  1. Did you read what I said? Your disagreement has nothing to do with what I responded with. Your logic/example says anyone who is harassed should have their own safe space to play with like people. That was my comment to you. If you don't like how you come across or how you sound so ignorant, as you are recommended segregation in hockey with your example, that's on you. As you brought it out as the example and I'm just calling it what it is Back stepping into game counts and practices has nothing to do with my comment. Good damn lord. Ps . I'm a female ex college D1 athlete, and 3 sport HS all American, so yeah. Tell me about female sports and our fight. Please. Enlighten me?!? My argument was with your poor example of why girls don't or won't want to play pihl and why they need other places.to play . Girls have fought for years across more than sports. FYI. So I take offense to you insinuating we can't handle some name calling when boys and girls have unfortunately dealt with it for centuries. Im not engaging with you anymore.
  2. What happened to that goalie was awful, and 100% should never happen. But if you think all players regardless of sex don't deal with the BS of horribly raised children, you live in a bubble. Racist comments are all over the ice (and any sport), as well as derogatory comments to all players regardless of race, sex, etc. until people start raising their kids correctly and ramifications are handed out, some kids will just continue (ill lump parents in their too) I'm not downgrading anything, but by that statement you are saying any demographic that doesn't fit what you perceive as a hockey demographic should have their own team and league to not deal with poorly raised players and parents. 🤔 I thought we were all trying to go the other direction....
  3. It seems like a simple equation to me. Using pahl was a bad term, I should have used amateur. Pihl and amateur fall into separate "conferences" not sure the best word to use there and players can play in both. Amateur and school. Missing an amateur game for an amateur game shouldn't happen. Just like you can't miss a pihl game for a pihl game, as you can only play on one pihl team 🤷🤦🤔 Seems simplistic to me. Everyone can play amateur and pihl. That should be the only hockey conflicts.
  4. Our family is out of the game as it pertains to pahl, pihl and anything youth hockey. My only 2 cents is my sons pahl team when he was 14u had a female player (she was very good) but missed half of the pahl co-ed games due to conflicts with her girls team or the other 3rd (and 4th) team she was on. At one point the conflict was them playing each other. I feel that is an issue. A pahl teammate missing games/practice for a pihl conflict is ok and acceptable. But to miss because of pahl or similar conflicts I see an issue...Mind you this was years ago, I can imagine it happens more now. Just something to think about..... Boys only miss for pihl hockey conflicts... So ultimately it hurts the team (s) they may be multi rostered on....
  5. As long as mid am gets their $$, pretty sure they don't care who is there and who is not.
  6. I dunno. My son had a parent coach his first 2 years (which he didn't start ice untill u12) and they were both pretty bad. Taught him wrong things, kids acting like idiots, almost dangerous on the ice with no ramifications or correction, it was awful, he wanted to quit. So I think it all depends on the coach. Not all parents, not all paid coaches, not all ex players can be coaches. It takes a person who knows the game, can handles kids appropriately and can discipline in the right way. Unfortunately, that typically lands on a paid coach as they don't have a personal association with a child and said childs friends. And they also typically have coached longer than a parent coach.
  7. I think every parent coach situation is different and the majority of parents realize a parent coach who is experienced and a good coach vs a parent. But let's all be honest... up until recently the "parent coaches" were just parents who could stand on skates and coach in PAHL... it's the last few years where PAHL orgs have stepped it up to have parent coaches who actually played hockey and had the aptitude to coach. Not everyone who can skate or played hockey can coach. Just saying. Can't put them all in one bucket. Frankly some of them suck and were coaching for their player, family, friends benefit and it was obvious to what teams had that approach (cough, cough, NP to name one)
  8. I disagree to an extent. AAA in our area grew out of a crappy AA (PAHL) alternative (for 80% of player a few years ago). Kids wanting to work hard vs jag off. Kids wanting to pick practice over a Friday night football game. Kids wanting to show up at practice vs stay home and play video games. AAA had accountability (which most pahl orgs did not). Today it is probably different with dillusuonal parents. But when my kid played he moved to AAA because he was annoyed with the level of responsibility, accountability and dedication in the team, organization and league.
  9. I have said this 100 times. But I'll say it again. Kids need to pick a college based on the college they want to got to, the curriculum and the campus. If they have hockey, bonus! But club hockey (unless they are getting $$$, which means D1 in a sports scholarship and D3 typically a large academic scholarship ) should not drive their decision. Just my 2 cents.
  10. Lost faith in MHR when they told me all games should be reported. Even ones that were scrimmages who had more players on the bench than would be USA hockey sanctioned approved games. They basically said a floor hockey game should be reported. 🤦🤷🤔
  11. From what I have heard, their board runs the team, vs coaches.... which may be their challenge.
  12. And that is why people who are not part of this cult realize how bad it is for Pittsburgh hockey....
  13. I'd argue they are going backwards in their development. Certainly their check books are going backwards. I'm sure Yuri has them in his lessons 🤣
  14. I can't believe teams are not canceling games against them. All around it's not a good situation. I am also assuming the teams they were playing started to hold up and still scored all of those goals and kept them from scoring any in like a 10 game stretch. Where did they find enough families to think this is normal? Losing is one thing, but this... Are they developing them at all?
