Get a camera. Stand by yourself near the boards and take pictures. Preferably with your headphones in so you can listen to music. Enjoy the memories when they’re done playing.

Have to agree and also add that I had begun to sell this forum short in recent years. It seemed all that was talked about was PPE and NC. Well done.

Mighty Penguins sled team takes equipment, including skates. They remove the blade and tuik providing protection for the feet and ankles for their players. I highly recommend.

I’m out of the game by a few years, he is off to college now. I believed NP was a good value. No real lies or false promises, solid coaching.

And yet, by your own description, it is HIS.

The school with no input.

…..usually.

If the Board has any say in coach hiring or compensation.

Oh, if only that were true everywhere.

I was thinking farther north.

I saw in a different thread Avonworth beat NC 3-2.

PAHL, IMHO is a classic pyramid scheme in that the bulk of the money is paid by the lowest age group. The Squirt parent that is brand new to travel hockey and doesn’t know anything about the organization or the league, their kid made a team and they start writing checks. By the time Mom and Dad start to figure things out and ask questions, their kid is older and probably a year away from HS and we all know that is where the drop off starts. PAHL administration know that there is an endless supply of folk that will give them 4-6 years of money, nobody is doing anything to challenge them or propose a viable alternative so why should they change?

We have a little bit of work to do.

I suppose the story wasn’t good enough to tell.

Has to be a deeper story here…
