Nothing wrong with ECRL. All of the perks of ECNL with none of the burden.Comment

This is not 100% true, huge drop-off in talent at this level. Not even comparable. College scouts are mostly D3 and community colleges at ECRL level. Keep doing you though..Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

DO YO RESEARCH.....yes you'll gain access to the ECNL marketing pack with logos on your sleeve and social media stickers. BUT it is literally 2-3 weekends of games for teams U15-U17....go look at the ECRL girls schedule for the NW....6 games across 3 weekends and it was over in Aug (some in Dec). This so called new OR/ID ECRL league will follow the same format. 4 Slimy OR Clubs and 2 ID Clubs will compete across 3 weekends during the summers months: likely July and Aug as ECNL/ECRL player registration does not open until July 1. 3 weekends will likely include 2 in Portland and 1 trip to ID where (this is funny) some OR clubs will likely have to face off in a OR v OR battle in the great state of IDOriginally posted by Guest View PostComment

Our club has told some parents that since we are joining ECRL we will get to play in the ECNL showcases in SD and PHX and the ECNL playoffs so that is pretty good access to the ECNL eventsComment

Our club has told us the same, and that we will playing the same northern WA teams (Crossfire, Seattle United) that Washington Timbers and United PDX play. We just won’t play all of them, which is fine for us.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

We will not play their 3rd teams. We will be playing their ECNL teams. That would be the primary reason we would be joining ECRL in the first place. Otherwise we would just be playing each other as we already do in OYSA/state cup/USYS NWC and that wouldn’t require a move to ECRL now would it? The whole point of becoming part of ECRL is the opportunity to play the WA teams, play in the destination showcases, and have a shot at ECNL playoffs, which we hear all will happen.Comment

United PDX gets to stay in ECNL and play the Seattle top teams, since they were already accepted into the league.
The other Oregon clubs will be in the Oregon/Idaho ECRL league. They won't play the Seattle top teams, and they are not in ECNL.
The Seattle clubs do not want WA Timbers, United PDX, Spokane in the ECNL league, as they don't think the level of competition from those clubs is high enough to justify the travel outside Seattle metro. So, they definitely won't send their first teams to play other Portland teams, who are the same level of competition as United and WA Timbers (or worse in most cases), and they will push back on any expansion of ECNL NW to include additional Portland teams.Comment

Rather than driving to Medford, you'll be driving to Boise.
