[26 Year Gap]

They only stagger the seasons by a week here in VT. It used to be Boys t/f, Girls m/th, but then that was deemd unfair. [Hockey was W/Sat] Then some of the larger schools added frosh teams. So, there are games going on 6 nights a week. Or 5 nights and Saturday morning/afternoon to be more precise. The only strain on officials seems to occur with postponements due to weather. About 2/3 of the games at the varsity level are 3 man. JV has rare 3 man crews.

I guess my advice would be to recruit like crazy.
