from what I heard it’s about half AA and one goalie AA and the other half AAA and the other goalie is from vengeance AAA

It’s brutal but they had to start somewhere and at least make a team. It doesn’t have the depth of even most AA teams.

Not sure how any goalies made it for shaha since tonight was their final night of tryouts from 8-9 but I can take your word for it. Unless the coach called those who made it and preds had a tryout within 20 minutes I don't know how that would happen.

Wonder if they got some AAA players or if it is mostly AA as what was showing up to the open skates

Yep, tryouts done and offers made today

Well one of the goalies that just made it for Shaha is at Preds tonight.

For an extra "A"??? Worth every penny!!

The 5100 does not include team fee which can vary, but In past one was 750 one year and 850 another so over 6k in end.

Are the tournaments included?

We only paid $350 to play organized hockey and play 20 games. A tad bit more then playing 2 “sessions” of 10 adult league games. The league promised to have the players paid. No team in the league were paying players. We actually could have been paid but then we would have had to pay for practice and travel on our own. The players elected to not get paid and have everything else paid for (practices and travel, hotels) At the end of every game we really only made $1000 profit after paying for the ice, refs, EMTs, security, etc. That profit paid for the travel expenses mostly.

someone was saying at the hockey store today that this team is going to try and field a team next season too......HOW?

Paid coaches, skills/goalie training, dryland, 12-15 summer practices, 2-3 weekly practices in season, 50-55 game schedule, 4-6 showcases, HUDL video, nicer locker room for Frozen Pond, THF schedule, feeling of superiority over Tier 2 Icemen and Yetis.

Bigger question is what does that include? It is hard to compare apples to apples on a lot of the posted prices

It’s $5100 for next year

Courts do nothing to white collar criminals. If this thief stole the same amount or less out of a bank, he'd be in jail.

I hate to say it but you drank the kool aid. I’ve heard from vendors, other players, sponsors that the owner robbed you blind. He owes everyone. Kept all the sponsorships money. Owes vendors. Portion of ticket sales goes back to players but he kept it. He’s a professional con artist. Look at his history. Goes on for decades, yet he always beats the system. Our court system is a joke

𝐑𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐇𝐅 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 - The 2010 PHA Icemen - are seeking an additional goalie to compliment our great team of players, join our mission, and help us defend our title! 💪🏼 For more info, please contact Coach Mike Fritz at: mfritz@frozenpondarena.com or our Team Manager, Krista Barbeau, at: kbarbeau57@gmail.com

Still have two days till tryouts start! Why give them money any earlier than you have to? Besides I heard they pretty much have who they want through open skates!

I heard this about the u18 too but can't verify.

Any truth to the rumor that U18 AAA Vengeance has less than 20 skaters registered for tryouts? And if 09 folded what is going on over there?

What is the cost difference?

So has the raise in cost scared anyone from Icemen going aaa for 09? How has their turnout been? Vengeance still is advertising tryouts for 2009 tonight on facebook?

I'm finding it wild that this thread has more traction than the tryout threads this year. Everyone must be getting old and we aren't recruiting enough mite parents.

I admire you guys for giving it a go. Too many people here were just waiting for it to fail! This forum seems to be for everyone to complain about something so don't take anything personally!

I think that tuition is $39,000 / yr for a commuter. So, staying on campus with room and board goes up to $62,000. Then include hockey fees, that price goes up fast.
