Well, a quiet weekend to start my new blog. We ended up not playing Nevada Storm (AA), they played AA Kings twice instead, splitting the games.
Sunday morning W3 beat Ducks2 12-2, shots were 66-12, though a few of us counted Ducks shot at 5. It was an entertaining game, Ducks battled the whole time and capitalized on our defensive breakdowns.
The scores and shots differentials in the A games we play notwithstanding, there are some fine young goalies in A, and seeing shots off 2nd, 3rd, 4th rebounds will do nothing but help them learn their craft.
What A teams are often missing is D who can actually impact the front of the net by a) clearing out one or even two attackers and b) solidly getting the puck on their sticks before they try to clear it or make a breakout pass. Secondly, the wingers have to be open to receiving a breakout pass, that is: still inside their zone, hockey position, stick on the ice and in MOTION.
Not many D at this age can make a long hard accurate stretch pass to the neutral zone without it getting picked off. Also teams in defense mode at this age need to think more about weak side. Us too. There is often a play to be made there, but we still try and jam the puck up the wall into a crowd. Why I don't know.
Thanksgiving this weekend. Aliso Viejo AA Tournament. Good luck to everyone.

"They", as in the Storm played the Kings?
-
Unofficial scrimmage x 2 as we lost our ice.
Morning 4-2 Storm
Afternon 2-1 Kings

What this jack ass forgets to mention in the last seconds of the game, the Wave player laid a questionable hit on a Duck in open ice near the wave bench and then as he gets up the kid takes a bow in front of his bench to his team mates and the Duck player lays on the ice in pain.

Don't worry WCHP, Big brother Duck will take care of those Wave rats in Vegas. Payback!

......I dont usually say much on here.. but come on. Attacking the kid.. no matter how wrong he was.. is not cool. If I knew that was my kid.. and you said that about him.. we would have some serious issues outside of this arena. No need for that.. in my opinion. Just sayin.
-
Agreed, modified my post,
but still no right for what he did, even if was a accidental hit, you don't be so blatant about it
-
another great example of why the wave 03s are playing in the right division. someone pulls that at a Tier game and CAHA will be busy dealing with the numerous suspensions. and the poor wave 03s might not be able to finish the game as they will run out of players...
-
Wow. Okay, here we go.
1. The Duck came over the blue line with his head down.
2. The hit was CLEAN. No penalty was assessed.
3. It WAS inappropriate, given the score and that there were like, 30 seconds left in the game. I expressed same privately and enquired as to the boy's condition.
4. It's Bantam now ladies. The boys need to know that.
5. As for the Big Ducks, yes, that's who we should and want to be playing after beating your little Ducklings 9-1 and 12-2 (good goalies on both teams). BUT the BIG QUACKERS refuse to scrimmage us. As in Declined. Even back in August they refused.
So yes, let's hope we meet in Vegas. Though as always in Travel hockey it's really dumb to go somewhere far to play a local team.
-
addenda to Goon Hockey - I'm sure the irony of your handle is lost on you. If you don't know the difference between a clean hit, and a dirty hit, then I think you should recuse yourself from commenting on that topic, because you're not qualified.
In fact, I think you're a wanna be 'soccer mom'. That's the worst insult I can think of without more coffee.
-
it's comical that almost every one of your posts crash call out other teams for "dirty" hits but your little gretzkys hit "clean". merely pointing out that dirty vs clean is a relative statement and varies from parent to parent and team to team. hope your coach brings extra ice packs to vegas, or you might not finish the weekend...

Dude! for the last time, we are not going to vegas to play the wave 3. we are going because we want to have a chance go to detriot to face high end BANTAM AA teams
-
You are proving my point, that you don't know the difference between a clear hit and a dirty one. You can watch video and learn.
As for Vegas, we beat the AA Black Hawks in the most physical kids' game i have ever seen. They were so dirty (not the coaches fault, he was trying to dial them down) that Tide called after the first period wanting to sponsor them.
For the record, my son is not a 'little Gretzy". Gretzy whined too much.
His favorite players are PK Subban and Andre Markov. His coach wants watching Roman Jossi.
-
... Coach Bombay... which won't happen if you can't even beat a little Bantam A team, right? Which is why you won't play us.
-
Crash. You got nads to start a Wave 3 only thread, but then again its the first thread I go to for must read-calhockey info.
I haven't seen any Bantam A games, but I would assume you guys are at the very top. Also, a legit and solid Bantam AA.
-
wow. a friendly post. Thanks!
I only started doing this because a lot of mis-information was floating around about WAVE3, and like with anything, if it is not challenged then it becomes dogma. That's all.
Just got our Vegas schedule. We're playing LA KINGS AA, whose rink is 20 min from my house - in Vegas. SoCal hockey. Gotta love it.

Who else did you draw?
-
We drew as follows (and if we'd drawn King AND Ducks for Vegas... well.. you might have seen some new words on here). Maybe we'll get lucky and meet Duckies in playoffs. :-)

Jr. Kings: Friday 7:45pm
Idaho Jr Steelheads: Saturday 10:15am
Semi - Finals: Saturday Night
Consolations: Sunday Morning

Not too bad is the AZ team the 03 team or 02. Steal heads are really strong.
-
I don't know if AZ is 02 or 03. I'll ask coach on the weekend and post.
-
The game vs Ducks 1 was very onesided... not only on the scoresheet... not 1 penalty called on Wave... several extra hits and punches behind the play, on both sides. The hit in question was not late or anything but it was high under the chin... and the bow went a bit far... but again, not 1 penalty called on wave, but a couple of slashes and trips called on Ducks.
-
Thanksgiving so far. Pretty clean not much controversy so far :-(
Game 1: Wave 3 4 OCHC 2 2
Game 2: Wave 3 4 Jr. Kings AA 0 (shots 32 - 18) standout performance by Kings' Goalie.
Game 3: Wave 3 __ OCHC 1__ 10:30 AM obviously this will tell the tale. Tune in later!

