[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn’t rocket science:

BRYC was struggling back in the day, to keep ECNL charter they joined VYS.  Brave had two years to get their stuff straight and clearly by looking at the clubs overall performance, they failed at that venture. Hence, they’re going to lose their ECNL charter.

McLean and SYC mutually separate due to the gap between the boys and girls sides and the logistical nightmare of the distance.  The only girls leaving to go back to SYC are the ones at the bottom of the rosters.  No one else is going to GA over ECNL on the girls side.

MYS realizes they lose some players back to SYC and the fact that their talent pool hasn’t been what it use to be and they have an opportunity to bail out Brave and help themselves at the same time (so they think).

Now will it help McLean on the girls side?  Only if they don’t lose all of their talent that they do have because of whatever reason: their players don’t want to play for Brave coaches or they just don’t want to be part of all of this craziness once again.  It’s happening and the delay in releasing a coaching slate and ID sessions just keeps putting them further and further behind the curve.  If McLean would have learned from their first merger and did things differently this go around, it might have been very successful for everyone involved.  Unfortunately, McLean doesn’t realize that their going to lose their best talent from the younger ages to other clubs, it’s already happening and it’s sad and unfortunate but they made their own bed once again.

Time will tell but my guess is they will
lose the top 1/3 of their girls at the 2011 and 2012 age groups to other ECNL teams.  And the other local clubs can smell blood in the water, both GA and ECNL clubs are and will be coming after the top players from both Brave and Union.

McLean/Union has rested on their history and laurels for too long and now they’ve exposed themselves to losing their top players.  Lessons learned the hard way once again…and the worse part is that the girls are all the sacrificial lambs in this debacle.[/quote]

McLean parents still believing McLean is controlling all of the decisions and outcomes from the past few months. Like an aging athlete refusing to accept the realities of old age. [/quote]

Union parents are not worried.  Brave parents are hoping for Brave coaches to be in control.

We will see how Union or Brave players will be on the roster.  I bet you there will be more Union kids for each age group [/quote]

Would make sense for most age groups that there are more Union kids as they are generally stronger but not all. And maybe not all Union parents are worried, but some definitely are for a variety of reasons. [/quote]
