  1. But then it wouldn’t be travel and parents would thumb their nose at it. Lol
  2. But is that fair. I’m not saying team to team that D2 would compete up. It’s similar to other sports with player pool. All I say is the coverage should exist at more of a level than it is. Just because of majority of the times aren’t in the north or south hills doesn’t mean they aren’t good programs. Do we ignore A football because it wouldn’t compete with 6A?
  3. Many of you may remember me complaining about the same. D2 tends to be out of the limelight and it has everything to do with perception. Hopefully that changes. It my not be deep but the top five or six are good good hockey teams.
  4. My grandson just finished his second year of mites. Still at blue level. I have witnessed more parent nonsense, screaming, almost fights than 6 years of AA. Its exclusively at the half ice tournaments. It’s stunning
  5. Yeah. We did a lot of work at Hess. Great upgrades. Increasing spectator space wouldn’t work with the budget we had. Maybe in the future.
  6. It’s definitely a mindset. I grew up in the Mon valley and now live north. One hour and fifteen minute drive. All my family act as if I’m at the end of the Oregon trail and must spend the night if they are there later than 5pm. I’ve always said for them if you cross one bridge it’s okay. Two bridges you might be going for the day. Three bridges is over night. Add a tunnel and it’s vacation.
  7. Neshannock had a lot of roster turnover and lost a great goalie. They are starting to gel and their goalie is finding a new level. They don’t have an easy final five.
  8. I was today years old when I saw an all star app travel mite blue team. For those not in the know Blue is the lowest level mite. You know. The ones supposed to be learning to skate etc.
  9. Yeah same case. 90% of the parents replaced the stick by the end with a curve. Sometimes aggressive curves
  10. I gave both my son and grandson a flat bladed stick to play with for a season in mites. This determined what hand they shot with. I also didn’t let them have any curve the first year. I wanted them to learn how to use the forehand and backhand. My grown son has a great backhand and uses a very minimal curve. We will see with my grandson.
  11. And now I got one for Printscape. Little Rebellion learn to play. Free equipment. Year round. They are coming for PPE. Pull from little pens and more young kids to their rinks at anytime if the year. I expect within a couple years BB will be looking at a true competitive AAA as well as their own league and Juniors. Things are about to really change folks.
  12. Email didn’t give a cost. Just that the gear was free. Pens LTP is like $150? With free gear.
  13. Got an email today about learn to play at Palmer. Little Badgers program. Free equipment. Year round. That’s seems to be quite the shot across the bow to the Little Pens. Equipment provided by Black Bear of course.
  14. I second this. We have a lot of smaller organizations that will never have anything above A Major in a good year. Lower in bad years. Their will always be a handful of players who would benefit from a AA level that just isn’t available at smaller organizations
