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. Iβve 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. Heβs a professional con artist. Look at his history. Goes on for decades, yet he always beats the system. Our court system is a joke -

πππ’π π§π’π§π πππ ππ‘ππ¦π©π’π¨π§π¬ - 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! πͺπΌ 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.

Website has Esmark as having complete for 09 tryouts?
-
This is incorrect. (Sorry my nephew played for them) - they lost one forward who made preds and one is trying out for 08 team. Everyone else is coming back to my knowledge and they are picking up a couple other kids. I would assume if/when the one kid gets cut from 08 tryouts he is back and then the team is basically intact. They had plenty of kids try out though so it's more of a matter of what level they end up being in the long run.

You donβt think? All they see are dollar signs.

Not totally shocked to hear that. The league is the entity that accepted someone like that as an owner. So that tells everyone something right away. -
Seems like Shadyside Academy would be a much better choice for local kids that have parents that are willing/able to spend money for hockey plus school. I know for a fact that every kid gets an equal chance there at least.

Ice time was paid. Yes we are all aware it was late a time or two but honestly what organization hasnβt been late. But it was paid for. Not dying on the sword pal, just explaining to everyone the story. I already had told everyone in this thread that nobody trusted our owner. We all saw the news. We all have phones. People talk. Iβm just stating the story of the season. It was more so the league then the Owner. -

No. Was paid for by our owner. -
they donβt have enough players. Having a supplemental tomorrow night-same night as Preds, Icemen, Esmark? Their best forwards left.
-
Ahh, got it. Again, pardon my ignorance but what other top programs do something like this? Non prep schools. Iβm just not hearing of any situations like what PPE does. My understanding is many other top programs cut down on the large group lesson/development approach and there is more time allotted for private skating and one on one work.
-
I didnβt say prep schools do that. I said most top 10 programs do something similar, OR are prep schools. Prep schools have a different goal as they are developing students also. But there you are paying more for less ice time. Depends what you are looking for and end goals.

Shaha 09 definitely not folding I confirmed that.
