How about something different. And somewhat positive. Can every share some positive experiences for Express, Rebels, 9! and Empire at this age, both 1st and 2nd team. I know can't all be bad or nobody would go try out lol. My son wants to tryout for 2 clubs of the 4 listed.
In this 2022 age group, the only second team you want to be on is Igloo Aspen Extreme, they do the second team the right way, only enter in all A brackets for tournaments!
not anymore losing some key players will not be able to compete in "a" anymore
