Midget Hockey / Re: 18AA/AAA 2023-24
« Last post by lcadad on September 01, 2023, 10:06:26 AM »
They are trying to keep midgets from leaving CA....  So they handed out 10 AAA teams at 18U.
No one wanted em.  Couldn't field a team.  No where near enough to go around for that many 18U AAA.  CAHA and the entire board is a Rosegarden of trash.


About 4 years late, and many dollars short on that idea.  Not been following the CAHA board in recent years, but doesn't look like there's been much change going on a decade.

Haven't visited here in a few years, because, like so many others, we sought out greener pastures.  Perhaps this is the "success" CAHA wanted: getting that USA Hockey affiliate fee based on local address, for kids who are no longer living and playing in California.

Bantam Hockey / Any Predictions?
« Last post by B-Real on August 31, 2023, 12:17:19 PM »
Any Predictions for the new season? There was a lot of movement over the Summer.
Plenty of Double A talent playing 3rd line Triple A hockey.
How good will the competition be?
Seems to be a lot of 09/10 mixed teams.

I was at the Empire/Ducks game... here are a few corrections:


The score was 4-1 going into the 3rd period (note: the Ducks scored with 30-seconds left in the 2nd).  I agree that putting 20 on them is a major stretch.  There were two crossbars/posts by Empire and six or so one-on-zero break-aways that the Empire didn't score on.  By that same token there were two one-on-zero breakaways the Ducks could have easily scored on, but didn't.


Also this was the Empire's 4th scrimmage (including in-house scrimmages vs. Empire 18UAA and Empire 14UAA).  The only other scrimmage was against the Bears 16UAAA which they did, in fact, lose 2-5.  That's the 16UAAA Bears, not AA.


But I agree... its WAY too early to be talking about front-runners.  The Kings always put together solid teams, the Wave are perennial contenders, OCHC has an 08 core that won States last year, and GSE is always at the forefront.  It's going to be an exciting season.  Can't wait for it to officially begin!

Were you at the Empire vs Ducks 1 Scrimmage? It doesn't  sound like you were. I did attend since my son played in the game before and it was not exactly as you described.
The score was 2 to 1 Empire leading going into the 3rd period. The Ducks made a goalie change then things went south and the kids gave up. I believe your comment about putting 20 on them was very inaccurate. I was also told that it was Empire's 14th scrimmage and the Ducks first. Just putting that out there.


On another note, Jr. Kings beat the Pats 9 to 2 last week and Empire lost to the Bears 5 to 2 the week before. Not sure if you can really figure out front runners yet.
Goldrush lost all 17 of their 07 players that should have been returning and are still trying to pick up the pieces and meet roster requirements so I have heard.

Empire looks like team to beat. Solid
Goaltending, well coached and depth.

Empire walloped Ducks1(?) 9-1 and it wasn’t even that close, they could have put 20 on them. So there’s that

As 16AA prepares for the (required) Labor Day Weekend, who is/are the Teams to beat? Who are the Bottom? Who sees their Season end in September/October?

There are two unbreakable truths in this world


1) Actors never move to Detroit to become a movie star
2) Hockey players never move to Hollywood to make in the NHL


No amount of money or new ideas are going to change that equation.    Lesson is focus on what you got, and be great at it, and stop wishing for what you are not.
