Who did the old HC con? From my knowledge he has no criminal record and is a military veteran.

I've NEVER heard a negative word about him, plus he is former military....  OK in my book, hope it works out well for them

Just heard the league fired jaison and there are apparently new owners rebranding the team to make it legit. 

Should be exciting if it is marketed the right way and not the way the league ended last season.

heard from a buddy that the new ownership is the guy that was their HC. and few of his friends that are well plugged into the hockey community.. But of course like everything is all he say she say until it officially comes to light

He is doing something right, plucking hockey players off the front lines in Kharkiv and bring them to New Kensington!

Yes those tenders are great for those guys, but their t1 league is tied to the Nahl, so teams have to invite a number of players. I'd be curious how many make a team, I don't know the answer.

tenders are nothing more the a invite to main camp and that team owns your rights for the season coming up. 90 percent of them dot make the tendered nahl team anyways they end up in ncdc or na3 or usphl

someone was saying at the hockey store today that this team is going to try and field a team next season too......HOW?

Unfortunately, the players would have all quit if they had to continue playing for the old coach. 
We were left with very little choices on who to pick. Nobody was really lining up to coach this team or be involved in the league in its first year. Can’t blame anyone for that.
Only choice we had was a players father. 

 

Like I said. The league continued to look like a joke and guys were embarrassed to be a part of a league who continued to have games cancelled and teams drop out. What’s the point of playing these games when nobody bothered to send a decent squad to us. 

then maybe first off should not have fired the first coach, and once that happened. Pgh should have just folded then.

Team folded due to player issues. Guys no longer wanted to play road games. The schedule was terrible. Guys no longer wanted to keep the commitment they signed up for.  Etc.

Players paid $350 total for the season. That covered jerseys, practice slots, our travel, and hotels. 

Players received $500 for every sponsor sold

The last coach was fired due to the players no longer wanting to play for him. Had nothing to do with the owner.

 

sounds like the player didn't care for the daddy coach either if the team folded due to player commitment ONLY

They can just play men's league. The better beer leagues around here are a higher level of hockey anyway

are the level by looking at you tube is slow to mid c level over all. BUT hey the con man coned them into thinking it was pro level hockey lol....... All it was was travel beer league.

AND Finally this train wreck oof a team has folded up shop. With their 2 forfeits today the league had finally booted the con artist out!!!!!! Shocked it took this long to do so....

The whole point about the Preds AA PAHL team being unquestionably better than their AAA team speaks volumes about their program as a whole. Not to mention that it indicates that the players and family’s “in the know” understand the price points and how the return on investment (or lack thereof) is a vacuum of spent money for nothing of significance in return.

When the 18U AA team is receiving consideration and attention from higher level scouts, but their AAA team is not…well, there’s that “situation” and whatever label we would want to call it.

higher level scouts for u18aa team? lol this isn't Chicago.  highest level even looking would be a pay to play........

Didn't this guy just have a formal arraignment?? What happened? I heard there was barely 200 people if that at their last game.

no idea but judging by the YouTube feed I would say lucky to have 100 even

that coach is a liar and not a good human being.  Parents let their kids play for him the are not good parent. He calls kids names that their worst enemies wouldn’t call them.  Basically a bully to kids. Parents are afraid to say anything cause he guarantees he is going to get them to juniors.   That guy shouldn’t be aloud to coach.  Ask all the refs and other teams.  That guy is destroying Esmark’s rep.    While you have yuri which is an awesome coach and really knows hockey.   If you pay for privates with that coach you will play.  It’s a business.   Also tells lies that Esmark 2011 has #1 forward in pa.   Already getting recruited for college at 12.   Also smokes vapes on benches.    Quits on kids like a baby.  Not a man at all. 

which coach is this?

One thing is clear, Alex Thomas was correct choice for player of year.   The other 5 are debatable.  

I think less weight needs to be given to assists.  If you are at all familiar with high school hockey then I don't need to explain why. 

na Jake is a heck of a player himself.. the CV and SF onees though for sure deff shouldn't be on but is what is

Read between the lines people. Jaison Kelly has to be the worst human that resides in Pittsburgh. He’s a con artist and a flat out loser . A fuckup. Until his hands are still on this River Monsters, I’m staying away. Praying he goes to jail on his arraignment that’s in April for fraud.

the whole league is a joke tbh.... how many name changes this season alone.  3 already....

They going to move up and play with the big boys? 

ii am willing to bet and, and they are losing most of their fire power this season. as they are mostly seniors 

TJ was the best team in AA for the last 3 seasons... congrats TJ

apparently not a lot of kids showing up for those open skates for 09 esmark 

I sure he will show up at mid ams in Toledo again this year and try his usual tricks 

I bet the parents are happy they don't have to fly half way across the country for this though....

Now that midams are over, any surprises?  Looks like pens crushed it at every level except 18U where Culver won.  How about Tier 2?  

we all know they will get the at large bid like they always do then get tail handed to them at natty like normal
