Subject: USA U-18 Team

Nice win against Canada capsaicin!

Thanks! I thought the United States had a fair chance of winning, but I didn't expect an 8-4 win.

Congratulations to you as well on your 4-0 start to the season with the United States U20 National Hockey Team.

The team that you have right now is pretty much the team that promoted to the top division for the U18 team. Hopefully the players can repeat this accomplishment with the U20 team.

An update: the United States won 8-0 against Romania last week. All of the chemistry substitutions were playing.

Medley got injured again and was out last week. It seems that Neely will be out this week.

This week, the United States will play Portugal.

Is there any chance that anyone would be willing to help scout the opponents (Croatia, Serbia, and Poland) again this season? I am busy scouting 16 year olds.

In particular, I would need the players that are called up and the high OR players first (preferably at the same time near the World Championships so it is easier to compare players). Copying and pasting the player page into a message seemed to be the most efficient way to send the scouting information last season. Last season, very helpful information was discovered by scouting the opponents.

I only need one manager per team, unless two managers with low scouting want to split a team. It should be possible to scout the teams in time with a little over ~80% scouting progress per day.

If there are enough volunteers to cover the first three teams, help scouting Finland, Hungary, France, and Slovenia could also be helpful in case the United States manages to advance to the qualifying round, but Serbia, Croatia, and Poland come first.

I'll help were I can. My Scouting is only at 65% a day. I put to top 10 players (in terms of OA) from the Croatian U18 team onto my scouting list. I'll send you the data once i have it. I'll put more players on my scouting list too once I see what others contribute.

Thank you very much! Though you won't be able to scout everyone, you should still be able to cover the probable starters and high OR players if you don't scout the 17 year olds and 16 year olds, so I would consider Croatia (U18) to be covered.

Unless you were to share Croatia with someone else. Any amount of help that can be spared would be welcome.

I didn't clarify in the the first post, but I need the U18 Polish, U18 Serbian, and U18 Croatian teams scouted.

I handle the Polish team

Thank you very much!

I will do Serbia. I scout 165% a day.

Thank you very much!

which team do you want me to scout? I'm at 172% so whatever you want, let me know and I'll get started today.

Thank you very much!

I think the 3 teams from the same group as the United are covered. The next step would be to scout teams that could end up in the same qualifying group, which I think is reachable again for the United States this season.

Finland and France seem to be consistently strong, so I would be more interested in having Hungary and Slovenia scouted if you would be open to scouting the key players (18 year olds and high OR 17 year olds) from those 2 teams.

I'll start with Finland. Do you want me to PM you as I get results?

It would be best if you could wait until the World Championships are closer, but it would be fine if you would prefer to send the results as you scout them.
