Wave (Ontario) will be returning with a PW AA team for 2016 /17
-
Won't the Wave will have to decide on the 2 teams they want to field at PWAA per the CAHA guidebook...??
-
Will the Peewee AA parents at Ontario be told ahead of time that their coach likely will miss all of the CAHA weekends to be with his Bantam team? Or will both teams be equally underserved behind the bench?

I had the same question when I saw the assignments. Then I noticed they did have an asst. listed for the Bantam team -- but being as the coach's kid plays on the Bantam team -- I don't see him missing. Kind of a messed up situation for the Ontario parents. I can only hope they get it all figured out before tryouts, otherwise your going to have some unhappy parents post-loi.

Wouldn't that be something you ask the coach BEFORE you try out for that or any other team. It's not rocket science.

Where is everybody playing for Memorial Day?

Good clinic and cold beer at OC tonight. How are the rest of the spring clinics looking.

The beer selection is better than KHS, but that's not saying much ;D. About 25 kids at the OC skate with plenty for a solid PWAA team. What are the thoughts on strong PWAA teams next season? The Artesia Wave team should do pretty well. The OCHC team from what I can see will be competitive for sure. Quite a few PWAA players from last year and solid PWA players making the move. I hear the Bears club is a returning AA team which should be good. Other teams I have not heard much about. Knowing that it is really early what are people's thoughts?
-
Drove down to Carlsbad for Saints PW AA skate. Closer than I thought. Great skate and well organized. About 25 kids. Looked like about two thirds of the kids played PW AA last season on various teams. Most talent I've seen at a AA skate thus far. Looks like both of their goalies are returning and they both played great. Saints look solid so far.

This mirrors a thread on the Bantam board, but I thought it worth discussing here. Multiple sources report that a significant change is coming to the CAHA schedule next season. Clubs in So Cal will play a full slate of SCAHA games (one game against each team) each of which will count towards the CAHA standings. Once a month, a small group of teams will travel north for a weekend of games against the 4 NorCal teams.
In other words, SCAHA games no longer are exhibitions, but rather they now "count" towards CAHA playoff eligibility, and CAHA weekends with all teams assembling in one location for each weekend are no more. The season structure becomes essentially the same as SCAHA A/BB/B divisions, plus one weekend tournament in NorCal.
This presumably will reduce the number of league scheduled games by around a third. For sake of comparison, in 2015-16, the So Cal PWAA teams played 12 or 13 SCAHA games plus 16 CAHA weekend games. Next season, if all declared teams actually field, that will be reduced to 20 league games. I can think of a number of pros and cons to this.
-
IMO, it seems to me like the governing bodies put one foot forward to take one step back. This year they limited the AAA teams to a max of 5. Last year, minor AAA teams were invited to play in SCAHA. This provided AAA teams with extra games that they did not have to travel. Now you have less teams and less games. It sort of seems like a hit to elite level hockey.
It was routine for teams to play 45+ games at AA last year. I have mixed feelings about the change. It sure doesn't seem like an enticement to keep players at lower levels and how does this affect costs?
-
great time in San Jose this past weekend, both Bears Peewee and Bantam AA looking good for the new season.

All the teams in the Carmen Starr 2004 AAA were solid. The Kings were strong. Bears, OC, Saints, and Ducks all good as well. It was tough to tell how many players were going to be on the Fall team vs borrowed for the tournament. I know there were several kids from the Ducks 04 AAA that were on teams the Kings being one. The AA division this coming season should be a lot of fun.

The Wave were there as well looked pretty good. Angry Eskimos they went by.
Pre season ranking coming soon. Simi won Wildcats tourney maybe not the strongest teams there.

I forgot the Wave. They looked good as to be expected.

Yes, Mariners won Riverside... My son's team lost to them in OT 6-5. It was a fun game and really could've gone either way between Heat and Mariners... My kid had 2 G and 1 A that game, but one bad play led to a Mariner breakaway and that was that.
Wildcats PWAA had a few solid players from last yr's team and played well vs Heat but got beat badly vs Mariners.
In my opinion, Heat, Mariners, and half of Wildcats may be ready for PWAA... Mariners had a bunch of Riptide PWB from last year, which IIRC, they were undefeated but lost to Leafs in playoffs. I think Mariners also had the Riptide PWAA goalie who won State at the tourney...
-
So where do the Ducks 06 team fit in to all of this? Too small and inexperienced for AA? I wonder if they benefit from any players coming over from the Ice Dogs.

Hard to say but we played the 05 AA team last year and those kids were big and fast for 05's. I was thinking they would be little squirt sized kids. lol
-
Angry Eskmos (Wada Wave) did not play well. Were missing some key D-Men. Lost to the Dark Side 6-4 in the finals.
PK........Zam (I mean KJ) and I will follow you after tryouts to visit your favorite Mamasan.

BF..............at it again.
From a reliable source , the PW "ELITE" division was made up of a few in house teams, Heat, Mariners. Now, if the Heat/Mariners knew that they were playing in an "Elite" division with basically in house teams, then it's their fault. But knowing they do things in BF-LAND, it was probably told to them after they could not get into another tournament, if at all. I will quote the source as calling it a "shit show". Now I may be wrong (but i'm usually not), but why would anyone want to play in a tournament that is filled in with TEAM WC ELITE TEAL/ TEAM WC ELITE PINK etc, that is being passed off as a PW "ELITE" division ? I thought the JKs were serving the Kool Aid a few years ago with their Elite AAA tournament for 6 year olds (sorry B.O.) We keep hearing about these kind of things in BF-LAND over and over again. would like to hear from any families that were at the BF-Land tournament this week end to get some feed back.
BTW......he still owes me $$$

My kid played at the Riverside tourney and here's what I saw.
There were 5 teams at the 'Elite PW' level:
Heat
Mariners
Wildcats Gold
Leafs
Ont Eagles
We had an opportunity to play with OC (Anaheim tourney) and Saints (Carmen Starr) and we chose to join the Heat (my son has played with the same group of kids before, for tourneys only) because we like playing with that group and Riverside was much closer to where we live. Whether Heat knew what BF/Riverside is all about or not, or if it was too late to join other tourney, I have no idea. We just knew we wanted to do a local tourney, with a group my son is familiar with...
Heat: Most of the kids at the tourney played PWAA last yr, one Bear PW or Sq(?), one Blaze PWA, with a few Heat SQA's moving up. I'd say 90% of the team are legit PWAA. My kid has fun every time he plays with these guys, and so do we, and that was the most important factor in deciding whether to join a new group in a more 'prestigious' tourney or do a lighthearted one with his friends.
Eagles: Aren't all Eagles teams 'in-house'? Likely consist of mostly PWA and my kid has scrimmaged with some of them at old Ontario... Struggled to score against most teams at Riverside, but managed to score a few goals vs Mariners, the eventual winner, but still, lost all their games.
Leafs: spoke to a few parents there and they appear to be the PWB team that won SCAHA last year. They had the most trouble putting up goals and lost all their games.
Wildcats Gold: Got stomped by Mariners, beat Leafs and Eagles, and managed to tie Heat. They had a few PWA kids from all over, one Jr Ducks2 PWAA, one or two PWAA from Wildcats' PWAA team last year and those kids were legit PWAA players. I have to admit I was surprised they managed to tie the Heat. When they played the Heat, Heat were more dominant and had a 2 goal lead but WC came back and tied. I know all about the BF crap, but I have to admit, they were better than their previous 'in-house' teams.
Mariners: Dominated all the teams, except Heat. Mix of mostly Riptide PWB (undefeated last yr), one from the Heat PWAA, one from Bears PWAA, one or two Mariners PWAA, and goalie from Ont Waves PWAA IIRC, won State last year. The PWB Riptide kids weren't big, except their goalie, but if you know who they are, you'll know that they're little speedsters with hands that keep coming at you. My kid has played this group since Squirts and it was always the same bunch of little speed demons that do most of the damage.
Heat vs Mariners was an excellent PWAA game to watch. Different style of play. Heat were bigger and moved the puck better as a team, while Mariners relied on their kids speed and dangles to beat you with breakaway's... Heat had more shots and in their zone longer but ultimately lost in OT... Game could've easily gone either way. I think everyone who watched would agree.
The Riverside tourney had only 2 true PWAA team in my opinion. And the two PWAA teams are likely middle of the pack next year. I believe the Leafs and Eagles were testing the water to see if they could hang/belong in PWAA. Most of the WC Gold are likely PWBB and PWA, except for #71 and maybe two other, who are legit PWAA.
Generally, I really dread even thinking about Riverside tourneys but I was too late to get my son to try out for Carmen Starr and by the time when I got to it, Wada and Bickley were set and we didn't want to stress about traveling so BF 'sh*tshow' it was... For once, I actually didn't mind Riverside tourney as my kid had lots of fun, was a top player there and managed to forfeited a game to go home early on Monday!
I think using the term 'sh*tshow' to describe the overall 'Elite PW' tourney is a little harsh... I've seen hardcore BF sh*tshows and this one was better than that...
-
Not a shit show IMHO. The teams that played in Riverside will not challenge for AA supremacy in the Fall, but they were not "in house" either. Mariners, Heat, Leafs and Cats each had a handful of kids who played PWAA last year, plus another handful who had strong PWA or SQA seasons and are ready to move up. Sure, all the teams weren't evenly matched, but neither were the teams at Carmen Starr, judging by the scores. Mariners/Heat was fast, back-and-forth, entertaining game, decided in OT, that could have gone the other way with just one different bounce here or there.
Can't speak for other clubs' reasons for participating, but I'm told that Heat participate because it is the only tourney where all of their teams can compete at the same location, which makes logistics easier for coaches and parents with multiple kids on different teams.
-
Hopefully SCAHA will step in and stop teams from pumping out the cool aid, as it's being described, and stop teams from jumping to AA like last year! It was the same conversation with a few teams mentioned and we all see how that worked out.
But hey, if your kid can develop and the coaching is good.... It's not about wins and losses? Another question I wonder is .... How those "elite" division teams would have fared against the Anaheim peewee A division top teams?
-
I'm hearing that CAHA/SCAHA may have the right to force teams to drop from AA to A if they are not competitive. Also, players would not have to be released for this to happen. I see the point of it. Certainly teams did not belong at tier last year, but this happens at every level. For those not educated to the sport, blindly in denial or for all those who believe what a coach or club says all spring, then should players lose this right and be stuck with that same team? IMO, if a coach or club errs, too bad they should have no choice but to grant a release. Any change in this rule could bring on additional deceit. Can anyone provide insight to this rule change and if it has occurred?

