    When you start adding Hotel rooms, Plane Tickets, rental cars, gas, and food, it adds up quick for sure!

    If PAHL was a better product I think more kids would be willing to stay and play!  They do nothing for player recognition,  AHF keeps stats and all star teams for a little recognition for the kids at a minimal cost!  When is the PAHL going to Gamesheet or even using the software they have correctly?  PIHL can do it!  Why can't the PAHL?

    PAHL goes out of their way to hide player stats and if they do go to Gamesheet I'm sure they will do the same. Their refusal to adapt is just going to lead to more and more teams playing for the AFH.

    looks like an 8th grade computer class website, no info or anything. Who is trying to. spear head this now? and another aaa team in Pgh.  just what the community needs more faux aaa/aa teams 

    I am sure it's someone who's kid is playing AA now and wants that extra A or an AAA kid or parent who isn't happy with their current org and yes the website is bad 

  3. This is directly from the Renegades/Tier 2 Vengeance Website, so they are anticipating close to 55 games I would guess its all based on the coach and the teams commitment level as to the exact number of games that get played. 

     

    • Team will include top talent from the 2011 birth year
    • Includes 6-8 summer skills sessions
    • Includes 2 weekday practices (+weekends when available, 75-80 practice throughout season)
    • Includes weekly workouts or yoga sessions (28-32 throughout season)
    • Includes bi-weekly off-ice coaching sessions (20-25 throughout season)
    • 4-5 tournaments/showcases (may require overnight travel, tournament budget included)
    • Includes 8-12 independent games (may require overnight travel)
    • 45 - 55 games in total
    • Team will participate in PAHL 13U AA

    Tier I and Tier II are the only designations that USA Hockey recognizes.  AAA, AA, etc. are skill levels typically applied by leagues to distinguish their different levels and groupings.  Independent teams are outside of league designations and can say they are whatever they want.  The problem is that people always use these terms interchangeably when technically they are not.  Tier I does not automatically mean AAA and Tier II does not automatically mean AA, etc.  These AAA/AA skill designations generally were a factor of age level, but were more about team depth.  The AAA/AA skill designations only mean something when they are given by respective leagues and tournaments and used for separating team levels.  You now of the "AAA-Elite" designations to separate the top AAA teams from everyone else.     

    Tier I means that teams can and do recruit and billet players from all across the country/world to assemble the best possible team they can regardless of where the players come from.  Tier II requires that players generally reside within 50 miles of the teams home rink (varies by region) with some exceptions.  Tier II was generally just the top AA programs from the respective local leagues (PAHL) and used to be happy playing each other to be the best local team.  Tier I was reserved for the best teams who typically played outside of the local area and basically were "independent" or played in "AAA" level leagues and competed with the best of other regions.  They used to be better/higher than the top "AA" teams from the local leagues.  

    Tier I and Tier II officially only applies to 14U teams and up (now 13U at Tier I) and only those teams officially competing for the respective Tier I or Tier II National Championship, although associations emerged as "Tier I Programs" and typically refer to all their teams as Tier I, while other programs try to field both Tier I and Tier II (and all other level) teams.  My understanding was that USA hockey was cracking down on programs fielding only 1 or 2 "Tier 1" teams.  You basically had to have a full Tier I (14U, 15O, 16U, 18U) program.  This limits the teams actually eligible to compete - but this doesn't mean teams can't call themselves whatever they want, whether it means anything or not.

    Obviously it is always about money and teams can charge more and make more money the higher level they call themselves and try to compete - whether they are at that level or not.  The thing about MyHockeyRankings is that it gives a rating and teams are ranked accordingly regardless of what they call themselves. 

    This was a good explination!

    In my opinion (isn't worth much) there are good players on almost all AAA teams. Just not enough of them. Once again most folks here will tell you that if your team isn't ranked in the top 25 of Tier 1 it's a Faux AAA team.   I didn't know that the Aviators were trying to put together a AAA team.  What age group?  I'm guessing they had a good AA team they think can move up! Most likely they will end up in the bottom of AAA!

    So they claim they are playing an "AAA" independent schedule but are declaring for the Tier 2 National Championship so AAA but not really I guess?

    That's a first for them. Since their inception, they had only ever been known as the final home for malcontents. Now, the malcontents are so many they just migrate from place to place like the Nomads.

    They go to the Aviators now 😂

    Was this an invite only tryout. Who is the coach? What level?

    From what I've been able to gather it was mainly kids who tried out and did not make the 2011 team. I've asked multiple times who the coach is and have yet to get an answer. My son's team had 2 kids leave to play on this team so I assume it's happening and if it's not some kids are gonna be left without a team
