The GTHL is terribly run league. It's essentially 2 tiers built into 1.
the top 4 teams are one level, and the bottom 8 are the next. What this means is that for the most part the top 4 teams will always win against the bottom 8. If a player develops over a season or two on a 7/8/9/10 whatever team, he'll be picked up by a top four team and move.
This terrible for player development, as league parity and testing yourself in competition of an equal caliber are key components over the LONG journey of development. What the GTHL has done is create all-star teams, and they have made winning easy for these players. What they don't develop though is the character components. Things like how to find an extra gear when you're down, how to lose with class-figure out what went wrong, what you can do better, and come out hungrier to win next time. Players lack resiliency and don't know what it's like to lose.
The US NTDP is the best format, and they set it up for these teams to lose more than they win. Imagine that.
