Few Junior b's every move to Junior A. They may promise to "call you up" but, truth is they will take proven A players because there are always a bunch to choose from.

One JrB team alone from last season moved like half of those players up to JrA this season lol

No Jr B team had half a roster move up to Jr A this year.

Those teams that had a handful of players move up, most of them are having very little impact on their team.

Great for the kids that are having an impact on their team. But for the others, what is better as a 17 or 18 year old, playing fourth line minutes / healthy scratch at Jr A, or play Jr B with a top six role and PK or PP time?

Nobody said it was better to play sparingly in JrA rather than playing more in JrB. But "few Jr Bs ever move to JrA" is just straight up wrong

I didn't say few Jr B's move to Jr A. But I called BS on "One JrB team alone from last season moved like half of those players up to JrA this season".

CP moved a bunch up.
