BC has a reputation for running their top dogs in blow out games to pad their stats.

More kids from D2 have been drafted or moved on to the next level than any other division 

Do your homework

And this is why you can’t have stats.  Would you trust this guy?  There is at least one on every team. His kid probably has phantom secondary assist on every goal he is in there for.  As someone previously said - the parents ruin it. 

Good point 

His kid plays on the forth line because they don't have a 5th line

Why exactly do we need all these stats? Tier II and lower is not typically where you find your future NHLers. The league does have a huge recruitment problem, however. My team kept stats usually so the one time I needed them in over a decade of playing, I had them. I think it would just make the insane landscape....insane. I am fairly certain that a few of the posters lamenting this belonged to teams who heavily recruited.

I don't disagree that PAHL could use some updating. Kids are on social media. Even PIHL has done a great job in the last few years promoting kids and the league. If they don't want to publish individual stats, they could do other things. As can individual organizations. When a kid gets a hattie in a game or goalie gets a shut out, for example. So much is volunteer driven, however, and the fact of the matter is that people crap all over you. A lot.

Other sport teams use max prep or elite prospects 

But for kids to get looks from colleges this counts weather it's D1 to D3 or club

What a good game

Too bad a dad from Armstrong that was working the clock was giving the Predators kids the finger and trash talking them after a 0 to 0 game

Who does that?

No pahl rep was present at game

And the president of Armstrong didn't care

Maybe that guy was counting shots hard to record shots with your middle finger up

Plus let's face it no home team does there own goalie any favors by no posting the right shots

But pahl doesn't keep stats anyway

18U had some close competition. Preds beat Mt Lebo in overtime Saturday coming back from 2 - 0 deficit in the third. Arrows beat Preds in shootout after two five minute over times to win PAHL 18U yesterday. 

I saw that on live barn

Preds coach called timeout with 38 seconds left in 3rd shorthanded with face off in their zone

Drew up a perfect play to score then shortly after win it in overtime 

Here to find out Lebo coach left after 2nd period to watch his other kid play

I heard Lebo parents were pissed

The championship was a 0 to 0 tie after 2 overtime periods 

They should have went to 3 on 3 overtime to decide a winner 

Hate to see a championship go to a shoot out

Looks like the score is correct on MHR for the Armstong/Preds game to me.  Maybe it was just recently updated.  What I'm trying to figure out is how the Preds lost to the PAHL Badgers team that has 6 wins all year.

It is now thanks for fixing that

You know the preds should submit a correction?   Also the teams that beat them could submit those scores?   All of this is pretty easily fixable. 

But Armstrong has to approve it since they are in charge of my hockey rankings in this area 

Armstrong still didn't fix when they lost to the preds now they have hem playing twice this weekend 

Let's wait till after Wednesday when rankings come out and don't post the other games this weekend 

How is Armstrong ranked 7th in 18u tier 2

They are responsible for reporting scores for tier 2 to my hockey rankings 

Their score goes in immediately 

And don't post other teams for awhile to benefit themselves 

They just posted that they  beat the preds but they didn't 

I'm sure it was a HONEST mistake that will take weeks to fix

They lost to the preds twice 

They tied Np/ lebo/ Allegheny / rennagades

Don't get me wrong they have played good teams but 7th in the country ?

How do you determine how many kids on the roster actually attend Canevin? It doesn’t show on the PIHL website. Is it because you are a Canevin insider and know this for a fact? I’d like to see where each kid actually attends school. 

Oneanddone listed it

Haven’t beaten my team. I am actually a fan of Bishop Canevin as I am a graduate of the school and played there myself. Maybe this year’s team has  only 8 kids on the team that attend Canevin. But in the last few years there have been more than enough kids to field a pure team. I know this because I attended games to support my old team and talked to kids a number of times that were not playing, and they attended Canevin. I am talking 5 or 6 kids a game. There have been plenty of schools that play with less than a full team of skaters in the pure divisions. In fact, there have been teams in AA that have played without a full roster. (Which is another failure by PIHL). You can be a fan of a team or school and still disagree with how they make up their team. Good luck to Canevin the rest of the way! 

It doesn't matter how many kids from 1 team dress for a game it goes by the roster there has never been enough Canevin kids on the roster to go pure since they went to D 2 division

Nobody in Class A from PIHL has shot at States in my opinion. 

