Squirt and PeeWee 2024-2025
hockeydadx3 replied to James Gatz's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
Definitely a goalie shortage for the 13s and 14s. Could eventually be a good thing though. Kids that go in goal too early lack the skating skills they need. I am sure the goalie numbers will increase over time. -
2024-25 Teams Seeking Players
hockeydadx3 replied to Paul Baxter's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
Oh, that’s interesting. When Paul started this chain I thought he said, “THIS IS NOT A THREAD FOR DEBATE ON THE MERITS OF TEAMS. JUST A SPACE TO ALLOW OPENINGS TO BE POSTED.” I must of been mistaken. -
What will happen to the good 2009 AA PAHL teams?
hockeydadx3 replied to RJUSHL's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
Hahaha. fafa fohi and aaaahockey LOVE a good AAA failure story. aaaahockey, where are you when we need you??? -
Hahahahahaha. There in no bigger proponent of the Pens is a waste and all other AAA teams in the area are Faux AAA filled with parents searching for the extra A. You have the respect the consistency of the guy.

Sounds pretty accurate

Sounds like you know something hockey55. Share.

Oh wow. Didn’t think about that. aaaahockey, is that the best option for these kids!?!

CranjisMcBasketball, I agree 100%. The challenge is it seems this board completely agrees that Pens does things unfairly and it’s a waste of money and all the other AAA organizations in the region are fake AAA teams full of parents in search of an additional A. What is one to do?? Play basketball? It seems like the only option left.

USA Hockey Nationals start today!
hockeydadx3 replied to hockeyisgreat's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
The big takeaway regarding Pens is 90% of the people on this chain have kids good enough to play for the team but they are smart enough to not waste their money and choose to play for their local high school and PAHL hockey instead. -
USA Hockey Nationals start today!
hockeydadx3 replied to hockeyisgreat's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
Wow, there is a guy that pays a TON of attention to the Pens program without having a kid on a team. Any other sound data points you have to prove your point? -

hockeydadx3 replied to hockeyisgreat's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
Pa Hockey, no worries. Pucks11 has developed a sound strategy to develop a national bound tier 1 team that will regularly bring home national championships for Western PA. You can read all about it in the “You might be a delusional hockey parent” thread. -
You might be a delusional hockey parent
hockeydadx3 replied to dazedandconfused's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
Oh wow. Most anti pens posters are also in the camp that all the other AAA teams in the area are faux AAA teams filled with kids whose parents are searching for that additional A. It’s hard to keep track. Sorry for the assumption. One constant on this forum is all the trolls come out of the woodworks when a Pens team loses to a local team. Good for you, a Vengeance team beat a Pens team twice. Really something to hang your hat on. -
You might be a delusional hockey parent
hockeydadx3 replied to dazedandconfused's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
Pucks11, you seem to be a guy that has it all figured out. Ever consider starting a team with all your AA castoffs that can beat Pens 8 out of 10 times? You could buy an 18 wheeler and cover it with all your tier 1 national banners and drive around town. It would be quite the flex. Just a thought… -
Looks like parents in Detroit are burning their money as well. Glad @fafafohi and the crew have it figured out or what would we all do??

hockeydadx3 replied to RJUSHL's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
One can almost say the only pathway to the NHL is through playing AA hockey and for your local High School team. Play AAA if you want to burn cash. -

Be careful stating such a thing on this forum. Unless you have your kid play AA hockey within 15 minutes from your home until they head to college you are an irresponsible parent.
