If PIHO was such a terrible org run by such terrible people, what does that say about the folks who continued to entrust them and pay them on behalf of their members? Just funny to me. They had already lost Allegheny and were poised to lose more. A possible reason for their Operation Shutdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves Puck Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Someone needs to resurrect WPHOA and pretty dam fast. Otherwise the next largest scheduling regime will follow the same steps as PIHO. Arrogant and condescending, good ole boy network. Every business needs competition and a competing NON-Profit is even better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression it had many of the same issues, taking a while to pay the officials, not scheduling appropriately, etc.? Might just be that it's too hard to run an organization that big and we might be better off just having local schedulers everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the same scheduling group that is owned by the president of PAHL? There is a whole bunch of conflicting interests going on in this sentence alone ^^^.

TheRightCall Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Sounds like the PIHL might be taking on official scheduling in house, this is something they used to do I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think they will have an appointed scheduler or have teams do it independently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would need to have an appointed scheduler for sure, independently by teams would be interesting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazedandconfused Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Regardless of what they do, they are definitely looking at a difficult season at PIHL. Losing John Mucha was a huge hit to their structure as he was involved in every aspect. The new commissioner is just that, new. And incredibly inexperienced in the sport which may or may not be a good thing. In addition, other long-time members are also stepping down this year which will make things even more difficult. Hopefully everyone can get up to speed quickly and things will run smoothly but it's definitely cause for concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyisgreat Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) Sometimes change is a good thing. Don't like how it happened but some new ideas might be good for PIHL! Edited June 26, 2023 by hockeyisgreat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazedandconfused Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Just think how many people say that in an average year when it comes to organizations and the grass being greener. 50% or more are disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
