Just who is this Sam Kelly fellow?

I think one thing everyone can agree on is that neither of these two entities seem to do their jobs which is making things right for the players. The almighty $$$ is first and foremost with both of them.

That is one of the best lines, ever. Especially since we all know it's true.

Great thing about opinions, we're all allowed to have our own.

Actually, with the growth of hockey in Western PA and Columbus, they should have left it at 8. Take these factors into consideration. 1. With PE now starting the out of town/state/country influx at 13U - you now have some pretty good players looking for a home and it is usually Esmark, Barons or Vengeance/Preds. In that order. Plus you now have both TriState and Indy Fuel as part of the TPH family so there really is no reason to limit it to 6. Would 5-8 have a legitimate chance? No, but neither do teams with a 5 seed or higher in the NCAA basketball tournament. This covers 14/15/16U. 2. At 18U you add in both Gilmour and Culver so why not 8?

Its top 6 but you know........ whatever fits the narrative, right?

I'll let you know if the same fate befalls me.

The rules, the science....... the BS. Take a chance, Jack. Live life on your terms, it's way more fun.

And don't forget all of the superspreader events that were held there. Oh, wait. That didn't actually happen. Welcome to America, Jack. Enjoy your newfound freedoms. For now.

Friday and Saturday night public skating sessions.................

Specifically the 16U Viper "Stars" - who at the last minute pulled out of the PAHL because they were placed in A-Major Black. Per league by-laws they have to pay a substantial fine. They didn't necessarily disagree with their placement as it was what the results dictated but they want to be AA so now they can call themselves AA or Faux AA as we use on here even though they aren't. Their plan is to play in AA Tournaments and play an independent "AA" schedule against......... well we shall see, Someone requested some new chum in the water so let's let the feeding frenzy begin.

Times 20 players and then the gym membership which isn't optional.

THAT!! This simple solution would probably bring at least 90% in line.

That looks EXACTLY the way a division should look.

I'm sure once the new owners get in there, they'll have all their rink teams playing in their own league. Beware the Bear.

A couple? They'd be lined up to Firebirds.

They're on the prowl again. South of the tunnels? Beware the Bear, he's looking for your rink.

The alleged perpetrators were all from PPE or Esmark and there were more than 2.

The list of rinks which weren't strict is shorter. Alpha, Ice Castle and PIA. PIA is now under corporate ownership so that'll probably change. And then there were 2.

Highly educated (in his own mind) on the left coast in case it wasn't obvious enough. Probably Pepperdine or Loyola Marymount.

Fafa, I'm starting to look a lot like a modern day Nostradamus aren't I? And as far his 15 months of fame, yes has served under 6 Presidents and not one average person knew of him until he helped fund the creation of this virus. He is doing so much damage to the children in this country it's disgusting and the full impact won't even be realized for years if not decades.

It's all one entity really and all the $$$$ flows to the owner.

Yes, it would. And maybe you should have used those numbers instead. Hello? Pendant Publishing? Can we stop print and make a correction?

Blasphemy

Ummm...... not to rain on the charade, but those years make it a 51 year celebration. You see, remedial math would tell you to subtract the lesser number from the greater number in which case 50 would be correct. However, this is a numerical range which requires it to be inclusive of both ends of the range and is therefore 51 years.
