dhunter,
my childs b-day is the day after the cutoff and we have run into the same delema at our house. We opted to pull ours down after a couple years of playing up because of the playing time and developement issues. At first there were issues of not playng with friends and the team he had been with for several years, that only lasted a few weeks and now it is all good. I have to tell you honestly it has been WONDERFUL for his development and he has personally developed at a much more rapid pace than he was when he was playing up.
Now the delema we are faced with is that if he stays down at his "correct" age group he will graduate before he gets to play U-18. So he will miss that extra year of exposure infront of college coaches (good thing we are not counting on that!)
Tuff decision...good luck!
What level does the "correct" age group play at? Premier or Challenge?
