Are they building it on campus?

Next question that will require input from multiple based on age group knowledge How many teams do we guess for 14U AA, 16U AA, 18U AA?

fascinating, are we talking verbal or physical? EDIT: Re-read original post which mentioned physical

either cuts or knew they weren't making it

Is that for 16U or 18U?

That is all high school aged girls

They always do. They have their playbook and they don't waver off of it.

1 got cut

Detroit, Ohio, Buffalo. being able to select the teams we play rather than having dictated showcases. I agree they have work to do. I just don't think blackbear is the answer.

I think PAHL has improvements to make, but I'm not driving to Philly to play PAHL level of competition. I'd rather have our own independent games and choose our own tournaments.

They released their results with 19 players posted and 6 alternates.

I know we actively avoid blackbear rinks when looking at tryouts for that reason.

Has Gunty gotten his fingers in to the Chicago market?

AAAA? I imagine you'll have a few takers on that.

Icemen, yes, Stars no (yet).

About time, there has been way too many "AAA" teams at this level for too long.

With one adjustment, the number of puck touches per player in practice is significantly higher than a game. That is why the practice to game ratio is so important.

Dowiak and DiMarsico for PSU out of PPE lighting it up tonight in NCAA tournament. Nice to see the PGH influence.

The only way it changes is if families start saying no. PAHL could be one of the strongest leagues in the country if the PLAYERS of the AAA teams ranked below 50 (usual suspects) decided to return to PAHL AA elevating the local play significantly. Organizations and coaches will continue to take your money. The change has to come from those paying the bills.

Time to rebuild

I don't imagine that went over all that well.

With the *Stars* skates happening last night, let's start the way too early what teams are going to be good conversations. Any reports from attendance at *Stars*?

Badgers? What age group are you talking about?

I would consider bringing up your concerns about the coaching to the organization. Many organizations are trying to put the right people behind the benches. Often times, they only have a parent's hockey experience to go on when naming coaches at the younger ages. If specific details are brought to their attention in a civil manner, the odds are good that they will be able to correct the current coaching staff's philosophy or look at other options for the next season.
