What's the difference between the old Maple and the new NEP? Looking at the results of the new clubs in NEP, these clubs seem to be very competitive. In fact, some of them are exceeding expectations.
Take away the mom and pop clubs with 1 or 2 teams, NEP looks like the old Maple. When NEP changed the requirements to enter the league they became the old maple.
This is not a knock on the NEP. Bottom line, NEP found a way to make more money. Maple is a good league for smaller clubs with 5 or 6 teams. Everyone needs a place to play.
How long before the top 5 clubs leave the NEP? At some point in time NEFC, Stars, CFC, FC Boston and GPS will leave the NEP to become elite again.
