When one of the proponents of the play-in game concept was asked why play-in games are needed, the reply was, “ So players learn to win in must-win games so they are prepared for HS hockey.”
Bantam AA and Bantam A have play-in games, but Bantam B1 does not. So evidently Bantam B1 players will never play HS hockey.
Play-in games started last season.
