Ranking out Bantam 2009: pens 14th Vengeance 46th shaha 67th Pred 76th esmark 102nd 2008: Vengeance 2nd Pens 3rd 08 all Shaha 56th 08all Preds 94th 08all Esmark 118th 08all not sure people can say anymore that pens, vengeance, and esmark are the only 3 “real” aaa anymore

Although you could end up with State College, Erie, Altoona, Beaver, Wheeling, Youngstown or a combo of those. We had State College, Erie, and Altoona in our division before. You can end up playing some of those twice and with regular tournaments too, still a lot of travel and $

Except for Viper stars. They probably pay more than most local aaa and play aa and independent

What about 09 icemen/yetis that went Independent? They barely won any games in aa last year. What’s the point of not playing Pahl

Did you ever hear of growth vs fixed mindset? Being the best that you can be at whatever you are doing at that particular time?

The 2007 team canceled tryouts anyway

I just mean they will be criticized either way. Criticized if they stay PAHL and criticized if they play independent

Teams can’t win in this position. Mt Lebo 2004 played PAHL AA a few years ago and went undefeated and was criticized for not playing independent AAA and winning all their PAHL games. But then when teams win divisions and want to go independent, they are accused of trying to get the third A.

you know a lot for a spectator

But those that were cut from 16u esmark then went to 16u Vengeance

Tampa supposedly has a really good program

Preds website shows for tryouts only 18u and 16u as AAA for next year

one went to Florida alliance. One to esmark after being told not to try out at vengeance again. Possibly both pens goalies to vengeance ?

Isn’t this similar to what happened to mon valley, ice miners, Westmoreland eagles? all losing teams rapidly

definitely should be told they aren’t going to make it again so they can find another team-also trimming down players after 2 nights of tryouts would also help people move on

is this why Vengeance 09 lost both goalies

head 09-08 coach’s son is a goalie

It is required by PAHL now. We already got an email from our organization. The kids have to wear them in all PAHL games this weekend.

Not sure. Gyms will have to require it for group exercise classes I read. Negative covid test 72 hours prior to entering PA, so tournaments may have issues.

Press conference at 1pm........

Michigan is now shut down for hockey. Were they supposed to have nation’s cup there?

As of today, now PA has 40 states on the do not travel list.

Maryland is limiting travel to 35 states that are over the 10% rate but then it says that WV, VA, PA, and DC are exempt

Canceled their 16uAA pahl game for 10/31 already

Mt Lebanon already is canceling games.
