Once again.... Just asking people to stay home to help the health care system. I suspect that very few on this forum will follow that advice.

It only applies to PA teams going out, not teams coming into PA

I don't know if that is 100 percent true, some local tier1 teams have games out of state next week and plan on playing them. doubt any repercussions will come of it. Once the cats out of the bag of which team(s) do next weekend im sure more will follow after that.

Because of the strengthened mandate, Baierl now requires players to wear a face covering while on the ice.

I hope your kidding?!? IF NOT thats a darn shame!!!! PA is turning in to the new Michigan

The Nation's Cup annually pits US teams against Canadian teams. Considering the current border restrictions, if a company still had this scheduled I would say that someone should be relieved of their duties.

The company that use to run the Nations Cup ( Legacy Global Sports) filed for bankruptcy earlier this year and they folded. Their top guy there now is pretty high up with 200x85, whom runs all the CCM Invites.  

Also, maybe someone has the know. BUT im hearing rumbles at for Tier1 Districts that they are taken top 8 this season? As oppose to the top 6 like every other year?

Is this true?

I just viewed the rankings for the first time this year. November just started, both of the predators midget “AAA” teams are already out of the district tournament, Embarrassing! 

Not true, their u15 team is currently in the District Tournament.

People complain about teams labeling themselves as AAA and selling that when both the talent on the team and their schedule are no where near AAA. So long as organizations do that, they will be made fun of. The practice hurts youth hockey as it dilutes the local talent pool. 'But PAHL is terrible....but we want to travel....PAHL doesn't offer what we want' blah blah blah. All arguments that have been addressed here ad naseum. The bottom line is that PAHL doesn't offer the vaunted extra A. Which still gets you nothing, because legit AAA programs aren't going to play the faux teams. Just call yourself independent, but no...I want to brag my kid is AAA....spend all my weekends traveling to play other similarly delusional programs....and the programs would be made of for that, but at least not for adding an extra A to their name and pretending to be something that they are not.

SPOT ON!!!! TRUTH HURTS!!!

Correct. The initial rankings just came out and the 15U team is already eliminated from contention to qualify for Districts. There's always next year.

look at their strength of schedule and who they have played.  Not even a top 150 AA and they are claiming AAA? the posse up there are laughing all the way to the bank!!!

Seems their u16 team is the only team that's even playing somewhat of a AAA schedule.

Anybody play games this past weekend?  How did your team play them?  Local only!  Don’t want to hear about Cleveland, etc.  You don’t have to name your team.  Just trying to gauge what teams are doing locally.  Playing full games, full benches, full contact, and what rink?

2005 Preds AAa vs 2005 Hornets aaa was at Ice castle this weekend ( sat night and Sunday morning ).  Full bench, tons of parents

Anybody hear of any games this weekend?  I know there were some out of town tournaments.  Too early for My Hockey Rankings.  I thought I heard that Preds played the Vengenance. Maybe 06 AAA .  Sure would be nice if Alpha got Live Barn.

05 Hornets aaa beat Preds 05 AAa 4-3 Saturday night.

The next morning Preds smoked Lebo something to the tune of 6-1!!!!

Anyone have friends in Michigan?   It looks like they can play regular games now with two spectators per player.  Are there caveats to that?

yes!!! you are correct their rinks opened up Wednesday and Thursday of this past week. 2 parents per player MAX!!!

Why would the rink get backlash?  Their responsibility ends with renting the ice.  They don't tell you how you have to use the ice. Just seems to me that there is no mechanism to enforce the mandates as they stand now. 

I'm sure that prick thats one here spewing his BS (we will call him Ken). Ken spewing about the virus. I be the tried to get things shutdown, seems to fit his agenda very well.

Nah, gold helmet rejects are forever too good for PAHL or school hockey. They go to Icemen.

I have to say, it's much more entertaining to go back to the regularly scheduled agenda of PE bashing than more COVID talk.

iceman is a career killer for sure

Puckcovid19, Do you know if the player that tested positive for Covid at South Fayette is back on the ice yet and did they have any additional cases?  did any of the other players have to isolate?

 

yes back on the ice now, no additional cases as school stepped in and shut program down for 2 weeks

You know the scores in the ML-Team Ohio games? Don't see it posted anywhere.

the second game 7-1 Hornets. Didn't hear first game though.

They probably won’t, Esmark is in Cleveland next weekend at the midget levels to play the barons, there is also a tournament going on hosted by team Ohio that has the icemen along with the predators. Sounds like Pittsburgh teams going to Cleveland just to play each other. Curious - would anyone share the icemen or predators midget schedule ? I genuinely would like to know who and where they are going to get any decent games. Those two teams rely heavy chicago, Michigan & buffalo tournaments.  Erie Cathedral varsity is also in this the Cleveland tournament along with some teams that play on the Ohio version of Pahl, sounds like junk. 

U15 Preds AAa lost to the Barons 4-2 and 6-2

U15 Hornets Aaa beat Team Ohio twice today.

Again, no bomb as stated by Peter. The same info I got yesterday. The only difference - I was told two kids while on vacation. So it turns out only one of the two plays for the varsity team, I assumed both played varsity.

your info on Lebo is incorrect. Yes the SF player is on the the 05 Lebo team. Nobody on that team has tested positive YET. Two kids didn’t feel well, both tested negative.
 

look I’ve been saying from the start everything is getting canceled but some of you, with your made up - axe to grind bs need to stop. 

 

The goalie whom was vacationing in SC is the one that tested positive. As for the SF player he is a JV call up, therefore hence the reason why both the JV and Varsity both are canceled as they both practiced in the last week....   

This was the email we got:
