My understanding is there are 11 to start the season. But, like last year, teams will be moved into the right division after the first tournament.

I think All? the new Ontario teams are Tier2 right now. Come mid season I'd expect a few to be moved to T1.

Probably end up with 4 or 5 Tiers again like last year.

There are way more teams this year. If there are over 30 teams in 2016 group, I would expect minimum of three and up to five divisions. I would expect a total of 10 divisions if there are close to 100 teams.

Bumping this thread up to escape the insanity that the 2016 AAA thread has become …

4 Tiers looks ideal. We're on a new team and we're not good. Would be a good OMHA 'A' team. We're not the worst, either. Riptide 16's are going to struggle mightily, as will others I'm sure.

For the new teams, it's going to depend what parents get butt hurt during the OMHA MD coaching and player selection process. I would think there are reinforcements coming.

It’s probably 2 tiers with higher level and lower level groups no for each. KV knows what he’s doing

I assumed there would still just be 2 tiers, with some teams obviously either towards the top or the bottom of those tiers.

What I thought Klevr did really nicely was for the final tournament, they further sub-divided those two tiers, so that more kids got a chance to win a ring. So maybe they’ll do that again?

I'd think so.

I'm sure he knows that the "nimbleness" of moving teams around to play the right teams is probably 50% of the value of the league.

If he didn't do it, it would be a huge let down.

There will be as many tiers needed in every age group. all parents should want is good games with teams at their skill level, the kids have no idea who or what tier they play. if you are on a weaker team who gives a crap if your tier 2 or tier 6 wont change a thing in development but playing teams you lose by 15 too every showcase will. enjoy the KSL because once you get to U10 good team or bad team you will play lots of blowouts and that doesn't change.

Why doesn’t the Klevr group continue on a program with their 2015s? If it is the best as people say then the Gthl can become a AA league etc and Klevr becomes an Elite league?
