Might want to look at it before they shut it down also! Haha

Rewster, you can see the goalie leader and goals leader for a team by clicking on the game time in the schedule. Better than nothing I guess. I tried for 18UAA and 14UAA and got that info.

Rewster, great job! According to some on here Western Pa hockey is awful! The PAHL's lack of promotion does nothing to change that image. They need to use the tools they already have to promote the league particularly at the U18AA and U16AA levels. I have to believe that officers within the organizations in PAHL look at this website. Would sure be nice to get this on their meeting agenda. Open up the stats and recognize your top players PAHL. Quit sticking your head in the sand and trying to please everyone! If PAHL did more for 18U and 16U AA players maybe you wouldn't see so many Faux AAA teams! Just a thought!

They can look at the game sheets after the games now! Assists and shots are a whole different story. The scorer can only write down what the ref tells them and shots are never accurate. Being afraid of hurting Chad and Karens feelings is not a good reason to shut off the stats. Don't even get me started about participation trophies! PIHL has it turned on for everyone! All the way down to Middle School! No good reason why PAHL can't and won't.

So far this year you can see the gamesheet data! They just don't have the Player Stats and Team stats sections turned on. I'm sure it is as simple as turning on the access! I think they are afraid of hurting peoples feelings! Maybe it's an all or none type thing! Who knows but the dinosaurs need to wake up before they become extinct!

PAHL Meeting on January 16th would be a good time to bring the issue of Stats up. If enough Associations question them maybe we can find out why they choose not to let the public have access. Or maybe someone from the PAHL board who sees this message board could respond to why the PAHL chooses not to show individual and team stats.

I agree with you 100%! I blame it on the organizations. IF enough of them would complain maybe they could get the PAHL to turn on the Player Stats portion of the program. I know for a fact that ACHA programs look at the Stats in the PIHL when they are recruiting players. Ask your organization what their stance is on Stats. The info is there! PAHL just chooses not to let the public access it!

All that information is in there. They just choose not to display it! Not sure why the organizations within PAHL don't complain and force them to make them public. Especially for teams over 12U. Are they afraid that they will hurt feelings by listing the stats? Black Bear shows all the stats and even has players of the week. Why can't PAHL do the same? They need to get out of their own way! You can look at individual game stats but they won't let you look at Player stats or goalie stats! So bizarre! At least this year they posted rosters! First year for that! Maybe next year we will get to see player stats!

Hard to believe that was Puckcovid19! Not his typical conversation!

So is 8-4 Mars better than 12-0 Chartiers Valley? Anybody know why the PIHL loaded up A Gold? How many from each group will qualify for the playoffs? No crossover play so they really have no idea if any of the teams in Blue can compete with Gold! Makes for an interesting playoff scenario!

How did the first day go? Are the results posted anywhere?

Bummer! What's the major cause of all this? Did the requirements to get in go down? Do they accept anyone? What's it going to take to get them back on the right path? Has anyone heard any more about Slippery Rock trying to bring back their ACHA program?

Great job, Thanks! Neshannock is to low! They beat Deer Lakes and Carrick. Crazy loss to Central Valley. Split with Burrell. Canevin, Burrell, Neshannock, Carrick, Deer Lakes is I think closer. 4 out of 5 from Gold Division and probably 5 out of 6 as Central Valley would probably be 6th. Fun to talk about. Congratulations to players of the month!

We need a tournament to decide of course! Bragging rights to the Rink that fields the team. Might get more fans than a River Monsters game.

34 days to the first scheduled league games! Will it actually get off the ground? What are the odds? 50/50, 25/75. Will the con-man be the demise of the Pittsburgh team? Could it survive with someone else running the team? Maybe Danner should take it over and show us all how to run it! Will the league fold before the Pittsburgh team? So far it looks like 16 committed teams! Who is the Coach of the Pittsburgh team? Would the best Beer League team in SWPA beat the River Monsters? Can you tell I am bored this morning?

PA Hockey is probably in Jamestown NY for the Scholastic Showcase. Good luck to Western PA teams playing there this weekend.

Any body have an update on the rink maintenance issue? I see the Black Bear rinks are selling ice time over the Thanksgiving weekend!

Yeah, like Deer Lakes jumping Burrell after Burrell won head to head on Monday 7-4. Head Scratcher!

At the end of the day isn't that what all sports come down to!

I liked your rankings last week a whole lot better!

No thanks, your opinion really isn't that important to me. I just try to generate some discussion on an otherwise dull message board lately!

Do you think Hockey is Ruined in this area? I do think the only people who come on here are disgruntled about something related to their kids Hockey experiences! I'm trying not to "Pounce"! Neat word!

Wow, these kids went to tryouts and were placed on these teams. Sounds more like a PAHL issue to me! I sometimes think that jealousy is what motivates people to comment about the extra A's thrown out! Why else would it get so many comments on these sites?

No discussion?

Is the Hunt Armory going to be used this year?
