You are correct. Thanks!

Anyone have the initial placements?

We participated at the 18u tournament for Central. Got bronze on a tie breaker to the west. Here is how it stacked up North Team - some college kids (ACHA mostly) some T3 kids and a mix of skill form Wilkes Barre area. Lost big to East, pretty big to Central, and beat West West Team - Similar mix bit more skill from around Pittsburgh area. Beat central 5-4, lost big to East, and lost to North Central - ACHA kids from Mercyhurst, Kids from Icemen, some AA, and a mix of others. Lost to west by a goal, beat Central pretty big, and lost 6-4 (with EN) East - Basically entire team was Jr. Flyers and Genesis. Kids said team was built two months prior and had been practicing. It showed. Our central team after two games really blended and gave them a heck of a game. This tournament is huge for the Philly area apparently. Not so much elsewhere. Central had a hard time getting kids. Lots of counties but really only four or five actually have hockey. The west has a large base to draw from but their isn’t anyway PPE or Esmark is going to let their kids play! My son and the players really enjoyed it. I didn’t like the three game format. No playoff feel. Tie breakers decided 2-4.

So anyone actually answer about a goalie? Fairly certain that anything that happened in this case (based on the posts) involves minors. Slippery slope to slide down talking about minors on the internet.

I agree completely. My son is playing his last year. He’s a good player. Had opportunities when he was younger but didn’t want to completely commit in his mid teens. He wanted to live a life. He works hard to be good. Off ice. Skating. Spring etc. We started in a small org that completely met the lower floor discussion. He also plays baseball and I’ve coached that for years. The difference for us has always been commitment level. Do you do at least some off-season. I’ve had baseball kids put their gloves and bats down at the end of the season and not touch them for six months. That’s okay if you are playing rec sports. It’s not okay that you have expectations of playing over others when you get older.

In regards to the death Hess Ice Rink just spent four million dollars on upgrades. In the last five years their PAHL teams have almost doubled. They also added two co-op varsity teams, 2 JV, and 3 middle schools teams. Expectation is within 2 years a co-op will go pure then having 3 varsity programs. That investment was a business decision based on increased usage.

There is a great coach at Hess in New Castle if you are willing to travel. I’ll share info if you want. She’s Canadian and teaches hockey skating.

Yeah. It sucks. Cranberry too. Sucks the life out of the playoff games

We all know his background and decisions. That being said we played with him a couple springs. He made my son a better hockey player and I had no issues with him. May we not all be saddled with our bad decisions forever.

Some payer a higher toll

I guess they can tattle but that didn’t stop most rinks from saying they were recreation facilities and not bound by the 25. Teams were expected to abide by whatever rules. It means PIHL and PAHL may go back but tournaments and “scrimmages” will still happen 5 on 5

Wow

Because like all federal rulings it will be appealed and a stay will be issued. Current rules stay in effect until the Governor gives up or it gets to the Supreme Court. Neither of which will happen any time soon. Those who filed this had no expectation of a quick answer but are trying to set a constitutional precedent as to government powers.

I apologize. This showed up on the wrong thread.

If Wolf knew for sure that his veto would be overridden it makes no sense for him to jump on it immediately. It’s a loss for him. I apologize I don’t have it handy but multiple D representatives that voted yes are now “studying the issue. Leadership positions within the caucus, campaign funding, submitting for state appointments, and other things are all part of the arm-twisting. If any of this surprises you then you really haven’t paid attention to current or 250 years of American politics. I offer no guess as to if this veto will stand or not but I’m fairly certain some votes will change.

I guarantee you, and I have a fair share of experience in state politics, that some of the Dem representatives voted yes to assuage their voters. They are being arm twisted and promised to change their votes right now.

I’m sure as a member your could request to look at the books and have that question answered outside of this board.

I’m looking forward to the angry snitching Karen and Kyle’s to make sure the health department knows all the comings and goings. Youngstown’s rink is going to make a killing.

Why not take a drive and see? Then you can tell everyone!

I think the push should be pods as defined above. Football is okay with 22 players on the field. Pod 1 - Home team bench (<25) Pod 2 - Visiting team bench (<25) Pod 3 - Ice 12-13 i agree on people fleeing because you won’t get any kind of a discount Assume 3 lines (3 D pairs) 6.5 minutes in a 20 minute half 45 minute game 15 minutes or so a game That’s a significant reduction in ice time They did this in 3 on 3 9 skaters Lots of kids just didn’t play

This clearly sucks as the 25 person rule in effect for sports but 25% or 50% for other indoor things. If your kid is not playing 1/2 the games or rotating in and out of the locker rooms how many people are going to say hell with it. AAA? It’s going to be a financial bloodbath.

Youth football can start as early as six depending on the league. Ages go until junior high.

For 3 on 3 at RMU they are using the 25 spectators rule. They have asked players to come dressed, limited teams to 9 skaters and a goalie, and only one spectator per player. Last couple games we were at with younger teams (14u I think) security had to actually thin out the crowd as the spectator limits weren’t being followed. I understand why a rink may just ban spectators as I suspect constant drama in limiting it.

Ice is new. Still stiffening. Will get better when it cools down. Too many holes in the building to keep a good temperature
