Would there be any merit to PIHL adopting the PAHL placement game idea? Teams get placed based on past performance and the "formula", but then get to play 2 games against similarly placed teams and see if there is a problem.
In my opinion you could have swapped TJ and South Fayette with the bottom two in AAA and made the conference stronger and made AA more competitive as well. I think they would have ended in the bottom 4 for sure but were better than at least the two bottom in AAA. I'm not sure about next year depending on the graduating seniors.
apparently they are having u16 players come to the u14 (will be u15 kids) skates so then it looks like more kids are showing up. mostly aa players at the esmark skates so far
