What age group?

Perhaps the kid said or did something in the course of the game that pissed the ref off, so he called something that otherwise wouldn't have been called? I've seen it happen before.

Not even close.

Is Elitedaddy, like, a satire poster?

Seems to be few if any A teams in that tournament.

PIHL really could do a better job deciding how to move teams around.

Most AA and AAA does do that, and pretty openly. It's A Major and A Minor that have to play more of a guessing game year to year.

Jack ass parents absolutely can ruin it for the kids, though.

At least they can grab lunch at Dick's Diner.

What goes on there? I do know that some Europeans get on NCAA teams because their home countries pick up the tab, which is higher tuition than residents would pay.

This sounds like it has "Netflix documentary" all over it.

Nothing to do with them? Oh, besides using their name and their logo. That's enough for me.

Where did they all go?

Crazy how the parents called him a creep and a pedophile, and the inappropriateness was well-known. But yet, still had their kids playing there. Ah, the allure of an nhl team logo on your uniform.

Watching on tenband TV, which isn't as good as watching live so it's hard to pick up on some things, I find it hard to believe they put up 16 on them in the regular season. Maybe they saw a different goalie or something. Like I said in the midam post... I guess anything can happen when it's just one game.

I bet they're not.

I thought the same thing.

The bottom line is that hockey is the sport with the most variables during the course of a game. In any ONE game, between teams that are anywhere even close to skill, either team can win. Bouncing pucks, stunning goalie performances, how penalties are called or not called, kids being focused or not that particular day, momentum swings at opportune times (or not).... in one single game anything can happen. It happens all the time in hockey at every level. Ever wonder why professional gamblers mostly stick with basketball & football? Less variables.

I can't wait to hear more!

"Doing it the best possible way" would be to keep track not just points and shutouts, for reasons I already explained. It would include hits, blocks, shots, turnovers, and take aways, etc. Maybe then we'd see players challenging themselves to play the whole game of hockey rather than cherry picking and trying to go coast to coast every time they get the puck? The best possible way isn't keeping track of 3 or 4 statistics.

Here's another thing with stats... Besides favoring goals and shutout, who benefits? And assists aren't going to be accurate at all. I know kids that score a good amount of goals. Some of them do this by cherry picking constantly and giving up a lot of goals because of it. I know kids that have gotten shutouts because the team in front of them held the opponents to <15 shots in a game. So good for them. I also know kids who don't necessarily score all the time but play the game very well, consistently work hard creating opportunities for their team, don't take lazy penalties, excellent at killing penalties, excel at taking away the middle of the ice, etc. Kind of like the baseball player that never hits the homerun yet is almost always on first base and doesn't make errors in the field. Those kids really don't benefit at all from stats on some website, other than their friends or some parent saying, "oh well so-and-so really doesn't score a lot."

That's odd. Where? They like those admission fees.

Armstrong Predators Badgers North Pittsburgh Indiana Though I'm not convinced the refs of the Badgers games are actually biased, or just afraid of being assaulted by Badgers parents.

Imagine if you could see the actual scoresheets. It would substantiate the rinks where the visiting teams routinely and blatantly get homered.

Uh, YEP.
