Other clubs are leveling up. The gap is getting closer. Those 5+ goal victories turn into 1 to 2 goal victories. Upsets will be more common.
The PP asked why. That would mean what are the reasons? All you have is conclusions.
PP wants reasons why other clubs have gotten better?
Probably the reasons why you thinnk they've gotten better. Something like "I spent the last month of the summer traveling the country to watch off season workouts of the top 10 rising 7th grade teams."
Maybe some clubs do that. Heroes, MDU & BLC picked up players that will make them better from non M&D clubs. Behind the cage suggests other NY teams did the same. M&D probably got better but the other teams improved at a higher rate. It’s math at that point. If M&D got 5% better and other teams 10% better, they are closing the gap. At this age, other clubs start more intense training on par with M&D and that closes the gap. There’s still a gap but by HS they may lose some games against clubs they used to beat.
