  1. NC tuition is around $17K a year and Excel is roughly $7K, although I would challenge anyone to find pricing on Excel without having to be in the last stage of sign-up before hitting the "Pay Now" prompt on the Excel / Pens website..
  2. Sure you do Biff. Sure you do.
  3. Uh, not necessarily. There are many players that play club that do not play HS hockey. Sorry to disappoint you, but that is a fact. Your love for HS hockey and your distaste for club hockey is well noted, so I am not surprised by your predictable comment.
  4. NP has 11 skaters and 2 goalies rostered for U18AA. However, saying high school hockey is higher level than club PAHL is laughable. A good AA PAHL team would destroy most PIHL teams simply because of depth. The disparity of talent from the 1/2 lines to 3/4 lines on a club team is far less than HS teams. Why do you think many HS coaches only roll 2 or three lines in a competitive game?
  5. Anyone watching the U18 Worlds Championships? The US looks solid and local LJ Mooney has seven points in three games. The games are being held in Frisco, TX? Give me a break - games are in front of very sparse crowds - kinda embarrassing if you ask me. Nothing but empty seats.
  6. Evidently NP has a total of 16 skaters registered for 18U tryouts. Seems more and more U18’s are playing school hockey only and not two teams.
  7. If you think kids don’t want to see their stats you are dead wrong and somewhat naive. Why do you think EP is such a popular site for players? All everyone does on this thread is bash PAHL for sitting on their asses and do nothing to promote the league or its players. Other organizations track stats via EP for AA teams, have All-Star games and those organizations are thriving. Why? Because we live in a social media age where 90% of the time kids are on their phones are checking SM, not making phone calls. Hell, even PIHL tracks player stats and has All Star games along with FB and IG pages. Who really cares if an anabolic parent is questioning the stats? Organizations that publish stats set the tone at the very beginning of the season with the parents - paraphrasing here but "stats are not always 100% but it is better to live with its minor faults than have nothing"…..i.e. PAHL. PAHL has been doing the same shit for decades now, yet nobody within the organization seems to care about the decline in talent or headcount. Same shit, different day.
  8. Don't hold your breath. The dinosaurs at PAHL still use fax machines.
  9. I don’t know what NC’s tuition is, although like most area Catholic High Schools it’s probably around $15K a year.
  10. My guess is those D2 coaches were not “consulted” and not part of Mr. Hockey’s process.
  11. Aww how cute - you admitted in a prior post and I quote “Lots of tough choices both in Eastern and Western Pa - Thanks to all who collaborated.” Key word here is “collaborated.” It is obvious those that “collaborated” with you had players on the list. It doesn’t take a genius to see whom or what schools you DID NOT collaborate with. So yes, it is a bit of a joke. Carry on.
  12. I appreciate the work you put into this list, but it is a joke. This is the same list you posted prior and you are clearly including players from teams where you consulted with coaches you know or are connected with. The omission of certain schools with zero representation yet that had players with stellar seasons speaks for itself.
  13. All-in with Excel and NC tuition would probably be between $35-40K a year. I don't think U18 players that are 18 years old have to attend NC, but I may be wrong.
  14. Absolutely - proud hockey mom and dad post their kids Mid-Am selection on their personal SM page - IG, FB, etc. The comments are a riot and the best part. The path to the NHL has now officially begun.
