They are fairly new at the younger age groups but a BIG part is no one wants to drive out into the middle of nowhere. That rink is not easy to get to. Would you want to drive an extra 30min++ to play AAA faux or not when Vengeance, SHAHA and Preds are all within 10-15min from the city. You could probably get to UPMC faster from the city.

They coach multiple teams most of the time because they are a parent or family member coach and are not allowed to be paid to coach family. With that they take on a team usually around the same age and have those teams travel together wherever they go so the coach is not spread out over weekends. The funny thing about that is that BOTH teams still have to pay a coaches fees for the coaches hotel and expenses so they make double money on their travel.

What does being right handed have to do with being taught?? A kid will shoot how they feel comfortable. If you have to FORCE them to shoot left handed then that's not being taught. Some kids feel comfortable with their dominant hand on top and some feel better with it down low. Also where do you get that tournament ice sells at a higher rate than LTP ice? Most places have a price for peak season and for off season. They don't charge by who is using the ice. Even still you have 2 teams in a game for a set price for an hour and a half slot (usually around $300-$400) and then you have LTP where they charge $15-$20 and hour with 30-50 on the ice and make$450- $1,000.

He thinks that he is agitating people by making stupid posts. He gets off on people commenting on what he says and thinks that he triggered someone.

It is their money, why do you care how they spend it? If they want to listen to what people have to say on here then cool if they don't want to listen then cool. Maybe they just like the organization or coach that they are playing for and don't give a shit about the rankings. ????

Only 3 players consistently on the team from the beginning.

For someone that claims to not have a dog in the fight or how to look up the PPE schedule from this season and last you sure pulled that 4-1 record out of your butt from over the last 5yrs???. You forgot how the Vengeance tied the PPE Black team in one of those seasons also. You must be an "Elite" parent and looking at their roster there are only about 6 kids remaining on the team that would have played in those games besides the one's that moved to the other side so it's would be pretty easy to guess which one you are???.

So you just naturally name call and call people alcoholics that don't agree with you and call out your contradictions. ✔️✔️✔️ No one was mad about you saying anything positive about the PPE, it was more of the exaggeration of their dominance in every aspect of the game and from what the others above said it was a 2-1 besides an empty net scored late. That doesn't scream dominance by any means.

You contradicted your original point which makes anything you say after that ?????. Sorry to burst your bubble my guy but no alcohol goes into this body and my little is doing just fine on his own without me helping but pay his fees. You sound very offended and upset, what's with all of the name calling?

Wasn't at the game, not wasting $45 to watch kids play that are not mine but nice try creeper. What legit points have you made? The few posts I've seen after yours seem to blow up your whole theory of the game and now you are back stepping saying that you didn't say something and that it was actually a good game and not 1 team dominating the other???.

No need to check 55 games if you only look at losses?. Also this year's rankings are not listed yet. You sound like a PPE parent trying to play dumb and stir the pot. What random person that has no kid playing at all and is not a scout just goes and buy a pass for $45 to watch kids play hockey. You sound about as creepy as that grandfather upset that he can't watch his grandkids practices on Livebarn.

You must not have looked hard enough at last year's schedule for the PPE, they lost to #48 Colorado Thunderbirds, #23 twice Oakland Grizzlies and #31 Valley Forge.

Half of their boards are literally cement with 00.00% give.

Yes

Looking up an old PPE roster, there are at least 3 kids on the SHAHA team that played PPE if not more over the years.

Doesn't this SHAHA team have kids that got cut and left Pens too? ???

Puck possession/keep away is more of a d*ck move/embarrassment than running up the score.

It's mostly because of the colleges that play/practice there.

All that money put into that rink and it's already having problems with stairs cracking and the roof leaking on top of many other small things.

I thought that they only dealt with rinks that had 2 or more sheets of ice? Even with the renovations is there not still a ton of work to be done there.

If you look at ALL of those posters of the guys on their walls not 1 of them claim the Pens Elite. They use the team they left for, the Hornets or their high school. Look at the most recent pick he used the US national team and the Sidney Crosby program but gave 0000 praise to the PPE even though they have had his picture blasted all over their website and building. The same thing with Voit, they blasted his picture all over their website and building. They did the same with the 07 kids that made the CCM 68's last year. 5 kids made it and 3 of them didn't play a game for them yet but they posted their pictures (in their Detroit uniforms) all over their website like they helped them get there.

All Mackinnon does is sit in his office or walk around with his chest puffed up bragging about knowing/hanging out with Crosby. It's worse with Chiasson since he weaseled his way into practicing with the Pens once in awhile. They develop so well that they have former players who didn't make it in juniors coaching and now even coaches kids are coaching along with their spouses getting hired to coach. They are so prestigious that they have coaches coaching multiple teams because they can't get enough coaches ontop of them doing their classes and private lessons. But hey they are a non profit organization FOR THE KIDS.

That is definitely true. They basically tell the local parents that if you want to be on the Brick team that you have to play for the PPE. They have used it as recruiting also, there have been kids from the out of town picks that end up on the PPE the following year. The Brick has taken 1 kid from the Vengeance. They have chosen kids from the Black team to multiple tryouts but again NOT the best one's. If they let unbiased people pick this team they would actually stand a chance but until then they will be 1 of the worst (the worst) teams statically every year in that tournament from players to goalies to overall record.

I have been waiting for someone to bring the Team PA Brick team up for a long time. They need to just disband the Team and let another state take their spot. Statistically the worst team collectively EVER with a win percentage of .189. The team always consists of mostly PPE kids and NOT even the best one's each year. Team PA is a bigger money grab than PPE. How can a parent be excited to travel over 2,100 miles knowing damn well you don't stand a chance. He my kid made the Team PA Brick team and then someone looks it up and sees how bad the team is. The team has won a total of 10 games in 9yrs competing. It can't be an honor when they constantly leave better kids off of the roster. I would bet my own money that someone outside of the PPE/Flyers organizations (who pick the team) could build a better team each year than the one picked. I am surprised that the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers professional organizations allow them to use their patches for how bad they are consistently.
