It’s wild at Allegheny. For a regular a/b team it is $2400 for the year and aa for the older kids it is $3,800 for the year??? 
 

Heard the aa older coach has been texting my buddies kid nonstop to come to the aa tryouts. Is that even allowed 

that coach is a total tool. he’s constantly texting kids

That’s only 4 games a weekend for 25 weeks, given scheduling at the same rink on the same days I’m sure this is completely feasible lol. 

So either 18u or 16u Badgers will basically be coached by a dad coach anyway even though they are trying to portray that it won’t

Saw Allegheny’s tryouts stuff. How do they have the same coach doing u16 and u18aa and do AHF 

that doesn’t seem possible. Plus heard a bunch of those kids are going to vengeance anyway. At least 16s 

Now mid October and that Vengeance team has 14 goals for and 100 goals against-solid 120 out of 120 teams. Criminal the organization took money for this

Yeah surprising Shane clifford didn’t make a statement or anything on their social media or sending out emails to clients saying anything. Friends on a 10u team at our organization heard about it in the lobby of the rink and had been told by their instructor at Shane clifford there was a family emergency and that’s why the cranberry instructor left. They don’t watch the news and couldn’t believe the company didn’t send anything out. 

09s won a consolation game in Chicago. #17 played #18 (out of 18 teams). So they beat the one that finished last. Prior to that, they lost all the other games so far. 

Thought someone in here said 09 vengeance folded? Or do you mean AA new vengeance?

They also have Euros coming……….stay tuned player depth may not be an issue coupled with their coaching staff

so are you saying the euros will get most of the playing time?

Wonder if they got some AAA players or if it is mostly AA as what was showing up to the open skates 

from what I heard it’s about half AA and one goalie AA and the other half AAA and the other goalie is from vengeance AAA

Supposedly vengeance 09 folding now-this may help some of the AA teams

Yep, that would be my kid that got cut because we would not get on board with NC/ Excel. Logistically not feasible for our family but hey, as we were told they never cut kids for not doing Excel. 🤷🏻‍♀️ and to sweeten the experience the rest of the team knew by 5:30 who had made it but we had to reach out to the coach at 9:45 pm to get an answer. What. A. Joke.

Wow. So sorry that happened to your family. That’s terrible. Best of luck moving forward 

rumor has it preds are trying to make a competitive 08/09 16uaa team with those that don't make BY

shaha 09 top 3 forwards leaving? another rumor-one to 08s, one to prds, one to barons 

supposedly less than half of the 2009 Allegheny team is going back there after winning both pahl banners?

Speaking of, how are the skates looking?

Heard the esmark skates have merged 2008 and 2009s together to make it look like more kids there. only about 12-20 kids total have shown up for each skate for u15 and u16 all combined. Doubt 2009s will be able to field a team unless some imported players come.  Allegheny will be 2008 and 2009 combined so no clue what that team will look like. Renegades seems to be keeping their team together for 2009 and had a good turnout. Heard vengeance skates were a bit of a mess

this is the age where YURI starts his used car salesman pitch and ropes these parents in for lessons camps his new advisor bs he does as well. Promises the world, then brings in handful of euro players and end of dec when rosters have be cut down. bye bye local players.........

apparently not a lot of kids showing up for those open skates for 09 esmark

No bantam major team, 2009, right?  They have a 2010.

No but supposedly they are going to have an “amazing” 2009 team next year and bringing international kids 🙄

I thought a kid got kicked off 09?

As far as Center Ice aka Palmer Imaging Arena, even though my son played AA there for multiple years roughly 2012-2020, we would very often routinely get "reverse homered" by the refs and pretty much always be on the short end of the stick in terms of power plays.  And our teams were skill based, not goon based AA teams like other teams in that timeframe.  

So I will disagree that during that timeframe at that level home teams had the advantage, because we were constantly on the short end at home there.

 

my son played birth year at Allegheny a few years and we definitely were reverse homered constantly-but lots of refs are from a rival organization 

Rumor is that it’s shut down for a month?

Looks inaccurate. Says Lebo beat Renegades 7-0 for 14uAA but it’s opposite. Hopefully they get it figured out 

Are they posting games and standings? Can’t seem to find 

Latrobe beat Franklin this week-Latrobe’s goalies are really good

No way 12 teams end up in 16u AA.  My guess is the following based on what I've heard of team makeup from other folks.

Allegheny, Lebo, NP, Steel City, Rebellion all get one team in.

Huskies, Indiana, Armstrong, Shaha, Preds...at least 2 of these teams will be on the outside looking in.

Maybe I'm way off base, it's just my opinion.  

How many Huskies teams are there? Just the ones on the PAHL list or are any playing independent?

So who are the front runners for each division?