You keep mentioning teams that have competitive and full JV teams should be in 2A. There are teams that have been barely able to field a JV team that have been forced to play AA and it has showed that they didn’t belong there. The competitive balance formula needs to take that as a more serious reason for not moving teams up. As well as taking into consideration how many seniors a team loses. North Hills is a perfect example of that this year. 
 

Bishop Canevin should have been removed from the open class years ago. They have had enough kids that attended the school to field teams without the Co-op players. They have played many many games with kids that actually attend the school watch from the stands while the co-op players played in every game. They manipulate the system so they can have their outstanding co-op players play all the while they could field a team without them. It is a shame that PIHL has let this happen. But I guess no one should be surprised by their lack of action as they have been manipulated before. When Moon won the open Class championship they had ONE player that didn’t attend Moon. It was an excuse not to play AAA that year. Which was also a ridiculous ask of Moon after losing so many seniors the previous year. 

 

Just checked 8 Penguin cups and only 2 loses in 3 years

Went to Nationals the last 2 years and probably going again this year

How bad did they beat your kids team?

No Jv team to hide kids like other organizations and only 38 kids in their freshman class 

There is 8 kids from Canevin on the team

Before you say Catholic schools recruit in D2 you can recruit a whole  school 

Just get better!

Not hating 

Jimmy's a great guy just thought having Baierl as a backer I expected more

Really only two ice rinks make money in this area

Ice castle and PPE ( tax free)

Too much down time and to much overhead 

Bairel is a dump super dirty

Locker rooms are to small

And the benches are 2 foot wide and big enough for 15 players 

I thought Jimmy was going to fix that place up

New lights and nothing else 

Mount Lebanon is like playing in a greenhouse 

Ice is soft

And locker room fits maybe 10 players

Ice castle all new boards best glass you can buy

Always freshly painted and clean

UPMC 10 dollars a person to try to look through a white net

But they do have a fireplace and Starbucks

Not entirely true for PPE players. My understanding is they can’t play HS and miss PPE practices and games but can still play HS.  
 

Now whether or not they would want to us a different story.  I think some of these programs to include even some tier II programs are playing 60-90 games plus practices, with most weekends being 3-5 games in 2-3 days.  That’s an insane amount imho- but if that’s what people want to do, more power to them. I just don’t think for overall development it’s the best nor should people feel compelled to. The body and mind can only take so 

 

 In the past you had to sign a agreement not to play high school hockey 

Name one player from PPE that plays high school 

The semi and final should be at PPG downtown 

The rink paided by our taxes dollars 

Pens elite players not allowed to play high school 

What do the pens do for high school hockey 

Nothing

Who really cares?  It's over!  Let the Montour folks think and talk about what could have been. It's all they have!  So SAD!

But why did a PIHL board member start this thread anyway 

And why are board members posting

I’m old - it’s hard to sugar coat things. I just tell it like it is. Both of my boys played, I played & coached (never them). I’ve watched how much the game has changed since I was young, all the way up to my youngest aging out and being done. I’ve watched the sport turn into pure business at the youth level, now I’m watching the college level - both acha & ncaa turn into pure businesses. 

This comes from a coach who asked for more and more money every year to coach

Until they fired you

The way you all melt down anytime it seems like Montour may be making an argument against the hollow accusations out there… so telling. None of you know the facts. You don’t even know if it was cheating. You’re just some weirdo who gets off on controversy found good company on this board. 
 

Most of what is posted here is hearsay. As far as I know, not a single person directly involved as posted here, or has posted any facts about their position.

The good news is, you’re here projecting your personality disorders on this board. Likely having been weeded out of the hockey community so you aren’t able to do anything but bitch on a message board. Thus ensuring the wellbeing of others.

Coach asked for more money every year must be related to Mort

And he is on this thread by the way

Foreign players must have a F1 visa

They can only go to schools that have sevis papers from the government 

So only private schools with the exception of Mount Lebanon has them

You can have 2 Foreign players on your roster and stay in the division you are currently in

You can have up to 4 players but you have to play AA or AAA 

QV complains and cheats any chance they can

They have a kid from another school district that pays tuition
