Let's go.... Rankings looking the same as last year? Fury clearly top 10 contender. TI has taken Storms spot as worst IL AAA team. Mission not as strong as we thought? Reapers breaking even...Phantoms... still worst jersey in all of sports.

Doesn’t seem like a lot of surprises based upon D1A and D1B mites last year. Huge drop off after 9th place. Half the league is competitive and the other half looks like they’re in for very long seasons.

This is my kids second year. He's now a squirt.

Can someone explain to me how the refs get paid? I asked our manager and she did not want to discuss it.

Is there a fee schedule for all the age and skill levels?

Is it true that IHOA gets a fee for every game

This has been brought up before, but never saw a good answer. Express has very few teams, e.g. 2 BY teams for Peewee, but no prospects; 2 squirt teams, 1 BY and one prospects. How do they keep that program going with no lower teams that can move kids up or team to give people
