@Hockey1 hey mom we are waiting for a reply here. Get your nose out of David’s arse and reply, thanks!

Mom your nose is so far up his a$$ it’s ridiculous, you must be giving him reports that you are defending him in The public. Hockey is worse off with that megalomaniac involved. All these great community things would have still happened under the pro team and all the nhl programs. he hasn’t helped build anything, all he did was use his influence, money and power to surround his son with the best players at his BY along with a coach who’s won and was beating his ass at his own game. lets talk about the 03 dad who’s kid currently plays in the ohl. Last year when the dad questioned dm on excel being a conflict of interest the dad was banned from the rink. They tried to ban him from away games with a threat to him against his youngest in the program. DM tried to make a example of him to the other parents such as you, get in line and don’t Question anything. I personally know this parent along with all the details to the story. So please defend DM here. This man really did give back unlike DM. This man would ise the instructor icetime at Baierl and some of the excel 03 kids would come work for free with him. That was DM biggest problem with the man, kids were skipping excel Once a week to get BETTER instruction for free in a smaller group. keep riding DM, it’s getting your kid nowhere. My 99 was draft in the ushl futures draft, jealous mom ? Though he never made it to the ushl, I know how much it hurts you just to read that. tell me what kid going to public school can make a practice that starts at 1:50 ? NONE.

Ummm you are forgetting they took the two best players from the blue jackets. The 03s never won a national championship. The 02s did last year with a handful of 03s on the team. One 03 who is now on the ndtp contributed.

Umm yes he was playing this weekend at upmc for the team. The kid was only off the team for a few days. As per usual you don’t know what you’re talking about. Keep drinking the Morehouse kool aid, you are stuck under his thumb. You replying to this topic made it very clear who you are, MOM.

don’t waste your breathe on her lunacy, I know who she is now.

Everyone that knows anything about local hockey, the history and how things operate are laughing at this post.

So please tell me how a kid going to high school is going to make a mid day practice ?

Ding ding this guy gets it.

I understand all that. Again it’s just a second Pahl championship tournament in the end with the occasional local indie team. Looking at midget - 18s it’s Pahl with the indie icemen, 16s are just all Pahl teams.

Not to come of like a d!ck, tier 2 It’s not a district championship. For some reason they are calling it “states” now and it’s not. It’s just Pittsburgh teams, just about everyone that applies makes it. Not to mention there is something like 3-4 different tier 2 national champions. It’s really just a another Pahl championship the local independent team (Icemen) partake in.

Tier 1 is compete. 18s winner esmark. Not much of a surprise here, nothing to to note accept PPE getting destroyed by everyone. 16s winner PPE. Think we all saw this coming, some interesting thoughts at this age group - PPE killed everyone (preds 12-0, barons 9-0, Sylvania 6-1) esmark 03’s appear to be the only team that gave ppe a game losing by a score of 2-0. Cleveland Barons - what happened to this program ? 0-3 giving up 21 goals and only scoring 1 goal. 15s winner blue jackets. I would say this was a small upset, someone on the board did call this out as possible. congratulations to the district tier 1 champions and the teams that all made it to the tournament!

Take everything you just said, now Replace the name with David Morehouse. Not much different except the operating budget behind the teams eh ?

Speaking of the 18s, word this weekend PPE will only have one team at that age next year. The 18 prep team. They finally found a away to force the 18s into nc/excel. The team will practice at noon every day. So as I first said this team will be for post grad kids not in high school anymore, if you are still in hs you will have to attend nc. The team will attract better out of state players that have graduated still hanging onto the dream. not sure how many of you nc/excel cheerleaders, dreamers will get a gold helmet, if any do. Your best chance will be this, it’s first year.

He’s not a bad coach, sure it was all about his kid and mr m was paying him back. The issue with that team was he also picked it. FYI the 03s did not win the national championship last year. Two 02s carried that team at nationals, go look up the stats, they are still online. I won’t dispute mueller, he’s a excellent coach. One of the top in the country, that’s why they tossed all that money at him. 03 ppe could never beat him when he was at the mission, mr m need him and his star player to be around his kid.

I forgot about bob errey and the mess he started, maybe that is what made Ralph really start to see the dollar signs. Gary is a huge problem for that program, I’m sure everyone can agree on that, yet he’s coaching two “aaa” teams again next year. If they would cut the aaa teams out below the midget age they would probably be able to field really good aa teams, those would eventually feed into tier 1 midget but again, they need real coaches at tier 1. Not the owner who never played and Gary who just adds whatever kids take lessons from him or pay for his gym. To be a equal basher, Bishop is similar with the gym thing, yuri is to when it comes to lessons. This is why PPE will always be the top dog. Sure they have politics to but they are not as trivial such as taking lessons from a coach or using his gym.

This is why I say they (preds) could become a legit tier 1 option. I don’t know all the reasons that program has turned to crap but one of them is coaching. They could have it set up nice, AA teams feed into the tier 1 teams. They have a great location and nice facility. As it stands PPE & ESMARK are currently the only real tier midget programs. I know some folks think I’m crazy, there isn’t enough talent, etc, but there is.

I was referring to nationwide numbers, it roughly comes out to 1% but I get your point. My point was okay where your kid gets playing time, has fun and hopefully a good group of parents, lastly try not to go into debt!

The answer - nobody outside of the top 1% at ppe will have any kid of hockey career after high school. So have fun, hope your kid has fun and try not to break the bank.

And that is the main problem with that program.

I would agree and I haven’t looked at any scores yet.

You are completely wrong. The rink loses money every year, the college makes it look like it doesn’t. The only rink in the area that is making a good profit is ice castle, this is because the owner also runs the preds.

Nothing against the vengeance, the reason I feel the predators could become a real 3rd option is due to location. Esmark is right by harmar, ice castle has nothing out that way, there are good players in the south hills. I heard today Gary is coaching two tier 1 midget teams again so, as per usual you can toss them out as a real 3rd option. If the predators would bring in some good coaching they could loss the money grab moniker and become a real 3rd option, for some reason they choose not to.

Yes, sort of the point I was trying to make that there could be 3 legit tier 2 midget programs here.

My oldest had the talent. We didn’t have the money. The New England prep school they wanted him was giving g him some “scholarships” it still would have cost me 25k a year the school was almost 50k a year.
