[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MYHA has two 12U and 14U girls teams at each age, so that probably helps if coming down to tryout.

Their 12U Blue team is a wagon…👀[/quote]

Did they just do regular tryouts to pick the Blue and Gold 12U teams, top to Blue and next best to Gold? I've been at the rink and seen both teams a few times, and thought while Blue was definitely better there were a few Gold players who were much stronger than the weaker Blue players. I didn't know if maybe it was a major/minor split or some of the Gold players didn't want to do the coed schedule or something. Or maybe it was just that some players developed more between tryouts and the season.[/quote]

Pure speculation from me because my daughter plays for one of the older MYHA teams and I don't know any of the 12U families, but here's what I have heard.

For the past few years there has been a lot of grumbling about why we aren't clearly the top girls program in the area since we are a bigger program, more players to choose from, etc. Last year St James had a team win Nationals. This year they have higher ranked teams than us at 10U, 14U, and 19U and we have the edge at 12U and 16U...but most of our families wonder why we aren't the top team in 5/5 age groups. Just a general sense of why they have been getting the edge on us the past few years.

I think they are throwing a lot of resources at their 2014 birth year which is strong in the hopes they can become one of the top teams nationally. As you might expect, they want this to go long-term so they picked their elite Blue team to have players who have been with the program longer and they expect to stick around for years to come. Don't blame em at all for that, but I think that could be why you see some weaker players on the Blue team compared to some better (but newer to MYHA) players on the Gold. [/quote]

Clueless about the 12U team but yah we hate when STJ beats us. Makes for a good local rivalry no matter the age group but want us to start winning more of the battles.[/quote]
