Weekends are not for HS hockey

Have you ever been to these events ? ...........Keep drinkin the Kool Aid and mind your own National Bound Business !

Pittsburgh 31 Years

Jamestown 21 years

Notre Dame 11 Years

Ohio 24 Years

I mainly just find it odd that you push all these good local tier 2 youth programs, then you also promote these goofy HS tournaments.

I agree the local top end tier 2 is a better option than the faux AAA in many cases, but don't step on their toes by hosting HS tournaments while these tier 2 teams are likely playing games.

You would think that if the PIHL wanted to be taken seriously, they'd limit these weekend tournaments too. Some HS teams are playing 40-50 games. Some are barely playing 20.