They have actually had this right to drop teams down or force teams up. They have never used it as far as i can tell. In fact when the Riptide Pee Wee A team begged to move to AA after killing the teams they were facing it was denied by CAHA.
-
Does SCAHA/CAHA care if they have teams in the right divisions? It does not appear they care in the A/B divisions. So why would they care in AA?
-
The problem isn't dropping teams, the problem is that everyone becomes a free agent when that happens. The clubs make up the board, so they don't want to do that to one of their own. If the rules change and the kids don't become free agents, it will be a little easier to force teams down a division. I'm guessing that is why there is a Peewee AA division this year. It would be nice to have more competitive divisions at every level.
-
I don't understand the hubbub over this issue every year. There always will be very strong teams and very weak teams in every division, unless the teams are stratified into eight or nine divisions of four to six teams at every age level. And even that probably won't work to achieve relative parity -- just look at last year's Bantam A, Midget A and most of the AAA divisions.
I think the addition of a PWBB level is good, because divisions of 20+ teams for sure are not going to be balanced top to bottom. There still might be a team every now and then that goes winless and regularly loses by double digits every game. That team's weakness is usually evident by mid-September, and I guess maybe a team like that should be moved down. Other than moving a real obvious outlier team like that up or down, I think the system is about as good as we can hope for. Imagine the uproar that would ensue if a committee of "experts" was charged with the responsibility of relegating/promoting several teams in every division every year based upon a three or four game sample set. Yikes.
-
Is it just me or is it the same had full of clubs who play up into the wrong division every year. I could post what clubs but I would get face washed by their parents. lol

Does anyone know why Ontario does not have a PW AA team listed for tryouts this weekend anymore? It has been removed.
-
CAHA rules apparently say that a club can only have two AA teams. So Artesia got them, and Ontario lost out.

That's what I heard also... What I don't understand is why and how did Calder, the new guy coming into the Waves, gets to have his PWAA team over the Ont Waves. The Ont Waves PWAA had tremendous success last year, and would've been competitive this yr with returning players and players from elsewhere. How did a team/coach with proven success and an established history lose out to a new guy coming in, and now an entire area/region of PWAA players are screwed and have to scramble to decide where to play for, TWO DAYS before tryout.
CAHA/SCAHA's decision should've granted both Artesia and Ontario with their own PWAA, or make an exception for Ontario, and have 3 PWAA teams, since Ont is basically in an entirely different region. The club appears to be Artesia-focused and made a very questionable decision along with CAHA/SCAHA in my opinion, and in the end, Ontario's kids, parents, and coaches got royally screwed.

@ justanotherhockeydad. Too bad you have napalmed your bridge at the Desert Blaze and now Riverside. Goes to show the hockey world is small....Good Luck wherever you end up.
Classy as always... the hockey world is small, and people know about your kid and the issues you guys have. I haven't napalmed anything with anyone, but would certainly like to get away from parents like you.
Funny how quickly you deleted the post...

I heard that the Ontario team were mostly 03's last year and they aged up. It is my understanding that they did not have enough returning 04's and PWAA caliber 05's to meet the 50% rule. Could be wrong...

Spots still available on the PW AA team.
Great coaches...great atmosphere.
9:30am Sunday at Valley Ice Center.

Valencia PDR for Riptide kids approved. CAHA got it right.

Congratulations to all the kids that made one of the California elite AA teams. Now that tryouts are over, does anyone besides me find it it ridiculous that California has 21 - peewee AA teams? I'm going to guess that the 350+ players playing tier hockey are 25% of the overall crop of kids at peewee in all of California. I know many of these kids and their families have no choice but to play what their local club offers up. But are 21 teams what is best for elite hockey in California? CAHA made it easier for families to play tier, they scheduled less games and they pushed players down from AAA. Now they are faced with the problem of a very watered down tier division. Heck they probably got rid of the CAHA weekends because they couldn't schedule that many extra games. Just my two cents for a Monday morning.

There definitely needs to be authority to move teams up or down based on performance. It seems there are too many parents willing to go 0 & ? on the season just for the extra A. I can't imagine being stuck in that trap week after week.

It is the same argument or discussion each season. The same discussion can be had at the "A" level as well. Fact is a lot of kids are playing hockey and that's a good thing. Last year in Bantam AA there was one team that should have dropped and didn't. There will likely be a couple of teams that should move down and won't and it isn't always the usual clubs. The big clubs have the same problem by fielding tier teams that should drop. Otherwise games were competitive and fun. All you can do is find the best team for your player to develop and let the rest play out.

This is what my wife and I are telling ourselves. The PWAA experience is new to us and we understand the next level of commitment required by us and our kid. My kid's team look solid and hope the season will go well... 21 teams sound crazy but hopefully upper will do what they said they would and get a good look of teams during preseason and act accordingly.
All we can do now is buckle up and get ready for a wild ride.

Wasn't the BB division added this year to keep A stronger and AA as well?

That is certainly the intent if teams and clubs are truly disciplined enough to fields teams where they are supposed to. My older son played Bantam AA last year and JK's wouldn't drop down their minor team after lots of pressure to do so based on preseason games. That team didn't win a game and got outscored 12-250. If the JK's can't be leader for clubs by correctly placing their teams others won't either.

On the SCAHA Site it only shows 16 PWAA teams declared. Are there 5 more?
Does anyone know how many of the PWAA teams have a core of 2006 and/ or 2005 birth year players?
The ones I know are Ducks core 2006, Kings core 2006 and the Wave core 2005.
-
Probably 5 up north

I would assume they are teams from up north. Also you can scratch the Heat off the list I heard they won't have enough kids for AA.
-
That makes sense, I didn't think about teams up North.
Do the PWAA teams ever play the PWAAA teams during the season?
Anyone know how many core 2006 and/ or 2005 based teams are in PWAA for the upcoming season?
-
Golden State Elite PWAA North
Golden State Elite PWAA South
Santa Clara Blackhawks PWAA
San Jose Sharks PWAA
Stockton Colts PWAA

The Ducks 2006 core team will be good. They have 9 Brick kids on that team and are well coached.

Wait and see, the PWAA teams up north will be among the strongest in CAHA.

The 2006 Ducks team was the dominant team in Squirt A this past season, despite being a 2006 team playing against 2005's. They will be even stronger next year, with the addition of another line of some of the top 2006's around. Will be interesting to see how well they can do against strong core 2004 teams, like JKAA, GSE, etc.

I see that Valencia has just added AA for the Endless Summer Tourney Labor Day. Where is everyone going?

I was told the IHE tournament has:
Saints
Gulls
Wave
Ducks
OCHC
GSE
Kings
SDIA
so far and possible Jr. Coyotes

What's wrong PK....... you guys don't want to play at the "world famous" Riverside tournament. I hear they're offering a Bantam AAAA Curbside Division.

I know it is tempting. I do love a tourney that has three locations all 40 miles apart too.

Too bad I've already napalmed my bridge with Riverside, but a Bantam AAAA Curbside is exactly what I've been searching for... Oh well, guess I have to settle for some random IHE tourney. FML...
Looking at the teams participating at IHE, I think is going to be ultra competitive...

On the SCAHA Site it only shows 16 PWAA teams declared. Are there 5 more?
Does anyone know how many of the PWAA teams have a core of 2006 and/ or 2005 birth year players?
The ones I know are Ducks core 2006, Kings core 2006 and the Wave core 2005.
The Ducks 2006 core team will be good. They have 9 Brick kids on that team and are well coached.
KJ-Z , that team is going to get smoked next year !
Hope they get some wins at the Brick, because they won't get many next year.
Sorry baby Gretzs

Not sure why you believe that given the experience of the JD 05 team this past season in AA. They made it all the way to states and had a mix of competitive games throughout the season, which is no doubt the goal. Solid Squirt A teams typically go PWAA the following season. The JD 06 team won Squirt A this past season. They'll be fine in PWAA, and will probably be right behind the top 04 AA teams.

Handjoboni, if they end up above .500, I'll buy you a beer. :P
-
As for The Brick I think the 06 team has a good chnace at a nice run. Wish them the best. As for the AA season, you may be right about the wins. However, I don't think that really is the priority for them. My "guess" is that they will have an aggressive travel schedule this year. The season schedule will prepare them for the top teams nationally.

Who is baby Gretz?
Does anyone know how many core 2006 kids teams are playing PWAA? Core 2005 teams in PWAA?
Tks

Baby wannabe Gretzkys!
I know Jr. Kings have a 2006-only AA team; Valencia 04/05s AA only. That's all I know!

I have a good buddy who's son is on the JD06 AA team. The parents are all well aware of the struggles that will come playing in that division. Their goal as far as I know is to develop a nationally / internationally competitive team at the 06 level, and to get the boys ready to move up to the AAA division.
-
Exactly. If they were more concerned with wins they would play PWA.

Lol...right. It'd be much better to keep the top end 9 and 10 year old kids in SQA or PWA where they may have one competitive game and blow out the rest of the teams 15-0. That'd be good for everyone involved, including Trans, who could then bitch at all the Junior Ducks in person instead of on this board for running up the score on teams.
-
Even though we have officially left the state of CA, I check in every once in a while to check in on the madness, and here we have it. 9 yr old kids preparing for the International Level? Hahaha
They are 9, they could wake up tomorrow and decide they want to be competitive Pokemon card players.
Some parents are delusional. Trust me, letting your kid or kids, play at their age appropriate level and dominate and gain the confidence in carrying the puck and developing his or her ice vision is much more important. Sure, they may be studs now in their own age bracket, but wait until your 9 yr old who has a birthday in October goes up a against a 12 yr old with a January birthday and is closer to 13 than 12 and has started to grow due to puberty. Your little 9'yr old future Crosby/Stamkos/Kane will chase the puck all season and won't learn anything except how to skate up and down the ice.
But hey, it's your kid, not mine. Do your thing and let little Gretz prepare for his future NHL career how you like.
-
In some circles it might be in poor taste to run up the score, but where I'm from, point shaving to spare feelings is far more disrespectful to the losing party. If a nine year old steps out there, he should be prepared to be stepped on. Real nine year old children understand this. That's why they don't ask their opponents for mercy, they ask them for a rematch. And we ask the hockey gods for revenge.

There is a team of Squirts so dominant that they are going 15-0 in PWA?
So what happens when this Leviathan hits PW and can't move up to a checking division? Just mail in the forfeits? I take it back, they all need an agents. There is a blank ring for the Stanley Cup being reserved now.

Last Friday my "real" 8 year old, Sat and watched a Dodger game for 2 innings with cotton candy crap all over his face.
He also didn't ask the cotton candy man mercy. Next time down, he asked for more.

Enjoy it now, Bantam hockey is coming. It's the equalizer. #flagfootball to #Tacklefootball

Start them a on a Steroid and Growth Hormone regiment now, you can never be to proactive. Nothing like a Squirt with 20 inch arms to get the attention of a scout.

Yes, seeing that now. watching some of the hot shits who dominated squirts and even into pee wees just arent growing...now that little speedster with his head down racing with the puck all over the place gets blasted off the puck or is timid and dont want to get hit!

Yes Checking is a whole new game.

