2022 CHMA PLAYOFFS - ACHA Nationals
sadday4hockey replied to Pa Hockey's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
Can anyone say Juwan Howard? Is it possible that the media is the main culprit in all of this craziness that is exploding everywhere due to the over-saturation we get of all the nonsense? The media LOVES this crap, some stations only exist because of it. Maybe we see so much of it that some people's subconscious minds normalize it and it gets worse? Or.... I could be deep in wishful thinking mode and about to get crushed on here. Either way, thoughts? -

Tier 2 Rankings for PAHL Teams
sadday4hockey replied to Hattrick Swayze's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
Hockey across the country has suffered a huge setback in hockey IQ due the overwhelming focus on skills, skills and more skills. Players need to be taught the basic concepts even at the youngest ages. Otherwise it's bee-hive hockey until well......... the beer league. -

The curmudgeons say that. The nice thing is that these are all local kids. No imports like the Tier 1 teams. -
USA Hockey failed again

Oh, and when I went to close the Yahoo article, they had locked article comments. I guess they need to protect the sick bastard's feelings. -
USA Hockey failed again
sadday4hockey replied to nemesis8679's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
When an entity whether it be a governing body like USA Hockey or a private company is a monopoly, there will always be problems like this. Protect the entity at any cost. Sort of like the CCP. -
PA Hockey Top 5 Western Pa Rankings
sadday4hockey replied to Pa Hockey's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
Conscious bias. -
If your 12U or younger team has a set group of players for the PP, you should ask the Coach, why? Roll your lines, teach them all PP and SH situations and you will be surprised at who are some of the more capable players in these situations. PK requires a lot of thinking and desire. PP requires an understanding of spacing and puck movement. Nowadays, all of these traits can be difficult to find in players.

Hunt Armory Ice Rink
sadday4hockey replied to RegDunlop7's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
It's real simple. Just follow the money. In the end, the Western PA taxpayers will have paid and the machine will have somehow bled another rock dry. Think...... URA purchased the building. Where doe the URA get their funding? Penguins Foundation, where do they get their funding? -
That's one of the perils with non-parent coaches, they often times regard it as "their" team and make decisions based upon their own personal agenda. It's incumbent upon the organizations to keep them in line.

Hunt Armory Ice Rink
sadday4hockey replied to RegDunlop7's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
So, with all of the effort that has been put forth for this to happen is it safe to assume that the recent news of the Penguins sale was an impulse move? It seems like Burkle and 66 must have been sitting there recently and said to each other....... well, the team sucks right now and we can't sell tickets to anyone. Time to sell and let it be someone else's problem. Oh..... and just to belabor another point, I guess this group will go down in history of having completely failed the very community that they promised a complete redevelopment of their neighborhood. -

Armstrong vs Mars incident
sadday4hockey replied to sutton's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
The Armstrong players were not the problem here. Poorly-parented students, adults in the stands, security, the Riverhawk board members and Coaches all have some responsibility that they failed to act upon. The players were/are to do what to satisfy you, Sutton. This is going affect them for a long time both on and off the ice. Maybe, just maybe it's time to stop the rhetoric and start the healing process? Not saying forget it and move on, saying find ways to bring the game back to together. -
Armstrong vs Mars incident
sadday4hockey replied to sutton's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
Sutton, I don't think anyone is treating it as eh, just Armstrong. It's just that it's a behavior that has gone on there since the 80's and possibly longer. Something definitely needs done. It will be interesting to see how it is handled at a variety of levels from the Arrows Hockey program to the School District to the PIHL and MidAm. It's difficult for me to say at what level the officials are culpable, but one thing is for sure and that is that incidents like this that will continue to cause officials to stop skating games. -
Armstrong vs Mars incident
sadday4hockey replied to sutton's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
This is even hard to believe for Armstrong. Every year they have multiple incidents there that make you scratch your head, but this is really BAD!!!
