Riverside should never be allowed to host a CAHA event, especially at the Bantam and Midget ages. The facility is NOT acceptable in any way.
Why you ask?
The rinks are not regulation or even close to it.
The bleachers are pathetic and off-center with obstructions everywhere you look.
The locker rooms ARE TOO SMALL - YOU CAN ONLY FIT 2 LINES OF PLAYERS IN THERE AND THE GOALIES HAVE TO GET DRESSED IN THE HALLWAY!
There is a snack shack, and nothing to DRINK. BYOB, I guess.
The players hear BUZZERS AND WHISTLES being blown on both rinks and players get very confused initially (someone could get hurt).
I could go on. The facility is a dump (no wonder it's a "LA Kings Icetown" brand. All those rinks are dumps). CAHA and someone in charge should be embarrassed. Sure, maybe PW, squirts, and the ADM all-american MITES (if I hear about their ADM program one more time from USA Hockey....) can play there, but that's about it.
Alternatives you ask? Oh, I don't know, why not serve the 2-3 clubs in San Diego and let Escondido host. I mean, it is just like sending 15 SCAHA teams to NorCal to serve the 2-3 clubs up there. No one needs to "meet in the middle" if we are all traveling somewhere.
