I know for certain there were 02's on the 18u team in the first season 16-17.  I presumed they did the same thing this past season.  Don't know for sure and don't talk to those hockey parents much anymore.  They don't post their rosters online so no way of knowing.

In the 16-17 season the vengeance u-18 team was a pretty strong team, most likely better than the vengeance jr team. I believe they even beat esmark a couple of times that year.  There weren’t any 02’s playing up from u-14. 

There were zero 02's on the U18 vengeance last year. 

I agree with Disco in that both teams seemed to be placed correctly, both showed good speed for the division, and both teams goalies played well.  I thought the refs did a good job of calling the game evenly, let some things go that were a little high and/or a little late, but were consistent for AA.  Both teams took themselves out of position a few times trying to make a hit rather than the smarter play.  Other than that, I'm with JJ.  SCIR out shot and out chanced the Preds by a solid margin. Im not saying it was one sided or SCIR looked far superior, but the score could have ended up 5-1 SCIR as easily as 2-2.
