Does BC generally have stronger teams than Alberta? Some Minor Midget teams from Alberta came to the last few Silver Stick tournaments in Whitby, Ontario and they got completely worked over by the Ontario and Detroit teams. Thanks for the input.

^^^^^This is a bantam tournament. If anyone's wondering why a bantam tournament is relevant: Every year some of the top kids at this tournament are high WHL draft picks in 6 months, and some of them always go on to be high level NHL prospects.

Myself, i'm interested in hearing who the next great WHL'ers are so if Leo, or anyone else, wants to post some thoughts about what they're seeing out there i'd be interested in reading them.

I'm aware it's a bantam tournament, just a general question as to whether BC produces stronger teams than Alberta, after seeing how badly the teams from Alberta struggled against Ontario and Detroit teams.
