Yep, tryouts done and offers made today

Vengeance 09 has folded....that is confirmed

Thanks! Probably a blessing in disguise as we've had some pretty good offers come in that may serve him better than PE ever would. Excited to continue the journey 🙂

It is. Stupidly we thought it was just a rumor and surely they valued him enough as a solid goaltender to keep him. He'll be in 9th grade in the fall and i guess our reprieve was over. Nobody ever said anything to us the last 2 yrs but this year when the NC application wasnt conpleted it was over for him. The way the Coach this year and the new Coach for the upcoming season handled the situation was most disappointing. It became glaringly obvious that the organization only cares about bringing in money and not developing players. The amount of BS that gets spun up there is mind blowing 🤯

Yep, that would be my kid that got cut because we would not get on board with NC/ Excel. Logistically not feasible for our family but hey, as we were told they never cut kids for not doing Excel. 🤷🏻‍♀️ and to sweeten the experience the rest of the team knew by 5:30 who had made it but we had to reach out to the coach at 9:45 pm to get an answer. What. A. Joke.

Most went to the Preds....some to the Vengeance

He quit for personal reasons...

Facts....😑

DJ Stubenrauch

He did...didn't expect to see him at tryouts so that was a bit of a suprise...

Word is the two pens goalies are staying at Vengeance, but i guess we'll see next week at tryouts who shows up where....

It sure looks that way....

One is indeed moving to FL and the other i believe went to Esmark. He tried out for PPE and didn't make it.

Yes they are still planning on playing AAA and only 2 Preds kids went to Esmark.

Nope....1 local, the other is the coach's son

Yep, that's how they do....

Yes indeedy....

Vengeance 09 poached the 09 goalie from Esmark. Graciously Vengeance"made some calls" and got him into the poached goalie's spot at Esmark.?

Agreed. And none of the games played last season or so far this season have been a complete blow out so I would say it would be beneficial in improving skills.

So why would you say they don't belong? Wouldn't it be better to be challenged and grow than dominate in a AA 09 PAHL schedule? How would that be making them any better?

Played the Barons 6 times...lost twice, tied once, won 3. Played 2 different Rochester teams, won 4 of those games, tied twice....all depends on who shows up to play on any given day. Could they have played PAHL AA 09 this year , probably...but I personally think the independent schedule will be more challenging.

Preds 09 played up last season on the 08 division. The size difference was a crippling factor.....
