Why do so many on this board have an issue with Squirt and Peewee AAA teams? Other than the obvious, that their kid couldn't make one. If your kid is one of the top Pgh area kids in their birthyear, and you have the funds, why not let them practice and play with and against the other top kids? The great thing about hockey is that kids get to play with other kids at their ability level. Unlike every other sport where the top kids play, and the late bloomers or less talented ride the bench until they quit. So, embrace it. If your kid is one of the top players at 9-12, let them have the experience of playing against the best teams from the USA and Ontario. God knows it could end at any time. Are you saying that the AAA programs in Pittsburgh don't have midget teams?
