The 12U/10U girls travel team folded. Not enough players or coaches apparently.

It seems they were sort of cannibalized by the CHA 10/12U Girls team. Hopefully CHA expands into 14U and 16U Girls, or many of the girls who left NOVA will just end up back there.

I suppose some of the families live closer to Medstar than Mount Vernon, which is a very reasonable reason to switch. But for those who don't, I just can't see the logic in paying significantly more to play on a CHA team that will probably be worse than the Ice Dogs team would have been. Plus, CHA has no pathway past this 10/12U team so you will just have to switch programs again in a year or two anyways.

Pretty sure they have a coach and are still looking to fill out the roster.

There was quite a bit of expectation within CHA that the more talented former players would come flooding back to this team (and bring some of their current teammates with them) but that was a pretty big failure by CHA. Apparently they got a few Bronze level players to come back but that's about it, so the team is significantly weaker than CHA had hoped. I had heard rumors they were saying before tryouts they hoped to be a Gold or Silver team, but after the CBHL levelling festival seem to be more of a middle of the pack Bronze team.

Eh… we saw them at the leveling festival. They didn’t look like a “middle of the pack bronze team” to us. I don’t know the inner workings of CHA so I can’t really speak to that, but maybe you can?

100-percent not a gold squad. Definitely some smaller girls, but it’s their first attempt at something at least.

If I'm not mistaken, most of their games were against 10U teams and weaker Bronze teams. They looked perfectly at level against those teams, so I doubt they would be able to handle playing Silver.

Are there results posted somewhere? I’d love to point and laugh as well
