Just looked at the ICEMEN website, there's no 18u Team. At least that saves about 20 parents considerable $$.

Likely better to have a solid management team owning the rink going forward who can better handle large capital expenditures.

please do tell us what was wrong with that rink. For those of us who never went there... ?

our kids never played there. Which PAHL or PIHL teams used that?

We were there for a PIHL playoff game ~7-8 years ago, and literally I had to stand at the top of the rink with half my body outside the door, the exhaust stench was so bad from the zamboni used at the time. Never smelled a worse condition inside a rink than that.

Not that I am an expert on negotiation, but I do find it interesting that the new owners want some things done before completing the deal, instead of getting them quoted out and deducting those from the amount of the sale. No idea how complex fixing the air quality problem is but It's likely to be costly. There aren't any ventilation pipes or openings in the crest of the rebuilt structure, so this is going to be an interesting upgrade to complete while the ice is present. lots of lift rentals.

I'd be in favor of a system like this. That way you go where you want but you can't hop all the time.

Any news on Rostraver? Haven't heard anything in the last few weeks.

Yes, that is what I was looking for, what games are at which rink during a particular day.

Thanks for your replies!

Is there any listing on a website that you can look up and find out what PAHL or PIHL games are at a particular rink on a particular day? I'd like to go to a few random games at a few rinks near me but I don't know how to find out game times...??

Thoughts: 16 & 18 divisions look down in # of teams from just a few years ago. Huge amount of teams at 14 and 12. Girls 19u also half the # of teams from just a few years back.

Well that sucks.

If this is "100% true" I am hopeful that BB will make some BADLY needed short term repairs... Nothing but best wishes for Jim. He deserves a nice relaxing retirement. He's worked so hard on this place for many years.

Hmmm....

Everyone has their own opinion here but I've been in games where the score got north of 10-0 and it worked just fine to get the game over without making the other team look for a brawl.

Waste of time and very pointless. Also not sure why the Brooks coach didn't just go to puck possession to wind the clock instead of running up the score and show a LITTLE bit of class.

The layout of that website is ? DOUBLE YOI!!!

Nevin is pretty old too, and Armstrong.

Rumor going around today that Rostraver is/was sold to Black Bear? anyone else hear this?

Resume is hard to beat...??? The bar must be pretty low to make that statement.

One of my favorite topics! Posey! Call me surprised about this post... LOL

Holy Smokes! More than we're paying for college right now. Yikes. Around 2015 one of my kids who were playing for PPE was asked to go to SSA. Toured and loved it, but the "discounted" rate was still around $20k.

Not to defend PHA at all, but It seems to me like the # of players is perhaps declining from a peak around by2000. At 2002 we had fewer players and this just might be a continuation of that. But what do I know.

Money is destroying NCAA football... via the NIL/and transfer portal sham.
