I knew of this happening months ago... I got friends in high places... i.e. Waterloo BHWHWAHRAHRHAHRH!HRH@Elfadsf
It had to happen though. If you look at it this way, considering how the Canadian regional in Mississauga has been expanding so fast each year (what was it? 20 rookie teams in 2002, 20 in 2003, and 30 this year?) the 2005 season there'd probably be something like... a total overflow of teams wanting to participate there... and certainly a lot of Canadian rookie teams wanting to compete. And if there's no room for them, they will have a tough time having to travel to the states to compete.
And I have little doubt that even though the Waterloo regional is opening up, that the Mississauga will remain a Super Regional. I have a feeling it's going to be registered to capacity for the remainder of its years.
And having another regional close to home is good for us too; now we don't have to take that road trip into the states to get our second regional in
Besides, Waterloo-Kitchener is a beautiful city... I'm sure any American/Canadian visitors will agree.
And it's probably a good thing it's somewhat close to the Greater Toronto Area seeing as that's where the majority of rookie teams attend from.
