We didn’t send 14 years olds off to war, calm down Karen. Do you want to see a 14 year old get his head smashed in the boards, possibly breaking his neck because a bad skater who is tired couldn’t stop in time ? Remember this game is played on ice, players reactions are not instant results. Most of the bad injuries I’ve seen during my time have resulted from tired players.

Are you confusing me with someone else? I'm not advocating for 5 on 5 with 9 skaters. I'm a safety first guy. I was simply comparing the sacrifice of not having as much fun as we used to (for a little while) with the sacrifices of other generations.

I know part of the proposal is to switch players at a half time of some sort. That’s just an excuse to keep players paying. In the end it’s all the same and not hockey, it’s summer league. Don't forget penalties as well. Kids would get exhausted with 9 skaters. And isn't there still icing on the penalty kill for the younger kids?

PeterThePuck Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 1. Play 9 players and 1 goalie, 2 halves a break in the middle so each halve has different players. 2. Postpone the season to 1-1-21 and play 10 games if that happens. PIHL same thing no State Championship this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure glad my grandkids are playing independent schedules this year. We will be out of this state a lot. Lets hope something different happens come 1-1-21.

Sure glad my grandkids are playing independent schedules this year. We will be out of this state a lot. Lets hope something different happens come 1-1-21. I'm thinking that we will figure this out. We will survive this and look back and find some positives. Youth sports play an important part in preparing kids for their life as adults. This includes constantly adjusting to the times. I am OK with weird hockey or no hockey for a while. I know that I may be in the minority because my kids are the kids that a few parents probably wish weren't on their team. They are often the ones that you don't want out there on that last crucial shift of the game. As a result, they channel most of there energy toward other activities. We won't miss the traditional form of hockey quite as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fafa fohi Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) Let's make it easy and mirror inline rules. No offsides, no icing, no checking and to play it safe, roll lines of three but why end there? Let's have a buzzer every minute so players will know when to change.

BeaverFalls Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 At this point I’m more concerned with being allowed to watch games than the style of hockey. I just enjoy watching my son play. It’s the highlight of my days. Rather watch him win or lose than any pro. Really not fond of driving 2-3 hours for the outlying pahl games just to sit in the parking lot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) Here are the docs from today's conference call. What I am hearing is that the NP Wildcats and Baierl rink are causing most of the problems and the push towards this stupidity, because they have limits at their rink. As far as I'm concerned they can FO and play their games somewhere else or not at all. Not sure how we're going to proceed this fall. This may cause a lot of kids to quit as not sure the money is worth it. What do you do, put your worst bunch out first and the best bunch out for the second half? Am I a little hot over this? You bet I am. One more year of this BS and I'm done with the PAHL!!!!!

I found it odd how late NP tryouts were held, makes some sense now. So one Pahl club along with their rink is going to screw it over for everyone else. Makes sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone will have to address that... an anonymous tip came to me that NP due to Baierl limits is complaining the loudest that they have a 25 limit and therefore so should everyone else thereby pushing their views on everyone else. So why is it that ONE out of all the orgs bitches and moans and the PAHL acquiesces to them and makes everyone suffer??? If someone who is more a direct party to this all would post more details, that would be great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinlan2020 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 But 25 is the state limit, not just NP. Am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forbin Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Seems like there's a handful of orgs that are echoing NP. Happy to see that the org my kid plays for shares my point of view of wanting this to go as "normal" as possible. Also I really LOVED what the rep from the Aviators wrote. That just makes so much sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go by that rule, arenas with more than one sheet would have to shut down the second. After all it is under one roof. It's all people trying to flex and be in charge of other people's lives. I hope the people pushing this issue go broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeaverFalls Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Anything over 25 people on the ice or arena will be a pipe dream. It’ll get reported and shut down ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazedandconfused Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I would not forget about Baierl and NP's neighbor down the street, they won't let any teams play so I would bet their voice echoed quite loudly at Mr. Paul Day's house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
