I for one appreciate some of the more recent posts to this thread. I have multiple kids that have played from mites to midget. They have played in PAHL programs, minor B, AA and AAA at bantam and midget. I for one appreciate all the options there are for kids to play in Pittsburgh at whatever level they can compete at. I don’t see any of this as a money grab. I see the market responding to a need. I see parents supporting player’s passion to improve. I see coaches who enjoy teaching the game. All the AAA teams popping up in the area shows the popularity of hockey. Statements like money grab is a narrow view of the hockey landscape here in pittsburgh.
