Wondering aloud

Quick question: When does the regular high school hockey season start and end? And, can you play club hockey and do high school hockey?

That's sad news. My condolences to the family and kids he coached

Lebo coaching? You mean hornets?

For sure, like every other team under every organization, which is too bad.

The best is to find one you can tolerate

thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with me. Seems like politics is everywhere and it can be about how much you can even tolerate! 

Have friends who's kids play in Chicago, and politics is the same there too. 

 That said, there are some consistent themes that are coming out from this post that would be worth considering, in addition to the fact that I've contacted Ty several times and got no response!,

Thanks all, it's great to have a forum like this where parents can get the low down and get some honest feedback. These answers all were all pretty consistent and clear to us that this team is not for us. Cheers for taking the time!

There was a video (or at least a livebarn time and date, I cant completely remember) posted here not that long ago which showed Preds players playing dirty after the whistle and resulted in one player punching a ref. It also resulted in the parents brawling in the stands.

 If you are asking as an outsider looking in maybe thinking of moving to the area or possibly changing organizations, I would suggest you look elsewhere unless that kind of atmosphere is your thing. Just my .02 as some random hockey dad on the internet.

Why does PPE have to be the only game in town? Because they have a fancy arena and the Penguins logo on their chest? And inherited an already good system in the Hornets and then turned their back on the values of that organization by bringing in players from across the country to take the spots of local kids? Then refusing to play other AAA teams because they are to proud to admit they might lose? 
 

PAHL needs to offer an outlet for the kids that want more ice time and more games. Right now that outlet is independent “faux AAA” teams. If the PAHL had a AAA or, f*ck it even call it AA+ or AA Hybrid for all I care, division would it legitimatize these faux AAA teams for everyone?

Do you have a specific team/coach in mind or just the organization as a whole?  I like them all because they give kids an opportunity to play hockey.  Some are just better at it than others.

I heard that they "play to win" which when clarified was meant to mean they play dirty. I wondered if others felt the same way? 

Question: love to know how you feel about this team? Sportsmanship wise? Coaching wise? Team bonding wise, club wise?
