RIP Larry Koch
Happy Hockey Fan replied to Mysonisagoalie's topic in Western Pennsylvania Youth Hockey
I was just thinking about him the other day, great guy. Condolences to his family! I am thankful to have him as a coach and mentor. -
Right now I’d imagine people with enough money to get their kids out of a country at war would be looking for more opportunities to get them here. I noticed it at the 14u level on a couple local teams the last couple of years. And it seems there are a lot more Russians in the pay to play junior leagues as well.

That is a much better. And I agree you should pick the best players. No quotas for each team. But I think you are reaching to blame it on a “lib”. I am very liberal in my thinking but I agree with you. And do you even know who picked the teams? I think there are definitely mistakes with their picks. There always will be mistakes, but I see one that is glaring and don’t understand at all. have a good day!

Thanks for the info. I am very surprised that USA hockey allows this. -
So the Pens run a program that is not sanctioned by USA hockey?

Got it thanks.

Is this a Black Bear rink or should it be in another post?

I saw a couple of AA teams play Wednesday, there definitely seems to be a drop off over the last few years in that class.

For all those people that complain about any rink, if there is playable ice, keep quiet. There was a time when there were very few rinks around, and all the kids that play now wouldn’t have had the chance to play without all the rinks we have now. Ice is ice. It gives kids a chance to play. If a rink is too dirty or not nice enough for you, go play golf.

You definitely seem to think that NAHL tenders have no value. But if you take the current incomplete number, and complete the number with more information, it seems that the missing data would have to be a whole lot worse than the 60% incomplete number to decrease the total to even below 50%. And 50% success rate seems to be a pretty decent number for kids making a team with a tender. But maybe you can compile the rest of the data and complete the graph to prove my theory wrong.
