They don't play each other, but its quite obvious that there is a huge disparity between U8MD teams even. The ones close to KSL teams in geography for the most part are pretty bad because their best players went elsewhere.

I saw one of the teams participating in a 3 on 3 tournament at NTR and they looked like house league players - most of them couldn't even stay on their feet.

But, I've also seen a couple MD teams from other areas (friends and Families kids play on them) and they are pretty good players - unfortunately playing half ice hockey - which makes them look a lot worse than they actually are. Good passing, good skating, decent shots.

Wow that’s nuts. Is OMHA really becoming that bad? NYHL has lost full teams as well and many good players.

There is a pretty big tournament going on in Niagara falls right now, no scores posted. Is that a rule? I was curious if I could snoop around

Klevr started the season posting scores, rosters, stats. Then they realized a ton of kids were double dipping, so did away with all that. For example, a lot of the 2015 Duffield White team are double dipping with the Jr Wings.

OMHA does not keep scores at this age group until 9. Keeping stats at a young age is not a good idea so good for Klevr. Keep stats will make players focus on hogging pucks and scoring vs team play and learning the game.
