 The NA kids on that team played yesterday…..

100% not true

Allegheny might since Foxes best players are in the stands.

No, I have accurate information thanks.

In a move only a tyrant could make, Coach Trudea of North Allegheny has taken it upon himself to prevent players from his HS team from playing for their Amateur team. Last week in the sem-finals of a tournament, they were told they were not allowed as well as this weekend in the PAHL playoffs and one can only assume the same for next weekend in States. Hey Coach, some advice from Bob Watson might be of use to you.

Just who is this Sam Kelly fellow?

Midam and USAH

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.

but we know how hard it is to be thorough until they lose. 

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?

top four qualifiers

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.

You mean the rink that was open all through COVID

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.

the districts should mandate that to be eligible for playoffs, you must be associated with a recognized USAH Tier I or Tier II league.

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

Here is 14u AA Minor from a few years ago featuring a low participation birth year.  NP and SHAHA couldn't form teams and Predators went AAA.  Armstrong and Westmoreland were not pure birth year but were close.  Does it look competitive?

TEAM                             GP W L T PTS FPP TPTS GF GA PIM
FOXES 235                       20 13 2 5 31 17 48 93 57 178

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.

And here we go........making up bullshit to try to make a point.  You have just referenced Fauci saying "wear a mask forever" and referenced wearing "three masks".....he never said any of those things now did he?  Don't mix up opinions with facts.  The COVID variant has now appeared in over 80 countries, but by your logic Fauci made it up.  LOL.

And this being his "fifteen months of fame?"  Dude - he has served under six Presidents.  

Sorry folks, the derailment of a once interesting hockey topic is now officially off the tracks.  Thanks @dazedandconfused - nice effort.

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.
