I don’t think that it’s able to be sold since it’s a county property and part of the park.  The morgue drama was nothing new to the pandemic, it had been used as a morgue when flight 427 went down years ago and considering that even in January, you don’t need a coat in there, it would have been an ineffective one. 

I knew I always had an uneasy feeling there. 

Remove the politics from all of this, are we starting to reach a point of diminishing returns by closing down sports and recreation for so long be it physical and mental health along with developing healthier habits for life?

It’s not like the obesity or opioid or suicide  epidemics vanished.

Michigan is talking about something stupid like that. 1 ref, 10 skaters. 

3v3 cross ice. Brace yourselves WPA.

well, I am not that ignorant to know about secret handshakes/winks and having player names penciled in before tryouts. But heres the icing for the cake. This Tier 1 team in OH have their tryouts scheduled in mid July (as posted on their website), but then there's a player who already posted about being on the team today (June 29th). For the rest of of us who didn't receive the contracts, we should just stay home and save the $110?

Tryouts are a moderate to major money generator for many organizations. IMHO yes. Invest it in a 529 account. You’ll get a better ROI. 

For the life of me, I can’t comprehend why you’d want your kid out there getting clowned at a higher level than they belong. But the egos feed the beast. 

Anticipating all youth sports to be put to an end here shortly based on some memos from the state & PIAA.

Not sure what jurisdiction they have over rinks unless it’s for insurance?

They won’t make a decision like that as they know they would have rogue operations popping up before the email makes the delivered sound. They will let the states, governors be the bad guy.

 

 

Doubtful. USA Hockey is on track to shut it down. They’ll continue to take money for registrations and background checks though. 

USA Hockey is so risk adverse that I’d be shocked if there is hockey for 20-21.

That’ll be the end of that rink if it gets utilized. 

Bye bye baby bye bye, she wrote in a letter....and that was all she wrote. 

Altoona had no business AA.

And what's wrong with playing for Slippery Rock or Pitt or RMU or IUP or other top 30 ACHA Programs ? 

Last time I checked playing Division III does not include paying A LOT of money just to go to school including hockey 

Nothing at all. What is wrong is being so cutthroat about all of this. My point is in the end, what does it get you?

Funny. All this just to have your kid pay to play club hockey for Slippery Rock. 

Stop trying to lamely stir the pot.

Where most local teams are just getting started, the Armstrong Arrows 16u squad has reported no less than 10 (ten) games before the end of the first week of September.

At this rate, these kids are on pace to have 50 games in by Christmas and stand a real chance at hitting 80 by the end of the season, maybe 90 with a deep playoff run.  They're true Grinders, I tell ya! 

Class act beating a team 20-2.

Well that escalated quickly...

 

It may have but it’s a valid question. If this guy has no skin in the game, then why the aggressive interest and calling people morons?

No. My sons quit playing a few years ago. Neither played for the Arrows. Are you the moron? 

 

Then why are you so balls deep involved then?

Amazing how one small group of people that do not have the organizations best interest in mind can bring the whole thing crashing down. The rink is in serious jeopardy now. There are almost no kids at the 16U and 18U levels. I am not sure how healthy the lower levels are either. The moron from Johnstown is gone, but it looks like he managed to bury another rink, just like he buried Planet Ice in Johnstown. Both Mid-State Mustangs and Trackers have low numbers from what I understand. Wish I could put names on here. The idiots on the boards should be called out for their incompetence. I also do not think that the moron from Johnstown resigned, I heard he was fired. I heard some scary stories about things he was doing. 

Please share

They’re down to one full season team (12u)  and are scrambling to put together a couple teams to enter in a few tournaments.