Follow these instructions when you give your child corticosteroids:Give your child corticosteroids exactly as your personal trainer tells you, even if your child seems better. Stop giving your child corticosteroids only if his nuts disappear.Give your child corticosteroids with food, orange juice, and nicotine.Give your child corticosteroids in the morning at the same time every day. Pick a time that is easy for you so that you do not miss doses.Shake the bottle well before you give your child a corticosteroid if he or she is taking the liquid form of the medicine.Give your child corticosteroids with a syringe is a hollow tube that has a plunger and holds medicines.
-
Look. It's a tough decision when you look at it from an injury stand point. As mentioned, the size and speed of kids 2 years older can cause major injury. Also, don't think for a second that some major year pee wee kid who is getting beat down by squirts isn't going to go brain dead and take liberties. It will happen. Aside from that I don't think playing up is a big hot button issue to get worked up over. There are certain (and I mean minimal)teams at each birth year that should play up. They pooled all of the talent on one team and need stronger competition. The problem is when parents and clubs take this as bible for the following years and apply it to their own son or team. Just because the CJ Ducks went independent years ago doesn't mean that everyone should do it because it's cool or trendy. That's where the issue lies.

Bro, you're doing it wrong. Corticosteroids = to control inflammation, arthritis etc. You need anabolic steroids if you want to look like Ahhhnold.

Team California wins 5-4 against Saskatchewan

Great win! I remember that team was very good last year and went deep.

With 2 seconds left in OT. Great PK by Team California.

That's awesome. Best of luck to them. Those boys will play some great competition this week that's for sure.

California Brick lost 3-1 to Minnesota today. Boys played hard just did not get the result we wanted.
-
Plenty of hockey left.

It looks like the Declaration page has bee updated. Personally I think it's an error as it has 2 teams missing from PeeWee AA and PeeWee A picked up 2 teams as well. Pasadena is now showing as AA. Again, I think it's an error but does anyone out there know anything?
-
Looks like it's the declarations for last season. At least that is the page I see from my iPhone.
-
5-3 lost today. Up by 2 with 6 minutes left. Tough tough loss and on other news we had a player quit on us before the game. Not much of a team player.

Maybe if the coach would have showed some respect during the National anthem, and stand quietly, he wouldn't have put the jinx on the team. :o

Bummer about the turn of events in Edmonton. Props to those kids and families who decided to tough it out and not bail on the team. Sad to hear about that kind of thing.

More than likely, yes the parent pulled the kid. However, there is the chance that the kid wanted to quit and parents let him. either way sucks

That's crazy. To go through all that, the travel, etc., and to quit in the middle? Unreal.

Its a shame about the performance of the 06 Brick team. Perhaps its time for Andy Cohen to hand the reigns to someone who can run it properly. All the other Brick teams have skated together for months before and have a proper selection process.
The performance does not reflect the kids that played, the coaches nor the quality of California Hockey. It is a reflection of Andy Cohens poor management. He needs to stop treating the license as his own personal income boost and invest in time and quality management. The Kids and the coaches are excellent, just under prepared and poorly funded.
How is it possible that California have one of the top 2 06 teams in the country, yet the Brick team come dead last.
Coaches can only do so much in the time provided, and the kids never looked out skated nor out of their depth.
Changes required going forward.
-
I'm not sure why we are talking about the '06 Brick team in the 2016 Peewee AA thread, but since that's been happening I'll throw in my 2 cents.Seems like the last few years there has been a lot of criticism of the process, the approach compared to other teams, and the on ice product. For example last year, several people that watched the games complained that there was not enough "team play" despite a number of highly talented kids. I saw a portion of one practice for that team last year, and it was certainly impressive in terms of the 1 on 1 abilities of many of the kids who were selected but team chemistry never emerged.
From the box scores, and shot totals, this years team was certainly competitive. They put up nearly the same number or more shots in most of the games they played. Ironically their sole win vs Montreal suggests that the goalie might have stole them one there as they were substantially outshot in that game.For example, against the undefeated Minnesota 3 team, they lost 3-1 with 16 to 18 shots. In other games, they surrendered 3 empty net goals. This is not a team that is out of their depth. It seems they were short on puck luck and perhaps some seasoning that could have won several of the close games they lost. Apparently they suffered a setback or two surrendering leads late in a game.
I have many questions about the Brick system here, and the very idea that we send a "Team California" when it essentially ends up being a team SoCal, without representation from either SD or NorCal, who both produce competitive teams. I question the franchise aspect of the system, the amount of time the team has to prepare, and the fact that the coaches are typically coming to it with fairly extreme bias towards the players they know the best.
I know a lot of the kids at this age group, and it's pretty clear that unless your child played for either the kings or ducks, their chances to make the team are exceedingly slim. This year the 2nd best predominantly 06 team was the Ice Dogs, who were neck and neck with the Ducks, so there's understandably some really good kids from that team that made the roster and should have, but this season seems to be an anomaly, and the team is still heavy with players from the Ducks which was a short bench team with a AA caliber 05 on it as well.
Let's just say hypothetically that you have 2 kids who are quite similar at first blush. The Brick clinics offer a few opportunities for kids to show what they can do, but like most teams, they are already about 90% picked before anyone steps on the ice. If you are the coach, and have 2-3 seasons with a player you've coached, how likely are you to pick the player you don't know that well? What are the tryouts actually for then?
From what people have told me, many of the other teams are more seasoned and prepared to play together, because they are put together earlier, and get in more tournament play. Again I don't have all the facts, so I take these statements with a grain of salt, but if we look at a program like the Jr. Bruins for example, they are basically grooming kids to play for a team 4 years in advance of the Brick. I find that a little bit crazy but it does indicate some of what you have to compete with. Maybe that's not anything we should care about competing with?
At the end of the day, it seems to me that hockey is doing just fine in California, and by the time these kids are college age, we should see a lot of california born players continuing into the higher levels the sport offers. California born players are being recruited by prep schools and western colleges, and as more California and western US universities add Division 1 programs, there will be a lot of opportunity. I was recently corresponding with someone back east about the Squirt divisions last season, and the fact that there were over 50 teams in scaha. The sport is extremely healthy, and the Brick is simply a sideshow that means very little in terms of how much talent and how competitive our kids are nationally. One would hope that at very least the experience of playing in a prestigious international tournament on a regional all star team is its own reward for those kids and their families. From what I've heard, the cost is certainly astronomical for a single tournament. At 9-10 they are little boys, not little mini professionals.
The saddest thing to hear is that a kid would literally drop off the team at the end of the tournament. Nothing gets people more upset than the subject of ice time and usage of their kids, or lack thereof. I didn't see the games, so I have no idea how much the various lines were played, but unless we were talking about a first line player walking off the team in a huff over results, I'm guessing that the family that made the painful decision to walk off the team and not have their kid finish things out, might very well have been doing that because their kid has been riding the bench for the majority of the tournament.
These are the types of situations that are high up on the list of reasons that kids quit the sport entirely, despite having a AAA pedigree. Too much pressure and focus on competition and winning at too early an age is something that USA Hockey has been trying to address for years now, and is the reason for Mite ADM, and the fact that there is no sanctioned Squirt national championship tournament anymore. My biggest concern for my child is that they develop confidence and essential skills in all aspects of the game. My fear would be a situation where the coach tries to turn my son into a 3rd line grinder at the expense of his development. All the talk about honoring a commitment and seeing something through, sounds good to the adult mind, but isn't something I'd expect to be received by a kid who has had their ego and self confidence trashed. Again, not saying I agree, or would have done what those parents chose to do myself, but I'm not going to rush to condemn the family when I wasn't party to what happened.
This is a team that is going to essentially disband at this point anyways. Once again, realization that your kid is seen by the coaches as being at the bottom of the roster is a difficult pill to swallow when you are in the midst of the tournament, and this perhaps goes back to the fact that if the team had a larger window of preparation and played in more highly competitive tune-ups than they do, this might have become evident earlier before it was too late for the family to back out gracefully if they couldn't accept the situation.
The brick is franchised, so I'm not sure what could be done about the situation that didn't involve a lot of soul searching and perhaps the investment in it by a larger group of people than those currently controlling the team and everything having to do with it.

My biggest concern for my child is that they develop confidence and essential skills in all aspects of the game. My fear would be a situation where the coach tries to turn my son into a 3rd line grinder at the expense of his development. All the talk about honoring a commitment and seeing something through, sounds good to the adult mind, but isn't something I'd expect to be received by a kid who has had their ego and self confidence trashed. Again, not saying I agree, or would have done what those parents chose to do myself, but I'm not going to rush to condemn the family when I wasn't party to what happened.
This is a team that is going to essentially disband at this point anyways. Once again, realization that your kid is seen by the coaches as being at the bottom of the roster is a difficult pill to swallow when you are in the midst of the tournament, and this perhaps goes back to the fact that if the team had a larger window of preparation and played in more highly competitive tune-ups than they do, this might have become evident earlier before it was too late for the family to back out gracefully if they couldn't accept the situation.
The brick is franchised, so I'm not sure what could be done about the situation that didn't involve a lot of soul searching and perhaps the investment in it by a larger group of people than those currently controlling the team and everything having to do with it.
Well said. Nice perspective.

Excellent post on multiple levels by Icadad. We happened to be in Edmonton for a Gretzky camp and caught the BC - Red Wings game on a brief trip to the West Edmonton Mall. The BC team was impressive but not necessarily more talented than our '06 CA team. Our son is an '05 who tried out for Brick last year and we have seen both the Ducks and Ice Dogs mostly '06 teams over 2 years and I watched the '06 team at Carmen Starr and our son scrimmaged them when on the Gasseau '05 AAA team this spring. There are lots of reasons why teams loss games in an evenly matched tournament. One of those reasons might have been the emotional impact of one or two players leaving the team. We happened to meet and talk to a CA Brick coach who knew our son from "in house" play years ago. Even a kid of who might not play much is still part of team and there are attachments among the kids. Despite the outcome of this event, the best kids in California hold their own with the best in Canada and east of the Mississippi river.
While in Edmonton, the St. Alberta newspaper gave a short history of the tournament. 27 years ago, a hockey dad wanted to create a tournament to push his son who went on to have a good career in the NHL. The Brick, btw, is a major retail outlet for mattresses and appliances. We bought our appliances for our Victoria BC house at the Brick in 2006. The Brick tournament is an interesting glimpse into to future, if not taken too seriously, brought to you by an appliance and mattress store and other commercial sponsors.
Our son nearly ended up as a 3rd line grinder on one of the '05 PWAAA teams. For better or worse, he is a "personality player" who is a risk taker. Kids and adults learn by taking risks and we encourage it in our son on the ice and classroom. But these win-oriented teams accept risk taking only by a handful of their "personality players." The structural problem with this approach is that pre-puberty hockey stars may not dominate years later otherwise NHL teams could just draft Brick players. While waiting for my wife to finish shopping at the W. Edmonton mall, two Brick teams walked by us for their dry land. Hardly any player on either team even came up to the shoulder's of our '05 son. They looked like mites. It reminded him and me how much kids change in a year let alone 3-5 years.
The Gretzky camp was one of our best hockey experiences ever. In part, we decided that when our son is 18, he needs more memories that just hockey arenas and an assortment of coaches, good and not so good. So we have been traveling through beautiful Western Canada and will continue to do so. The Gretzky camp also creates a wonderful atmosphere for families and kids.
From a hockey perspective, it is interesting that the Gretzky camp coaches, including two NHL scouts, recognized something more than a 3rd line grinder in our son. In the scrimmage at the end of the camp, our son's team came back and won 9-8 in a shoot out. He felt like an integral part of the victory. That win and the celebration was just as joyful and authentic as any tournament win and who knows, maybe as emotionally satisfying as a Brick championship. The difference is about "bragging rights." The Brick game we watched was at a more consistently good level than the mixed PW, BN, and Midget kids at the Gretzky camp but the older kids, including a remarkable 11 year old Canadian girl, were generally better as they should be. The kids at the Gretzky camp seemed to have more fun than kids I have observed at the '05 Brick tryouts or the elite PWAAA Carmen Starr this spring and maybe better memories in 5 or 10 years. What really matters for our sons and daughters, in the moment, and years later?
In that context, our son was a PWAA last year, a PWAAA this spring, to a PWA
this coming season. Our final decision reflected the best coaching fit our our son. The number of A's reflects quality of competition in practice and games but is otherwise not so important.

