No, probably 50 with 150 A Major players filling out the rest. 

50 might be a far stretch. probably enough for 2-3 teams 

group 3 in u18. come on now seriously?

By the looks of things 16AAA and 16AA in Pittsburgh should be a little more competitive with Shaha dropping out at 16 and 18 AAA.

Seemed to be a shakeup on most teams at that 16U in the area.

 

16U AAA Looking like Pens, Esmark and Vengance should be at the upper end.

16U AA should be Mt Lebo, North Pitt and Renegades pushing the upper end of AA.

I thought the u16 remark team folded ? no ?

they may or may not survive only time will tell..... BUT I do remember when W&J had hockey team that played there. the rink and jays ws jam packed on a fri and sat night for it and that was sub par club hockey.... so who knows there might be a niche for this in south hills.

Looks like the owner is jaison kelly per their website. Go ahead and Google, would love to hear everyone's first thoughts. 

and...... so sounds just like every other faux AAA owner as well he was just caught 

Anyone ever heard of this yet? They are playing in the NEHL........ and going by the name Pittsburgh River Monsters.....

What's the deal with the '07 (16U) Vengeance for 2023-2024?  Did they pull kids from the folded Esmark and SAHA teams to bolster/revamp their lineup?

Do they have legitimate AAA roster for this upcoming season or is the team full of faux AAA players? 

so Yuri team folded huh. why?

bet they left bc their little johnny might get seen at PPE. PPE is known nation wide not matter who they lose to.  99 percent of teams west of say MICHIGAN have zero clue who the PGH Vengeance even are.

Esmark pulled this shit two seasons ago when they folded the 06 BY team right after tryouts.  It is a bush move to cash the tryout checks and not return those fees to the kids that made the team and committed to the team prior to them folding.  Garbage move by Esmark but I am not surprised.

Yuri is on this board, maybe he will chime in to why they keep it, but yes a scum bag move

Thanks for the info!  I heard rumor that your 18U Midget team was going to be an Independent AAA team.  Any truth to that?

yea, just what pgh needs more crazy wanna be aaa parents 

and hence why 16 18 do terrible at nationals or oh wait dont make and have to Sean at large bid, when they dont belong at nationals in the first place

Has anyone else here heard about the possible Esmark B team at the 2011 age? A few of the players from our 2011 team went to a skate for this team and were made offers yet they arent sure if the team is happening yet. I feel this is Black Bear at work trying to fill as much ice time as possible

runaway very very fast

Why are people leaving Esmark and Vengeance? I know Preds will be playing in THF but Esmark is already playing in the THF.

reason is why travel as much as the stars do to play in naphl ( league is weak ) and the other 2 leagues they are in are new and not very strong YET. What you pay in travel alone would pay for 2 press seasons to be in the same leagues ( obv minus naphl)

Why Preds?  Isn’t that usually the last stop?

na that's saved for the ICEMAN, but a close second

Armstrong, South Fayette advance to Penguins Cup finals | Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Armstrong owns SF. and if it wasn't for BC forfeit SF wouldn't have made it.

One of the remaining teams guess for yourself 

I would guess SF bc thats who they would've played. 

that just gave SF a trip to the finals to lose to Armstrong AGAIN.....

Lost to Esmark 4-2. After losing to the 5 and 6 seed I would say an at large is unlikely, but we'll see.

what happened to their social media super star? not playing or is it that he's just average when it matters

I was flipping through Livebarn too, and the 16U PPE team just lost to OBJ 3-1.

does it really matter with the political pull on team they will get an at large bid.

SF will win the AA division.  IMO

sf might be lucky to make out of first roound, but Armstrong owns them
