May 29, 20242 yr I would assume Vengeance and "Pitt Stars" will both be mediocre AA teams at best. I'm sure most of the players will be miserable throughout the season, but atleast they got the extra A.

I can’t imagine how much their dues will go up at Stars without the Esmark sponsorship plus having to buy all new jerseys, gloves, bags, shells, etc.

No sense keeping the name if they aren't giving any money.
July 22, 20242 yr Important question-did Yuri follow through and bring Russian 09s to the new esmark team? Rumor has it that he’s poaching from Badgers AA

Rumor has it that he’s poaching from Badgers AA Maybe he plans to bring them in around mid-December. Then he can cut his bottom players and leave them scrambling to find a home over Christmas. He's done more than once in the past.

July 22, 20242 yr And I believe this year if you switch rosters in December you will not be eligible for pahl playoffs

August 5, 20242 yr any truth to vengeance having an 09AAA team with A Major Goalie and mostly Icemen 09 second team from last year that was A Major Black
August 6, 20242 yr 1 hour ago, Hockey00 said: any truth to vengeance having an 09AAA team with A Major Goalie and mostly Icemen 09 second team from last year that was A Major Black I think that might be the vengeance AA (Tier 2) team but I could be wrong. I don't think they are doing a tier 1 team. Vengeance now being all the SCIR teams. I also don't know if they are all doing PAHL or THF/AHF
August 6, 20242 yr Yes there is a 2009 Veng AAA team. Can’t speak to the roster, but they are scheduled to play in MI later this month in a AAA tourney.

August 6, 20242 yr 11 hours ago, Hockey00 said: any truth to vengeance having an 09AAA team with A Major Goalie and mostly Icemen 09 second team from last year that was A Major Black It appears they have three goalies. They must be expecting to get a lot of action if their players are all Icemen cast offs.

I believe the roster is available for Vengeance on their site... I'm not sure what the quality of play will be, but it appears they are going to be "AAA" at this point.

He'd be fine playing on any 09 AA team and probably most of the AAA ones around here. As I've said before, most teams around here have kids that can play at the next step up, and for a lot of different reasons not all of them do.