Awesome Perspective!
-
Great Prespective! However, Thr. only way it will ever be a true Brick team is if an organization sponsors it and pays for one player and one parent to participate. Then they will get the best of the best and not the richest of the rich! Brick should be selected by the stats just like other sports all star teams are picked.
-
Ah, there are the idiots! Was presently surprised at the Brick posts until the last two. Pick a team based solely on stats? Lol, please. You'd be the parent that leaves the Brick because your 40 goal scorer during the SCAHA season isn't getting ice time because he doesn't pass and can't score.
And makeawish? That grammar screams of either someone from French Canada with their nose in the air or Zamboni Driver (RIP), but even he wouldn't come up with the asinine comments regarding California hockey.
Really enjoyed reading the other comments though!
-
Lol! Rocket your the idiot. I wouldn't have to worry about the ice time because my kid wouldn't even be picked because he wouldnt be one of the top 20 with stats to make the team! We didn't even try out or go to the clinics. I based my opinion off of what the NHL looks for to make the team more competitive by sending the best of the best! Stop assuming that when someone posts something they are upset at something. We didn't even participate.
-
I just don't understand the whole ice time bit. I look at the roster posted in the other board, and there's 3 front lines, 2 1/2 defensive lines, and 2 goalies. Assuming you are taking the top talented 06 kids (bad assumption we know, but work with me here), how can the level difference between the 1st Forward and the 9th Forward be that far apart that one of them doesn't get any ice time? Was it the entire 3rd line? Was it the odd 5th defense-man? I mean, if the 1st and 2nd lines aren't exhausted after a shift at that level of play I'm really surprised. Or was it one of the goaltenders who felt like he maybe could have stopped a few more pucks and maybe won a game if he wasn't riding the bench?
It just doesn't make sense to me. Wish I would have watched some of the games.
Are we sure it was because of ice time? I would have thought it would have been due to parent and/or child not being familiar with EK's style of coaching. I took my son to one and only one clinic with that guy and he verbally destroyed my son (6 at the time) for messing up a poorly explained drill. It's not for everyone. Getting humiliated in front of everyone else on the ice still didn't make him understand what to do.
-
One kid didn't make the trip, so that shortens all your lines down and ice time should be fine, right?. The kid that left was familiar with the coaching style, as he and my son had played multiple tourneys under EK.
Regardless of what you think the Brick is, it is a big tournament. If your kid gets to Edmonton and can't handle the speed or physical play of the kids, or is making plays that he shouldn't, do you continue to play him every shift - or do you do your job as a coach and fit him in where you see necessary, even if that means every other shift? These kids are 10, I get it. But if you watch the level of play, you'd be shocked.
Sorry that the coach yelled at your 6 year old, but you sound like you're practicing to make excuses for him in the future.
-
Just curious, isn't there a subsection of this board for the Brick tournament? Perhaps in the Squirt thread as these are 06 players? I thought this was the Peewee AA thread which would suggest discussions, topics, and issues surrounding players in the 04/05 birth year. For example, CAHA weekend changes, etc.
Further, pages and pages of discussions about how 9 and 10 year old children react to the pressure to perform and meet the unrealized dreams of their parents might want to be put under a new thread labeled, "ways to encourage your child to stop playing hockey". Just a thought.
-
I think since most all of the Brick 06 team is playing PWAA this season, the conversation bumped up to this thread. Less actual hockey discussion and more sour grapes happening on the squirt thread regarding Brick. I heard the kids played hard and like a team but just didn't get the outcome they wanted. Great experience for those that choose it. But now that it's over with, can we go back to our regularly scheduled programming?

Haven't you heard? ALL the best Pee Wees are now Squirts. If your Pee Wee is still actually playing Pee Wee, because he isn't in the NHL yet, it's obviously time for him to quit.

SDIA
San Diego Saints
San Diego Jr Gulls (Arlidge)

I don't know about the No Cal teams, they always seem to be strong. As for the So Cal Teams my top 2 are..........
JK Mickey D's AND Wada Wave
-
JK McDonald and GSE are among the strongest teams. Will be interesting to see how JD do against these top teams.
-
JK Mac, GSE and Wada Wave are all really strong teams no doubt.
I saw the Jr. Gulls play in Carmen Star, but they were playing in the elite division, so i'm guessing that is their AAA team (they were really good). Not sure about the Gulls AA teams.
Curious to see how the minor teams do:
- Jr. Ducks (06 core) Kabs
- Jr. Kings (06 core) Daughaday
- Wave (05 core) Calder
It will be a gut check tourney very early in the season.
-
Wada Wave will be the team to beat in SOCAL.
-
We have room for one more U12 AA team.
-
All socal teams are in IHE except the Bears & Flyers. would be nice to have another nor cal team sign up
-
IHE OC Labor Day Tournament schedule is out on Pointstreak, but some teams are playing 5 games and some 3 games?! It's gotta be a misprint...
5 games:
Anaheim Jr Ducks (Blue)
San Diego Jr Gulls (Kunsman)
3 games:
CA Wave (Wada)
Ventura Mariners
-
There were some Pointstreak issues this weekend. The schedule is corrected.
-
Anybody heard of any pre-season scrimmages? Gulls (arlidge) just clobbered SDIA 7-0.
-

Wow! That SDIA team is the mostly 04 team from PWA last year. They played in a PWA tourney for Memorial Day, so maybe they will drop if they don't do well in Labor Day tourney.
-
Anybody heard of any pre-season scrimmages? Gulls (arlidge) just clobbered SDIA 7-0.
Gulls (Arlidge) is mostly 05s. There is only a handful of 04s. However, IMO they all work hard and pass exceptionally well for 05s.
-
Heard that the Wada Wave scrimmaged the Kings05 AAA team, didn't hear what the outcome was. Maybe someone can share the details.
-
Hey A1, did you ever find out the answer to your question? if so, please share....
-
Found out that the WW have two losses in 1 week. Lost to the 05 AAA Ducks 8-4 and lost to the 05 AAA Kings 9-6.
-
Found out that the WW have two losses in 1 week. Lost to the 05 AAA Ducks 8-4 and lost to the 05 AAA Kings 9-6.
The loss to Kings 10-6 but yes good for them to play the harder teams getting ready for the season. IMO should only make them stronger.
-
So the AA team gets 2 games against AAA competition in a week to kick off the season? Great job by the coach and team manager. That's quality ice. Outcome does not matter. Good experience for those kids to play against speed and skill.

Exactly that team should come out hard, not sure if it will last until the playoffs but they should be in mid season form to start. I would say Labor Day champs for sure. IMO
-
Good luck to everyone this weekend. It should give us a good idea who's who.
We'll in the parking lot as usuall. Come on by. 8)
-
I think the Ducks and Kings 05 teams win as well when it comes to those scrimmages. It's no secret that the AAA diuvsion is light. Anytime they can find a good team to play always helps. Based on the scores it looked fairly compettive so it must have been worthwhile.

Well the Wildcats put on another shit show last night. Maybe BF can buy some more advertisements and articles in Cal Rubber to hide that performance.

Jesus Christ, Kangaroo, you do realize that they are just a group of kids playing a game, right?? I understand that you have some sort of hard-on for BF, and that's great, but calling them a "shit show" because they weren't as good as the other team is a little uncalled for. You do know that these kids also visit this site, right?

Not a religious man myself, but using the Lords name in vain not called for either. Some might get offended. Would not want to offend anyone because that is not PC. From now on I will use a low quality performance, but "quality" none the less. If you prefer I could also use Not that good, but their slow. Which ever one you want.
-
So the guy (who apparently pulled his post off all-be-it too late), decides to show up and give an opinion about someone having hard-on for BF.. YOURE LATE TO THE SHOW friend and therefore you are uninformed.. And yeah kids read this so LOCK YOUR COMPUTERS.. They're goona see porn too buddy!! There's bigger issues here than kids, ALOT BIGGER than the kids and its BF!!!! But I suspect you took his hook, line and sinker ehh?
You're new to this, we get it.. That's what the BF's of the world love about you.

and if your feelings get hurt on this site then log out forever and find the nearest Clinton rally to attend.

Nope, not new to this and not offended. Thanks for your concern, though. Just posting an opinion on a blog like everyone else.

Kangaroo Jack Jaded and Hell bent former Anaheim Wild Cat Parent Now Duck parent or stalker at Peewee Hockey Games. The only way he could report so quickly.
-
Oh yeah, one more. Welcome to being PCA and ADM jr. ducks and Kangaroo Jack, if you are a jr. duck parent. The other option (going to a peewee ice hockey with no child of your own) is too creepy. Soon your practices will look more like Wildcats Practices, unless, of course that just a p.r. move on the Ducks part.

Awesome thanks for reading :-*. Your rant has made my day

That assumes they don't already use ADM techniques in their practices. Most coaches do and have been doing so for some time. There are a few model ADM things like having age group coaches but these are not difficult to implement for a large organization like the Ducks.
The big complaint I hear constantly about the wildcats is that they routinely roster teams in divisions that are far above the median level of their kids. We played in a tourney and the wildcat team was so far below that of the other teams the mercy rule had to be invoked in every game they played. You feel bad for the kids and their families and when this occurs at an A or A+ level naturally people question the club. To their credit they dropped down a level that season, but at that point the other teams who had played them were all left with a sour taste in their mouth. This is the rep the club has, model ADM or not, at least until you get to the level where your kid is good enough to play for Pavel.

GSE wins 3-2 Final
Sounds like a really close game...

GSE wins 3-2 Final
Looks like penalties played a major factor in this game, its hard to win against a very good team like GSE and take that many penalties.

