Ok I’m done here. Sure most are happy that I’ll bow out and that’s ok. The misinformation I was seeing posted was killing me. I have never got on any boards and post anything but some of this misinformation was hurting my head. It will be what it will be and I agree with some of you on that. I am a rule follower by nature so I agree there too, gottta follow them. Seriously, peace to all of you.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Have a good night

Gets my sympathy for sure. Knows what they’re talking about. Oh…and have a good night. Don’t let it bother you too much it’s just youth hockey

Expand on that. I’m sure you think they brought in a ringer, recruited from out of state and on and on. Big cheaters they are. They had a frigging freshman goalie that by virtue of his billet lives in the district and wanted to have fun playing HS and meet kids that happen to be good and made some people butts hurt.

You’re absolutely delirious

Umm the comment I replied to said “Montour should probably not be playing A hockey with that kid”. I think I was on topic. Stay with us BTW I got nothing against QV or any HS program. I’m for letting kids play

I was using sarcasm…sorry that wasn’t clear

Esmark doesn’t pay billet families. The family that has the player pays the billet a fee. Trust me it won’t even cover the food for an athlete.

They should not have been allowed to play with a 2007 freshman Esmark AAA kid, but QV can play with an Esmark 2006 AAA sophomore goalie. Ok that sounds logical.

I don’t think anyone is playing off someone’s death. Especially someone respected in the community but you draw your own conclusions. You seem to have a done a great job walking this whole problem and coming to your own conclusions and stoking the fire as well. You must be part of the team going after Montour. ? Sad affair.

Just trying to help with all the inaccurate statements. Some of the insinuations on here are kind of mind boggling. Recruiting for PIHL hockey…AAA organizations placing kids in districts….billeting to recruit kids. I could go on and on. It’s amazing. BTW I’m not a Montour parent and do not live in district. I don't know any of the mechanics but do know he lives in the district and attended school at montour, rosters were approved, he was approved by previous commissioner to play, and was NOT recruited placed or billeted for Montour hockey. He just was excited to play a little HS hockey when he had time (10 games total but coach would have loved to play him all 20 if he was available) and happened to be pretty good so let’s screw that up. BTW there are a LOT of AAA kids playing A hockey in PIHL so it’s not like he was some ringer. I’ll let all of you play this out in your minds now and won’t bother your board any further.

He lives with a billet family that lives in the district AND attends Montour HS.

Yes, playing for a AAA USA hockey National bound team ranked in the 30s for USA hockey is a sad affair. Get a life!

Not true he attended Montour HS from start of the year.

I thought the same thing. Anyone that thinks you bring a kid to billet for Pittsburgh A HS hockey is laughable. What a ringer eh! Let’s place him in Montour district…freakin crazy thoughts for sure

He billets with a teammate so being 15 not a problem.

Montour “needing a good goalie” had nothing to do with the kid living in the district and going to school there. It just happened to be were the kid billeted….period!!! The league allowed the kid to play all year and previous commissioner reviewed the situation and had no issues with him playing for Montour. then all of a sudden when they made the playoffs and a first round bye other schools found a way to possibly take it away. He only played 10 games due to his AAA team commitments.

Define illegal goalie. Kid physically lives in the school district and physically attends the high school. He tried out for Esmark in April and made the team. His billet family placement didn’t happen until late July when the family volunteered to open house their home for him to play hockey out of state. Seen other saying Esmark places him at Montour schools. That’s prob about the funniest thing I’ve read on this so far. A AAA organization placing a kid in a school district to play PIHL hockey….that’s a good one. Obviously don’t know what the heck they’re talking about on that one. Montour school district is where his billet family lives. Not sure what else would be needed. He must have been pretty damn good. Sounds like adults doing what they do best. If you asked the kids they’d probably all say he’s fine he lives here let him play. But……..
