 * Keep Jr. A Hockey teams are considered notable. Esp with outside verifiable sources. Bhockey10 (talk) 20:16, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Junior hockey in the US isn't organized quite the same as it is in Canada. A Tier III team in the US would probably be roughly equivalent to Junior B in Canada, which really stradles the line of notability. Resolute 21:18, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Its pretty organized, not quite in the same way as in Canada, but its hard to compare the levels of play across countries, many Jr. A artices for US and Canadian teams (and a number of Canadian Jr B teams) have articles that don't have as many sources that have been added to this article. As a whole AJHL is one of the top Jr. leagues in the US and heavily scouted despite being fairly new (2003). Bhockey10 (talk) 21:29, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
