I’ve heard a handful of former players will be coming back. The kids currently on campus will begin training together this year . I’m guessing the transfer portal will provide some players next year as well. For those commenting on trusting the program? The man responsible for eliminating it is gone - which to me speaks volumes and the community rose up and supported the program like never before financially. Many of the same people coaching and recruiting are still there or returning. It was an excellent program both in the men’s and women’s side.

To all the guys who make it happen for their kids!

My son played last year and will play this yeah. We did well even against the stacked Philly team. It was a fun weekend. That’s all it is. Think it’s a money grab? Don’t play. There I fixed it. BTW our team last year was mostly ACHA D1/2, few AAA (have fun defining that), and the rest mostly AA. Roster who tries out. As large as the central region is it’s basically beaver/Lawrence and Erie with some central pa. philly shows up with genesis/jr. Flyers

I thought his comment odd, too, in light of exactly what you said. Politics comes into play every where you go. If you are picking between the same level of talent, some other factor comes into play, including I know this kid and his family thus they are a known entity. But it could be lots of things, like ...your kid is a known trouble maker...you are bad in the stands....etc. This is a small hockey town. By the time your kid hits U18, everyone knows someone who knows your kid.

Seems @FNFA has a son that got cut from the SCIR U-18 team and is sore about it. Since this team is coming off winning a national championship, I would put my trust in those running this team over you.

To all the Dad Coaches. What a thankless job!

Sorry about the outage since 6pm last night 6/17. Our hosting provider was upgrading their entire network. We are back online now. The site should be up to 3X as fast now. Thanks all- PB

Big Announcement coming - NEW Coach at Bishop McCort - WoW ! I am not shocked TBA

I am preparing to be underwhelmed. When do you plan to make the big reveal?

The problem that has existed with this for years is that the East puts really good AAA talent on their teams and has quite a few practices before the event. The other two teams have to travel to ty he east and don't attract the same level of talent. 16u AAA Vengeance and Icemen are not AAA. Some I would bet are A Major knowing who those programs took. Not fun when the odds are stacked before you get out of the gate.

Cannot find the rosters - can you provide a link please? Thanks.

I would say the first rule of hockey is to stay away from skills coaches that are team coaches and team coaches that are skills coaches. Keep those separate.

call it how it really is. Pittsburgh is not a hockey hot bed like alot of folks think it is. the best kids once they hit midgets leave bc there is nothing else for pgh to offer them and the really good ones that stay end up for the most part usphl premier or ncdc.

You should ask PPE if you can be named their Official WPA Hockey Message Board Ambassador.

Let me take a guess, they've handed the fox the keys to the henhouse? Yuri
