The way it is now not fun for any team.

Yes there are two AMBHL northern teams that get clobbered by SSAC, reminds me of PCAHA seeding round games. You also fail to acknowledge the nine other teams in the AMBHL north where SSAC has a cumulative goal differential of 155-58.

For that matter what is the comparison between all the Edmonton teams? What is Okotok's draw comparded to Calgary quadrants? Any boundary changes and big brother starts kicking up sand in the sandbox. How about we kick out all the small zones and you can travel from SSAC to Calgary to play weekly.

Camrose also has a middle of the pack 'AA' team. The Camrose AAA team is weak this year, but they were good last year with two players picked in the second round (Miske [F] and Childs [G]). Next year they will be fairly good as well. A bad year does not mean that the program is weak.

Vertannan and Barzel last two first overall picks played in this league and had impressive numbers but there were no opportunities for ten and fifteen points per game. this is not to take anything away from two very good players.
