I was asked by a current A5 team to put these together. I know very very little about the majority of the teams so please understand this is 50% homework 50% guesswork.
1 Cincinnati Cardinals 0-0-0
Well built but does have initial chemistry issues. They may come out with the best record, but they may not translate into a championship.
2 Edmonton Thunderchiefs 0-0-0
They have depth issues but it is definitely something that can be overcome.
3 Alberta Irukandji 0-0-0
Their offense is 1 dimensional; if they can change that they have a great shot at the championship.
4 Manitoba Maulers 0-0-0
Great team chemistry and a proven track record move them into a playoff position. Their levels does not do them justice, their game planning looks fantastic.
5 Fhockey.com Demos 0-0-0
IF they take this season seriously they should easily secure a playoff spot. They have the GLB experience but depth is weak.
6 Rancho Penasquitos Thunderbolts 0-0-0
Should have an improved campaign over last season, I expect them to put a good fight in almost every game. The low levels of the defense could hurt when going up against players nearly twice their level.
7 Vancouver Vikings 0-0-0
After the early season success last season the Vikings went down faster than $2.00 hooker. They should have learned from their mistakes, expect them to be contenders.
8 Canada Dragons 0-0-0
They have great game planning but lack of depth and inactive could hurt in the long run.
9 North Bay Drift 0-0-0
Have no real glaring weaknesses other than levels. They may overcome that with good game planning. I see them competing with last years same foes for that 8th and final spot.
10 Manitoba Lions 0-0-0
Rackhound has a great squad and he may totally prove me wrong, I just see the same issues that plagued the UG early on. Inactive players may really hurt this team.
11 Moose Jaw Roughriders 0-0-0
I may be wrong about these guys. They proved in BBB10 they had what it takes to win, I just can’t see game planning overcoming those levels.
12 Fort McMurray Mounted Police 0-0-0
I love these guys and by next season they should dominate, but it will be next season. They need to add some more depth in spots.
13 Arroz Con Pollo 0-0-0
Early chemistry issues and the quality of their depth have them in the bottom tier of the conference.
14 Laval Crusaders 0-0-0
Issues with inactive players. They did prove their mettle last season but I don’t see the BBB wins translating to A wins.
15 Victoria Fish 0-0-0
Underleveled line will be crushed by the likes of Bob and the other elite DE and blitz packages.
16 Saskatchewan Thrashers 0-0-0
Rebuilding with no hope of a single W.
