Michigan has 10 AAA organizations (MAHA T1) with one team per birth year and only has 4 players on the U17 national development team. Is Pittsburgh a small hockey market? Absolutely. But with the right model it could be right there with other states. Instead we all scoff at the "non legit "AAA teams.
If there was a legitimate Western PA AAA league with say 6 organizations each fielding 1 team per birth year the competition would be intense and the bragging rights would be on the table every year. It would also offer more opportunity for scouting and exposure in my opinion. Much like MAHA does.
Michigan has 8 AAA orgs.
If you are comparing, a more fair comparison would be Michigan to Mid-Am. Mid-Am has about 10% more registered skaters at most ages so would expect 10% more AAA teams across the region if a similar model was used. There are a lot of differences that make this not such a great comparison but I would start there. -

Need to do a bit of research. MAHA is requiring Covid info from any area that a team desires to play in out of state. (Tournament, scrimmage, league play).
Appears that out of staters aren’t welcome In Michigan either
No locker rooms, must arrive at rink dressed and depart once game completed.
Concession sales also prohibited by EO
This is not true. They are requiring contact information for contact tracing purposes only.
Locker room availability is based on the arena policy. Some allow and some don’t currently. I expect this to relax more now that rinks are legally allowed to be open.Full text of the guidelines are here

Because it gets lost in the Quinlan/Fauci world of sorrow, does anyone have friends or contacts in Michigan? It looks like they can play regular games at the Midget/Bantam level (other levels too) with two spectators per athlete. Can anyone confirm? I want to reach out and schedule some games.
2 guest per athlete. No restriction on roster size. Several other minor restrictions.
The most controversial is a mask mandate for all players, even while playing. The rule comes from the governor’s order so is not likely to change anytime soon. A bubble does not count.

Rules and restrictions are being drafted and released this weekend. Games will be allowed starting next week. Beyond that, there is a lot of speculation but nothing is 100% yet.
