Any matchups that folks are looking forward to this weekend?
Capital vs M&D Black
Crush v Yellow Jackets should be pretty good
I think people are interested in seeing everyone and how their new additions or subtractions effect the teams performance compared to last year. We have assumptions about which teams upgraded in talent, but will those upgrades positively effect the team's performance? Coppermine probably had the biggest turnover, so they will pique a lot of people's interest.
I don't predict any blow-outs. Now that we are in the High School years and talent from B teams has moved up and been consolidated, talent from A teams has shuffled around, I don't think the discrepancies exist that would create 8-10 point goal differences.
I agree, definitely interested to see how the teams have changed. Seems like this year there was more shuffling than previous years across the board. Capital is on the scene, Coppermine & M&D had a lot of change on their rosters, Heros only added 2 people but those they added will expect to play a significant role. Don't know much about Skywalkers but did hear in previous scrimmages they looked strong and added at least one difference maker. Crush and MDU I think stayed fairly consistent.
Another change this year is that they're in high school and certain clubs have policies in place that say everyone should get about half a game (at least in showcases, which most tournaments are now). I know this is true for M&D, Capital, I think Heros, and maybe others. This could impact teams who haven't historically played all.
