Black Bear Team. https://youngstownphantoms.com/sports/2022/8/17/ownership.aspx

Lol, that team still wasn't the worst in the country that year somehow. That 05 team averaged .745 goals per game and 8.3 against. The 09 Vengeance may have a chance at breaking that record with .5 goals per game and 11.3 against.

I am surprised that Black Bear doesn't charge you to get into games, pay to park or to fill up your water bottle. Maybe next year!

Shattuck has 0 teams playing in the USHL tournament and BK has 1. Didn't 1 of those "powerhouses" BARELY beat (2-0 with an empty net goal) 1 of those THF teams that are slower and not as fluid as a team last year in the Midam Championship. If you think all these parents are delusional then why tell them to go watch games that their kids most likely don't have a chance of playing in. You really are Dazed and Confused.

If your team can't go HALF the season with a 2 & 10 then you should get rid of your coach because he isn't doing his job. Stop blaming the refs for sh*tty hockey being played. The reason PIHL is not good and a lot of AAA teams don't want their kids playing it is because of the garbage hockey from the PAHL teams players that don't know how to play right. You should have a hearing after 2 or 3 2&10's not 5. Stop blaming the refs because your organization/coach/kid and even parents have a reputation for being dirty. There is a reason for that. I've seen multiple AAA teams play 60+ games in a season and not come close to 10 2&10's (none over 5) and you guys are mad at 10 over 20 games. 🤦‍♂️

This happens at a lot of organizations at all levels. If your kid is good or they really want you they will roll out the red carpet. I know kids personally that didn't tryout for a team and paid $00.00 in team fees all because they were the best players on said team. Only expense was jerseys and bags as they came from a private company.

Gene 1 (09) and Gene 2(08)?

More than ever, some teams are doing 2,3 and even 4 times a year now.

Money grab, those birth years don't even get looked at for another 2-3yrs.

Serious question, what is going on with all of these 09 teams folding or not having enough kids? It's not a deep birth year as it is but reading everything on here it's anywhere from 2-4 full teams folding. There is no way that many parents are okay with their superstars playing on a mixed team.

Don't forget the Tea bagging incident in the early 2000's. That kid got PAID, blew it on drugs but paid none the less. Just happened to have happen to a local funeral home owners kid.

They are the 6th ranked Catholic School in the area. Add those public schools and it drops them even lower. Hey at least it's not in Troy Hill anymore.

Didn't they kick out all of the Boys Black feeder teams to build their girls program up? Would you be happy paying all that money to play half your schedule against A/AA teams. That's not very "Elite".
