I only see 2 PHIL games for next week on BlackBear TV. I think they are just getting them in. Also Rebellion games this weekend. I'm asking how can we get the logos updated.

Talked with the rink manager at Printscape and they should have PAHL and PIHL games loaded. You need the premium sub to download the clips. Unfortunately no other streaming is allowed so gone are the days where we would record on ipad and upload to HUDL. Not sure how much enforcement will be done by the rink. Will have to get a subscription to BBTV at some point. It seems crazy that the camera isn't always on. I would go onto LiveBarn to watch practices, see things got updated in the rink, or if the skate shop was open. That's all gone too.

Looks like Frozen Pond is still Livebarn... i think it's only BlackBear owned rinks. For example, cfsBank Event Center (Mon Valley) is VOD only. Seems like it's 4 in Western PA. Do a search on "VOD only" and 77 rinks are listed.

I guess the cutover has happened. Black Bear rinks in the area are showing as VOD Only on LiveBarn. Anyone have the BBTV yet to comment on how it compares? Interested in getting it if it's a dramatic improvement.

1-3 goalies at multiple levels. We need a goalie for our B-level team. The other two teams have one goalie so we could take another... the other two teams play at A Major Black and A Minor.

South Pittsburgh Rebellion is still looking for a 14u goalie for our 3 mixed year teams. Can set up supplemental tryout by appointment. Send all inquiries to orginfo@southpittsburghhockey.org or PM me., More Info at: www.southpittsburghhockey.org.

Yes, sorry I just saw this. We have already posted our roster for the team. If you are still looking send an inquiry to orginfo@ with your hockey history. Thanks,

South Pittsburgh Rebellion is currently looking for some 14u Bantam goalies (2010 or 2011 Birth years) for our mixed birth year teams. Our 14u General tryouts start today and finish tomorrow. If you can make it today, you can come in on the Day 2. Just email us at orginfo@southpittsburghhockey.org. Thanks!

We don't have that problem where I'm at. We have a very healthy board with mostly general consensus.

Yes, both sheets on FB

Ice should be laid down on Labor Day on schedule, We have practices scheduled in rink 2 starting 9/4.

Rostraver/CFS Bank Center should be getting ice on Labor Day as well as the second sheet at Printscape Arena. Right now we are on schedule and have rink 2 practices scheduled in Sept. Our first one is on September 6th.

Some of these posts are quite amusing. From a view on the inside, here was no internal sabotage. The person in question has two other kids in the organization and is a head coach of his youngest son's 2010 team. He was also part of the group that did the rebrand/rename from Rink Rats while I was doing designs. I think he just asked his oldest kid which team he wanted to play on and it ended up it was the one his friends were still at. Every other family that declined made their own separate decision.

Well at every tryout, we had well behaved parents that didn't interfere with the evaluators. So thank you for that. Some board members did want to close off tryouts completely, but they were open last year. We just made the area smaller to 1/3 of the bleacher this year so evaluators could sit in the middle and watch both ends of the ice equallly. We had about 5-6 evaluators that were board members (not on the team) + coaches (not on the team) + there was one outside coach. We just ranked them according to ability and skill. So the roster was the best players from the tryout essentially. Sorry I wasn't in the room for the decision process. I see that there is someone who disagrees with that above. I've also heard complaints that there was too much turnover from last years team. Everyone has their own opinion. It's hard to know what exactly goes behind the scenes with every family. You'd think at this age level, the kid probably knows more of what they want to do... and the parent just listens to their kid. Yeah they just want the best for their kid.

We had open tryouts. From the bleachers, we had 1/3 open for parents to watch then you could watch from Bubbas at Printscape. From our perspective, the number of declines brought this team down. It was a pretty awesome lineup from a very competitive tryout. We had 11 declines and exhausted the alternate list. It was just a cascade of events and panic from families that didn't want to be left on a shell of a team. Our process was coach calling the roster and getting verbal approvals then posting the roster list (pinnie numbers) then they have 48 hours to decline to receive back their commitment fee. The 48 hr timeframe now seems too long + I like what North Pittsburgh is doing by cashing the commitments on making the roster. Some joker sent their decline email one minute after the deadline. We decided to just let it go. Sad lol.
