How can anyone see rinks opening up for tryouts with hundreds of kids on the ice or overflowing Lockerooms.  Maybe it will be a season of only high school teams? It’s a weird thought. 

Surprised you got a refund. Good for you and good for the team refunding you.  My son’s teammate signed up for spring team with National Elite and now he is probably going to get stuck with a $700 “credit” for virtual lessons on stick handling and plyometrics at $30 a pop. Talk about a rip off.  
 

It is a good thing we decided to take the summer off before this or we’d be out $$$ for NE too. 
 

This entire season next yeah will probably be cancelled. I can’t imagine rinks opening up and when they do, I can’t see them selling ice to these outside guys trying to run their own trainings.

It is a tough decision.  I know my daughter's PAHL team is probably misplaced.  We were on the bubble and it could have gone eiehter way.  We would have been the top of a lower  level or the bottom of a tougher.  we got put in the tougher level.  our record isn't the greatest but the games are faster and I think she is getting better.  I'd rather a coach try to push a team then play down just to get more w's

 

Honestly, you have it wrong.  The fact that some of the teams are dominating is due to the fact that they have one or two players who do belong in a particular division.  They belong in AAA or AA but are playing A Major black.  The damage is done by the stars of a particular team.

Another banner 0-5 weekend for the Preds! 

And now it appears that rumors are surfacing that there are some players moving up to the U16 team and the U15 team is trying to bring in other kids from PAHL teams and high schools to backfill.  Any truth to this?

0-5 isn't good but what were scores.  If games were close thats not bad.  Who is coaching this team?  Is it parent?

 Why would they allow more kids to join and not let the players left get more ice time?  I'm sure that is going to ruffle some feathers.

I took my son and daughters to Loya and TK and both were good.  small group lessons are always better.

that was a fluke. My sons team played at ice castle this weekend and watched the preds get pounded by Carolina. Wasn’t even competitive. Someone in the stands said they gave up 2 short handed goals on one PP the game before !
 

 

 

think whome87 needs to come back here and apologize to the entire Preds U15 team.  His

They also beat Esmark 4-1

OP was pretty scathing to say the least.  

Guess the press u15AAA has fallen off.  Think they loss to a AA team?  Esmark and Icemen don't look much better.  Weak overall.  Maybe prior posts about money grabs were right.

heard the foxes u16 team is decent this year

I heard it was about a father of an 03 player

I heard Preds AAA is $3800

$1000 Slush Fund

$1000 to Coach

$300 for Paramedics 

$300 for Gym

$900 for Uniforms Helmet and Gloves.

 

 

Isn’t it on the predators website? What’s the point of you being upset about the cost? If you didn’t want your kid to play, don’t complain an bout the price ?

Can you list the other fees for every team in western pa?

I’m sure the Foxes Pw7 team is the best price for your budget. 

Any word on Foxes tryouts? I heard the program recruited 03s this year?

its a known fact Lebo parents work the clock to their advantage all game to benefit their team.  its been happening all season 

I was there and saw how the Lebo parent running the clock failed to start the time at the end and gave Lebo extra time to score tying goal.  Was blatant error the refs did't address.  I guess that is what home ice if for!
