It says SSA is much more to difficult to get accepted into than Gilmour.

Dear God, what's next? Yuri taking his teams to Russia every year? Oh, wait.......

It's 18U Prep at PPE. Please make sure to use the correct terminology, lest you should offend David.

Wait, no. You must be Wolf Blitzer.

And you seem to be one of the ones that wants the hysteria to start again. Which one do you work for? CNN or MSNBC? You're actually Rachel Madow, aren't you?

It's like you have a massive wager on sports not ever being played. Every other day you post the same thing in some different form. This is getting shut down, that is getting shut down. Just watch Fox News and you'll always find out the true story.

Two words. Gretchen Whitmer. She won't be happy until the whole state is bankrupt.

So tonight is the first night where the hopes and dreams of so many future NHL'ers come crashing down after the callback doesn't come. It will affect the players but for many it's a valuable life lesson. Then there's the parents............. most of them will never get over it. Ever.

With that being the case, I would expect vaccine by months end. That organization of clowns is about as accurate as weather predictions.

I question this statement and as others have told you, if you want to stay home then stay home. Many of us do NOT want to do that.

Great post!! I agree with this "It's not the coaches fault" I disagree with this "it's the player" The player has culpability for sure. But their portion is about a third and their parents about two thirds. The kids of the parents who are constantly in their ear have such little chance to achieve what THEY want simply because of what their parents want.

PAHL HQ - that's appropriate

That's a mercy killing for the hockey event. It sucks. 3 games and no playoffs? No thanks.

That's your opinion along with the Governor and his Health Secretary. A health secretary who among other things moved her mother out of a nursing home at the very start of this mess while at the same time sent positive patients back into other homes such as the one in Beaver County. That facility is the SOLE reason Beaver county is still in the Red phase. That leaves a lot of room to question their plans as well as their motives You have your Fauci's with one opinion, people from Stanford with another and last night I saw another doctor who had his message removed from youtube just like may others have. His message was this, the schools and children weren't at risk and we closed them immediately. The senior care facilities were the highest risk and they took forever to be closed. If we left the schools open, there would have been a better chance for building herd immunity. The bottom line is this, you don't know. I don't know and I'm not sure anyone really does know. So, for two months we have listened to their "rules" and now it's time to get back to life if you're so inclined OR stay at home in fear of something that is the unknown and which the duration is also unknown. Just not the way this country is supposed to work.

There are quiet rumblings about Esmark looking for someone other than NHAHA to roster their teams. If true, it's hard to imagine the Kosick/Yuri/Posey marriage haven been so short lived.

They don't want the ice and from all indications this will be the last year coming up because the contracts run out. Maybe Southpointe will float a 2nd sheet. Otherwise, there is going to be an even bigger shortage in that area come 21-22 and beyond. There have been rumors of Alpha floating a 3rd sheet and there are always those dreams of the Hunt Armory. One would have to think that this mess has all but killed that idea though.

Not Bankrupt. In the middle of the same mess we all are.

Way to go Denis. You've awoken the Lunatic that's on the grass.

I think the majority of folks would dispute this. And that does not just include the Shaler people.

Dystopian? Yes Draconian? Yes Surprising? No Just be glad we aren't in Michigan. That crazy b@#$% may not allow hockey until she's voted out.

Sorry, I didn't mean to insinuate specific dates. They don't have an actual tryout listed for 07 and 08. They do for 18, 16, 15 and 14. They'll be fine at 18, but this year may be a tough one for Yuri. The 04's are spread out everywhere and 15's, they're spread out even more. If they have a 15 team, it will be BAD.

I visited the Esmark website yesterday (yes, I'm that bored). There is a "State of the Union" message from them, a video message. One of the interesting things I found was that they are claiming that they will have at the 06, 07 and 08 BY's. To begin with, they don't even have tryout dates listed for 07 or 08 nor do they have coaches listed for any of them including 06. Do they just throw as much shit as possible against the wall and see what will stick?

Refunds?? Yeah, right. They'll hold that money as long as possible. Some tournaments have been cancelled, some postponed to later dates. The city of Toronto has banned public events through the end of June and yet some of these companies are still saying their event in May is still on. Just another chapter in this mess.

Two rinks would never go for that, PIA and Ice Castle. Both of those rinks rely heavily on tournament revenue albeit in two very different ways. PIA uses it to stay afloat while Ice Castle uses it to fill the coffers

Dick's Sporting Goods began layoffs and furloughs yesterday. How will this affect their sponsorship of the PPE or will it not have any effect?
