Been hearing a lot about this locally. Lots of rumors and I am not sure how much is true. I know a few families on the team but haven't spoken to them directly.

I do know that several teams complained and there was definite proof of overage players (possibly from social media birthday posts from one of the in-question players) - and in the end it was the coaches were told to either come clean or they would be exposed anyway. Basically a resign or be fired option. Considering the job one of the coaches has I believe in a government role, coming clean was the only choice he had.

What stuns me is that at this level everyone knows the players capable of playing at this level. There is no 'hidden' player you can pull out and not have someone know who they are especially on a set of games that were broadcast. This is a long-term dominate team in their age division going back to basically 10U.
