He started as a AAA mite and developed up to juniors draft 😉

Exactly

"count" is a strong word. The question is whether at the price and sales pitch they are giving they are actually developing players or just good at getting a good kid to come in one or two years and play. If what Zarg posted is correct, they really only truly developed one player of the bunch. That's still great and all but not like actually developing 7 kids for the NHL.

It's the elite mite program starting to show dividends

I heard 20k base + equipment/uniforms + NC + Excel.

You said 2016 players in what I quoted so I assumed you were talking about squirt.

They have been doing this for a while now. They don't divide the teams til after summer to reduce people jumping ship when they make the B team.

All of them probably can for the right price.

I didn't say "higher level". I said better and by that I meant better organized, less travel, more recognition, the things people said above. I also think skill level depends on the level of high school, many AAA and high level AA teams are made up almost entirely of AAA and AA club players (or in the case of many juniors and seniors former AAA players). Would be some interesting matchups against the best 18u AA teams in PAHL.

Pens used to take donations at the UPMC facility at the front in a big box and use them. Not sure if it is still there or not but you could call and check.

They had a dedicated locker room in the old dump too.

Fired or quit or retired is a better question 😂

Yes in Milan Park right off the interstate. WVU has no interest in NCAA hockey nor any other type. I'd be shocked if they invested one dime into this - probably was the amateur hockey association and maybe the club team pitching in.

I'm sure someone will step up for the extra A

Oh sorry was thinking PAHL instead of PIHL. Are they still geographically done?
