I am surpised they didnt do the Boys DA replica as well.
I had heard that next year AFTER (2018-2019) is single band- this year with the 03/04 is just a one year experiement.
That being said its kind of odd that they announce it as a 03/04 band and A Heinrichs philsophy is that the youngers benefit from the play up YET all the DA will play to win I assume and limit the 04 players. If so fine but announce it now so they can sign with ECNL teams fast and move on.
@Lightning Red what we have on boys side is "reserve" or "discovery. I have already heard clubs saying that the girls "will be part of the DA" but what they are referring to is the "reserve squad".
Looking forward to hopefully a single band 2004 soon.
