I definintely agree with you that your conference is probably the strongest div III conference in Canada right now.
Fundamentally Sound
(33492): Owner of the one and only Denny Hall
(18665337) as well as having an extremely dangerous starting lineup and Curtis Worley
(19313993), possibly the next Glenn Richards for the U21 team and the monster big man that Canadas NT so desperately needs. Coach Coach is also a great manager with a great understanding of the game and its tactics along with the importance of enthusiasm and gameshape.
Iqlaluit Test Icicles
(25029): A game behind Fundamentally Sound for the conference lead, does not neccessarily have the deepest team in this conference, but has some stars and knows how to utilize them and what tactics to use them in. A good starting lineup has carried this team all season. An injury or two could be devastating.
Sony Rox ur Sox
(33144):
(38947038) that is enough said about this team. The Underdogs, the team that knocked off the most dominant Canadian team in recent history. In all seriousness Sony Rox ur Sox has a fairly deep team and they seem to understand how important gameshape can be, they were finalists last season and had the best record in the league at 20-2. Fear this team, they could easily forget to set a lineup and beat you ;)
Haaa
(33272): With the most lethal starting lineup in this conference, they can always be dangerous, but with their lack of depth, an injury really hurts and can the starters really perform playing 48 minutes every game?
Another div III league stands out in my mind and their managers have been real quiet, but division III.15 is a fairly strong league and it contains two Canadian U21 players and a Norway U21 player. My top 4 from this league I think could all compete up a division:
Haylors
(25047): undefeated, it is their league to lose.
Bare Bottoms
(33368): 4th in the Big 8, but looking at their roster they are a good guard or two from competing Haylors for the league championship. Own Canada U21s current star big man David Castro
(16416234) and 20 year old Norway U21 big man Fabian Lidden
(18151650).
Canadian Ballers
(33464): Leading Great 8, with a strong deep roster, however being ravaged by injuries at the moment.
Sock Pants
(33380): Owner of Canada U21 guard Anton Rickard
(16416588) and won this conference last season and played in the finals last season as well. They are currently 4th, but definitetly have a strong team and a good guard or big man could put them over the top as a top competitor with Haylors.
I find Division III, the most thrilling and exciting division to follow, because I think it can boast some of the best competition and some really great managers just on the edge of greatness. I find division III the most interesting to talk about as well and am really thinking of starting like a division III thread each year where I can discuss the favourites for div III. :P