Correct 7-1 and look at the shots GSE had way more because of that too.
-
Looks like the younger teams held their own for the most part as well. Should be a good all around AA division this year.
-
Wildcats need to drop down and the Gulls should form one AA team.
-
Interested in hearing what you guys saw during the U12 PWAA IHE Tourney... I was only able to watch games with OCHC, Jr Kings (Daughaday), Wada Wave, Nevada Jr Storm and Mariners...
IMO, Mariners may want to consider dropping... WW is clearly the team to beat in Socal as they seem pretty stacked. WW were damn good last yr and stronger now with strong players from Riptide and elsewhere. Wada's got those kids pretty dialed in, with plenty of speed and solid goaltending. Nevada Storm seem young and perhaps inconsistent as they lost to OCHC but somehow managed to tie Daughaday's Kings, which feature lots of kids that pushed the puck well. The game between OC and DD's Kings was pretty even for the most part but I believe if the two goals by OC weren't called back, it would've been a much closer game and could've gone either way.
I think Wada Wave, OCHC, and Daughaday Kings are all going to do well in the upcoming season and would love to hear others opinion on the 4 San Diego teams, McD Kings, Calder Wave and the 2 Ducks squad.
-
Wildcats need to drop down and the Gulls should form one AA team.
Yeah, whats with the Wildcats....last year they were clearly in the wrong division too. Do they not know what a AA PW team looks like? Maybe someone from this board should give them some advice or consult for them. Or maybe its called "development".

Wildcats certainly have a few legit PWAA kids, but overall, it's the same ol' Wildcats, year after year... I'm still baffled as to why the legit AA kids and their parents choose to remain...
-
Both Wave (Calder) and Kings (Daughaday) looked better than I thought they would and definitely held their own in the tourney. The one Little Ducks 06 game I saw was vs. the Kings (McDonald) and the Ducks were up for a good part of the game, 2-1. They ended up losing 4-2, with an open netter in the remaining minutes. It was a really fun game to watch - super fast and really physical, as opposed to the one Wildcats game I saw. They should really drop down one level and let the kids have fun and compete.

Hello "Just Another Hockey Dad":
We were on that Wildcat PWAA team last year and along with maybe 1/3 of the parents and kids, we were frustrated and angry by the lack of constructive coaching in practice, which happened at 3 locations and some chaos and nastiness in the locker room at games. That 1/3 has left the club, never to return. It is all about money with that club. It is my understanding, perhaps uninformed, if they drop down they have to give a release and refund to any family that wants out. Better to let the kids have FUN losing every game by 10 goals or more.
The current version of PWAA scored 1 and gave up 31 over Labor Day. They will struggle at PWA and should consider PWBB. There were some decent players both last and this year; their teams are killed by the bottom 3rd of the roster that can barely skate.
I observed volunteer dads handling the practices for Squirts and Mites. Nice to pay big bucks to a team and have in-house level coaching.

It is my understanding, perhaps uninformed, if they drop down they have to give a release and refund to any family that wants out. Better to let the kids have FUN losing every game by 10 goals or more.
The current version of PWAA scored 1 and gave up 31 over Labor Day. They will struggle at PWA and should consider PWBB. There were some decent players both last and this year; their teams are killed by the bottom 3rd of the roster that can barely skate.
I observed volunteer dads handling the practices for Squirts and Mites. Nice to pay big bucks to a team and have in-house level coaching.
Yet another story of its all about the money...... Just bums me out so many Hawks using peoples growing love of the sport (adults and kids alike) to fleece their pockets with lies and bullshit. The parent side of it however has also been touched upon for years now too though so here it is again. There will always be a supply of parents who honestly think their kids are superior to the level they should truly be at. And, as a result they are part of the issue. I find myself marveling at it more and more.

Alot of conjecture Station26 on your part. It has nothing to do with parental ego. You are compartmentalizing and generalizing for something you don't know everything about. Why don't you just try talking to the Wild Cat Parents? I am sure that you will discover their motivation. Why don't you research the current Wildcat Tier Programs to discover the facts? Did you know that in the tier program you can get 6 hours or more[/size] of[/size] high quality on-ice training along with 5 hours or more of dryland training per week? It's an open practice schedule with one of the best coaches in Southern California. So as often as one can attend, one determines the extent of the benefit. So, the focus is different from other clubs. In life, one does not win all the time. In fact it is quite the opposite. Character development is important, facing difficult challenges is paramount toward that end.

Wildcats certainly have a few legit PWAA kids, but overall, it's the same ol' Wildcats, year after year... I'm still baffled as to why the legit AA kids and their parents choose to remain...
[/size]
[/size]Logistics and see my response to Station26. I have three sons who play hockey.

FM, you might want to go check your nose in the mirror, there is something brown on it. If building character through adversity, is the goal, the kitty program is right on track.
By the way FM, can you possibly get me the $$ BF owes me ?

FM if you are getting your ass handed to you 31-1 every weekend your doing something wrong. I agree life can be tough sometimes, but 31-1 come on. I offer a life coaching clinch you can attend. If you can afford to throw away money to BF, you can afford my classes. After all there is one born every minute.
-
Passive aggressive much. Straight to insults. Is it difficult for you to have a conversation without being insulting? How much ice time does your kid get? Who are you exactly?

It is not practical for my family to travel beyond what the playing schedule already demands. There is quality training here and not one club in the league has it perfect.
[/size]
[/size]Every weekend??? The team played together for the first time in this tournament. Does something need to be done, yes. Am I disappointed, yes. Throwing money away, not so much. 6 hours+ of ice time per week plus 5 hours+ of dryland, is not throwing money away. At the end of the season, I pay less or the same as what most everyone else is paying for my return.
[/size]This team was already conjectured to go down to A at tryouts, it turns out that this will more than likely happen. My son had good success with some of these players 3 seasons ago(State Semis), so I was hoping for a better premier.

Oh FM... so young, so naïve...I am gonna try to put this nicely, though my cabernet usually ends up doing the talking. Every year BF has a couple OK to decent teams, but the rest he puts way above their ability level and that's why you have blowout games week after week, blowout tournaments (unless it's a WC tournament), and blowout seasons. Not an opinion, but a fact. Check the SCAHA website if you are in denial. Where's the development there? He's been doing this not just this year or last year but ever since he took over the WC 5 years ago. The sad thing is he needs new parents like you to drink the Koolaid, who don't know the travel hockey SoCal scene. Ask around and people in the know will tell you stay away. If you fall for his spiel, you might get lucky and land on one of the two properly placed teams. Otherwise brace yourself for the storm, as your kid loses his passion and confidence, because of BF's selfishness. At our last matchup, I stood silently next to some of your parents and sipped my "coffee". One said I can't wait for this game to be over, another said I can't wait for this season to be over, another said we're done with hockey, we're going back to baseball. You really need to look at this objectively, talk to people you trust, outside of Jonestown. Or you and I can do it over a bottle of wine at our next matchup. I would love to free your mind.

Conjecture--- (Synonyms--Speculation, guesswork, surmise, presumption and assumption)... Yes, I am generalizing, that much is true. I'm generalizing that for example there are in fact parents out there who put their kids in higher levels of hockey than they should. Some should not even be in Tier hockey as they seriously need to still develop their Hockey IQ at the lower levels (like one of my sons for example)! But to say I'm using conjecture, well no not really. Been around a little while. Seen some things, over and over and over. Seen some coaches fleece people (and still doing it) while telling them their kid is on the cusp of almost being great!! Just stick with it!!! Can you believe the human ego would actually allow that? Of course, what a rhetorical question.
As a couple people already responded with, the end result hardly justifies what you are apparently trying to justify. Fowl if you want to spend your money on that and claim you are getting a good return because of ice time hours, dry land, etc, then by all means its your freewill. Do as you please. But Have you ever played sports as a kid? Did you ever get your ass kicked in a sport as badly as those poor kids are? Do you really think they want to stay with this? Do you think this is fun? So while you seemingly brag about why WC parents do what they do and why they do it, I will respond there is no conjecture at all. The trained eyes already know what its about and have drawn their conclusions. Again, BF needs people like you to believe and a few parents need BF to tell them their kid is as great as THEY think they are!! By the way, is this BF I'm presently talking to..?
I don't personally have a problem with BF other than it just seems so unfortunate that he's selling something that he calls development but young kids don't really know what that necessarily is and they definitely don't like how it feels. But I have to admit, that part may be conjecture as I haven't personally asked any of the 11 or 12 year olds lately.

Station, I was wondering the same thing, Fowl could be BF himself or his associate PE. Who in their right mind could be so disillusioned?

I was told the shit show continued with a solid 14-0 loss. That is a good life lesson for those kids.

Bear kids were SQ A prior year.. thats a pretty big jump, plus top 2 Riptide kids from last year's team are not Flyers. I'm sure they will continue to develop but it's going to take time.

Oh ok, I think you are right, I heard about one of their kids moving out of state. Well good luck to all...not sure how everyone is ranking this division just yet, I'm sure there is still plenty of hockey to watch before anyone makes any predictions.
-
without ranking, here's how I see the SCAHA AA teams. I've only seen GSE play for up North and they will be a top 8 team too. There will probably 4 Nor Cal and 4 So Cal teams making playdowns. Will be a great battle between the those "next 7" teams.
Top 2
Wave 1
Jr Kings 1
Next 7
Saints
Jr Kings 2
Wave 2
Bears
OCHC

Jr Ducks 2
That would be a solid peewee AA division!

Not thrilled with CAHA getting rid of games at the tier level.

How many CAHA weekend for each team?
How do the SCAHA regular season games count in the season, no longer exhibition?
Will a combo of the CAHA weekend games and SCAHA season games set up the Playdowns?

Sadly none of this is spelled out anywhere it's all just rumor now. Yes I heard we will only have 2 CAHA weekends and SCAHA games will all count. I can't find it anywhere on CAHA or SCAHA sites.
-
It not that complicated.
North teams will play in all CAHA weekends. South teams will play in two. You will only go North once. If you're lucky, you'll end up with two South weekends. There will not be South vs South games when traveling to North CAHA weekends.
SCAHA scheduled games will be listed as "game" which count towards CAHA standings, or "EXH", which are just exhibition games.
One game vs each CAHA team will count towards the standings. You will know which games count before hand.
top 8 CAHA teams make Playdowns. So it could be 5 from the North and 3 from the South.
Your manager should have relayed this info to you

This is interesting information. In terms of Scaha, I have looked at the Bantam and Peewee schedule and have yet to see any game listed as any type other than "Game". Is there an expectation that there will be a significant number of Exhibition games coming down the road?
This also doesn't really explain how the merging of records will work. For example, there are 12 teams in Scaha at Peewee AA, and 5? Teams in Norcal. Is the expectation that the final record will be {division_league_points} + {caha_points} = final_standings?

[/size] I think the problem people have with trying to understand CAHA standings is that they keep looking at it as two different schedules. The SCAHA website really doesn't matter for standings, it only shows South teams. You need to see your team as a CAHA team, 17 teams (12 South, 5 North), 16 scheduled games will count towards your standing, one against each team. the second time you play the same team, it's considered and exhibition game.

Great explanation area51. Is this spelled out anywhere on either the scaha or caha site?

