Can't really blame them. The goalie in question is statistically significantly better. The rule seems pretty black and white. If you billet and your parents didn't sign over guardianship, you have to sit out a year. You have to ask yourself if this kid was in the district prior to this year and part of the Montour placement process, would Montour still have dropped to single A?

I think it's actually PW Major. So the 2011 black team will need to either make the gold or go elsewhere.

I'm confused on what the issue is. Is it the timing of him transferring? Or is it the "intent" of the transfer. I know athletic intent requires you to sit out for a year before you can play for the school. Or was this an issue of the paperwork needing to be in by X date and it not making it by that date? Here's the billeted section of Athletic Intent ineligibility The student is a billeted player, unless a court-appointed guardianship is in place between the player and the hostfamily. This does not pertain to foreign students who have been approved by USA Hockey.

This is a very interesting rumour. Would this disqualify them from PIHL playoffs?

With 1 sheet at YMCA, how can they not be looking for more time.

Second sheet officially announced at Printscape

And they added a squirt major team

I live in the north and Southpoint is a breeze to get to now that the construction is done down 79 S where they did that 376 corridor.

I think it's been said here ad nauseum, including by myself. I think the location is the biggest issue here. If Esmark were to move to Printscape or RMU or anywhere else for that matter, they'd get alot more interest. My friend swears by the coaching and practice models (the opposite of what we've heard about other orgs). He just hates driving out there.

Yetis are posted A goalies only on 4/1 Squirt and PW - 4/3-6 Bantam - 4/24-27 Midget - 5/1-3

I see Aviators have posted 2023-2024 TRYOUT DAYS (TIMES TBD) 10U (2013/14) - April 12,13 12U (2011/12) - April 3,5,6 14U (2010) - April 1,2,4 14U (2009) - April 10,11 16U & 18U - April 15,16 2023-2024 TEAMS 10U (2013/14) 12U (2012) 12U (2011) 14U (2010) 14U (2010) 14U (2009) 16U 18U *We will be fielding teams a the AA and A levels for each age

I'll echo what others have said on here and what I've heard is that they don't develop the talent, that practices are very unorganized...whatever that means. I guess, in general, those that I've talked to are very unhappy with the practice structure.

So I see that North Pittsburgh has kicked of the tryout date crap show. Let's use this thread to post all known tryout dates for reference. I'm actually surprised I haven't seen others yet, given that NP posted this a few weeks ago. Co-Ed Travel 10U (2013-2014 Birth years) - April 10 to 14 12U (2011-2012 Birth years) - April 15 to 17, 19 & 20 14U (2009-2010 Birth years) - April 22 to 24, 26 & 27 16U (2007-2008 Birth years) - April 29 & 30, May 1, 3 & 4 18U (2005-2006 Birth years) - May 8, 10, & 13 Girls Travel All Girls Travel Tryouts will be held on April 29 & 30 **ALL DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE**

I just hope it's not another rebranding or something like that. Maybe a logo change. Or change in color scheme. Just to keep things "fresh" for the kids.

Yeah it sucks when one party gets offended at even the simplest of observations. Your candor on this board is appreciated and helps to lay out the landscape of hockey in the tri state area.

So I hear there's a big announcement at Frozen Pond next week.

Man...I feel sorry for you. They have therapists for this. This is my last response to you.

Lol....pretty butthurt for having no affiliation. So you're saying the Pond doesn't have brown water to drink? I believe 100+ kids would agree with me. It's not an insult when it's true. But keep believing there's not a thing wrong with that place. Or maybe ask the kids that had a ceiling tile fall on them during practice.

Well that's unfortunate then. You guys could use the help. Brown drinking water does nobody good.

I heard Frozen Pond is pretty much a done deal with BB. Rumor of course. Best thing that can happen to that place.

Wow, that's sad.

My buddy told me that Esmark is still not in the clear of this whole Viper/Husky fiasco. LGP13 above sounds like they are hitting the nail on the head. High probability Esmark is playing at some other rink next year. Assuming that is true, and perhaps they do move to Printscape....does that change the whole landscape of hockey in the south?

So 30 percent of the way through the season isn't enough?

This

The question is, do they actually follow through? I don't know, just asking the question. I do know that's been a problem at other organizations that publish similar documents.
