Was kind of surprised by that. Other two programs not exactly spotlight material but seem to have improved. You can say the vengeance have improved, but if run those same numbers over 4 or 5 years instead of 2 they aren’t looking so good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were 112 teams at the U15 level last season. Traditionally more teams join the AAA level at U16. Teams that shouldn't be considered AAA. Slipped a bit? #33 to #85? That's a huge drop for Icemen even without the reason I just mentioned above. Edited November 5, 2018 by johnnyhockey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a major reason those players departed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tryouts were complete and utter joke! Half of the players quit the U18 team and now it’s made up of mostly West Allegheny kids. A lot of them 2002‘s. I’ll be surprised if they win a fifth of their games. The U16 team is also very weak. The coach cut most of the good players. Why, who knows. “Vengeance Coaches & Friends.” The 2004 is now stealing a goalie from the renegades top bantam team. Didn’t want him at tryouts, but wants him now. Biggest joke in Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh Vengeance. ... ENTIRE COMMENT STRUCK BY MODERATOR ...

sadday4hockey Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 All the trash-talking about the 16U team and yet they beat the Icemen top team 4-2 on Saturday. Maybe, just maybe they took the right players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheUnknown Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 sounds like the Icemen couldn't stop pucks from hitting the back of their net either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PuckHead7 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Congratulations to the Vengeance U16 team. Well coached or their goalie was really on his game that day? Let’s just say, the mouse luckily gets the cheese from the pesky trap sometimes. If played, the Icemen would beat the Vengeance handedly 8/10 times. Question, was the 4th goal an empty net? What were the SOG? What were penalties like? U16 is definitely improving. What about the U18? 10 from dead last. Puts them at 100ish on Tier II.

johnnyhockey Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) I'm sure they took the right kids but defeating the 87th ranked Icemen isn't really something to hang your hat on. Edited December 20, 2018 by johnnyhockey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply pointed out that they were being trashed all year and that maybe their roster decisions weren't horrible. 8/10, I doubt it. Maybe 6. Shots on goal can be misleading and the last time I checked they count EN goals. But hey, you sure are enjoying those sour grapes aren't you? Maybe I'll watch the game today on Livebarn and get all the answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do however know most of the families of both teams. Vengeance got lucky and Icemen made huge mistakes. In the end, still don’t really care.
