Includes uniforms, independent games and tournament fees too though so actually not too bad considering most others are around $3k with uniforms, independent games and tournaments all being extra.

Reading comprehension must not be your thing. Jake is the 09 coach this year (15O) Nick has the 10’s (14u) and the 12’s (12u) Ty has his favorites the 11’s (13u). He had the 09’s as well up until this year.

How are my statements false? lol I didn’t say ALL their coaches do lessons and I provided a link to their site.

They offer small group or private lessons every day from like 3-5pm with their AAA coaches. www.ichockey.net

The numbers are actually pretty even. Lets look at Pittsburgh VS Detroit. 16U and 150 Tier 1 specifically from this past season. Pittsburgh (Western PA): 1,483 registered players aged 15-16 11 total teams with approx 17 players on each (187 total) That's 12.6% of registered players on AAA teams Detroit (Michigan): 2,662 registered players aged 15-16 16 total teams with appox 17 players on each (272 total) That's 10.2% of registered players on AAA teams.

$4k tuition for a PAHL team….yikes

Not to completely derail this thread, but the Preds are a joke. You mentioned you “spoke to the coaching staff”. That’s great. They will tell you anything you want to hear to get your tryout money and if your kid sucks up to them enough, or your wife is hot and flirtatious, your kid will make the team. However, he won’t see any playing minutes unless you are ponying up and taking weekly private or small group lessons with the coach. Thats a fact. DM me for more info. I know these guys personally and have for many years. Nothing ever changes. Ask some of the 08-12’s who have left because of those exact reasons. They over promise, under deliver, and over charge you.

Does being a former one myself count?

They went 1-2 and were out scored 17-9 and that impressed you?

It’s holding them back recruiting wise. Think of how many prospective players would be enticed by brand new ON CAMPUS facilities. Bring in better talent, put a better product on ice, attract more fans.

I’m sure Black Bear would be very quick to buy the facility and keep it operational.

Yes, you have to live in the school district to play on the Jr Gold teams. They are not funded by the school and are a part of the community based organization.

Vengeance and Renegades will merge. All other youth orgs are out at Alpha. Vengeance AAA teams will use the red helmets, AA-B teams will use black. Uniforms will be slightly different. That is what I have heard from a very reliable source within the Vengeance organization.

There are some differences, CJ can skate and Posey got winded tying his.
