Minot has flip flopped from AA to A in bantams more than once. It's all about winning up there. If they go with just an A team then make to A teams. My bantam team this year was offered to go B1. I said absolutely not. Yes we are struggling right now but the boys are getting better playing tougher competition. The year we win state A peewee tourney the following year we won 2 games. Just how it happens here with the lack of numbers at times. I had a whopping 22 bantams this year to make 2 teams
Canada passed on quite a few players including one that leads the OHL in scoring. I think a lot of these coaches are like Herb was when he choose the '80 Olympic team, and we know how many excellent players he left off that team
