I would have to say that the Blades and Warriors are the youngest teams in the division but in all honesty i can see the math working out to a difference of less than .5... That is a small difference considerall the teams are fairly loaded with talent 18 years and younger.

This Division is going to do very well in the upcoming seasons.

Brandon will have a significant turnover of players next year.

[Blades 4 Life!]

This is going to be the Toughest divisions in the next couple years. Next year and years to come are going to be so close and one team one or two teams are not going to maek it in the playoffs which so go.

[Warrior Fan]

Just to see how young all the teams really are. Coaching is really going to be a big issue over the next couple of years. I know the Warriors have another 2 17 year olds to add(16 this season) I also know they will be looking at adding 3 91's next season. I just don't see where there is room to do it.

It could really get to be some good hockey. Raiders/Kings are going to be weak on the backend though. Tending and D.

[Triton]

Amie is going to be a great tender , and we dont loose a defencemen next year and have to find room for a bery good button to play on the backend the raiders wont be weak anywhere next year, they may be weak at d the year after that but are very deep at forward that year to go get backend help

I don't think May will be back.I think we will see the same thing happen as what took place with Byers moving on.

No way this can be accurate. Look at the age breakdown I did above on how many players at each age group it is impossible for SC to be that young. LOL

[CHtoo]

Going by the roster against Seattle the average age was 17.6.
If you add in the injured roster players it's 17.68.
If you take out the "AP" players and average the roster it comes to 18.00.


Not getting into years and months just the posted age.

Gentlemen

I am not going to argue with the comments, I simply took the players on all the teams on the WHL web site the day before I did the calculations. Any player listed as 86 was give a 20 age, 87 was a 19, 88 was a 18 , 89 was a 17 and 90 was a 16 and yes that day there were a couple of teams with 91 listed and called them 15. I took the number of players in each year multiply by the age as shown above. Then I divided by the total number of players on the roster that day. You can argue about how I did it that fine but don,t question the accuracy , I have been in accounting for too many years to listen to people who never do their homework . If I made an error show how based on the methodology , lets compare apples for apples . I was shocked by the results myself because I thought the Canes had a young team and I see that we are in the middle of the pack .
