Wow..this went downhill fast!!! Can't we all just get along??? 

They are incapable.... it’s the Democrats vs the Republicans!  They’re a bunch of asstards.

Where is the best place to get skates worked on in Pittsburgh?  In need of a couple areas punched out.  Thanks

MS and JV are starting October 5th. Varsity is starting November 2nd.  5v5 with a full bench to start and they’ll se how is goes.  1 parent Per player in the stands.  May need to adjust if number of cases rise.  Schedule out by 10/1.  Info is from PIHL online meetings.

Anybody play games this past weekend?  How did your team play them?  Local only!  Don’t want to hear about Cleveland, etc.  You don’t have to name your team.  Just trying to gauge what teams are doing locally.  Playing full games, full benches, full contact, and what rink?

Here's another question.  If my red helmet team decides to don blue sweaters and play in PAHL, do I get invoiced twice for season fees?  One from Vengeance and one from SCIR?   Or is it just one invoice?  If so, from who?   SCIR?  Vengeance?  Venegades?

I think it’s funny that you even care.  What’s the difference, as long as they pay their bill to whoever.

When they started the 08’s, I believe, the thought was that the minor year of squirts would get 16 games or so in PAHL AA in Pittsburgh.  Limiting the travel, somewhat, for a 9 year old.   Go ahead, put them down for that.

No it’s really not, he owns the rink and the vengeance. I personally know him. You can say money is changing pockets however you like but in the end he is the owner. 

Want his number?  I know him also, 18+ years.    Well before he was a rink owner.  Whoop ta Di do!  Simply put, yes the money all still goes to the rink. But let me clarify, the Vengeance buy some of SCIRs contracted ice.  Note the word SOME.   You think that you know friggin everything because, ooooh, a couple of your kids played for the PPE.  So what, others know a bunch and have been around the block also.  I’ll get back to my reading and laughing now.  Especially at Quinlan.Peace Out!

I think you're just trolling now. And instead of asking on here, why not ask the SCIR Board or Vengeance management? Because you're trolling.

Exactly!

Just now, Jack Handey said:

So rink ownership and Vengeance ownership are not the same?

That’s the conclusion that you came to?  Ownership and being the same business or not are two different things.

SCIR buys ice from rink.  Vengeance buys ice from SCIR.  But Vengeance and rink are owned by same guy?  Why wouldn't Vengeance just buy ice from the rink?  

They buy ice from both! Complicated, I know.

The good dr owns the rink and vengeance, Scir buys ice from him. You are correct about USA hockey roster software. 

Wrong!

No argument here.  The question is how is a for-profit allowed to co-mingle and interoperate with a non-profit.  

Not on a Vengeance team or an SCIR team, but was in the past.

Bottom line, the Vengeance is rostered by SCIR and they buy some ice from SCIR.  Otherwise no affiliation!  The collect their own fees and pay their own expenses.  SCIR teams do NOT subsidize any part of the Vengeance organization.

Squirt minor has been the only exception in playing PAHL for the first year.  Even at that, they pay all PAHL fees and game fees.

Get over yourselves!  I guess it’s at least hockey talk and not F'ing CoVid Politics.

I believe that's being misinterpreted. I think that is specific to the National Team program and it's feeder systems. With that said, tryouts for and possibly even an actual season for 2020-21 seem to be in more peril with each and every passing day. Keeping my fingers crossed that one of these days soon, one of the biotech companies is going to figure out how to cure the virus and the nightmare will begin to end.

Funny just noticed you called the other team “preds 2”. Guess what. The Pahl banner that will be hanging at ice castle will have all the kids names on it, along with the coaches. I bet that’s going to sting. The extended Pahl playoffs banner doesn’t get names. Jokes on you buddy, salty much ? 

 

FYI, ALL 3 banners have names on them.  Just saying!

You do sound like a dick.  People on this forum either complain that kids are playing for faux AAA teams or shit on them when they play AA, work hard and earn the right to play at Tier II nationals .  

I’ll second that!  This board is so stupid anymore.  Many of you think that you are the king of hockey,, you got your thumb on the pulse, that you know everything and your word is 100% true facts.  Opinions are only opinions.  I’ve got opinions also.  The bonus for me is that my opinion could possibly be changed from a civil conversation.  That doesn’t happen very often on here.

Best of luck to all who won today.  Esmark Stars, Pittsburgh Pens Elite, Ohio Blue Jackets, Cleveland Barons, Pittsburgh Predators, Arctic Foxes, Steel City Ice Renegades.

On another note.     I can’t wrap my head around letting my 11 year old make a 10,000 dollar decision

Actually, 2011’s are 9, not 11.  Two hour practices,  can’t wrap my head around what gets accomplished in the last 30-40 minutes of that practice twice a week.  Not putting Vengeance down, just seems very odd.  A good high tempo practice with kids that listen should only be 70-80 minutes tops.

Don’t have to be a DB!  He was there at some point.

What does he have to do with Gilmour?

He was the HC.  Maybe not anymore???

He was the HC.  Maybe not anymore???

Why would Aubin leave Gilmour?  These guys aren’t doing it for free.  Are the player fees 6-7k each?  Crazy stuff!  I know that their MO is to try to take kids away from PPE, but this is a bit nuts.

I don't think the team is picked, they have three or four kids on that team that will go to their Jr. Team, will leave and go back home, or might not want to play on a prep team... My guess is that they will have almost 40-50% turnover.  The core will be there, the top 8-10 players, who knows after that!

Yes, I believe you are correct in estimating the 50%++ turnover from the CURRENT 18U team.  2003’s move up!  A few 02’s, many 03’s, possibly an 04??? Special group, those 03’s don’t forget that fact.  The high ups are not going to let their grand plans go by chance.  IMO, Team is full!
