What’s the point ? USA hockey is not going to listen to a few hundred parents, heck probably saves them money by canceling nationals this year.

Sour grapes sounds to me. Someone won the Pahl championship & got the banner. someone also won the extended Pahl playoffs and got a invite to nationals. Pretty simple.

Again, glorified Pahl playoffs.

What’s this going to achieve ? Hate to say it nothing!

It was the same thing as Pahl playoffs just with the icemen added in.

PPE and ESMARK are close on fee’s, the travel pushes esmark to the top locally for cost.

My post is factual! That team never had a full roster!! They have two kids from Lawrence county who float in and out, they added my friends kids for half price who moved to Pitt for excel / nc in September. They posted on this website they were looking for kids to “round out” their teams. One of their d left for the monarchs in September. Per usual, we get to the bottom of things, you are involved with the program trying to do pr. As @The King says, follow the money and you will figure things out!

In your answer below, now you say the 16a did ? Which is it ? The icemen post looking for kids for teams was linked a few posts back.

Two kids that play off and on are from Lawrence county.

I know a lot of people, been around for a long time.

13 skaters period. Others are added for games / tournaments. Right from the dads mouth!

Now they get called out for who they are and............. crickets................

Funny hockey1 gets called out for who they are, now crickets.

Look I know two kids on the 16u iceman, one is from excel. They have 13 skaters and constantly were bringing different kids in to play tournaments.

What you are missing - programs like the icemen never have a full team to begin with. Just this season the 04 & 03 teams had plenty of spots open, I believe they even posted on this message board looking for “players to round out our teams”.

The icemen. They were looking for players all season at all ages.

Most teams pro rate the season when they add kids, why should it be different if a kid leaves ? It’s just another black eye on those icemen guys and why their program will be dead soon. The kid I know they sued went to ppe before the team even started practice

They sued 3-4 players last year who quit for full season fees. I know one of them. He never played a game with them, yet these clowns tried to sue his family for full season fees and lost.

How many will they try to sue this year is the big question. Will it top last year ?

Lol OSU sucks - I see what you did there. I’m pretty sure it’s the mom but I guess it could be the dad or both. They along with DM managed to cover up the pot scandal from the summer pretty quick. Remember that topic got deleted here.

So you have no argument, no facts. I’m very good friends the parent. He worked with my oldest when he was younger. He’s a great skills coach, this the reason his son made it to ohl, his dad is better than what excel had to offer. The entire story is true everyone In the ppe program knows it yet here you are denying it. Guess you didn’t get a chance to talk to DM yet to put a longer reply together. you ignored every question, fact & argument I made above mom. It’s not peewee anymore, your kid fell behind everyone but you are still drinking dm’s kool aid thinking you can still get your kid somewhere. He won’t, he’s dropped off every year the past 2 seasons. He would be in major junior this season if he really had it, like the others.

Someone just sent me the live barn video of that kid starting a fight. I don’t even understand why, it was the predators last game, the game was over. Kid just tosses his gloves off and tries to pull the jersey over the Sylvannia players head and starts swinging. I understand the heat of battle, fights do happen sometimes. This kid is on strike 10 it sounds like. Nobody wants him on a team. No wonder why it’s rumored the top players on this predators team are trying to goto esmark. I can tell you from experience esmark will not put up with 2 minute shifts, making trouble, smoking pot, Thinking you are a super star or that stupid stretch pass it looks like the predators were trying to play. If I’m understanding correctly predators currently are the cheapest of the “tier 1” teams. These parents that have been at the predators will be in for a big surprise when the season with travel comes in around 12k+ I’m going to go out on a limb and say esmark won’t take any of them anyway and they will all be back at ice castle. Dave does a good job weeding out egos and problem parents / players for that program, they also like to keep their own, better the devil you known.

Hey mom, is dm writing your reply ?
