I would assume schools would report in general, teams like Peters are rumored to apparently be in quarantine now but you don't see that anywhere.  I don't know how the PIHL is going to make it work if teams have outbreaks and are shut down for 2 weeks.  I mean as it stands now, IF Peters is actually shut down, this will take them right up to the beginning of the season.

Let’s also report the number of herpes cases on the roster as well.

Nobody is watching 12 year olds, especially in western pa.

When I have my suspicions that Quinlan does but for other reasons. 

I watched some games from there this past weekend so idk if it was only select games or not?

Anyone hearing any rumblings of teams with positive cases of Covid but not reporting?  I've heard some rumors of different teams with current positive cases but are keeping the news in house as much as possible.  Hoping this isn't happening, but certainly wouldn't be surprised if it is.

What requirement would they have to share?

Thanks for the input guys! Would it be safe to say that we would be wasting our time and money in AAA for anybody but Pens Elite and possibly Esmark?  These Faux AAA teams aren't going to help you get exposed to College Coaches?  Is there any other way to get exposed to College Coaches?  Any idea how many kids out of Western Pa get College Hockey Scholarships? Someone should keep stats on that. I know football and wrestling in Western PA seem to do pretty good in advancing kids to D-1 & D-2 programs with some type of Scholarship.

Here’s the guaranteed way to leverage AAA hockey into a scholarship.

1.  Don’t play it and open up a 529 account.  Put the $10-20,000 into it each year. 
2.  Spend time studying.

3. Get a legit degree or trade and play club hockey as desired with the same kids who played AAA. 
4. Graduate relatively debt free having played college hockey and having a real job. 
 

If your kid is legit D1-D3 NCAA caliber, they’ll find him.

Wow!  So you are saying there are maybe only a handful of true AAA players in Western PA?  At all age groups?   Seems the Pens Elite and sometimes Esmark Stars are competing on a National level pretty often.

Yes I am.

Way too much over classifying from top to bottom. With the rarest exceptions, in reality, most every player in Western Pa is categorized a level above the actual skill of play. 

And then the lightbulbs go off and the realization that in the end, this is all a business. 

If we just keep kicking the can down the road I’m sure we will have a season by February or maybe March. 

#2 Fascinating detail from Judge Stickman's 9.14.20 Order, County of Butler, et al, v. Gov Wolf et al.: the members of Gov Wolf's "reopening team" and "policy team" - the two "teams" that came up with the COVID-19 Restrictions, including the Business Closure and Stay At Home Orders among others, are not only UNKNOWN, but during their countless meetings they took NO MINUTES. So there's no record of their deliberations. Who knows what they reviewed, whom they consulted with or what anyone said? No one! There's no record.

Again, the incongruity of this whole thing is what makes people upset and skeptical. 

Lmao. The same polls that say Biden is up by 15?

Because like all federal rulings it will be appealed and a stay will be issued. Current rules stay in effect until the Governor gives up or it gets to the Supreme Court. Neither of which will happen any time soon. 
 

Those who filed this had no expectation of a quick answer but are trying to set a constitutional precedent as to government powers. 

Untrue. The limits are no longer valid and will stay that way unless a stay is granted or the decision is overturned by the 3rd circuit court of appeals.

Not that I don’t believe you, until we see rinks such as Warrendale & Rmu allow full play it doesn’t really matter. Both of those rinks are The ones holding up PAHL and PIHL. 

Then they can just watch. Honestly. Let’s not hijack the whole god damn league.

Typical Mid-Am nonsense. Suspend him, but then turn around and have him as a presenter at their Coaching clinics.

I agree. They’re slimy. 

There was no science nor metric to work towards that would allow us to increase the limit. That’s the point. 25 was it. Period. There was no greener stage. New Normal. Deal with it. 

Lesson learned:  25 was never going to change. Hockey was never going to happen. 

Louder for those in the back:

"[T]he record shows that Defendants [Governor and Secretary] view the presence of disease mitigation restrictions upon the citizens of Pennsylvania as a ‘new normal’ and they have no actual plan to return to a state where all restrictions are lifted. It bears repeating; after six months, there is no plan to return to a situation where there are no restrictions imposed upon the people of the Commonwealth.”

The federal judge was clear about this on Wolf in his findings:

"[T]he record shows that Defendants [Governor and Secretary] view the presence of disease mitigation restrictions upon the citizens of Pennsylvania as a ‘new normal’ and they have no actual plan to return to a state where all restrictions are lifted. It bears repeating; after six months, there is no plan to return to a situation where there are no restrictions imposed upon the people of the Commonwealth.”

never met the guy personally.  Heard he is an arrogant prick.  Wouldnt surprise me if he sent it and didnt care who he offended.

Interacted with him once. He definitely has a passionate love affair with himself.

No one is irreplaceable.

This here except not an Indian meme.  Was a meme of a black kid crying and it said f$#k fathers day.  Stupid ass white holiday.   It was sent to a group text that included black parents.  

If true, one couldn’t be much dumber.
