dazedandconfused Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Right, and that's fantastic. However, the skepticism here is still very high that any USHL teams was recruiting this player who would be coming in as 20 year. Very, very high. Same for NAHL.

Icebucket Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 We all get that he had a good season, and great for him. But it's most certainly not a position any USHL team would even consider exploring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never say Never................Mike Sargo who scored over 300 points at WVU, 100 Goals in Class AAA at Gateway and is in the ACHA Hall of Fame was given an opportunity to skate with AHL Wilke Barre Scranton Penguins .............kids that do exceptional things get opportunity against the norm ..............It happened !

He had some unbelievable stats (averaging 5 goals a game his senior year?!) in high school and really good numbers in ACHA, and seems to be a good guy. Yet, dude still didn't get further than an AHL training camp. Further proof that little Johnny averaging a PPG in PAHL AA or the local faux-AAA team should just be concentrating on having a good time playing with his friends while it lasts.

Pa Hockey Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Another echo of my point about Pitt and IUP Nationally. Pitt got swept by Davenport and IUP split with Delaware. Both are in the 12 -25 Wannabee Category and frankly are where they are in the rankings. Pitt will likely drop from their 12th position. IUP doesn't deserve to be in top 20.

Your larger point is correct but the hockey environment was very different back then. I don't think you can take any player stats from that era and compare it to what someone is doing today. Also even local kids who made the NHL didn't have those high school stats. There is a lot of context missing from that in a bubble. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umberger and Zeiler (Both NHLers) both had around 100 points in HS Season in the same era, but 100 Goals was unreal and the great thing is the powers to be kept Sargo off Team Pittsburgh, which is an absolute joke! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike was a fantastic goal scorer but there were some better all around players from here at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUP doesn't deserve to be in top 20. Davenport and Delaware imo are not even in that 12-25 crowd. They are 30 and below - Look like everyone else tier. Delaware appears to have pretty weak goaltending. The coaches top 25 rankings that came out last week I posted didn’t have one chma team in it. I just watched part of the iup stream that’s still up. How many coaches do they have now? looked like 5 or 6 guys on the bench at one point. I just read who the team manger is (last year anyway) - is this guy still the president of the armstrong’s pihl & Pahl programs? He fits perfect with the party school ranking. The 30 minutes I watched was pretty bad hockey on both sides. Edited October 16, 2023 by Danner27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitt has a pretty good Program and will compete for the league title again. My point is they are top 10 Wannabees. It's all about recruiting locally and regionally as putting a solid group together of 26-27. SRU was well on their way until that got derailed, but the best these local schools can hope for is top 15 National Ranking based on their current model and schedule .

What is the team average GPA and what are the jobs graduates are now in, that is the only stats that will matter after their 4 years 🤷😁 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between race riots, drugs, terrible acedmic rankings, kids dying etc wtf is going on? Number 1 party school in the country - bottom 25% for acedmics. Extremely dissapointing. https://www.wpxi.com/news/local/indiana-university-pennsylvania-ranked-no-1-party-school-by-national-publication/VPAH77BYCNBTJLXHXHDIBLFRJM/?utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR2skrbOeJ5zDmuQYDSldHkelQzzuhUuLbDnRmbQKr-i4qt_NQO9Ep3kTUc_aem_AeYaoFzc7hUkCiut5zgah0nqaNvBeVt9jdol0VGfT4Fuk6UeL4vU-RRXFIZu3bAR3wg&mibextid=Zxz2cZ It appears both hockey teams partied to much this week. Both with embarrassing losses to bad teams this weekend. The hits keep coming in Indiana smfh - shots fired on Philadelphia St. Possible dead student. don’t know what’s accurate yet. IUP Just had people killed at a home coming party recently. Race riot again last weekend. So dissapointed in my Alma. Don’t send your kids there. That entire town needs an enema at this point, same goes for the school president & admin. Edited December 15, 2023 by Danner27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyisgreat Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Bummer! What's the major cause of all this? Did the requirements to get in go down? Do they accept anyone? What's it going to take to get them back on the right path? Has anyone heard any more about Slippery Rock trying to bring back their ACHA program?

A long time ago (15+ years ago), I had a conversation with IUP's coach about how he'd get a kid to apply the week before classes start and he'd get in. With the declining enrollment at IUP, I doubt the standards have increased. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