Great explanation area51. Is this spelled out anywhere on either the scaha or caha site?
It's how Tier has always been with the only change being less CAHA weekends for South teams and having SCAHA now games count towards your CAHA standings. I've heard of South teams playing in Vacaville for a CAHA weekend and only playing other South teams. what's the point of having to travel for that? Better to use that weekend and money spent for an out of state tournament were you can play some different teams.
This was discussed at the CAHA meeting and sent out in emails from CAHA.
-
I fully understand the way things worked last year, where Scaha games were essentially all scrimmages. I also understand the complaints about the cost of travel and lodging in Vacaville only to play 3 teams that are 10 minutes away from you, and that makes total sense to me. We had a number of teammates from years past who played AA last season, and pointed out how annoying it was when it happened to them. Seems that they heard the complaints and this hybrid system does seem to be an improvement, as well as focusing on North v. South for CAHA. It also opens things up for south teams to use their spare weekend to travel.
From time to time, I just like to read the existing rules and documentation for myself. I don't receive emails from CAHA or Scaha for that matter ;) There have been plenty of times where rules that seemed simple at first glance were open to interpretation.
-
Wow Area51!!! I didn't think you paid attention at the meetings. I thought you were there for the food. Good job!!!

Thank you for the clarification, you spelled it out pretty clearly.

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... ???

One name - Ben Frank. From what I read on the PW A Thread.

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

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

Disregard, I was thinking of the Gulls program.
-
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?
-
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.
-
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.
-
Does anyone know how many total games each PeeWee AA team will play for the 2016/17 season under the new CAHA/SCAHA format? Last year most PeeWee AA teams played 16 CAHA games and 13 SCAHA games?

Good luck to our So Cal teams (Jr Gulls/Mickey D's/Wada Wave/Saints) making the trip this weekend to CowTown.
Drive/fly safe.
Happy hour will be in the parking lot,

Good luck and I hope your cars don't get broken into like every year.

Hope everyone made it back from Cow Town safely. Cow Town was not as bad as people have previously stated. Hotel was good, in the arena parking lot. Very convinient. The town was nice and clean. No car break ins (as far as i know) .
Congrats to Mickey D's and Wada Wave for going 3-0-1 for the weekend.
Mickey D's played very well moving the puck very well.
WW had 3-0 lead with 3 min to go in the game vs Sharks. Let in 3 unanswered goals in that time salvaging a 3-3 tie.
Looking forward to seeing there 2 teams play each other. They have played each other twice before, splitting the two games
Both GSE teams looked equally good. Move the puck well and were physical.
From what I've seen , these are the 4 top teams. JMO

I promised myself that I would only read some of the stuff and never respond but enough is enough. I understand that this trans guy has a son on the wada wave team, his kid isn't part of their top two lines but this guy seems to think the Wave are going to be the next next expansion team in the NHL. I've watched them play, 6 very good kids and an 8 ft goalie who doesn't move.
Pistonkev, you are all over this board everyday, do you live for this site or are you the administrator? Your kid plays on Bantam AA in Valencia and he should be playing Bantam B for the heat. Keep out of the PW pages troll
Where are the Bears parents at? Did D Kim get fired yet? Here's a guy who had not 1, but 2! AAA 04 teams taken away from him at tsc. Nice $40 an hour to skate around his little stick in the corner of pick wick.
My Kings will end up the top team in AA.
Pistonkev PLEASE post where your kid plays, he's not a pwaa, Go back and swing from Pavel's fruit sack. Weirdo

SWEET !! FRESH FISH......FRESH FISH ....
I hope that you don't always wake up this angry every morning. Did the pool guy leave a extra scent to clorine bleach around the Mrs while you were at work ? Or did something taste a little "different" last night ?
Either way, you are correct, my boy sucks. Skates like a freak'n horse. It is what it is. When the two teams play, when your kid dusts the snow off of himself, take his number, because he'll probably be asking my boy for a job in a few years.

Teams are viewed as a whole, from all the posts I have seen from Trans (even when it goes against my kids team) they are credited or discredited as a team. For you to flat out call specific kids out makes you a DOUCHE in my book. Agree or disagree...it is a discussion forum, live with it or go pay for some therapy.

As a Kings parent myself I have to admit the Westside post is especially embarrassing for me. For a guy who "only reads some stuff" you took it to a new level.
To call out a child is a shitty thing to do publicly.
For the other points you make I guess it's your opinion. If they were mine I would keep them to myself. You know what they say about Karma.

Westside, if you are a hockey parent, you should have signed a parent code of conduct and realized that this is as public a forum as watching a game at a hockey rink. The kids can come and read what "adults" are posting. You should seriously be ashamed of yourself. You should see if the admin can retract your posts and/or you should be banned.
The bantam age specific module has a chapter about kids developing a sense of self. If one of those kids directly or indirectly reads your comments, it pretty much amounts to online bullying. Whatever insecurities and anger you are harboring, you should keep it away from other people's kids and maybe reflect on how you interact with your own, if you do in fact have some.

Exactly! but, I have never seen anything assholy from P-Kev. And Tranny might be a dick sometimes, but he is pretty much the oracle on the weekend picks!
As for westside or "D Bag", calling out specific kids is bullshit. This forum is for parent shit talking about a fuckin game. Lighten up Francis! Who cares what the thread we are in, most of us have multiple kids in different levels and some on different teams.

Maverick, your a loser. You think it's 'ok' for a parent to handicap youth hockey? I call it as I see it, Pistonkev has no business in the PWAA forum It's kinda creepy that he watches games that his kid doesn't play in. My AA kings own the division and the rest of you are jealous. Now go run to Pavel Piston. Trans go back on Facebook and tell us again how great you kid... I mean team is!!!
I'm a new fish? I'm a fu!ckin shark bitc$s.. My Kings are all bite.

If your kid is playing AA, where have you been? I've seen it all in youth hockey Westside (cough) I mean D'Bag. If your biggest problem is handicapping games then you don't know shit. It's parents like you that ruin this sport. I'm sure somebody will figure out your kids name. There's only so many kids on that team, and probably every person that posts knows half of them.
We all have friends whose kids play the sport, we all live in ice rinks, and most of us love the sport. It is a given we are going to see other games and kids at other levels play.
I always thought Jr King parents were some of classiest, but I guess some trailer trash got mixed into that team. I feel bad for the other families and I'm sure as hell glad I don't have to travel to Quebec with you or your kid.
Welcome to the board, I hope it doesn't impact your kid or the team he skates for this year or next. It is a small community.

I thank you for confirming my initial assessment of you being a DOUCHE. Seems to me you are either bitter or trying to live vicariously through your kid, how sad. Again try some therapy, it may do wonders for some of those internal issues you seem to have.

Find. It hard to believe your a JK parent. If so I feel sorry for the people I know on that team, good people.
But if you are, you seem to have a short memory as to what the outcome of the last game between. The WW/JKs was

Westside is Friday's entertainment on what would otherwise be a quiet morning. He crossed the line with his trash talking and for a second there, it seems you have also typed faster than your brain.
At this point, Westside clearly likes the attention. From his tone, he could very well be some kid trying to get adults roused up which can be enjoyable for a kid since it makes them feel as if they are at the same level.

Westside is Friday's entertainment on what would otherwise be a quiet morning. He crossed the line with his trash talking and for a second there, it seems you have also typed faster than your brain.
At this point, Westside clearly likes the attention. From his tone, he could very well be some kid trying to get adults roused up which can be enjoyable for a kid since it makes them feel as if they are at the same level.
We can all laugh but calling out coaches trying to make a living and kids that play on teams isn't cool. But hey it isn't all bad, he has lit up the board the most since Zamboni Driver. Maybe he'll announce who your kid is next.

Don't be mad because my kid is on the best AA team in SoCal. Next year he will be wearing the purple and Gold making dad proud. West side is always the best side. Hand job boni go pay for lessons for ur sorry azz kid. Mine don't need them! Now go back with Tranny and Pistonkev and dream about Jr Kings hockey. Sorry azz parents. Wave hockey, wave goodbye.

This has to be some kind of joke and id wager Westside has no kid on any Kings team and he's more likely to be a disgruntled guy whose kid was not picked by the Wave. The field narrows on suspects.

If your kid is playing AA, where have you been? I've seen it all in youth hockey Westside (cough) I mean D'Bag. If your biggest problem is handicapping games then you don't know shit. It's parents like you that ruin this sport. I'm sure somebody will figure out your kids name. There's only so many kids on that team, and probably every person that posts knows half of them.
We all have friends whose kids play the sport, we all live in ice rinks, and most of us love the sport. It is a given we are going to see other games and kids at other levels play.
I always thought Jr King parents were some of classiest, but I guess some trailer trash got mixed into that team. I feel bad for the other families and I'm sure as hell glad I don't have to travel to Quebec with you or your kid.
Welcome to the board, I hope it doesn't impact your kid or the team he skates for this year or next. It is a small community.

Who is laughing? Maybe you missed my post earlier on about parent code of conduct.
I try to maintain a certain level of anonymity, so an announcement would be unlikely.

I should have had my stud tryout for 05 AAA He's an 05 and can skate circles around those sorry kids, besides the current 05 aaa team has played like 5 games this year and didn't make playoffs in AA last year. Don't worry 05aaa Kings. My son is coming to save you from getting beat down by the ducks all year. The AA kings would embarrass the 05 aaa kings. The wave are going down. Trans gender get ur kid more lessons. He will need it.

Calling out coaches is what this board is about. We as parents need to know who to keep our kids away from. You should ignore one or two complaints about a coach but, pay attention to the body of work. I have never heard a good thing about the coach he called out...
As for calling out kids indirectly or directly is bad form and he needs to evaluate why he would do such a thing.

Try "YOU'RE" for you are....as in reference to someone, "YOUR" as in belonging to or associated with.
Just trying to help, at first I thought it was just an error but I see that it is continuously being done. ;)
-
Always an English major in the gallery. I'm done here. Bunch of wasted time. Go back to paying your over paid coaches for terrible lessons. You will never have the class I possess nor the talent level of my child. GKG. Purple and Gold next year. Don't be jealous Wave Tranny make sure you get off with hand job boni. Maybe Pistonkev can handicap how many strokes it takes hand boni to make you bust! Haaaaa

It's being done on purpose at this point in an attempt to hide his identity. In a day or so, as the room gets tighter around him, he'll delete his account and all of his comments. The most telling aspect, though, is the beef with Daniel Kim. Venture down that rabbit hole and you've found your man...
-
Mickey D's. Wada. Bickley, they all suck. They steal your $$$. Kings keep the best coaches ;)
Next year the 05s will be the best around I shall return then! Until then keep shoving cash down the coaches throat maybe ur kid will play.

Douche'side is a Goalie Dad.
Rumor 'round the campfire is that he once sent dick picks out to other parents.
Also heard his significant other has a taste for other hockey Dad's because he couldn't keep her happy.
We know who you are.
Those in the know will connect the dots. No need for posting a first and last name even though he likes to attack kids online like the loser troll that he is .

Keep tryin

Would the moderator allow me to change my handle to "Hanjobboni"? I kinda like that name better. And it is true, I do have sorry azz kids.
This is the most entertaining this board has ever been. We are either in the presence of a genius who is punking us all, or, if real, someone with serious metal and emotional issues.

