you are partially right.
Most of the talented 16-17 and 15 year olds are playing in the PWHL because of the watered down MAA . Everyone knows the majority of the MAA teams struggle to keep up and are stocked with a and b players at best.Yes there are some good MAA programs--but not enough.
With this statement it sais it all. You give the problem ( watered down MAA )and the reason why ( Most of the talented 16-17 and 15 year olds are playing in the PWHL)
Cut back the number of teams in both M-AA & I-AA. Your organization must have a supporting cast of developmental teams ie: N-A, A-A/AA, PW-A/AA, B-A-AA to support you M-AA & I-AA team if you are fortunate to have one.
I do not believe you should have an I-AA team if you do not have this supporting cast or at least close to it. To have JUST a M-AA team should not give you the right to have a PWHL team. This constitutes ownership of a team that is not and I repeat not a non proffit org. To hire coaches and pay for all the extra perks there has to be proffits made to pay for this. THis is not minor hockey it is a business for $$$$$$.
