Good points, but you have to also change those running PAHL - they are dinosaurs that have no interest in making changes for the better or making it more appealing to the players, especially those in-between AA and AAA. Other AA leagues around the country actually promote their league and players via social media, they track and post stats on EP and have All-Star games. Does PAHL do anything on social media? Do they have an IG account? These are the things that are important to the players of today. PAHL doesn’t even allow games to go into OT or a shootout during league play. As an organization PAHL is a joke, and they only have themselves to blame for the constant decline. Did anyone notice both U18 AA teams that played in the Mid-Ams final were independent and not affiliated with PAHL?

Hmm, now looking more like a Vengeance Part Deux.

What a great AA final last night with CP beating Fox Chapel in OT. Classy move by the CP coach in consoling the FC goalie at the end of the game. Great sportsmanship all around.

Pretty good analysis right there, and I would not be surprised if Mars wins the whole thing. Their depth is as good as any I have seen and presents match up problems for other teams running more than two lines.

No offense, but if you are this way being critical of coaches and decisions made on special teams, ice time, etc with your kid only being nine years old, I can only imagine how YOU will be in a couple of years. You are concerned over the coaches putting lesser skilled kids on defense? Hell most kids at that age are still figuring out how to pee let alone being set on a position. If the coaches kid getting all of the ice time is a ten year old, don’t worry about it as he will move up to PW next year. My advice? Don’t be “that dad.”

I believe it was a forfeit due to Montour using an illegal player during the game, so they were given the L. The Plum - North Hills playoff game looks interesting and would watch it but Black Bear Enterprises put a stop to their rinks using LiveBarn in place of their “exclusive, advanced camera technology” content stream.

Western PA ain't Minnesota, sport.

True that, and my guess is their coaches were not part of this "collaboration" along with others where kids should have been considered to be on this list. And if you look closely at the list you can easily determine which coaches were NOT consulted on this process. Then again, PA Hockey said God was involved in the decision making process and from what I have been told he sees everything, so there's that.

I am VERY curious as to whom were the ones that "collaborated" to come up with this list.

Another clown having to insert politics into a conversation where it doesn't belong. Are you one of those that calls anything "woke" if you don't like the result? Good god man, get a life.

@PAhockey is always at the forefront of pushing the envelope with genius takes like this - “Drinking alcohol and doing drugs do not belong in the game and will be punished if caught.” What would we do without him?

THE REF DID NOT TAKE A SWING AT A PLAYER. PERIOD. END OF STORY. He pushed him away with his forearm to create space between himself and the other player. Yikes, I was there and saw it with my own eyes. LiveBarn confirms it.

Look again - the ref did not throw a punch at the CV player. He was pushing him away as he got in-between the ref and the player he was escorting off the ice.

I was at the game - what a mess at the end of the game. QV was up 6-2 with about 2 minutes left in the game, QV cleared the puck from their zone and a CV player then crosschecked the QV goalie to the chest and a melee ensued. The kid from CV was kicked out of the game and taken off the ice. Another CV player had to be subdued by a ref and as he was being escorted off the ice, he broke away from the ref, joined the fracas and started throwing haymakers at QV players. Another CV player punched a ref at the very end when he was being taken off, and the game was called. A very bad look for CV and its organization. Suspensions should be heavy and justified.

Pegula ice rink at Penn State only happened because the man himself donated $88M to get it done but only if it guaranteed that the program would go D1. The south ( particularly schools in the SEC ) are growing money on trees and donors are lining up to build on-campus hockey facilities at some of the bigger schools such as Tennessee and Alabama. UNC is building a rink with donor and alumni contributions. https://unchockey.com/25-million-fundraising-campaign-announced-for-new-ice-hockey-arena/#:~:text=The new arena will be,leaders%2C and ice hockey enthusiasts.
