[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Still trying to get my arms around the original rationale for USA to go BY in the first place. Is it simply because of that 6 month benefit at U17/U19? Which, according to most, RAE goes away by then. Except for Gadwell Canadian hockey dynamic, which is a coaching and discovery issue, not a birth date issue.

If going back to SY increases the pool it probably cancels itself out, right?

Again, most pro/elite level players are playing up to begin with so just don’t see the issue. Get participation up and eliminate trapped issues seems like a win/win unless you are Q1 bubble player. [/quote]

You need to go back several hundred pages. There are many reasons, but you're missing one of the biggest ones - trapped years/recruiting years being off sync with teams composed of multiple grade years (eg 8th graders and sophs/juniors - mostly on the girls side).[/quote]

my bad - ignore what i said and i'm dumb for not reading your full post! :)[/quote]
