Preds returning money. Now that's funny!

I hear you. And by no means am I defending the teams or players as far as talent goes. I was just trying to inform on how the teams were picked. Also there is no way they would get together and slot the players and teams where they belong. We all know their 18uaaa coach picks by what school you play for and what gym you belong to. Its a shame because they were good in years past. My son played there and won multiple banners when it was mostly an aa program. Bob Errey came over from southpointe and started this mess when his team joined the NJPHL and opted out of PAHL. Its been downhill from there.

Thomas came in with around 13 players from the Icemen. Bush started out around 10 including the Peters Twp. group that follows him around. Bush then took most of the 16AA '02s. Thomas took the other 2 from that team.(one of them being an'03 who didn't want to play for the 16aa coach.Not sure how they picked from there.

Most of the AA players were at AAA tryouts because its extra ice. The tryouts are set up that way. You pay for 1 and can attend all tryouts. Again the team that won in the playoffs had 7 '02s and 13 01's. To answer the King I know of at least 3 who were offered spots on the AAA team that declined. Probably because either the player or parent was smart enough to know that team could not compete at AAA.

I don't know if I would call the #2 team an '01 BY team. Bush has at least 6 '02s from last years 16uAA team

Teams are closer than their records show. I believe they played 4 times this year and all were close. I don't know a lot about the first coach. He came over from the Icemen. Bush is a good coach who has taken his team to nationals before. Not surprised either way.

Wow! What a great man you and your wife have raised. Not many players would have done that. RESPECT!

Not sure I follow. Was the core of this team not the national champion SHAHA team that played 15u aaa for preds last year?

Point was they were not preds to begin with and the coaches were not preds also. They came from the icemen.

Its crazy how these rumors change. I heard from a parent on the 16u aa team that the goalie threatened to quit because the player was suspended and the rest of the team wanted the kid back. Who knows? Unless your kid is on that team does anyone know the truth ? Bottom line is the preds were once a good organization but now its all about the money. If they let the aaa kids play on aa where they belong they would still have good teams. As it is now the are not very good in PAHL. Their best team came from the icemen and most of their other top teams are average at best.

He is the head coach but doesn't go on the ice. Tyler and Mason run most of his practices. 2 players were called up of the 16u AA team. 1 forward and 1 D.

Not yet but the king does have a new ride every 2 months with a certain dealers plate on it.

Train wreck. Top D on 15u did move up as well as a D and F from the 16u aa team. Player suspended indefinitely.

Preds are train wreck. You are 100% correct. Its all about who pay for private lessons and what gym you belong to as well as what high school you go to. That's the kings business model. The only above average team is the 18u aa team that they highjacked from the Iceman and the only competitive aaa team is 16u who has most of the shaha national championship team that was highjacked the year before. Their other 18u aa team is mid pack, the 16u aa team hasn't won a game yet in pahl after 7 games and the 14u aa major team is dead last.

Look who is coaching the team. Hes been doing that for years.
