Yes, poster should have said we are AA hopeful. The AA designation comes from PAHL if you play in PAHL.

How does voting work at the national level? Assuming we have some kind of representation. And is there any public record of how our representative(s) voted?

Another rebrand, of sorts. Seneca Valley Raiders will remove Native American imagery and mascot from it's brand. Still keeping the name Raiders though. Seneca Valley School Board Votes To Remove Mascot, Native American Imagery (msn.com)

I say we keep the east teams in the league. The teams are often competitive in A. And War Memorial and Pegula are some of the cooler places to play.

Hockey mom bashing? That's a first for this board.

How many spots are available?

Does this tournament ever come west? Might draw more participants if it was local.

What are iceman fees?

Go Planets. Isn't the majority of the team also hockey players?

This model is used in Minnesota for high school and the Chicago amateur league kind of works this way. If you don't like your club, you get 1 free hop to another club then that's it. There is no hopping from team to team each year like some west PA families do.

oh I am so stealing this quote

Girls' district playoffs start this coming weekend. Good luck to all local girls making the trip to Cleveland. Tier 1 https://www.midamhockey.com/page/show/5022913-tier-1-girls-women-s Tier II https://www.midamhockey.com/page/show/5022916-tier-2-girls-women-s

It's not a pickle. Mt Lebo was ranked 51 out of 118 tier 1 teams. Their losses: #41 (by 1 goal) #1 (by 4 goals) #56 (by 2 goals). Their showing wasn't all that terrible and someone has to lose. This result just shows they are solidly in the middle of tier 1 teams.

Hmm. 16u AA is a pretty weak and watered down group. Mt. Lebo 04s belong at AAA. Kudos to them for finishing in the top 6 in the district at that. They would have dominated PAHL (again). This might be the most delusional comment in the history of this message board.

Yes, for Tier I. Tier II playoffs are a few weeks out yet.

Are you sure? Doors opened in mid 90s.

Commendable! 27 posts in a row not centered on COVID-19. By the way, Cranberry is just as drug infested as New Kensington, they just hide it better. Well except the time that one PPE kid got busted. In the rink. ?

By the way, for development programming at Baierl: information on in-season programs (August-February) can be found on the Wildcats web site. Information on spring and summer programs (March-July) can be found on the Baierl web site. All programming is operated by Jim Black and friends, regardless of which site you sign up on.

Here is a simple diagram for youth player progression. Please note that your player does not need to make a stop on each stair in the stair case. If she's good enough, she can hop steps as long as she qualifies by age. If she is doing learn to play now at age 6, cross ice ADM is your next step. But only after she's doing really well in learn to play. You can continue in learn to play if you don't think she is competitive yet. Nothing wrong with that as long as she's getting lots of puck touches and developing good skills. If you want to try something different, you can look for the next learn-to-play session at Baierl - they run about every 10 weeks or so, also led by Coach Black, Coach Malone, etc. You can also check with the Wildcats to see if there are any ADM openings. Baierl also does a nice girls-only development program called Lady Cats. Usually it's a spring/summer offering, and meets less frequently but helps keep girls together. You could check into that as well.

well what about like if your rob a bank?

It might not be so bad. Keep the fringe wackos out anyway.
