So by your comment, would having shitty coaches at AAA ( yes there are many ) make it a AAA issue?
There are some AA coaches at multiple age levels that can run circles around some of the AAA coaches in western PA. And anyone out there that thinks they are guaranteed great coaching at the AAA level is smoking some really good rope.
Just sayin'
Unfortunately all the independent/“faux AAA” teams impact the other players and families who would love to play a good, competitive, LOCAL schedule. That is why people get frustrated with organizations like Icemen that take some talent and travel all over the place instead of playing PAHL.
