Groups for Divisions I and II have yet to be determined.

 

[Douggy]

Pool A looks pretty solid. It sucks that two of those teams have to go back down.

 

[GB]

It's going to be a big step-up for GB, especially with our top scorer Stephan Wallace being too old (this was his 2nd consecutive year of scoring 12 goals. In 3 U-20 Division 2 campaigns he had 26 goals and 10 assists in 14 games. Sadly he hasn't played much in the league this season, even after a good Findus Cup campaign to start the season. Still we have a fighting chance of avoiding relegation.

Yes, but 5 players from the U-20 squad were also in the U-18 squad, and all the other countries will also be losing their best players through age. Promotion is always difficult, but I do believe we have a bunch of guys at both levels that can keep us up there.

Why? Should it just be locked forever? Surely the prospect of relegation gives all the teams incentive to compete.

Ideally they should increase the number to 12 teams so it's not a foregone conclusion which two teams are going down. At least IMO.

good point!

Certainly we can stay up, and I believe we will. I do worry were the goals will come from. Maybe Allinson will step up.
