PBsooks = Wampa1 in disguise?

All catholic school students go to that school and pay tuition. Do the co-op students pay tuition at Burrell? Bush league comparison. Try again. So Catholic schools (which draw kids from all over not specific areas) are ok because kids pay tuition? Hardly a Bush league comparison. You can't be comfortable with one and not the other. I guess we should tell kids from small schools to find another sport to participate in or stick to club hockey. My original post says the rules are what they are, stop focusing one specific example and look at the bigger picture. Championships are for determining who the best team is at a given point in time, not to see who has the best program or who can develop the most players. You can choose to focus on the negative or you can simply look at the results and say congratulations to both teams for a great season.

The rules are what they are. Both teams represented PA well. How is a Catholic School any different (Central and Erie Prep) than a co-op? If a player is wearing another players jersey call it out immediatly. I can't beleive game administration would allow this at any level. Peter Puk told me the Lebo parents sent the invitations?

Good article bender thanks for posting it. There are only 2 AAA "organizations" in PA in my humble opinion. The local team and the team out east. All other "organizations" have some AAA teams but are not AAA "organizations". MAHA makes it easy, in order to classify as a AAA organization you must have a AAA team at each level. If PAHL put something like in place the AAA team concept goes down the drain and the rest of the kids are playing AA hockey. Not that AA is cheap but it doesn't compare to $10-$20k. Who knows this may also help to correctly allocate the talent pool in WPA as well. I'm not a fan of limiting opportunities, but nothing will change in PA until something comes from PAHL or USA Hockey.

That is the current rumor. Seems to make sense take the best 40 kids and let the talent come to the surface over the summer. Hard to pick a team with 4-5 sessions. I did hear from a PPE parent that everyone get the gold helmet this year. If you look at the older BY teams its hard to argue the results. Best game in town if you have the financial means.

Was it posted incorectly on your website? That is where the information came from.

I'm wondering if Boarding School is worth the cost? I love the approach to school and hockey but don't know anyone who has gone down that road. What type of opportunity does it provide later in life if any? The opportunity a post graduate year seems appealing as well considering most college freshman playing hockey are 20-21 from what I'm being told.

Is there a list of players invited by BY?

Anyone have the Mid Am invite lists?

TIER 1 AAA Hockey expect to spend over $10k/year no matter what team you play for. AA teams that travel pay over $5k/year. Hockey is expensive. Hard to argue the results of the Pens. I copied this from a post on another thread. The money may very well be worth it. Below is a summary of https://www.myhockeyrankings.com/ for the USA hockey mid-am district. The top 6 teams in each division are eligible to participate in mid-am district playdowns in March 2019 to determine the district representative to the Tier 1 USA hockey national tournament in April 2019. Presently, the U18 division appears wide-open with any of the teams listed could make a run over the next 3 months for the district banner. Pittsburgh Penguins Elite appear to have a tight grip on each division below midget major. 2018-19 USA Mid-Am District Midget 18U Tier 1 Rankings Team Record Rating 1 Culver Academies Prep 10-6-0 97.67 2 Pittsburgh Esmark Stars 18U AAA 28-9-1 96.83 3 Gilmour Academy Prep 21-9-2 96.83 4 Pittsburgh Penguins Elite 18U AAA 19-14-0 96.36 5 Ohio Blue Jackets 18U AAA 10-20-0 95.19 6 Cleveland Barons 18U AAA 11-18-0 94.69 7 Pittsburgh Predators 18U AAA 16-10-3 94.63 2018-19 USA Mid-Am District Midget 16U Tier 1 Rankings 1 Pittsburgh Penguins Elite 16U AAA 26-9-0 97.47 2 Pittsburgh Esmark Stars 16U AAA 19-14-2 94.01 3 Ohio Blue Jackets 16U AAA 12-19-1 93.92 4 Culver Academies 16U AAA 7-6-2 93.52 5 Cleveland Barons 16U AAA 7-23-0 92.72 6 Indianapolis Racers 16U AAA 13-14-3 92.26 7 Pittsburgh (PHA) Icemen 16U AAA 14-15-5 92.13 2018-19 USA Mid-Am District Midget 15U Tier 1 Rankings 1 Pittsburgh Penguins Elite 15U AAA 29-9-0 95.01 2 Sylvania North Stars 15U AAA 30-12-4 92.12 3 Indy Jr Fuel 15U AAA 17-11-3 91.98 4 Pittsburgh Predators 15U AAA 19-9-4 91.49 5 Pittsburgh Esmark Stars 15U AAA 19-12-2 91.12 6 Ohio Blue Jackets 15U AAA 9-20-1 90.89 7 Pittsburgh (PHA) Icemen 15U AAA 15-15-4 89.28 8 Cleveland Barons 15U AAA 8-22-1 88.67 2018-19 USA Mid-Am District Midget 14U Tier 1 Rankings 1 Pittsburgh Penguins Elite 04 AAA 21-16-2 98.27 2 Ohio Blue Jackets 04 AAA 18-7-7 96.13 3 Pittsburgh Penguins Elite (Black) 04 AAA 18-15-3 93.44 4 Indy Jr Fuel 04 AAA 5-16-4 93.01 5 Pittsburgh Vengeance 04 AAA 18-18-4 92.77 6 Cleveland Barons 04 AAA 10-21-3 92.12

First year Bantam not eligible?

USAH/PAHL rules are pretty clear on this. Suspensions must be served the next USAH sanctioned game. PAHL requires 9 players to start a game at this age. If they don't have 9 players the next game forefit rules would come into play. Want to teach them a lesson hand them a 1-0 loss. Splitting up the suspensions should not be an option.
