PPE - no games this season???
aaaahockey replied to dazedandconfused's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
@Danner27 have you heard more updates about this ? I've heard 3-4 times this week no games for PPE now. Not sure if it's a limited time thing, a just at UPMC thing, or if they are just done. If there really aren't games, are they talking about refunds and/or are the parents furious? -
NHL suspends playoffs in protest
aaaahockey replied to Jack Handey's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
I wasn't surprised. The anchors on NBC right after the NBA announced this Wednesday immediately talked about "Hockey Culture" and how they are trying to be more inclusive. I knew the NHL was going to do the same thing as soon as it was announced. -
https://www.wtae.com/amp/article/soccer-tourney-attracting-thousands-of-youths-a-concern-for-allegheny-county-health-officials/33810548 This is one to watch. Sure it's outdoors and sure it's not hockey but let's see how it goes and how the health department reacts.

Midam/USA hockey decision on hockey
aaaahockey replied to Wes's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
I would say we should just remind them that people are just leaving the state to play hockey, which seemingly is more dangerous than just playing it here, but who knows Wolf might try to ban that as well. -

Kinda like whining about your fears on a message board aren't going to make us change our mind about playing hockey? -

I'm sure one of the Wolf apologists on here can tell us why science proves that is a good idea but I'm with you. -

I believe the answer is rinks can be open at 50% capacity for recreational activities (open skate, maybe stick time) but cannot be for sports activities (hockey games or practices). -

Plus schools don't own rinks so hopefully there is some language in there that addresses this. If the school says yes but the rink doesn't have any authority they are still capped at 25 per state law. -

Is there any ice in WV? I was under the impression Wheeling and Morgantown were not putting it in? Ohio I believe. -
Covid-19 vs the Flu

Honestly Little Johnny could die of the flu. Kids die of the flu every year. -

Didn't Mid-am just dictate we had to play 25 max in PA last weekend? -

Hey if the legislature gets serious about fixing this, the correct answer is passing legislation that limits the liability of schools and organizations in a serious way from lawsuit over Covid. Then we can get back to school, sports, etc without all the stop and starting. Everyone is so damned worried about a lawsuit (much more than worried about the virus) that everyone is paralyzed. -

Tons if they do open. I wondered about RMU does it count as outdoor? -

My understanding of the Mid-Am guidance is exactly what Danner said about Denver. They told everyone to abide by state rules. So PA we have the 25 person indoor limit for recreational sports. Different in NY, Indiana, Ohio, WV, etc. -

I don't know about the checking part, but with 9 skaters 5 v 5 would be pretty hard. On the flip side we can help the kids get ready for their transition to beer hockey when no one shows up -

That was the article I posted a few months ago about AAU was going to take off. The big question is what the rinks do. -

Well my kids would rather play than not play plus the exercise is good for them but we can agree it's stupid. -

aaaahockey replied to Wes's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
You have a written source on this (Mid-am)? I heard the rumor 3 months ago but have still never seen a written rule of any sort. To me as awful as it sounds 3v3 would make more sense than 4v4 with 9 skaters. -

aaaahockey replied to Wes's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
Oh i think I was reading this thread wrong. Above they were saying Mid-AM made a rule that only 25 people in each rink? That's been PA's rule for a while now (unless you have separate rooms, so if you had two rinks that could be 25 per sheet of ice). (Yes, I know places have been skirting the rules). So this would extend beyond PA to Ohio, indiana, etc correct? Is this "rule" written down anywhere? -

This meeting was last night (Friday?) or tonight (Saturday)? If it already happened i can make a couple calls and find out but I didn't hear anything today and as a matter of fact had some games scheduled. -
I feel like we should build a monument.

The community coming together didn't necessarily mean physically. It meant that's the tie that holds community pride together. That was a straw man, fear mongering argument.
