SDIA applied to drop from AA to A...however, after releasing all the kids and re-signing them at A, CAHA and/or SCAHA has now reversed their initial decision and denied the request.


I'm not sure why this decision was overturned but I predict a very long AA season for SDIA.


Can anyone explain the rationale behind refusing a team from dropping?


The team went 0-4-2 against other AA teams.  They had 7 goals in those 6 games.  Hard to have a winning record when your GF is 1.2


The only win was against the Jr. Gulls team that already dropped to A and it was only 5-2.


Unbelievable...

If you want to run Tier 1 AAA teams, you need a AA team.

SDIA has no tier 1 AAA teams

Disregard, I was thinking of the Gulls program.

[MO-ICETIME]

is it me or is there now a game scheduled between the Wildcats and Gulls2 set for 10/1? was that always there? was their drop to A approved or denied?

[area51]

I'm guessing it's just a Peewee A preseason game for them. They are listed in Peewee A regular season standings and not Peewee AA. Probably just easier for SCAHA to schedule the game this way. SDIA has already been added back to the Peewee AA regular season standings.

AA schedule has added a game this weekend between OC and SDIA....

Just heard that the 06 Ducklings played the AAA 05 Ducks to a 4-2 loss...did anyone see it?? Wondering how it was that close. Did Sandy's team have their full roster?

I was able to catch part of the scrimmage towards the end but a parent told me it was 5-2. Not sure about the entire AAA roster but their top dogs were there and both teams looked solid. The 06's looked pretty good and hung in there fairly well.

Heard the 04 AAA Ducks beat the 05 AAA Ducks 11-2 this past weekend.

[Fowlmood]

I thought it was 4-2.

I thought it was 4-2.

Only going by what a mom told me... The scrimmage was held with the scoreboard/clock turned off with no refs IIRC (not sure if the scoreboard was broken or not)

Any word on the OCH/SDIA game?  Heard that a lot of the SDIA parents were understandably irate, and some were saying they would be leaving the team to look for other options.  SDIA looks to have put up a solid effort against OCH, losing 1-3.  Did SDIA folks retrench, or are they now down some players?

Don't know about any internal issues with SDIA parents or club, but vs OCHC, SDIA played a solid game in my opinion. OC wasn't at their best but had their chances but SDIA goalie played well and kept them in the game. IMO SDIA should stay in PWAA and although they may not challenge for division supremacy, I think they will compete and they do belong. If they move down to A, they would kill a lot of teams down there.

Score was 6 to 2, with EK as ref. This was a scrimmage with offsides rarely called and hitting allowed. The 06 team played hard. 05 team was physically exhausted from 3 hour practice and dry land earlier in the day. Wouldn't say the score/game was necessarily a true reflection of either team. No kids missing but HC was.
