For me - doesn't matter if it's B or AAA as long as the games are competitive for my kids. I want them to be in a place where they are frequently challenged but in an environment where they can get puck touches without being steamrolled.

In other news Lebo V NA in the final on livebarn right now at Alpha.

I disagree with this only in and of as much as I have found the rankings REALLY helpful in finding teams + or -30 of mine in the rankings to play for very competitive games.

You are right, it is all just semantics. What you are saying is absolutely what I think minor birthyear teams can do but if PAHL can preserve competition by calling it "AA minor" then who gives a crap?

I don't know anyone to ask but I saw that and thought it was very strange.

If you have a Major AA bracket, a Minor AA bracket and then the rest of the brackets? The problem is many of these teams end up slotting themselves at AA, playing kids majority the birthyear older, and getting hammered all year long. Also - I'm guessing egos won't let them play PAHL even if it was restructured. How could you call yourself AAA then?

Anyone ever solve what happened to the blog/news?

Not that I agree or disagree but could you elaborate?

"Left"

Bethel Park all over the map

Yes doesn't look like it's been updated in a month.

That's pretty impressive.

Did the new thread disappoint?;; Still just the mask at Lebo and that's it?

Most of the time these rules fade from play after a few months.

I've seen multiple games already be curfewed in part due to the extra stoppages.

Even though I agree this isn't an NCAA football town, that program probably has a much higher profit margin.

You can't make this stuff up. Next year they will start the "Doodle Bug Elite" program for only the best 5 year olds

Did Rostraver roof collapse twice? I was thinking it happened again ~2015ish a year or two before the Kraft thing. Then again Covid lockdown and ensuing craziness has made my sense of time distorted so maybe not.

Yes they own Southpointe

Does this match the dreaded myhockeyrankings placements?

If skills coaches are being pushed out there must be plenty of demand for ice at the price they are asking?

So far Lebo is still the only place I know of with anything.

There really isn't much of a path out of this now. The goalpost has been moved out of the stadium so I'm expecting we either buckle down and live as normally as possible with some risk like we do with everything else in life or we will be having interruptions to hockey season for the rest of our lives. Vaccines help but both sides now admit that we are still getting a lot of breakthroughs and even enough to hospitalize people and that a variant will likely come along even more resistant to vaccines. Not sure that anyone has a good long term goal now to get hockey back to a normal season without interruptions.

I agree about the banned part at least for some period of time. With the organization part that is tougher - if their response was cutting the kids and telling them they couldn't play for the organization anymore I don't see the point. You can't sue an organization for something outside their control assuming they took action as soon as told. If we are dealing with a Sandusky type cover up....then I agree totally - Penn State should have been sued out of existence.

Don't forget Rostraver!
