  1. How good is Adrian? Did you see the game? Adrian has a great D-3 team as well! Not bad for a school that has 1700 total undergrads!
  2. Maybe they should just all play for fun and not keep score! But then why even have PAHL? Just let all the kids play pickup at their home rinks! I just think if you are going to do something do it the best possible way. There will always be parents who complain about something. That's life! I admire the kids who play outside of PAHL and have their stats published!
  3. Thanks for the scoop! Seems there will be more info coming out! Don't trust what JK has to say! Sure would like to see someone honest take over this team!
  4. Interesting! Where do we find out more about this? What does APHL stand for?
  5. Wow, who does that? That's the kind of thing PAHL discipline rep should be looking at! The Dad should never be allowed near the clock again! Even if the Preds egged him on he needs to remain neutral! Again that's part of why you hear about the homers at Belmont all the time. Probably most peoples least favorite place to play! But they do have good U18 & U16AA teams! So that probably adds to the frustration when you get beat at Belmont.
  6. You have to go to the Standings tab to actually see the teams etc. I don't get to use it that often so I'm still figuring it out. Sure would be nice if PAHL used this. Would be easy! Wonder what it costs for a league?
  7. For those who might be interested in the MidAms starting today go the this website and put in MidAm. Will take you to Tier 1, 2 and girls stats. https://gamesheetinc.com/stats/
  8. Interesting! Varsity playoff guide on the front page of the PIHL site indicates that each team is responsible for a ticket taker and the proceeds have to go to PIHL. The Semis are totally run by PIHL so be prepared to pay the 10 dollars to get in!
  9. AWESOME! Truer words have never been spoken! Your whole text is right on the money! We need to keep this discussion alive and try to put pressure on the PAHL through the member organizations to change their dinosaur way of thinking. You would think that if enough members want stats and pressure them it will happen! PIHL uses the same platform, You can see stats all the way down to Middle school. Stats aren't hiding anyone from other organizations. They all know who the best players in PAHL AA are. If coaches want to poach them they already have all the info they need. Just a poor excuse from PAHL!
  10. Yeah I went to far with that one! Maybe charge a fee to have a stat changed. If a parent is crazy enough (I hope it's only a few) then they might be crazy enough to pay to have it reviewed. I just think stats with errors are better than no stats at all! Just my opinion.
  11. Why not get the AA teams in SWPA into the AHF and have a midwest division. Have a few weekends of crossover competition with the east. What do most AA teams in the PAHL cost? Seems to me they are in the 3800,00 range. Doesn't include Coach or team fees and uniforms. Does the PAHL charge for a team to play in their league?
  12. All that is true and no one person or system is perfect. But what the PAHL does now (absoulutely nothing) is a joke and anything would be an improvement. Parents will always find ways to complain. I hope that if the video clips were sent in the stats were changed. I do agree that parents get out of control. I would tell any parent that complains to get involved with the score sheet and stats at the games.
  13. Sure would be nice to see the score sheets and have the PAHL name an all tournament team!
  14. Wouldn't it be nice if the PAHL had a social media presence and actually did more to recognize the players in their league! You would have the best of both leagues here at home!
  15. I believe it is Black Bear. How much more could it cost compared to what we are paying now? Anybody know what membership in the AHF costs per year? Esmark and Icemen play in that league! I am surprised that Black Bear hasn't tried to force all the teams that play in their rinks in SWPA to join the AHF.
  16. The AHF distinguishes itself with a full-time professional staff, live scoring and extensive social media coverage making it the ultimate choice for those seeking the best. With parity showcases All-Stars and Championships the AHF offers a complete experience for our members. Taken from the AHF website! Wouldn't it be nice if the PAHL could do just some of this!
  17. Congratulations to all the teams that won their Divisions this weekend. Too bad all we get is scores! No game sheets to see how the games went! Or for that matter any coverage at all. Does PAHL have a facebook or Twitter site? It's ashamed how far behind Black Bear Tier 2 they are. Hopefully we will be able to find the MidAms on Score Sheet this weekend. If PAHL is not going to recognize their top AA players, I would suggest all those teams Join the Atlantic Hockey Federation and have their own Western PA Division.
  18. They had the same point total and split in the regular season. I think it went to the penalty minutes tie breaker! But I could be wrong!
  19. I wonder if the Union Hockey League is investigating this whole mess in Pittsburgh and looking for a new owner. Looks like the league itself is legit. Nothing wrong with another chance for folks to play the game they love. As long as no one gets scammed in the process! Who ever runs the facebook page for the River Monsters seems to be doing a good job.
  20. 1st I have heard of the "scouting book" does it also list the teams they played for last year? If so why do they waste time on tryouts if the Pens Elite are supposed to be the best of the best?
  21. Anybody know how their attendance for Basketball is? Maybe their promotions department needs to get out there and get Youth Hockey teams in the building like the Pens do. Junior Starters and intermission shootouts and minigames give the Pens ticket sales. I bet they could add 50 to 100 paid admissions per home game with a little promotion. I may be missing something but don't see much social media about their games or game days. Anybody know the number of total Hockey players in Western PA?
  22. Looks like the entire Pens Elite 2010 team was invited!
  23. Thanks guys! I looked this morning and couldn't find them!
  24. And while I am complaining about the MidAm why can't they post schedules for the District tournaments? Is it a secret? They do NOTHING to promote the sport. I know the schedules are out already! Just try to find them! At least PAHL has schedules up for playoffs!
