It’s so interesting to see such a change in the standings. NT dominated for so many years and it changes so fast. Not even being mentioned here.
It will be crazy to see what happens next year and if the current east champ will remain.
NT are their worst enemies. A lot of parents on that team can't let the process happen and needs immediate success.

NT is model of complacency. Relying on star players of U10/U11. Like a lot of teams, they are set up with a "its a family" model which means they won't release/cut kids who actually don't belong on the team. This is common across all levels.
I honestly don't think the objective of every rep team is to win at all costs. its a balance of keeping kids/parents happy and the good vibes/money flowing into the org and paid coaches' pockets.
NYK & SIR will surprise. NYK proactive to turnover roster and SIR went thru a forced change. both will come out fine and be strong mid.
if coaches were smart, they should look into the kids who can/already do hit (cleanly) to plan out their U14+ rosters. small dangle monsters or soft mental kids will all move to A.
