They're keeping score starting with the U14s this year while the U13s are keeping theirs up on the parent-run website. A number of teams lost players to other teams and I know of one team that lost two players to Europe. There seems to be a trend towards choosing larger skilled players, which worries me as the smaller players are getting pushed out soley because they can still be muscled off the ball.
As for SAAC, I noticed a newsletter on their website that vaguely explained why they wouldn't be working with the OSA within the OPDL. Politics indeed...
