Why should you care if parents want their kids to play AAA.
Ah, the classic retort. Is it ground hog day?

correct. bombs away!

Yeah, a playoff would make it a little more meaningful. And move the event to State College. Seems like a pretty central location for all.

Got my new rulebook. Does anyone else find that it feels twice as thick as the last rulebook?

10 minute video from USAH explaining the changes.

A nice compilation of local hockey history has been collected on the PAHL web site. Good job Vince Comunale!
HISTORY (pahockey.com) Some brief remarks about PAHL history.
Timelines (pahockey.com) Chronological lists of rink openings and PAHL membership.
Association Pages (pahockey.com) Looks like some older photos & memorabilia.

Motion to unpin from the top. This discussion, like the event before it, needs to fade away.

All PAHL reps aren't on the placement committee. Best case they attend the monthly meetings and are privy to whatever update the placement committee gives.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Squirt goalies are hard to come by. Please try not to wreck another team's season by poaching.

Ever consider that there is an MHR volunteer on the PAHL placement committee? The committee has a few left brained mathy types, which coincidentally fits the profile of most MHR volunteers.

It's all one entity really and all the $$$$ flows to the owner.
That's a pretty dubious alignment for a youth association. I would stay away and if you have no other choice, keep an eye on your wallet and ask a lot of questions.

I heard the rink owner on the board of directors. Can anyone verify?

Oh for sure not making playoffs. But won't be dead last. Even with a .900 goalie you aren't going to win if you give up 50+ shots every game.

Why not just put it on youtube to begin with?

Icemen 18u will be better this year - the goalie is outstanding and they have lots of returning 03s. They will not be bottom this year.

Couldn't they still be true national contenders and play a PAHL schedule plus independent games? Don't they already do that?
No. Playing a local schedule would give credibility/plausibility to other orgs and they have nothing to gain by doing that. If they win, they were supposed to win. If they lose, then they are exposed as noncontenders.

I think the whole point was to get the kids on the lesser AAA teams, like Icemen and the Preds, to play PAHL.
They all walked away from PAHL to begin with, citing that they were too good for the local competition.

If PAHL offered a "AAA" division for major birth years starting at 12U it would be well received
This won't get participation from the teams that are true national contenders. And by the way, they all think they are national contenders.
