Wow! That is close. With how people were talking about that one goalie last year I wonder if montour would be up there too, Ha! Call me crazy… but I have a feeling upper saint claire may end up in the finals this year…
Agreed the kid did nothing wrong. But also from my sources I heard that the judge said that montour didn’t fool anything wrong, but the pihl broke there own bylaws and started playoffs early because of what seems like they were scared of a 14 year old taking over there league. But totally agree the kid should get 0 blame.
I’m not attempting to get sympathy in any way. Especially on a board where everyone just blabs their mouth about whatever they hear. I’m not affiliated with montour in any way, I’m just trying to spread awareness to people like you who don’t know what they’re talking about. Have a wonderful day!
I agree with some of what you’re saying, but by saying “those esmark kids” sounds like you’re almost stereotyping them to be bad. And to my knowledge the billet family who is sending there kid to play pays the billet family hosting it.
From what I’ve heard the kid was 14 when he moved and beating 18 year olds. he was probably taking on a lot of stress and other things at the time. All he wanted to do was play hockey and now there’s a team who’s mad because they didn’t get into playoffs. And which the team is trying to take advantage of the commissioner who died who gave the goalie permission. Sad life to stop a 14 year old kid from playing the sport he loves, Wild.
Ah yes because the billet family would take on that stress and responsibility just to have a good high school team. I’m sure most aaa kids don’t even care that much about high school hockey.
What it seems like to me is that the commissioner gave the goalie approval, then which he died and now Avonworth is trying to take advantage of his death and cheat there way into playoffs. ?
