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?

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.

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.

100% - publish them anytime possible, but once published they're final. Parents F off.
Don't get me wrong, so do I enjoy seeing my kid's accomplishments where others can see them on web pages such as the PIHL and others as they progressed.
However, having watched any of those games I will also know which kid won important face-offs. Blocked shots, hard fore-check, positioning and all the other things nemesis mentioned are what create good hockey players and better teammates. I can leave the rink knowing his stats, if any but more importantly acknowledge the little things that few people notice.
Sort of like Lindsey Horan said about US soccer fans, this really does apply to a lot of hockey parents.
For the 14 and under crowd on here, don't get so caught up in the skills training as there is far too much of that. Find Coaches who will teach your kid how to play the game and they will be successful not only in hockey, but in life.

People who are so fascinated and caught up in stats are almost 100% of the time the ones living vicariously through their kids because they NEVER accomplished anything in their athletic lifetime.

Yes, maybe MidAm could subsidize with their $5 million nest egg. Non-profits are NOT supposed to have those kinds of funds.
It's not cheap.

I was told it's based on next Wednesday's rankings. Top 6 for each age group at Tier 1.
Tier 2 takes up to 8.

So the much maligned PAHL has 8 teams with 4 of them in the top 50 whilst the much hyped AHF has 31 teams with 8 in the top 50?
Huh? I never made the connection.
Yet, many on here laud the idea of traveling to the Jersey swamps for "better competition"

That’s a problem and families pay the price.
The horror they must be suffering by everyone they know not knowing precious little Clayton's goals and assist totals.

RJ's been an AHF and THF Cheerleader since day one.
I'm sure his 4th place team will fit very nicely in the AHF.

If your "AAA" team is being outscored 164-2 in 15 games and you continue to tell people your kid plays AAA hockey.............. you might be a delusional hockey parent.

Just because your kid plays AA, doesn’t mean you have to talk crazy behind a screen
Wait, what? I'm talking crazy?
I simply pointed out some facts (people hate those) and then offered an opinion.

Thanks for the reminder. Here is an update. Things haven't really improved. 7 games in Pittsburgh all season long. At the 10U level!! What a waste of time and a great way to drive players and families away from the game. There are already enough barriers that limit the growth potential of the sport, self-imposed ones aren't needed.

Was thinking about this the other day and what the status was. The person I asked said they thought they had seen other construction either taking place currently or had recently been completed in that vicinity which was not at all related to another ice sheet.
Anyone have any updates?

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.
