Have any of you considered that over the past 10 years the numbers of quality hockey players that St. Louis has produced has skyrocketed? National Championship appearances every year, the occasional National Champion. At both Tier I and Tier II. Let's see, 10 years? That happens to correspond to our involvement with CSDHL.
Instead of being the problem that you claim, maybe CSDHL has made everybody better by providing an outlet for top level tier II players. Maybe CSDHL has made AAA better by increasing the pool of players exposed to higher levels of competition. Maybe the MOAM model of the 80's and 90's that you so desperately want was holding kids back. Nostalgia is the STL way. You guys are so STL it is hilarious - you probably still talk about what you did in HS.
Rip Affton or Chesterfield if you want, but you cannot argue with the fact that the current system is working and working well.
The system that is in place creates an environment where players are pushed up, not down. You miss the fact that your kid would probably be pushed down to A1 if you got rid of CSDHL. You are way too focused on what YOU "think" the problems of St. Louis hockey are and take a look at the success that so many kids are having. You need to think a little more globally instead of whether or not your team was .500 last year.
