let's go to beginner hockey and beat the snot out of them

we had the same problem in our men's hockey division last season. it was my team's first season so we entered the lowest skilled division - which is where our skill level is. a bunch of other new teams also joined div 5 and they were killing everyone.... we lost a few games by double digits! ouch!! talk about killing my goals against! mind you, i was getting 60+ shots a game so my save percentage actually wasn't that bad! ha! ha!
after about a month into the season, the guy who runs the league takes a look at the top & bottom teams in each division and moves teams up or down accordingly. he does this again around christmas. good thing there wasn't a div 6 becuz we would have been sent down! ha! ha! once the realignment happened our division was a blast - anyone could win on any given night.
i don't get why super skilled guys want to play in lower divisions - do they really think there are scouts watching in the stands??
