Bantam AA 16/17

[Crash]

As for a Ducks - Steelheads final, that's great for me to post on the dressing room wall. Save your money for the slots, lads.

[Panther Coach]

I can verify what Coach Bombay said, Bears were back east. Perhaps they forfeited the scheduled game? I don't know, I'm just saying if it wasn't re-skedded that might be what happened.

I hope they rescheduled as you can't forfeit this year and still be eligible for playdowns. Also has to be rescheduled before the date to be played not necessary played before the date originally scheduled

[Crash]

Thanks for the helpful clarification.




By the way, AA Bears beat AA OCHC  5-0 to win the Aliso-Viejo / Lake Florist Tournament. I'd like to think that OC were exhausted after playing Wave 3 last night :-)

[BlindZebras]

By the looks of it, OC 1 had a rough tourney overall.  Yes they went 4-1, but all 4 wins came against predominantly 03 squads and were relatively close games: 4-2 vs. JK, 4-2 vs. Wave AA (with an empty-netter), 3-0 vs. Wave A, and 2-1 vs. Wave A.  Then to get beaten soundly by Da Bears 5-0.  Wave AA almost beat the Bears in that semi final, too.  I realize that March is a ways off, and there's a lot of hockey to be played between now and then, but play downs should prove to be interesting if the younger teams continue to improve at their current rate. (Too bad Crash and the Wave A won't be invited to that party...)

[Crash]

BlindZebra - we may not be invited to the party, but we may well "crash" it.


Our boys are really, really adaptive. Yeah we lost 3-0 to OC Saturday afternoon. Just a few hours later, with no practice, just verbal adjustments by Coach, we damn near beat them. It was 1-1 with 22 seconds left. Next time we will beat them.


So save your change for the slots. Don't bet against Wave 3.

[BlindZebras]

Sorry Crash, your boys aren't on the parlay card so I couldn't bet on them if I wanted to.  Winning the SCAHA Bantam A banner still won't get you a ticket into the AA dance.  Should you guys be there?  Probably.  But that still won't change the reality.  Please don't let that stop you from posting about "if only's" and "what if's".  Besides the OC1 vs. JD1 rivalry, and the gift of the Bears vs. JK gong show, your posts are likely the only thing keeping this Bantam board alive. Cheers! 

[Crash]

Thanks!


It's true we can't play AA Playoffs. I think that was true before we even got demoted.


Just want to do everything possible to embarrass the powers that be. :-)


As for this board, it's not designed to encourage actual participation, bizarre as that sounds. Cheers.

[bandicoot]

Haven't been on Calhockey in a long time.  What Bantam AA tournys are going on for Dec.  My son is looking to play.  Not rostered on any travel team.  Hoping to stay local (SoCal).  Can anyone help with information on what teams are playing where?  Thank you in advance to those who help us out.

Wave 3 and Kings AA and a Ducks team are in Vegas for the Silver Stink Dec 9-11. Wave 3 are in Minnesota in mid January.

[BlindZebras]

Whoa.  Blackhawks beat both OC1 and JD1 this weekend.  WTF???

[Pistonkev]

Whoa.  Blackhawks beat both OC1 and JD1 this weekend.  WTF???

I watched the OC game Blackhawks are big and skilled. I also saw the first period of Sharks 1 vs Simi. Simi was only down 1-0 after one period not sure what the final was.

Whoa.  Blackhawks beat both OC1 and JD1 this weekend.  WTF???

Just looking at Blackhawks scores:

3-0 over JK
2-0 over OC1
1-0 over JD1


A good team, and win is a win, but only 3 goals over those Jr. Kings who Crash claims:

"A" is where 90% of their players belong.

0-3 doesn't seem like such a tough loss for an "Bantam A" team against one of the strongest teams in AA.

The JK are not anywhere near those teams not sure how that was only 3-0
