Groton, MA (Youth1) - This weekend the East Coast Prep Cup kicks off at the 1998 birth year. Sixteen teams will meet, with the top six moving on to the playoffs and the top two teams receiving a bye into the semi-finals. The teams seeded number three through six will play in the quarterfinals.

Here is a look at the four teams in each division:

Penguins Division - No. 13 New Jersey Rockets, Providence Capitals, TPH Thunder and Ulysses Odyssey

Pioneer Division - Mid Fairfield Blues, Greater Boston Vipers, Top Gun and Neponset Valley River Rats

Spartans Division - No. 8 Boston Jr. Eagles, No. 6 New Jersey Colonials, Rhode Island Saints and Westchester Express

Wild Boars Division - Bay State Breakers, Connecticut Jr. Bobcats, Long Island Gulls and Pittsburgh Hornets

1- New Jersey Colonials- Despite having a bit of a rough time at the Warrior Tournament, this team is loaded. The key is the preliminary game against the Boston Jr. Eagles. The winner of that one should be the top seed.

2- New Jersey Rockets- With their schedule, they should cruise into the playoffs.

3- Mid Fairfield Blues- The Blues got themselves on the right track this weekend and although they are in the most well balanced division, they should be in the playoffs for sure.

4- Boston Jr. Eagles- They could end up as the top seed depending on their game with the Colonials, which is Friday night at 8:15 pm. The winner of that game should finish as one of the top seeds.

5- Long Island Gulls- The Gulls have some very high-end players and are underrated. The important game will be when they take on the Bay State Breakers.

6- Top Gun- This is another very underrated team. They have a win over the South Shore Kings and a tie with the Boston Jr. Eagles.

1- The Pioneer Division is very tricky. Greater Boston Vipers and Neponset Valley River Rats are equally capable of making the playoffs.

2- Despite picking the Gulls to win the Wild Boars division, any one of the three other teams are capable of making noise as well.
