I know Igloo accomplished this very successfully. Who else is on that trajectory. And who can share what Igloo successful.


Playing on a second team within an organization is probably not your better bet - those teams seem to get second string status to their better counterpart within their organizations, and then when they feel like it, they bring boys from their top team down to their lower team to win - this displaces playing time for players that are ACTUALLY on the second team and is antithetical to the whole idea of having the second team. Igloo did that yesterday with Black Ice players playing with Avalanche yesterday. You're better off being on the top or only team in an organization that might be hair below the top teams.
