VP and MNS will be 1/2 next year.
FT is third best.
Followed by VR and MB.
No other team
Will be relevant.
A real shame for there to be this lack of competition because the loop is so diluded.
Same as this year? I really doubt it and I will tell you why. FT is the biggest team and we are not in kiddie combo timbit hockey anymore but at the gates of contact and hitting. They have size and their coach works on body positioning and taking out bodies. VP and MNS are too deep in their feelings, they are talented well coached but soft teams. This is a problem. VR should be right after FT with how they play but their team is small and slow and because they slow the skilled VP and MNS kids will prevail. MB is a strange team that accidentally ended up in the mix but it is hard to see that happen two years running in a row.
It will be different. Just not in the direction you are suggesting.
In the West Finals, the FT coach was able to generate his offence by smartly line matching the 26 line against the weaker MNS D.
Good luck trying that strategy next year with the upgrades that have come in.
