Well how about that? 2 Pittsburgh players on this team and yet the nay-sayers on here still bash local hockey. Seems it's mostly disappointment of their own that they are displaying.

Moreover it seems like we've really hit rock bottom.

And there will be for sure. Fresh eyes willing to take their freshly minted cash.

So will PIA need more that one sheet next season? Esmark losing teams, Huskies will be hard-pressed to field any teams this season. Maybe they could beg the Vipers to return?

One would hope that in your premature excitement you typed that incorrectly and meant 8 or 10 games total and not 8 out of 10.

Because they can't. That's it, they just can't. Welcome to real life, if they can't accept it, oh well. Good luck in life snowflakes.

I wouldn't call this statement a slam dunk. It certainly should be, but youtube/insta/tiktok along with parents and the love of the highlight play have skewed the concept of team a lot over the last 8-10 years.

Unfortunately, the Black Bear Group has done nothing but increase the costs for the players everywhere. Wasn't there a post on here mentioning Icemen at $4400 plus Uniform package, plus Coach expenses and the excessive travel? No matter where you go play, the cost of the ice is going to be about what 65-70% of a team's fees?

MF and DW Two great ambassadors for the good of hockey.

At least they still have their 07's. The greatest team that never was.

4 games under .500 and outside the top 16? If they do get in, Lucy gonna have a lotta splainin to do.

Huh, how about that? The team that was too good for Western PA hockey wasn't the best team in Western PA? Mid-State will provide a fine representation at Nationals.

That's too bad. Many memories. I learned about them in college. We knew we had become degenerate gamblers when we went "who the f is IUPUI? Oh, okay give me them plus the 12 against Bradley for a nickel"

You should have tried the the famous combo campus of IUPUI. https://www.iupui.edu/index.html

Anyone else find it odd that PIHL has chosen to play EVERY single one of these games at Ice Castle? I'm sure the teams from the north and east are just tickled about that.
