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.

What is happening at ALPHA ICE?
dazedandconfused replied to IceMom's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
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" -
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. https://myhockeyrankings.com/team_info.php?y=2023&t=32685

Lemieux getting a 3rd sheet
dazedandconfused replied to Denis Lemiuex's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
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? -
All hail King Murry. Exulted ruler of Zamunda.

These Krach rankings are Awesome!!! Very comparable to the College Football Playoff Committee

Top 5 PIHL Rankings
dazedandconfused replied to Pa Hockey's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
You mean like PR jumping SV despite the latter winning the head to head 5-0? That's a scratcher? -
Esmark jumps the Excel Academy. Which would only make sense since the Academy is 8-15 and wow!! I wonder if they got the license number of that SSM semi-trailer? 13-0
-
Good point. For some reason, I was under the impression that a team like that would be moved into the AA group to increase parity. But does this system only compare these 13 teams to each other? If so, what's the point?

So this is a screen shot of the AHF 10U Gretzky division and what one would assume are the Krach based rankings. So in this system you have a team Royals 10U A Gray with what looks to be an average team in the division at 13-10 with 118 GF and 104 against. This team in this standings system is ranked behind a team that's 3-15 with 44-132 for a minus 88 difference. And the worst part is that the 13-10 team beat the 3-15 team 8-3. And you have Palmyra at 8th place at 24-1 and +160 on the GF-GA and while they are obviously vying for 23-24 sandbaggers of the year, how are they below so many teams which they have beaten?

Off topic - but relevant - Skate blade death
dazedandconfused replied to Wes's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
That's a great way to describe it. I haven't watched it because I already flinch any time I see skates flying in any age group game. If you've watched enough Law and Order, a lot of perps like to be a part of the action like the arsonist who stays around to watch. -

WPA ACHA College Club Hockey
dazedandconfused replied to Danner27's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
Right, and that's fantastic. However, the skepticism here is still very high that any USHL teams was recruiting this player who would be coming in as 20 year. Very, very high. Same for NAHL. -
WPA ACHA College Club Hockey
dazedandconfused replied to Danner27's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
So......... we are to believe that teams from the USHL, which markets itself to the younger players based simply on requiring X number of 1st year players on rosters with a minimum number of GP for those players and......... limits the number of 20 year olds, these teams wanted to bring in a player who was already playing at a low level ACHA school? And I'm not saying it's low level I'm just using yours and Danner's knowledge. -

WPA ACHA College Club Hockey
dazedandconfused replied to Danner27's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
The funny thing is......... that's a Coaches poll. And yet Danner, who has never coached, probably never played and may not have even strapped on a pair of skates in his lifetime. He knows more than them. That truly is amazing stuff. -
Maybe they'll get paid by the Holidays and then be told how lucky they are to have been paid 5 days earlier than their independent contractor agreement requires. Same as it ever was.

WPA ACHA College Club Hockey
dazedandconfused replied to Danner27's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
The question is, why do you care so much about college hockey? You belittle every league, age group and organization from college to mites. Especially any local hockey. It's time to let go as all 4 of your ships have sailed.
