Wow! I had no idea that it was that big! 
So, would you say (if you were to put the teams in competitive classification order; or from top to bottom: Varsity>Junior Varsity>Junior Gold A>Junior Gold B?

-or-

1.) Varsity

2.) Junior Varsity 

3.) Junior Gold ‘A’

4.) Junior Gold ‘B’

Just to be clear with what I am learning…You’re saying that if we took the best AAA High School team in Western Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh) PIHL; they would obviously get their doors blown off by atop end Varsity squad (i.e. Edina Varsity) without any doubt…then they would most likely lose by 2-3+ goals to their ‘traditional’ Junior Varsity team…and only maybe then, they would have a competitive game against the high school’s “Team #3,” or the Junior Gold ‘A’ squad. Which aligns with how things squared up this past weekend—Edina defeated PT in the semifinals in OT 4-3…and also defeated NA 2-1 in double OT.

So, in other words…the Penguins Cup Champion in AAA (or even AA) would be relegated to the equivalent of sub-JV competition if everybody were suddenly reshuffled. That’s saying quite a lot and is very humbling to put it into perspective.

Your assumptions are ok but not very accurate. The Edina team is very good Varsity Team with 16 Seniors and not JV, its a 2nd Varsity Team of one of the most storied legitimate HS programs in  the United States. Also the number of kids at their tryouts is between 125 - 150 Annually. This info is first hand from my conversations from their coaches

Hi PA Hockey—Would you know of, or possibly provide a link so we could be immediately directed to this High School Hockey Tournament?

I know that I’ve been seeing more and more tournaments in South Bend over the past few years.  From what I’ve seen, their facility looks really awesome. I’ve heard comparisons between ND and PSUs Pegula Ice Arena are pretty close.
It looks like a great place to play and just curious if you had a link. I did a very quick Google search/scan and only found previous year’s results.

Compton is a first class facility and you can compare all you want to just about any college facility in the country. People have come from IND, ILL, CAL, MINN, MICH, OHIO, MD EPA and WPA and all seem to treasure the experience of Notre Dame the campus facility and town. The Hoosier Cup will be move to January hopefully and fill up for years to come.  Semis and Final were awesome yesterday all decided by one goal and/or OT.

We are going to start taking nominations for 50 years of players + coaches + teams + officials for the Pennsylvania High School Hockey Hall of Fame in 2024

Thank you for all great thoughts and recognition of high school hockey legends ............your input is greatly appreciated and you are welcome to nominate candidates as a part of the Pennsylvania High School Hockey Hall of Fame General Assembly beginning in 2024......details to follow.

Edina has 4 team Varsity + Junior Varsity teams and Junior V Gold and Junior Gold B.   Junior V Gold comes to Notre Dame for Hoosier Cup. My source is coach of   Junior V Gold who is in his 70's and has been around for years with program

Those Minnesota HS teams are picking from hundreds of players. You couldn't have that same model here. There just aren't enough players at each school for HS hockey to be a high level here.

Edina HS had 165 kids try out from a great source a few years ago

LaSalle is clearly the favorite of the Flyers Cup and AAA in the State.

WC East lost a lot of firepower and I expect both Hershey schools to give them a run for their money in Class A, The Western Pa Penguins Cup champ will be battle tested and give the West a very good chance in States for the first time in many years. 

SF and TJ are very good teams and favorites in Class AA
