There are kids who can barely skate on some these teams. Yay for the watering of AA. Bro, who cares if they can skate or not. They have the extra "A", right? You don't want to play on one of the lowly "A" teams and actually be able to contribute to the team, you know? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds more like a PAHL issue to me! I sometimes think that jealousy is what motivates people to comment about the extra A's thrown out! Why else would it get so many comments on these sites?

Because it has ruined hockey and hockey development in this area. And yeah, some kids went to tryouts and got placed on a team. That's great. But if you think for a second all those teams are taking the best kids available for every position, you either have your head in the sand, are misinformed, or have a kid that is on a AA team that is there firstly because of encumbancy or another connection and secondly because of hockey. There's a lot of AA players (and some AAA as well) in this area that wouldn't even crack the first line or first d-pairing on the "lower" team. But you probably don't want to hear that.

He is a cheerleader Grandpa, claiming that he wants to learn the sport. However, he is not overly tolerant of criticism from people who have been playing or have kids playing in the system for years. His desire is to be constantly positive, which is cool. But he pounces on people who are not, which I find not cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think the only people who come on here are disgruntled about something related to their kids Hockey experiences! I'm trying not to "Pounce"! Neat word! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been on here a few years and discussed my views on hockey in this area many times. You participated in many of those threads. My opinion hasn't changed, my kids are almost aged out and I no longer care enough to engage and repeat.

So you're supposedly here to learn about hockey, however don't want to listen to and disregard people who have lived it and experienced it for years? Got it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
