PREMIER
The two ECNL teams in Man City both made one level of playoffs I believe and two of the three in Cerritos did not. Slammers being the exception as they one the Southwest League. Slammers will be great at Cerritos. I think it will be interesting to see how Vegas Heat and Scottsdale Blackhawks do at Man City. I think Blackhawks and Slammers both make it to the finals of their tournaments.
Well slammers was great before ECNL and they won this one, but looks like the comp in the league was not all that great for them. Tied a Europa flight scdsl team and squeezed out a win vs reserves in the semis.
Heat finished 2nd in there bracket and lost to oceanside a bottom of the bracket CSL premier team.
Blackhawks did a bit better but lost in PK's in the semis to a 9th place LA Galaxy SD team from SCDSL. Heard they were fortunate to get past Aztecs who was red carded and playing with 10 men.
The Pats reserve NPL team might have had the most Amount of goals but a partial academy team with 04's pretty much shut them down.
Tournaments are always different and league play is not always about winning but the us club soccer leagues like ecnl or NPL are not really making much difference for these teams it seems.
