hockey07 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Heard numbers were high at Wildcats, high birth year numbers at aha, low at wha, low BY numbers at Scir, low 18u as usual many places 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots going on this week - SCIR, Vengeance, PPE, NP particularly for 06 BY. I also heard many new faces trying out for PPE, while PPE Black players from last year trying out for Vengeance 06. Also heard 06 Icemen tryout was cancelled due to low interest level while PPE 07's had a significant amount of turn on their roster this past tryout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackice Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Big changes for the cursed SCIR 07 BY team- it’s gone. Replaced by a Vengeance 07 AAA team that took the top SCIR skaters but also pulled in a number of PE kids and a coach. Efforts to put together the SCIR 07 team with the kids that didn’t make Vengeance fell apart when 10 kids declined spots. Good news for Viper Stars, Huskies, Badgers, and other programs. The SCIR PW Navy mixed year team should be strong again as well. After having two teams in PAHL Peewee AA this season (the 07s shouldn’t have been there but that’s another story), SCIR will likely have no AA PW teams in the fall.

HSFBLJ Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 The usual, can't beleive they took this kid. Coaches picking the team before tryouts. No one wants to play for a dad coach. Money grab. Polical decisions. Same story different year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked the SCIR website and it states they formed two 07 BY year teams. Are you saying both teams now do not exist due to Vengeance / kids declining? If that is the case what a mess.........the least they could do is remove results of the tryouts and them claiming to have two BY teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fafa fohi Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) With PPE and NP completing their 05/06 tryouts, anyone have info on the tryout numbers for Vengeance / SCIR as their tryouts began this past week? Any truth to the rumor of kids that made PPE Black turning down their spots for a shot to make Vengeance? Will the Renegades 06 BY team be strong or diluted because of Vengeance?

sadday4hockey Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 What's the obsession with Harmar organizations? Do you realize that they're both basically one and the same? Just like NHAHA rosters Esmark and BV rosters Icemen so does SCIR roster Vengeance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your question is directed at me I was only inquiring - no obsession. And no, they are not one and the same as it is my understanding Vengeance 06 will be a higher level than SCIR 06 AA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fafa fohi Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I know players that were on last years SCIR 06 team are now trying out for Vengeance 06. That is a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAhockey Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Esmark announced tryout results what were the numbers like for u15 and u16 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazedandconfused Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Low compared to their usual turnout but they'll field teams. The 05 folded up although the website lists tryouts as completed. It should say complete joke, just as the alleged 06 tryout tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) The 18uAA tryouts that we went to, went well. The team was not "pre-picked..." but we pretty much could guess most of the players who would make the team based on how the 2 day tryout went. The big surprise was a lot of players from Esmark and Vengeance showed up. 19 players in total picked for the team, all 19 accepted. Only tried out one place. Easy on the pocket book this year LOL.

dazedandconfused Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Where did this take place? It's good to hear because 18 is always so difficult to get committed players who will actually commit to a team without playing games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of talent all around, was very surprised at the turnout. Didn't see that one coming. I did hear that the Vengeance isn't fielding an AAA 18u team, and it looks like some of the Esmark parents (and players) maybe finally had enough(???). So thus the pickup in # of tryouts...

dazedandconfused Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Nice. The former hierarchy there always used to say that they'll always come back at Midgets. Maybe that mentality is starting to hold true again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bender05 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 So is Vengeance only fielding a u16 team? Heard there weren’t enough for u15 eirher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By players, coaches, organizations, etc. Less of them and every club wants to have a good team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HereWithPopcorn Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Not getting the rationale by MLHA having 04 and 05 tryouts over MidAm Select Camp weekend, and then selecting a full 2005 roster while there could be cast-offs from the 05 AAA Preds going on right now. Could leave a few quality players out there looking for a home by the end of this week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense in theory, but hard to believe players who are invited to MidAms would not have locked up their spot on their desired team by this point in time. Even if that meant the player were missing one of the Tryout sessions that an organization had scheduled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
