The way you write, you sound like you're in the Penn Hills school district.

Same thing- done for the season. Easy answer.

Sorry your kid didn't make the irrelevant All Star game. He won't miss much.

Suspending 4 kids for the season would ruin the program? Exaggerate much?

4 to 7 games really doesn't sound like a very big, groundbreaking message for breaking an underage drinking law at a school event. Curious if any were planning to drive after? Or did? Maybe it's just me? But done for the season would seem like an even clearer message.

Sorry, already drafted to KHL in the 1st round. 3 seasons ago. They know what they got.

What part? Sounds pretty clear. What's being left out?

Why, because you're asking a coach to stick around for 20 minutes after the game? Get a grip. If the coach is too much of a primadonna to do it (I don't know why they would be, they are coaching pihl hockey, not the NHL), then have a board member or parent with clearances as a locker room monitor. It's not some radical idea. If you want to invite problems, then don't have one. I don't know what to tell you. And I'd also add that the supply of competent coaches in the area already kinda looks like that.

It's not ALL the coach's fault, obviously. But they are the adults in charge of the minors on the team. They share in the responsibility. If you want to open your team up to problems like that, hazing, fights, etc., by all means don't have an adult present. Just trust the mental midgets on their own to be angels. Any any board that wants to avoid problems, would see that an adult coach or another adult with clearances acting as a monitor would be present until the last kid is out of the room. It's common sense.

Locker room issues are really easy to avoid when a coach is present.

I'm hearing they got 6 or 7 games. Not sure if that's legit.

They can drag it out pretty long if they want. I'm guessing an abuse of official charge, it'll be drug out as long as possible.

100%. I also think people need to remember also that in most cases there are 2 refs and 12 players in the ice. Anything more than 2 players involved becomes a problem when there's only two officials to break it up and not have anybody get injured.

Right, because police are 100% beyond reproach. All are saints. Just like referees.

Not saying you're wrong about the game... but this is a hockey forum. Why the obsession to keep bringing up the police?

No idea, but what other benefit would there be to not have sound on?

I'm assuming so that if there's a complaint of harassment or language by players or spectators, you can't go to livebarn for evidence. I can't imagine any other reason to do that.

If you're lucky, you can get some game used diapers after the game. They'll be worth a lot when they go pro.

This has just created a market for Quadruple A...

I'm pretty sure his tournaments are more determined by MHR than what letters the teams call themselves. He even will watch some livebarn to see where to place teams when there's any question. Good tournaments.

Let's be real. Virtually everybody is going no further than ACHA or club. I don't care how many skill lessons you have. It boils down to having multiple choices for a play, picking the right one in milliseconds, and doing this over and over and over consistently. The stickhandling helps but if you can't process the game at the speed as it gets faster and faster you aren't getting anywhere. And I don't know that that can be taught. If you can think the game that fast, by all means lots of skills lessons will be a good thing. But genes and a mind for hockey come first. So do the skill lessons, but don't think it's make-or-break to do more than one a week. And maybe once a month is fine, just to break bad habits that can be picked up at practice when no one is paying attention. If you're a regular kid, as 99.99% percent are when it comes to moving up the hockey ladder, do whatever is most fun and enjoyable and what can be afforded. And if you do at least 2:1 ratio of skating lessons to stick work, you'll be way far ahead of most. I'll take the better skaters any day, skating is the number 1 thing.

It's a good way to learn how to stickhandle and shoot the puck (usually at an empty net or shooter tutor). Also great to learn how to skate and stick handle through cones. Good for endurance. Good for looking great at tryouts and not as great in a game. I will say I think skating lessons are worth 10x what general skills lessons are worth. And be wary of coaches who give paid skills lessons to their own players.

It looks like if they would've just scrapped one of the A's, they'd be having a somewhat competitive season. 🤷‍♂️

Pretty sure a ton of teams have no JV teams.

I thought they were doing A Gold and A Blue, a top half and bottom half for the A division. At least that's what I thought the Gold and Blue designations meant.
