Need I say more ??. “Danner’s” turn!!

Hahaha ? told ya. Funny funny $$$$. King’s turn...!!???

Or, I can post for him (“them”): “Have fun watching the Team 2 playoff banner being raised.!” Ok,it’s “King’s” turn to reply.

Now it’s “Danner’s” turn to reply. Anyone wanna bet? Funny ***.

Will do, King. I’m mean Danner. ?

Yep same guy. WOW. Pretty (very) sad. Thanks again for the heads up. Lonely world when someone has two user names and responds to his own posts. Kudos for Fafa Fohi and Saucey for figuring it out and exposing him. All makes perfect sense. Sad but funny as ****.

Yes I just realized that when I read Faga Fohi’s post in another forum. Now it makes sense. Pretty pathetic and desperate l. I’m done wasting my time responding to that person with 2 monikers. Thanks for the head check.

The original poster jjinsin called them team 1 and team 2 douchebag. And yeah that’s really gonna make me lose sleep. Oh it stings so bad.

Go **** yourself. Nobody is talking to you. And you or your kid is on Preds 2. I don’t care what you have to say and it appears that nobody else does either.

What he said. Reschedule.

I have defended the organization based on the posts regarding the U18 coaches And teams specifically at the AA level, where there has been success. so I do give kudos to the Predators organization for that. And I do believe returning players will try to be convinced to play “AAA” for Gary. I do not think it’s right to pay gym fees or lessons fees as others have pointed out, but there’s inherent costs at AAA that are higher (more practice ice, more games, longer game, travel) which are advertised in the the registration (or should be). The added costs I feel that are acceptable are tournament fees, lodging, incidentals relating to travel, practice jerseys,etc. But I don’t feel that any player should be required to join a certain gym or go to private lessons as an added cost to be on a certain team. I also know there are coaches fees. But I really don’t think those are hidden? I don’t think parents are naive but I do believe that parents are willing to pay whatever they are asked so that there son can play “AAA.” So they are “AAA” on paper. But parents chase the extra “A” for the kid just so they can say he plays AAA. That’s what I see wrong with it. Bottom line, it’s a lot of money to play AAA hockey for a team that won 8 games all year.

Understood (I guess). But I don’t have the vested interest you think I do. And I’m definitely not digging into the nitty gritty as you have. Perhaps you’re right about the fees, but I’d disagree that the Nationals are watered down. Sure it’s an added expense, but playing hockey isn’t cheap. So parents know in advance that they may may have to open up the check book to fund trips. It’s not only hockey these days but every sport. It comes with the territory and I don’t think parents can’t say they didn’t know the costs. The higher level played means more money. I have no knowledge on how the payments to the organization are disbursed but I don’t disagree with you. Again I think it’s all the amateurs organizations. Not the Predators exclusively. They all want to make money. And the fees are advertised. And I don’t think the organizations pay for the fees to Nationals. The patents do. So I agree with you there as well. But not everyone is as bitter.

Sounds like you’re the one with experience there when perhaps your son hasn’t played AA or AAA hockey and feel like he was shafted. Not sure, but It doesn’t matter when I joined. I just wanted to bring to light that there is good stuff happening in the organization (although you’d never agree). So since you constantly bad mouth the Preds organization, not everyone agrees. Sounds like you had bad experiences, and you carry it with you, but it doesn’t mean that your experience is representative of everyone associated with the organization. So I wanted to add a fresh perspective for a team that despite all the mud slinging qualified for Nationals and is a nice team with good coaching. And yes this is the Predators organization. Also, sure how anyone can be strong armed into playing Tier 1?? They either tryout for Tier 1 or they don’t. I don’t know the attraction would be because that team could not complete with Esmark and PPE. And how can anyone be forced to play Tier 1 when the fees are substantially more? Not everyone wants that financial commitment.

Signed. Maybe it gets rescheduled?? That’s the goal I guess.

No sour grapes for me. I don’t have a pony in the race. Just pointing out facts about the two teams where the original poster asked if Team 2 was better than Team 1. Team 1 won the regular season PAHL banner with 2 losses. Team 2 finished 4th. Team 1 more importantly won MidAms, when the same poster suggested that the Icemen would run away with the States. Sound like they had to go through Team Thomas who beat Icemen 3 out of 4 times. With that being said, I believe that having Team 1 Thomas and Team 2 Bush is a positive thing for the Predators organization. Two nice teams with no drama. Figured it’s nice to mix in some good with all the negative stuff posted on this board. Looks like 18U should be strong next year assuming Thomas keeps his team together since it’s a 2002 team.
