Sorry I missed it. The Predators AAA/AA are filled with very good High School Hockey Hockey Players who are encouraged not to play High School Hockey and the majority of these kids (over 80%) will end up in ACHA M1 if they dont make DIII NCAA. And can do so after High School. ALL of these kids should be playing High School Hockey until they turn 19. And can do so with High School Friendly organizations who keep the game count under 60 Total per year (4-5 games a week) and focus on quality instead of quantity. Then players will not be burned out from running all over the country. Why are you calling them AAA/AA? That team is ranked #10 in Tier 1 and will likely go to Nationals.

Maybe they don't want to...........and the last time I checked, the U18 Preds team is a AAA team ranked in the top 15 in Tier 1. So your reference of them being AAA/AA makes no sense. At least you are consistent. Your filibustering for HS hockey is getting really old.

Your filibustering for HS hockey is getting really old. 90 % of these kids are playing both HS and Preds and paying for both and are HS Players recruited to play fpr the Preds Vengeance Armstrong IceMen Esmark Artic Foxes and routinely screwing their HS team by missing practices or games as instructed. Now that Tier 1 and Tier 2 Districts (AAA/AA) are over they are now very interested in High School Hockey for those not going to Nationals so they can get publicity ?.

Maybe you should take a poll of the Preds players to see which trip they would rather make...........West Chester for Nationals or Wheeling, WV to play a PIHL game. Or ask those U16 Allegheny players about their thoughts of traveling to beautiful So Cal for natty's. Edited March 5Mar 5 by fafa fohi

Or ask those U16 Allegheny players about their thoughts of traveling to beautiful So Cal for natty's.n Or West Chester Ice Line for Pennsylvania High School Hockey State Championships or Penguins Cup in front of 1500 people I'd say both or ALL 3 since Ive experienced both in 2016 and 2017 (Iguess 2025 as well with FC.) not to mention 1975, 1976, 1977 and 1979 Pennsylvania High School Hockey State Championships or Penguins Cup and USA Hockey Nationals with Mid State in 2018 in Green Bay . Seneca, Peters, Pine Richland, Penn Trafford, Latrobe, Hempfield, TJ + Bethel and other schools have that chance this year to do both, if they are not worn out for playing 80 - 100 Games. LOL Winning a Pennsylvania High School Hockey State Championship and Penguins Cup in front of 1000's is pretty special if you ask coaches Murovich, Zeiler, Fink, Clackson, Hanson, Winebrenner, Ferguson, BAgnato, Glock, McVay, Black and more.

Or is it your argument that he would still be having the same level of success if he had played high school hockey half the time?
