No surprises tonight.

Actually I believe their 08 team won two in Chicago as well. They went 2-2 and had a decent showing

Back on topic - what are the matchups to watch next week? Looking at the schedule I don't see much. Maybe Bethel vs CV? I'm not as familiar with the levels below AAA or the AA teams that moved down but doesn't seem like a lot of competitive matchups.

Don't tell icebucket. She might go nuts. Her son was better than Gibson.

You said best goalie to play PIHL.

John Gibson played PIHL. I'm pretty sure he takes that best goalie award.

Baldwin currently looking really rough again tonight

Preaching to the choir here.

AAA hockey waits for no one stick boy

At least in the South hills it does seem as though there are a lot more freshmen and sophomores playing this year. That being said I also realized some coaches use this tournament to gauge the JV kids on who might be ready so it's really hard to say.

12 penalties is a little excessive in a preseason tournament.

My understanding is Baldwin is barely holding on to existing as a program themselves. Might be a long year for them in AA.

Point taken but it's still hard to beat anyone 10-0 in my opinion.

Seeing as SV won 10-0 tonight they must have done something right.

?

Don't know anything about the Pine goalie situation but the NA game was a shocker for me.

I think every game tonight might be surprising (not necessarily result but score). https://www.pihlhockey.com/

Great news

I wondered the same. Didn't see anything on their website.

Also really hard to say because some teams use this to play JV and Varsity players and some take it really serious and play to win. Without knowing each teams strategy it's really hard to guess.

Yeah 5 two and 10s is plenty haha. If you argue some kids have a reputation and it gets around you'd be right and they probably earned it.

Don't forget SCIR are now vengeance. I know they fielded a AAA 08 team. On a different post someone said they ended up putting together an 09 team as well.

What age group?

It's all a crapshoot on which players each AAA team are playing each night. Obvious candidates would be the ones who just got moved down (Baldwin, canon mac, etc) but on any given night if a large school is playing jv2 kids against starting varsity players at A, anything can happen.