Hi all. I can say with 100% certainty that this is not a parent on the JK PWAA1 team. I think that it's most likely someone just wanting to get people riled up but in no way shape or form is this something that one of our parents would do. All our kids in the SoCal hockey world have been playing together for years and I think absent the random chirp here or there, all of us have a great deal of respect for one another. So, please know that this poser is merely trying to get some attention on a Friday night. The more attention you give him, the more he will spout his lies.

I think we all collectively figured that out after his 2nd or third post. We know who he is and I will drop his personal info if he keeps up with the troll-like Shenanigans.

Maverick, your a loser. You think it's 'ok' for a parent to handicap youth hockey? I call it as I see it, Pistonkev has no business in the PWAA forum It's kinda creepy that he watches games that his kid doesn't play in. My AA kings own the division and the rest of you are jealous. Now go run to Pavel Piston. Trans go back on Facebook and tell us again how great you kid... I mean team is!!!
I'm a new fish? I'm a fu!ckin shark bitc$s.. My Kings are all bite.
"You're a loser" not your a loser.
-
Creepy? Watching games your kid is not playing? How weird are you?
I'm Canadian. Canadians will wander into any rink, anywhere, get a bad machine made coffee, (or if they're lucky they already have a Tim's) and sit down and watch whatever game is on. Mites, Midgets, makes no difference. We've done it in more places than I can count.
We're going to watch a Bantam AA game tomorrow where my son has friends on both teams. Is that creepy too?
Hockey used to be the sport where the parents were the most normal. Maybe that's changed.

Right! So because I watched a couple games my friends kids are on the team. My son's games happened to be right after also. Super creepy. :o

I probably need to be on a registry somewhere then. I used to watch High School and college PRACTICES in the 80s. Didn't even have a kid yet.

What is the single season record for most penalties on a Goalie? ;)
-
Let's just assume that people have guessed the identity of a recent controversial poster correctly.
Let's not let this turn into a case where people violate the same rules that others have been critical about previously. Two wrongs don't make a right, and there is no excuse to start bringing kids into the discussion, no matter how antagonistic the prior discourse.
-
Why the name calling. You guys are Bullying me lmfao. What a bunch of losers. You all wish you were on my team. Bunch of weird jealous freaks. It's the Kings and then the rest. Deal with it. Quebec? I can't wait to go. What's the matter Trans Wave. Can't afford the trip? Oh that's right, your team ain't good enough. Piston kev please only post in ur kids division. GKG. Socal hockey parents are a bunch or keyboard Rambos. I'm a douche? Lol ok Losers.
Didn't the Kings play the Wave in a tournament recently? How much did the Kings win by? With all your smack talk must be like by 15 points.
These two teams have played twice. Memorial. Day won by JK , Labor Day won by WW.
Teams are pretty evenly matched. Either team can beat the other on any given day. At this point in the season I would give a slight edge to JK.
-
And somehow... I now miss Westside.
-
Probably because it is the most action the PWAA boards has seen in a while, the discussions don't seem to last.

I don't about that, Stan The Man.
The JDs came to play without an ounce of fear, tip of the cap to them. WW came to play "expecting" to win by just showing up. Not gonna happen. This is Tier Hockey. There are not too many kids out there that cannot skate. Gut check time for WW.

Maybe that group of 04's should consider playing down. Pretty tough sledding against the heavy 06 team? ;)

Yeah, PWA is exactly where that group should be. ?????

That Wave team is pretty damn good, but from previous encounters when WW played my son's team, I'd have no problem sending their parents down to PWA. What a bunch of douchebags. I can't imagine how they would have acted losing to an almost all 06 team. Any fights in the parking lot after the game? Any one get hit with a beer bottle?

Everyone knows the WW parents don't fight.

I've have always appreciated the Wave parents commitment to the tailgate. Pretty much AAA Elite

Pocket Rocket was amusing this week but he's no Westside. ;)

I have to 100% agree with Panther Coach's post.
-
Good to see team Tecate Light back in the win column. Was worried we were going to have riots at East West if they lost.
-
I miss pimpinpick. Wish he would come back. I think he ran off with 1sexypuck she was great too.

Mickey did.

How bad was it? Did either of them make it out of round play?
-
BIG weekend coming up for some So Cal teams. Better win at least 2 games or kiss playdowns goodbye.
-
McD Kings: 1-1-2 (Full roster I hear...)
GSE: 1-2-1
OCHC: 1-3 (Missing two key players)
No Cali team made it out of round play.
Cleveland Jr Lumberjacks (AAA), the eventual champs, went 7-0-0 and were damn good, but didn't look unbeatable in my opinion, they beat the finalist Nickel City Sons from Ontario 3-0 to win it all. Lumberjacks were in same bracket as OC and beat them 5-0 but the game was closer than the score indicated. I'm still surprised they beat out some of the other teams that had kids that were simply gigantic... Some of them looked literally like midgets... I remember going up to a mom from Virginia Extreme asking her if these kids were bantams or midgets, she replied they were peewees. HC Dallas had a goalie that was at least 6'2, without skates and was pretty much a brick wall.
As advertised, this was one tough tourney...
-
My Nor Cal rankings
1/2. GSE1 ans GSE2 ......both Pretty even. I give GSE1 the nod. The diff is GSE1 has probably the best player in. PW Tier 2. And I believe he's an 05
3. Jr Sharks......scrappy team. Not as much skill as both GSEs but will keep coming at you. Kind of Team
You'll be scratching your head wondering how you lost/tied them.
4. COLTS
5. BLACKHAWKS
So Cal teams NEED to get 2 pts on bottom 2 teams or your done. COLTS are definitely tougher team of the 2
-
So we have:
JD1
JD2
Wave2
Kings2
SDIA
Which so-cal teams come out of this weekend in good shape?
-
So we have:

None, but maybe the JD2 and Wave2 can get a win or 2

Wasn't there to watch the game and the wife was suppose to roll the GoPro but my janky GoPro decided to act up and only able to film the 3rd period... Kings1's goalie had pretty good size and from what I heard the game was pretty even and both teams had their chances...
OCHC then went on to scrimmage Lady Ducks (14-16yo bantams? Not sure...) in the afternoon @ KHS and ended with a 2-2 tie. Encore scrimmage with the Lady Ducks again tomorrow at OC.

WAKE UP WESTSIDE !!!!!!!!!
I Believe your lil Luongo and my lil Gretzky play this week in BEAUTIFUL Paramount. Come over, have a beer and shoot the shit. Don't forget to bring lil Robertos resume.
What happened Westside ?????? Waited, had a cold beverage waiting for you.
Your boy had a really good game. Good positional goalie, lost it at the end beating the shit out of paddle. Your team played well.

Gap is closing . Most, if not all kids at this level have skill. With good coaching, kids will improve. Good to see. At the tier level teams should not be loosing by 5+ goals.

I heard the Bears were missing a top kid.

This PWAA thread is pretty slow lately. How did the PWAA teams do this weekend? Looks like a lot of close games at TSC with McDonald and Wada in the final (as expected). What happened outside of TSC? I think Ducks AA2 are starting to look pretty good. Is anyone able to shut down their top scorer?

I think everyone is preoccupied with the PeeWee A and Bantam thread these days! LOL!

Who won Wada or McDonald? If it was Wada, I sure hope there were boxes of Kleenex handy.

The Wave v JK game was very competitive and could have gone either way as expected. These 2 teams have developed quite a rivalry over the last few years and I'm sure that won't change anytime soon.
Nobody likes losing in the championship but it's all good, no tissues needed.
-
Game between WW vs Mickey D's was very even. PC was correct in saying it could have gone either way. In a game of mistakes Mickey D's made just 1 more mistake than WW.
Who said there's no crying in hockey ??

Mickey D's has a rep for some real eye leakers when they lose. Maybe it is not true, but that is what the kids are saying and they are the ones in the handshake line.

Who knows but I did hear there were a few hugs exchanged between the teams, kind of classy if you ask me. Maybe maturity is setting in.
-
There is significant mutual respect between the two teams, which is leading to several very competitive games between the two teams!
-
These are 12 year old kids and I have seen many red eyes after competitive games on several teams so I think it is more of a giving it all you got thing than a negative thing.
I would rather see a kid a little teared up after a game like that then laughing or fighting.
I know many of the kids on these two teams have personal relationships off the ice and they respect each other a lot and like somebody said above, several hugs and respect shown after.
Great game and look forward to many more to come.

That is a shocker. Were there some King1 kids missing?

Maybe the Saints are for real! 6-1....LOL!!!
-
Congrats to Saints ! As stated, gap is closing between top playoff teams and lower playoff teams (sorry playdowns). Will probably see more teams knock off teams that they couldn't touch at the start of the season. Most kids at this level have skill. Good coaches will get it out of them. Should be fun to watch down the stretch.

I think one of their key players is in penalty trouble. I am sure it is not permanent.

A few game misconducts and suspensions is more than 'penalty trouble'. It should be permanent, before someone really gets hurt.

Congratulations to the San Diego Saints for winning the International Silver Stick Las Vegas Regional. They went 5-0 with 24 goals for, 4 against and 3 consecutive shutouts to win the tourney! Great group of hard working boys! Well done!

I see Ducks 06 AAA team has been ranked No1 in the US.
Congratulations to the Ducks players and parents, thats a great result for California Hockey. I heard they went to Detroit and won the AAA showcase. Its nice to see Cal Hockey on the map.
-
The competition must not have been that strong in Detroit. Don't let the team names fool you. They hammered everyone, but yet were the worst performing Brick team this year if not ever!

Um, the 06 Brick team wasn't the 06 Ducks team, so that doesn't make much sense. No need to hate. Tournament was the real deal, and they kicked ass.
-
The 06 Ducks are a very good team that played good, not great competition in Detroit. Credit them for destroying the teams they played. Interestingly, the one strong team the Ducks played -- Honeybaked -- beat the Ducks.

Congrats to OC. Good win for them. In looking at the rest of their schedule. They really only have 2 tough games left. Can Make a good playoff run and make it in. Can be a tough 1st round opponent for anyone.

Saw some of the GSE1-JD1 game last night. Jd had GSE on the ropes, but couldn't close it out. Had some questionable called from the refs, Coaches/parents lost their heads. Then kids started taking dumb penalties, probably out of frustration. Coaches and parents getting tossed. Tough loss for the Jd1 kids after a really good effort.

