@RJUSHL what teams do you recognize as missing?

An assistant coach for a junior team in Minnesota was reportedly relieved of his job after being caught in an alleged child solicitation. Wilderness hockey coach loses job following sex solicitation allegations | www.WDIO.com So troubling and awful.

It's like reading a library book with a few pages torn out.

I am preparing to be underwhelmed. When do you plan to make the big reveal?

yeah understood but several signings are made public and wouldn't it be useful to have one page where all teams tenders were located vs having to visit a bunch different web sites? there are what 29 teams in nahl?

You know what else would be useful? A signed tenders web site. Which of you smart techie guys can get on that?

Look at it on a PC or laptop and not your phone. You'll see birth location and last team, which seem to fall off the screen on a phone. You can also click on the kid's name to get more info on the kid. Agree, the page is not designed very well - seems to be a pre- smartphone relic. I think I see one kid there from western PA, an 04 who played PPE in the past.

Not much love for western PA hockey in the NAHL draft today. https://nahldraft.rinknet.com/

Rock on AMR24. Thanks for putting in the hours.

Sure it does, especially when the perspective is you are the tail and you are wagging the dog. It's not just 18u. Any 16u AA or A Major team has the same problem because most of those kids are playing varsity too. Hey, at 16u/18u, I agree their focus expands beyond hockey. There is social life, part-time jobs, girlfriends, etc. Add to that, you lose a few weekends for standardized tests, a few weekends for homecoming and other dances. There just isn't time in the course of the season for HS teams to hog entire weekends. And there's no recourse for the youth teams - their swim lane is fixed to Saturday and Sunday, and they can't decide to move PAHL games or weekend tournament games to a random Monday Tuesday or Thursday.

NCDC entry draft was published last night. Per the web site, each team was made to keep drafting until they have 70 players protected. Yep, that reads SEVEN ZERO (!) In an attempt to get younger, the league restricted selections to 2005 and 2006s instead of the traditional junior range (2002 to 2006). Peters/SHAHA kid taken in round 28. Congrats. https://www.usphl.com/news_article/show/1225151

and leftover 06s. Including a 06 Baron just now - one of the ones mentioned above.

USHL draft done. 2 Barons, 3 PPE taken. Also within district, 2 Culver. Lots from Shattuck, Mission, Little Caesars, Honeybaked, and many others.

USHL draft underway. One of the Barons kids just taken there too in 3rd round by Youngstown Phantoms.
