I'm speaking from being in the room for 6 years, were you in the room? If so, you were the minority cause your little johnny didn't get what you wanted. Sit down and until you tell me you were in the room, you are going off of rumors. My son has played with many SV players over the years, and I remember talking to SV parents who were in the room over 6 years ago. I was told they had been trying to get rid of Raco, but then they won the Penguins Cup in 2018, so that kind of squashed any of their attempts for the years that followed.. I guess they finally got their wish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Racki Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 I wasn't shocked by the former SV coach being let go. If you look back at the 12 yrs he was a head coach he finished on average 5th place for the regular season. That's not a great average over 12 yrs. for an organization the size of Seneca Valley. In that same 12 year period NA finished 1st or 2nd 7 of 12 years and had 5 championship appearances. I am not shocked by them trying a different coach. I do know him and he is a great guy and really loves the game. Hopefully he can prove himself at Central now although I do think he will have to sit out their 2nd game tonight as they took 12 penalties in their first game. Hopefully he can turn that team around.

Ihearthockey Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 (edited) Wouldn't be surprised if alot of teams were missing players tonight/tomorrow. I think many have made their way to Chicago for tournaments. Edited September 5 by Ihearthockey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fafa fohi Posted September 5 Author Share Posted September 5 I was at Tuesday’s games and I saw a consistent drop off of overall talent amongst all of the teams compared to last year’s group. Is it because most of the 06’s that has been a deep age group graduated and have moved on with only a handful of them left in a sea of underclassmen?

I saw a couple of AA teams play Wednesday, there definitely seems to be a drop off over the last few years in that class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in the South hills it does seem as though there are a lot more freshmen and sophomores playing this year. That being said I also realized some coaches use this tournament to gauge the JV kids on who might be ready so it's really hard to say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stickboy Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 How many of these kids are even in shape at this point? I’d be willing to bet it being AAA is a stretch too. Especially if it includes teams of players playing Pittsburgh high school hockey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the 2018 win (on the back of maybe he best goaltender to play PIHL hockey) was good for the program at the time, it set their coaching situation back for years. Who was the goalie?
