They should take the consistently good teams from A and move them up - QV, Mars, NC, Moon, Avonworth, CV or a variation thereof. For the most part, it is the same teams every year that make the playoffs while the same teams are the doormat of both divisions in A. By moving these schools up will only put more competition in the AA level while making the A level on more equal footing.

Anyone know the reason behind Wheeling Catholic having four forfeits so far this season? Are they not fielding a team at the A level this year?

You are aware that players at that age progress with their skating and puck handling, regardless of how many goals his / her team scores or lets in. It is their first years without a buzzer for line changes, so they learn that as well. You stating your coaching resume here I would think you would know that already. Hell, have the kids play up in local / away tournaments if they are so damn good? For a so-called "Happy Hockey Fan" you don't appear to be very happy. Smile.

The answer to your first question is this - SHIT HAPPENS. The kid is 9-10 years old. Is he / she having fun, or are you too busy yelling at everyone because of the poor placement and not really paying attention? Seems you have the qualifications to be on a hockey board or better yet, run for Hockey Director role at your kids org. As for not knowing what I am talking about, well, that depends. Raising four kids from LTP to HS level and one playing D1 club, I can speak from experience and say I have a good sense of youth hockey. All I can remember from those Squirt days was my kids had fun, they looked forward to the post-game snack and got better with time. Hell, at that age they are still learning how to pee straight. As for misery, you are bringing it on to yourself bro. You seem quite angry and being this wound up at the Squirt age, I can only imagine how you will be when your kid is at the age level with checking.

All I did was ask a question, bro. No need to get all lathered up about it. Although I do see the entertainment value in watching hockey dad going fully anabolic on 9-10 year old hockey as if their star player is placed on the wrong team which would result in him "not developing as a hockey player"

Are we really still talking about 9-10 year old Squirt level here?

Any school with two MS teams, two JV teams and a Varsity team tend to have more depth than other schools. On top of that layer in two “elementary school” teams and you have a hockey factory.

If what was said here is true where coaches had all players dress and before taking the ice, the coaches informing the healthy scratches and then having to return to the locker room and get dressed ) that this is nothing more than a bush power move by the coaches. Other than humiliating the players, what’s the point?

Responding with "who cares" on whether the books are cooked speaks volumes about you, bro. Folks - draw any conclusion that you will based on that comment. And please don't feel the need to restate your resume' yet again - you have listed it here a hundred times. "Nobody cares."

True that some Catholic schools may "recruit" but this is not football or basketball. Kids being recruited for those sports may get support to offset the $15-18K a year for tuition, but that is not happening for hockey.

Your last comment is 100% spot on. Teams such as QV, Mars, NC and Shaler have been consistently good at the A level and are more than capable of competing at the AA level. Yes, there are far too many teams in A and there is a huge disparity between the good and bad teams.

“The aggressor, according to the video, is not my client,” DiLucente said. How in the hell is a woman who leaves the stands and approaches the ref and gets in his face NOT the aggressor? Scumbag lawyer for sure.

Mom and Dad of the year right there - imagine what these clowns are like during an actual real game? lol The kid now has to endure the embarrassment. Dad was chirping the entire game and approached the ref at the end. LiveBarn tells no lies.

Both parents went full anabolic on the ref after the game.........a summer league 3/3 game. Anyone have footage of the incident or when the game was played? LiveBarn tells no lies.

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..
