Going to be especially important this year as there seems to be tons of overlap.

So for 2010 PV - 4/15-17 Esmark - 4/15-17 Aviators - 4/17-19 NP - 4/13-17 Foxes - 4/15-17 Crazy...roll the dice this year.

I heard 18U A Major had a couple crazy finishes Something about Lebo pulling their goalie on what they thought was a penalty but was really an icing call that was negated and the Foxes scoring an empty netter to win it. Looking at the website, looks like the Foxes then went on to beat the 1 seed by a goal and then lost to the 2 seed in OT. I'm sure that was exciting if anybody has any more details.

Feel free to post tryout dates in this thread but there's a conversation I did want to get started. Perhaps I've never noticed it in the past but is there much more overlap/conflicts in tryout schedules this year? It's like the organizations are forcing kids to make a decision and stick with it and whatever happens...happens. There may be alot of good players without homes if they get cut from their incumbant team. Of course, I think we all know there's a way for some of these kids to find their way onto another comparable team, backup plans so to speak. But it just seems that this year is going to be do or die with all of the conflicts. Thoughts?

I think the Moon goalie proved this last night

One is not a trend but man, if the Blue picks off even one more Gold team in the play in games, that'll be interesting. I think Blackhawk has the best chance. If their goalie is hot, he's unbeatable. NC is very good though, I think that will be a good game.

Confirmed, 3 to 2.

Looks legit

Class A has been set. QV, Indiana, CV and Avonworth get the byes. If these rankings hold true ..Gold should be a clean sweep. With the WV teams out of the picture, Blue has some underwhelming teams in the playoffs based on records. I guess it's a shame Meadville didn't make it because of these dumb division structures.

41 charges on the indictment. Fantastic owner.

And I believe somebody said Avonworth tied NC in the preseason. In other words, who cares about preseason. Teams are playing JV kids to see if they can cut it in regular season.

They are in the division that apparently doesn't matter

Which is why loading up the one division was a dumb idea. If this is, in fact, the playoff scenario.

Any truth to the rumor that PPE is bringing back black teams up through Bantam?

I guess they should all quit and fold up shop then.

So CV beats the formerly undefeated Avonworth to stay undefeated and they still aren't in the top 5? Interesting.

16U AA seems like a clear top and bottom. SP....yikes.

Dunno Richland and Westmont. Erie and Meadville. The RMU teams together. Seems some assemblance of geography. But also some head scratchers like all the Baierl teams not being together.

Looks to me like Class A divisions are geographic as well. Maybe it's a little bit of both...competitiveness and geography.

I don't think you can gain much from scrimmages. Teams are looking at JV players to see if they could be added to the Varsity squad. Avonworth has a pretty solid squad, lots of sophmore talent and good upperclassmen leaders on that team, I doubt they are 8 goals worse than Shaler. But I do believe Shaler is the team to beat in A.

Way.....Too.....Early Do this in December. Then it'll get exciting.

It's a shame how they bamboozled familes on that team. What else is new though with that organization.

I think NC scrimmaged Avonworth at UMPC last night.

See some 16U scores rolling in...I assume group 1? Indiana 1 to 0 win over SCIR SP 3 to 1 win over Lebo Huskies 5 to 4 over Preds Interesting results Any other games?