JK was depleted squad, and played one of the worst games of the season. OC1 beats Wave pretty easily
-
Obviously you missed the night OC > WAVE 3 game.
OC was lucky to win last night.

Okay, after much distraction on the Thanksgiving debacle, I'm back on our main thread.
Back to actual hockey.
Sat. Wave 3 v AA Kings scrimmage. Maybe they won't start their goalie.
Sun. Wave 3 v Oilers A.
Keep everybody loose and warm up for Vegas.
The larger issue is apparently we are having a parent / team scrimmage at year end. I hung em up two years ago due to, finally, too many nagging injuries which take too long to heal. Hitting my head a couple of times on the ice probably helped the decision.
You want to know how to tell a 'ringer' in mens' league? Really old faded beat up hockey pants. Watch out. Now the way to tell a real ass who THINKS he's a ringer? A weird visor. Preferably with a silver tint. Put that f*cker into the boards right away and discourage him.
My biggest problem playing mens' league, aside from the usual, is that I would have some huge grudge against a guy on the 'red' team, and be excited to play them the next time, but when I'd get in the dressing room I couldn't remember which guy it actually was. Maybe it was the head shots.
But then, out on the ice, the guy would do the same dirty trick again and I would remember.
Miss it badly.
-
Okay. Weekend results.
Played horribly against Kings AA - won 6-1. I think the boys are sick of playing them.
Played well against SDIA Oilers A @ Paramount. 8-0 clean game. Oilers battled but Wave wore them down. Shots 44-11.
No drama, only what everyone knows. Paramount is an extraordinarily dangerous rink with its squared corners and places where the puck and sticks get stuck under the boards. The south west corner sometimes bounces the puck out in front of the net, reminiscent of the late Culver City rink minus the terrifying stairs up to the dressing rooms. Plus they don't turn all the lights on, to save money, I guess. It's a strange rink.
It's like playing in the back yard and your mom is yelling that it's getting dark and you can barely see the puck. Good times!
Next up Vegas baby. Load the tunes. :-)

I love reading the Crash posts!!
Crash, was curious, how do you think the mighty Wave3 would fare against Bantam AAA teams (Major or Minor)?
-
They played the Gulls 03 AAA a couple times back in the Labor Day tourney. I think they won a close game and tied.

The mighty Wave 03 team that barley beat the Bears A team 2-1 yesterday? Seems like the A teams are closing the gap.
-
Heard the shots were 3-1 wave and wave spent 2/3 of the game in the box. Coach was sick?
Any truth to that?
Where is crash ????

Shots were more like 2-1, not 3-1 and minor penalties were 3-6.. hardly 2/3 of the game. Refs called too many misconducts for sure! It was a good game to watch!

Damn, looks like all of those blowouts against the BN A teams paid off! Wave 03 went 1-4 in the Minnesota Gone Wild tourney last weekend. What happened there?

They played in an all 03 Division frankly I thought they would show a little better.

Right???

Looks like our buddy Crash only sent in the results of their win in Minnesota and no mention of their 4 losses. Proving once again how big of a clown and braggart he is.
*Edit* 1 loss is listed. Probably sent in by the other team.

Looks like they listed the scrimmages against the JK as games. Apparently one was only a 2 period scrimmage. Hmmmm

They played in a AAA 2003 division that was really, really strong. Some of the best AAA teams in the nation, this was not a AA pool.
They lost to the Gentry Galaxy who are ranked 11th in the nation for Tier 1 2003 and the Omaha Lancers ranked 52nd in the nation for 2003 AAA.
To give perspective, the current Jr Ducks 03 AAA team is currently ranked 50th in the nation and lost 5-7 to the same Sioux Falls Stampede team that the Wave team lost to in the Tourney 0-4.
I watched one of the games (Team from MN) and that team was absurdly good in every zone. I think that only makes the Wave team stronger for the future.

They are not the only team to list scrimmages. I am not going to mention any names but it rhymes with Golden Bears.

Don't know Crash and don't have a kid on that team, just wanted the facts to be known.

I have not changed my screen name. Generally I am not posting for political reasons.
Minnesota did not go so well, the reasons are known and are being addressed.
My own kid got a concussion in Minnesota and is also out with an ankle injury, which combined with a dislocated shoulder he has had a frustrating year.
As for Minnesota I think it was a good message to them about how hard you have to work when you play teams outside of California. They played much better later in the tournament, but as we all know, in these short tournaments if you lose one game you are done.
All I want to say about WAVE 3 is that it is a real challenge for kids this age to play their own game in a consistent style. The weird situation they are in, playing an A game, then an AAA game and then a AA game... it's a huge challenge which i don't think many observers appreciate, and I think the boys and their coach have done a pretty great job. Certainly achieving that consistency is not an easy thing. Even at the NHL level it's one of the biggest challenges. That's all. As you were.

Sorry to hear about your son. We joke around and tease but I would never wish anything bad on any kid. I hope he heals up fast.

Thank you for kind comments. The funniest part is he is wearing a "boot" but has to learn choreography for school musical, so he is thumping about like an elephant. No video, sadly. Have a great weekend all.
