[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]you guys have no idea what you're talking about.  Midwest was kicked out of the ECNL, they didn't leave. I have first hand knowledge from a board member. This was in motion from last year when they accepted Nationals.  ECNL would not have 5 teams from MI in the Midwest conference.  so starting 25/26 one would have to go.  Hawks would not give up their magic teams so it came down to Liverpool and Midwest and Midwest lost because of weaker performance over their 6 age groups (I don't believe any age group has qualified for champions league).  Immediately after the couches conference in Las Vegas they moved their tryouts from June to March 1st to secure as many players as they can from leaving.  Even this morning their website and all social media advertised ecnl and RL teams for 2025/26. A club excited to move to the GA would announce this well in advance and not move up their tryouts and cling to ecnl logo's.  No club, team, or family in the ecnl view going to the GA as a step up.  They've been demoted to Tier 2 (some could argue Tier 3).[/quote]

They may have been kicked out, but their 2012 girls team topped the midwest bracket. Also, their announcement was just a few hours ago so not surprising maybe not everything switched.

Also interesting, rumors on this board that Liverpool would go RL. Maybe that's not the case, now.

Regardless whether they stayed ECNL or move to GA that club basically been one of the strongest, if not the strongest, out of West Michigan, confining ECNL to metro Detroit.[/quote]
