread so who knows where they will end up

Avs (by default) look to be a in good position to move up the standings simply because they aren't going through a complete rebuild

and of course Eagles will dominate ... they actually cancelled their one and only tryout because there will be essentially zero changes to their team.

George Bell A team from MHL not too strong. Did entire team follow, or any of the stronger kids go elsewhere? GB from last season likely equal to Rangers.

From what I hear it's essentially the whole team with maybe one or two removals and adds.
