Of interest based on last league meeting: conference selections
Canton Cardinals are now Great Lakes Cardinals - perennial solid team goes independent
FH Mud Hens jump up from Advanced to Open - solid team stepping up
Novi Heat Black jump up from Advanced to Open - another solid team stepping up
Pinckney Pirates slide from Advanced to Community - good move after two sub .500 seasons in advanced
LIvonia Rattlers jump up from Community to Advanced - good move after only 1 loss in Community in 2011
AA A's Green jump from Community to OPEN - jumping over advanced to open, gutsy move
Michigan Bulls will play in the advanced conference; as a first year team with a lot of travel experienced kids we should definitely be competitive in that group and will look forward to playing a few open teams to gauge ourselves for future seasons.
More to follow when the revision from that meeting is published with the rest of the teams selections. There were 23 teams that should have declared their intentions that night.
Also, of interest is the "missing" teams from 2011: Livonia Titans, MC Rivesharks, Oakland Reds; they don't even appear on the "potential teams" listing. Would be a shame to lose those three competitive teams.
