[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nationals shot themselves in the foot. 
Now they are just a middle of the pack club in a stacked conference.

Before, their matches against Lou Fusz, NEFC, TopHat, CUP et al used to attract 100+ colleges.

Now they might not even see the ecnl playoffs in some age groups…[/quote]

Are you arguing that nationals players will get less exposure in ECNL than they did in GA?[/quote]

I am yes. In GA they usually put multiple teams in GA playoffs and they did well. Let’s say only 300 college coaches at GA instead of the 400 at ECNL. So they got in front of 300 coaches at the highest levels of GA. Now, at ECNL, several teams miss playoffs because they play Hawks, SBV, SLSG, Eclipse so they are not getting the 400 because they dont even make the trip. It is not calculus.

Hence the argument you would rather be a GA playoff team than an ECNL team that does not make the playoffs.[/quote]
Except it doesn’t work that way. The playoff event is also a showcase, so every team can go even if they don’t qualify for the playoff bracket. Nationals will be there with the 400 scouts no matter where they finish. GA works the same way. If you have been through the process you would realize this. Only pre-HS age parents think you need to be on a winning team to get exposure. [/quote]
