And that is not a rumor. The gentleman behind the complex already owns hockey assets in the region. Wait, what is this about? What is going in this complex?

Flavio Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I assumed that was sarcasm? Building a brand new “complex” in the Mon Valley? Really… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Panther Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 The man is an acquaintance of mine. He obviously hasn't gone full blown public with the details. But he doesn't shy away from talking about it with friends. I will ask him if it is ok to share the details. Think big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, there is also PIA and the Belmont if you consider them North. My intent was not to start a North vs South discussion. It was to point out the volume of hockey played in the South Hills... But since you started it... 1) Lemiuex is not used by a PAHL team. 2) Alpha is 22 miles from Baierl. Do people in Harmar even consider themselves in the North Hills? 3) All four rinks in the South Hills are within 12 miles, with three of them very close to each other. 4) I like the North Hills and the South Hills and Pittsburgh in general...

Flavio Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Volume of hockey, sure. The volume of Tier 1 players… those kids aren’t in any concentrated area of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaaahockey Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 For all you people struggling to get to the YMCA or Ice Castle message me where you are coming from and I'll send you the side streets to avoid the crap traffic ? I don't know if it's just because I live here but there are about a dozen alternatives and I don't go anywhere that takes me on 19 or 88 they are pretty easy to bypass. If someone can do the same and tell me how to bypass 28 and save time I'll send you some Venmo bucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a nightmare getting to Ice Castle, Lebo, or the YMCA during peak traffic time. Maybe not to bad if you have a helicopter! Not saying don't play there but those are three rinks I hate going to for early evening games or practices during the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very easy from the west (79). From the east I can give you the side streets but whatever? Tell me how to get to alpha and New Ken (maybe worse is Allegheny Badgers out 376) at rush hour and we can call it even.

Outside of the logistics that no one can dispute- which alienate everyone east of the city… the dream destination here is a rink that’s currently converted one of their two rinks to a soccer field. Call it trolling. Get mad. Cry together. Whatever you want to do. What you won’t be doing is participating in a tier 1 program at printscape. Whether that’s a new venture or Esmark splitting ice there. It’s not happening. And that’s the BOTTOM LINE. - Flavi Sorry man. Bottom line is that Esmark just announced they were splitting ice at Printscape next season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadday4hockey Posted February 18, 2023 Author Share Posted February 18, 2023 So.... here we go again with the PPE Girls teams and their never-ending issues. The 14, 16 and 18U teams have been scrubbed from the site. They've already sent one set of Coaches packing this season and it sounds like the replacement ones are already out as well.

Can't say for certain but just from seeing him coach from a distance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if he was ever good enough to play AAA or even faux AAA, but I don't think he's running on the ice with kicker's cleats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's valuable experience when it comes to work ethic, structure, discipline, attitude, skill acquisition, what it takes to get to the next level, etc. Not to mention he knows hockey and is a good hockey coach. I'll take that over Joe Pittsburgh from Blawnox that can barely stand on skates anymore and still talks about his mediocre high school hockey career in the early 90s.

To your inquiry into his qualifications- he was a good player in his own right. He knows quite a lot about the game, is a good coach and motivator, and has had successful teams. He’s done just about as much for girls hockey in pittsburgh over the last 5 years as anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
