This is interesting!  NP has a great program already!  Why the need for Professional coaches?  Are they thinking of joining the ranks of AAA Independent?

No... we are focused on our AA teams and 18U Team.

North Pittsburgh is looking for Professional Coaches at various age groups. Please email intertest to coaches@wildcatshockey.net

So the Coach has never told players not to play amateur because he wanted to use his HS team as a full season team with tournaments and such included just like an amateur team?

That's correct

If there's one thing I've learned over many years about PAHL, BY teams are a bad idea.  More trouble than they're worth.  With regards to the Icemen, I think only two 06 players are from NP's 14U team.  Not sure where the others went.  NP also had their 16U tryouts in late May which I think was too late.

Yes, we do not really like the BY model ourselves. We feel it weakens the competition and the kids do not develope as much. However, so many parents scream for it without really understanding. 

Also there are a minimum of 4 06 players from NPGH on that iceman team. 

Sorry, but everything about your statement is incorrect. 

Ice isn't an issue

We have 6 teams at 14u. We need a few players to fill a couple spots. 

We have 5 teams at 16u. Need a few players to fill some spots. 

And NA coaching staff has no bearing on us and does not pressure players not to play amateur. I have boys in both systems so I know. 

North Pittsburgh has a few spots open at various 16U and 14U levels. We are holding supplemental tryout skates on the following dates. 

14u - July 10th at 10:30 am to 11:50 am

16u - July 14th at 5:00 pm to 6:10 pm
