Easy on @PUCKCOVID19 Ty, he's just mad he won't be able to go to states and yell "suck my..." or "she's a wh..." at the Philly team along with the other classy fans from Armstrong.

It really depends on the coach at each age level... then how long have they been at the organization so you know that they have a core group that have wanted to stay season after season. Each coach has a coaching plan which will drive the commitment and you pick what's right for you.. practices, games, tournaments, travel. You want to get put on a roster where you feel like you belong and the competition is good... so you may win slightly more games than you lose. At the end of the day, you feel like your player developed and got better over the course of a season... and wants to come back. Then also distance to the rink should be a consideration.. you should really consider organizations that are within 30 mins or less from your household. I'm guessing you are a parent of a younger player so you have a wide spectrum of options to choose from. I've been pretty happy in the organization I've been in and it's local to our community so we have been there for five years and counting. Our player is a 2011. There are many hard working individuals across many youth hockey organizations. The competition is good for the health of our sport.

Yes that is correct. Also btw, the second sheet construction has begun.

This^^^^^^ And if you are traveling towards Connellsville you will begin to hear the sound of banjos. That will be your warning to stay away from there at all costs.

Just stay away from Mon Valley, Cambria, Johnstown, Altoona and State College. Usually the biggest clownshows come from there. Inter-city within Pittsburgh you should be alright.

Some of the parents here are pretty damn funny. The defense by the Montour parents was that noone cares enough to cheat in HS hockey. Then they were outraged when they didn't get to compete for something "they didn't care about". Armstrong parent runs their mouth about how great winning the pens cup will be. Then backtracks after losing saying that noone cares about pens cup and all that matters is states.

Talk about crazy parents. That 12u AA aviators team takes the cake in my book.

you won pens cup, didn't win states , settle down!! Armstrong outplayed them most of them, got 2 lucky bounce goals....... see what you do on Saturday vs a very strong Philly team!!

Hey @PUCKCOVID19, who does Armstrong own now?? I can't remember.....

So he was with teammates? I would hope if my son were in a similar situation that he wouldn't let a teammate do such a ridiculous thing.

For AAA, all the schools are Private so they always have an advantage. The LaSalle team that won a few years ago against NA had 3 future NCAA D1 players with one (Lipkin) being drafted by the Coyotes and playing World Juniors for Team USA this year.

yes.. this is from today.

UPMC 10 dollars a person to try to look through a white net But they do have a fireplace and Starbucks
