Just glanced at the pools, lots of the usuals, but there's about 4-5 top 10 teams in Canada not invited/going..
Swift Current being one amongst a few others out east.
I see the academies have taken those spots now, and a couple non-typical American teams...
Pretty inexcusable to cut some of those clubs, especially considering SMAAAHL has near 50% of Gold/Silver over the last 20 years probably closer to 60% if you want to include bronze.
For the premier MAAA league to only have 2 teams is ridiculous.
Smells like a "BCHL" type of money/prestige talks type of thing.
I have no horse in the race, just been watching all levels over the years.
