Ihearthockey Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Wasn't PPE basically telling all kids/parents in the program that they are going to start importing players and "thanks for playing"? This doesn't surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the only way some of their kids make the teams.

To avoid any "conflict of interest" yes there are dad coaches at PPE, however they do not coach their own kids and are assigned to other PPE teams........like that matters. Something tells me the sons of coaches have their golden ticket. https://www.pittsburghpenguinselite.com/news_article/show/1144351 Edited March 29, 2022 by fafa fohi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them may coach other teams but a lot of them still coach their kids too. It happened at the 07, 08 and 09 level at least. Whether head or assistant coaches. The deal with the Pens if you coach your kid is you don't get paid, which is why most of them coach a 2nd team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - the goalie son is an 09 and he is listed as 09 coach. Edwards also head coached his own son and it is apparent on the girls side as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Racki Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Several head coaches at PPE have had their sons on their team. They are all very qualified good coaches. I don't really know about the 09 coach you are talking about but the current 2007 head , Edwards, and Mooney have all been head coaches and coached their kids team. They all did great jobs developing all the players and are more than qualified. Again, not sure on the 09 situation but who wouldn't want Mooney to coach their team and his son on it. It is usually just for a year or two. I guess you could hire a less qualified jamoke with no kids but that seems stupid to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are so great and developed ALL the kids, why did ppe cut 80% of the kids they coached? They are either not so good or ppe is corrupt by your reasoning. Since they went 0-3 against a team of 6 kids they cut....... well, that could tell you the answer Edited March 29, 2022 by Whoosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my question. Paying 10K- 35K for the "best development" but the kids who start rarely if ever finish at Pens (except relatives of coaches and a couple rare exceptional athletes). What does that say about their development model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they went 0-3 against a team of 6 kids they cut....... well, that could tell you the answer Yep, they cut them but they also developed them. I am not saying the organization makes the best decision but at the squirt and pee wee level they do a pretty good job of developing kids skating/skills and are all very good/qualified coaches. Not arguing that some kids get cut that should not and other make teams that probably shouldn't. As you said the team that beat the Pens 3-0 had a lot of kids Pens developed. Glad to see they went elsewhere and pushed themselves to beat those teams. That show great character and will do them well in life. Personally, I would never be a third or fourth line player, pay for North Catholic, pay for Excel and Pens Elite. It seems insane to me also.

Carl Racki Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Ps. You can only get some much out of players. If that were not the case everyone would go to Sid and Mc David's coaches and end up just like them. That is why I warn parents about over doing it or just wasting money but everyone always says on this board "it's their money so what do you care".

So he's now on Pens 09? Crazy how much these goalies all move around what seems like every single year. Edited March 30, 2022 by RJUSHL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Preds had two goalies? Looking at their scores it looks like goaltending carried them a lot too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
