So we know exactly what to expect, and know we'll be okay right from the get go.
Where as in the NCHL, my other team looked at a bunch of teams in D and E (we always used to be D) and we recognized maybe two teams, so we went with D, and the first two teams we've played are comparable to teams I used to play against div B a couple years ago. Having said that, they will move us down after a few games if we keep losing, but it kind of sucks that we have to lose 5 games to start the season before the move.

It's interesting, now that I have reffed a lot of the different divisions, I can see there needs to be a lot of shifting around of teams. The way it stands now, there are a lot of teams in E and D that will be lucky to win 2 games and there are teams in E that I think would do very well in D. With that said, I have noticed every team has a mixture of not so good player (E II caliber) and really good guys (C - B Caliber) which surprised me.
By the way, I reffed a few of you in last few days... didn't want to say anything before in case I made a bad call.
