My son plays college AAU D3 at a rink that has a black bear junior league. Live Barn has been shut off and my sons team need to send them games weekly to be loaded into their black bear tv site. This is the only black bear TV rink they play out of (their home rink) the rink was forced to move to Black Bear and they can't have any other live stream, not even their college live streaming it w/announcers. So kids lost their "internships" working for the club team. I reached out to Black bear TV and asked if they would. Minimally broadcast the club college games for free, to give back to the youth families who have paid them for years, their response "we are a paid streaming service". They are killing hockey and can't even take a suggestion to give them a little positive PR as they are being torn apart on social media. They only want money and have no interest in growing or supporting the sport.

They played Butler, not sure that is any argument worth having. TN beat Chattanooga 69-3, that was a shocker 🤣

Lol, love to know the possibly one disgruntled board member you know, or which one you were. I'm speaking from being in the room for 6 years, were you in the room? If so, you were the minority cause your little johnny didn't get what you wanted. Sit down and until you tell me you were in the room, you are going off of rumors.

Incorrect.

Coach Raco, who coached SV for years, was fired and replaced by his assistant coach (behind his back action from the assistant coach). Coach Raco is now at CC. #GoCentral

They commented this on PIHLs post, so my guess is they will broadcast starting during the QF's "Good luck to all of the teams ! We will see you all in the quarterfinals !"

I have only heard 2nd hand, but @dazedandconfused may be onto something, as I have not heard anything positive about their board. A board not only kills coaches, it kills families who are affected by a corrupt board.

Minimally charge for the horrid formatting.

I mean Central Catholic was 10-9-1 last year, 14-5-1 in 2022-23 season and 9-9 in 2021-22 season. Not sure that constitutes moving down. (And no, I don't have any ties to Central Catholic)

???? Moving up? They have been in AAA. Where did they move up to?

Nope. But nice try to jump to that common response. So elementary. Would never drive out to that rink, nor would my kid have wanted to play there. But it certainly happened to a lot of his friends due to their delusional parents.

Agree. Pretty much goes to the entire USA hockey email data base. It's a revenue stream. But if ya wanna spend the money for the camp and travel, nothing is a bad experience (except for paying for Yuri lessons in promises of making a team and being cut 🤣)

I assure you that Mars was contacted and a conversation was had. A lot of players know and play with her. A lot of players know players on the Mars team and the coach. ALL PIHL coaches know each other and most board members. These players play together outside of PIHL weekly. The implication of ill intensions is head scratching. BTW...You realize they moved the event to a larger venue as teams and players are coming from all over. It's on Yahoo news, TMZ and an Olympian tweeted about it.

I hear that Seneca Valley, North Allegheny and Pine Richland Varsity teams will all be there to show their support as well as show the community that hockey is for everyone and the events at the Armstrong game are not tolerated nor acceptable to other teams/players/coaches/fans in our area.

I'd believe you pulling a rabbit out of a hat more than what you post on this board. And you are accurate. People know the truth. Unfortunately you appear to not be one of them. Head back to Facebook for your rants. And to quote some youth baseball coach in Pittsburgh who I can't remember his name, but will never forget his quote "you can't cross a bridge if you burn it down...and by the way, fire spreads"