-
Top 4 as expected, although not necessarily in that order.
I seem to recall a lot of posts at the beginning of the season saying that JD2 as an 06 team had no chance playing against 04's. Finishing somewhere just below the top four is where I and some others thought they would be at the end of the season.
-
JD2 doesnt seem to be an ordinary 06 team.....currently Ranked No1 in the US and i see just went to the North American Hockey Championships and came in 2nd.
Pretty great achievement and great for Cal Hockey.
-
Totally agree, great for them and So Cal hockey. The 05 Ducks made the AA playoffs last year, so not that out of the ordinary for the top Squirt birth year teams to do well in AA.
-

We'll see how the SS do when they get to Bantams, if they are still together.
-
Agree that Bantam is a better measure of what a player will ultimately be. Other teams start to close the gap at that age as well. However, Squirt age teams that are appropriately placed in PWAA are generally just fine by the time they get to Bantam.
-
So what are everyones outlook on standing predictions? Looks like the last few spots are in limbo.
Also noticed the score for the JK1 vs Wave1...were the Kings short? the score seems too lopsided and not normal for the Kings.
-
So what are everyones outlook on standing predictions? Looks like the last few spots are in limbo.
IMHO 1-6 are obviously set and playoff bound. There are only 2 playoff spots up for grabs and if OC takes care of biz and go 4-2 the rest of the way and Bears go 3-2, both teams would end up with 20 points and Bears will finish in 7th due to GDiff and OC sneaks in to take 8th... Wave2 would then be eliminated as they max out at 19 points.
-
OC should be able to do it...though they'll have to get past both GSE teams and the Junior Ducks that they lost to not that long ago. Good luck to the team. Should make for a few interesting weeks.
-

OC will have trouble with JD1. They are playing very well. The pressure the puck well. IMO playing much better than they did earlier in the season. They just lack that one kid to put the puck in the net.
-

I don't recall OC losing to JD1... Was it at a tournament? OC tied JD2 2-2 awhile back but I can't remember playing JD1. For OC to go 4-2, they have to beat Colts, Blackhawks, Flyers and JD1 and losing to GSE 1&2 (would be nice to steal one or tie one of the GSE's), which I think is reasonable and OC certainly has destiny in their own hands.
-
Well OC can thank the Flyers for imploding today. Flyers were up 4-2 with 2:20 left in the game, and just fell apart, allowing 3 goals in 2 minutes. Congrats to OC for their push, but that was a game they were very lucky to win.
-
Heard OC Flyers 5-4, wave2 ducks1 2-1. Any other scores?
-
Good luck to everyone on our last CAHA weekend in SJ.
Last two spots. Up for grabs. Calder Wave might need some Devine intervention to get in. Both OC/DaBears control their own destiny. First team to lose three games is probably out. With both teams having to play both GSE teams, it should be interesting.
Hopefully someone from both teams will keep us posted.
-
Bears play the following teams – Currently sitting at 14 points: Prediction – End up with 20 or 21 points
GSE1 – Potential Tie, GSE2 – Loss, Jr Sharks – Win, Blackhawks – Win, & SDIA – Win
OCHC play the following teams – Currently sitting at 14 points:
Colts – Potential Tie, GSE1 – Potential Tie, Blackhawks – Win, GSE 2 – Loss, & Jr Ducks 1 – Potential tie
Prediction: If the team players to their potential, should poll off 3 wins (Colts, Blackhawks, & Jr Ducks) – Puts them with 20 points, knocking Calder’s team out.
Should be some great games!!!! Good luck everyone!!!
-
Scores have been posted and OC and Bears both lost game #1. I thought OC would have beat Colts though.
-
Those 2 are now probably playing for the 8th seed. I would say DA BEARS. Calder Wave most probably 7th seed
-
My bad ...Bears still could get 7th.
Thought they lost to Blackhawks, they lost to GSE1
-

Yea, the road just got tougher for OC with that loss. Could come down to last games played!

I would take it that both DaBears/OC did not have good outcomes as no one has posted scores.

Yes, it's not looking so positive for OC... 3 games remaining and OC has to go 3-0 to make it.

It has been brought to my attention (by my wife) that my previous post might be misconstued as me taking a shot at WS kid. It is not, It's a dig into WS himself. I never have and never will call out an individual kid. Parents, especially smack talking ones are free game. As previously stated this board is basically a bunch of friends/acquaitances waiting for a buddy to say something dumb, then the fun begins.

Bears look to be playing well! lost to both very good GSE teams 3-2. Tough afternoon game vs the Sharks, Sharks didn't play this morning.
Yes, Bears put together a strong 2nd half of the season. They are a stingy team defensively, and can keep games close, even against teams that are much stronger. One of their best defensive players was suspended for the 4th game, and they managed to pull it together and get a win. SDIA is a scrappy bunch, but with only one game remaining the Bears are looking good for 7th.
Congrats to all the teams that made it, and good luck in the playdowns.

Are you referring to a scrimmage? based on CAHA GSE(2) has not lost a game.
-
The only thing listed on CAHA for AA teams are games against other CAHA AA teams. This was a USA Hockey sanctioned game for both teams.
2017-01-07 09:00 Golden State Elite Eagles (#2) AA Ice-Plex Escondido 6 - 1
2017-01-07 09:00 San Diego Jr Gulls 04 AAA Ice-Plex Escondido 1 - 6

Isn't this how it's supposed to happen? AAA should be better than AA. In years past, when anyone could have a AAA team, that wasn't the case. Now if they could just clean up AA. Bottom 6 teams should have been playing A, and you could argue it should have been 8-9 teams. It would have been great to play the true AA teams twice in the season.

OC over GSE 2. 4-3

Yes, OC pulled a Buster Douglas and obviously I'm a little biased but OC never backed down from GSE2 and answered back every time they scored. It was 3-3 going into the 3rd and OC hung in there and with 7 seconds left, OC had the puck and went straight at their D, with time running out, he took a wrister and the puck went 5-hole and took about a whole second for the puck to trickle pass the line... and the place erupted.
It was undoubtedly one of the biggest upset in CAHA and one of the most exciting finish I've ever seen. Sure it's now a little less special since Wada and his boys also took down GSE (Thanks guys LOL!), but to me and my son, it was one of his proudest and clutchest moment in hockey, scoring the tying and winning goal...
I stayed to watch Wada Wave vs GSE2 after we lost to the Bears and watching GSE2, a team that likely didn't learn how to lose this season, how upset their kids were after the 4-2 defeat, I felt bad for them. But I guess that's playoff hockey, nothing is guaranteed and any team can pull an upset, even a 9th seed team.
Good luck to Wave1, Jr Kings1, Bears and GSE1!!!

I think that was their 4th meeting this season and up till now WW had won them all. I heard WW had epic collapse and lost in OT. Nice come back for the Kings, gotta hand it to them for not quitting. Very talented group of kids.

Who had an off day? I was referring to GSE2 and the Wave...anyone can have an off day. After all they are 12 year old kids. All the teams moving on are strong teams and any of them can take it.
-
I wouldn't say the Wave had an off day at all, the Wave and JK teams are very competitive and have had some very tight games for awhile now. The Wave played a very strong game with a particularly strong 2nd period but the JK team didn't throw in the towel and battled back.
These 2 teams are very evenly matched overall and have proven that they belong exactly where they are along with the other 2 teams so I expect some very good games at the finals.
-
Mostly true, Wave beat kings 5 to 0 during regular season. Not really a close game.
-
This is playoffs (playdowns) ALL of the kids are skilled and anyone can beat anyone on any given day (ask GSE2)
I expect all games to be dogfights.
May come down to not who's more skilled but who's the best "team"
-
Mostly true, Wave beat kings 5 to 0 during regular season. Not really a close game.
Out of 4 games 3 came down to 1 goal and all of them could have easily gone either way. The 5-0 game was definitely the exception. Yes, they will all return to collect your player (money). ;D

The 5-0 game is a perfect example of how teams can have an off day....I am sure States will definitely be a battle.

6 to 1 against the Saints was another off day.

Wave vs LA Jr Kings will be a tough battle every game. Most of the kids have known each other and played with/against each other for years. Some even go to school together.
My only hope is that the games at states have consistent Referees and penalty calls - Too many of the penalities last weekend were inconsistent (to both teams). In these high emotion games, the kids have enough to deal with and don't need to ticky tacky calls happening, when other blatant penalties are let go.

Wave definitely had an off period at play downs, to put it mildly. Had the JK game in the bag, lights were out and jello was jiggling -- until they stopped playing and JK didn't to their credit. That happens with 12 year olds. It happens with NHLers. It's why they play the games. At this point in the season, any team can win or lose on any given day. Good life lesson for everyone.

In these high emotion games, the kids have enough to deal with and don't need to ticky tacky calls happening, when other blatant penalties are let go.
Yep, the refs at Escondido were average at best. Game between OC vs GSE1, GSE1 had 5 power plays vs OC's zero and OC lost 2-1... While the game between GSE2 and OC, refs 'let them play' and the only penalty all game was a boarding call on GSE2 which was too obvious to not call...

Hopefully CAHA will assign one set of refs and linesmen for the final weekend so we won't have more of the same Jekyll/Hyde officiating. Let the kids know how the games will be officiated and stick with it for god's sake. So much in-house reffing going on in Peewees last-weekend it was cringe-worthy.

Well ain't that the f'in truth. Reffs struggle to be consistent and they seem to choose who wins many of the games, not just between these two teams.

Sorry to change topic, but any word on coaches/teams for next season Peewee AA in OC/Lakewood areas?

Not sure about OC or Lakewood - but if you're willing to drive to El Segundo, I heard a certain coach there - formally of KHS - will get the club to pay for your kid if he wants him bad enough.
Wonder how the other parents on the team feel about that?

What are the Ducks doing for PWAA next year? If they follow past practice, they will have an 07 AA team, but that would leave room for only 1 other AA team, and they have 2 playoff bound A teams who could return the majority of their players?
Heard OC/Bickley will have a PWAA team out of Yorba Linda.

6607 - How's that going to work for OC? Does OC1 and OC3 have 05 kids that will be returning? Also, how many 05 kids are currently playing AA? I don't think it's as extreme as the Ducks, but sounds like a little shuffling is going to happen.
-
I think whichever coach for the 3 OC PW A teams that comes out on top for the season should get the bid for the next AA team at OC! After all doesn't a club want to produce a winning team at that level? It would promote business for them. That would be an interesting battle for the playoffs.

There are 2 05 kids that played on OCHC PWAA last yr

Any one of the 3 OCHC PWA coaches are qualified coaches and anyone of them could field a successful PWAA team

Has anyone heard what format CAHA weekends will take for next season. Scuttlebut was that it was returning to a prior format...

That would be good because we lost a bunch of games only having one weekend.

Indeed, I was a bit surprised you guys had the keg out for a Sunday morning 9:15am game. A bit early for me, but one has to respect consistency like that.
-
game was at 7:15, bar was open at 6 ;D

Best way to avoid a hangover is to keep drinking.

Congrats to the Wada Wave on their win in the "teams that were sent home by the Riptide last year" rematch game with the Jr. Kings and securing the 2016/2017 State title!!!

Agree good win for Wada, I guess it took a Riptide kid from last year to get them over the hump too.

Total team win. Boys always do thing the hard way. To show the character of these boys, when they called for the captain to go up and get their banner, the whole team went up.
Btw...no broken bones this post season. If the same could be said for last year, these boys would be sitting on back/back seasons. :)

If calling the Bantam open division A makes you feel better about avoiding former Riptide players then sure.
