Pee Wee A 2016-17

[Hockey sophist]

OC3 and Wildcats tied 2-2.  OC3 had the winning goal in final minute or two  waved off by ref without explanation.  Refused to even come over and talk to OC coach.   Very even game and refs let the teams play.  WC goalie VERY strong.  WC better than their record.  Just a shame from OC standpoint, though.  Tough road ahead with Runtso Ducks and Eagles.

   


Wow! Guess I missed a lot. I didn't even get my picks in.     I don't think WC is better than what their record shows.  They have lost all their games against all of the top 4 teams.  I think OC 3 is holding on by a thread.  Will OC3 get the 8th spot.  I think it will come down to the final games for OC3 and Kings 1 to see who gets that final spot.


Should be an interesting few last season games.  Good luck!  I always like to see the underdog move up in the standings. Makes for an interesting season.  The squirt season is quite boring this season I have to say.

Agree with 6607 WC are better than record.   Only team to beat OC1 this season.    OC1 bet Kings1 by score of 9-2.

Let me slightly rephrase what I mean.  No team is better than their record.  It is earned and factual.  But the same (or worse) won-loss record does not necessarily mean that a team with the same (or better record) is the better team when there is in imbalanced schedule.  If you look past the Wildcats' record against the Top 4 teams to their record against the top 10, the Wildcats have a better (or equal) record compared to several playoff contenders or playoff-clinched teams; for example, the Kings and the Maple Leafs.  And, yes, the Wildcats lost to the Top 4 teams, but unlike several teams, they had to play all 4 of the Top 4 teams.  Two of their "do not plays" are Wave 2 and Kings 2.  Let's take away games against Wave 2 and Kings 2 and sub in games against Top 4 teams and where might Kings 1 and MLs and maybe even OC1 be?

I'd agree that WC are a stronger team than their record would indicate.  The scores were close in most of their losses against the toughest teams, and they are the only team to beat OC1.  OC2 loss seemed anomaly in their record with a 6-1 loss.  With a current 4 pt difference from 1st to 8th, I think the whole "Top 4" comparison is out the window.  The only thing about being Top 4 is their playoff spot secure at this point.  Impressive division showing anything can happen on any given Sunday.  Should be an interesting couple of weeks to see who can fill out the Top 8.

Seriously, this round robin in a few weeks could be sick. Some good hockey on the horizon that's for sure.

[6607]

There is some pretty exciting hockey being played right now, too.  Congrats to the teams that have clinched, you have all earned it, and good luck to the teams still in the hunt!

[6607]

Looking ahead to the playoffs, here are the Top 9 team's records against the Top 9 teams:

Ducks 2: 4-1.  d/n/p Maple Leafs and OC1.  Still to play OC3
Bears: 4-3.  d/n/p Maples Leafs.
OC2:  2-2-2.  d/n/p Kings 1 and OC1
Ducks 1: 2-3-1. d/n/p Eagles and Kings 1
OC1: 3-0-3.  d/n/p OC2 and Ducks 2
Maple Leafs: 1-1-3. d/n/p Bears and Ducks 2
Eagles:0-2-3.  d/n/p Kings 1 and Ducks 1.  Still to play OC3
Kings 1: 0-4-1. d/n/p OC2, Eagles and Ducks 1.
OC3: 1-2-3.  Still to play Ducks 2 and Eagles

OC2 beat the Bears to win one of the PWA divisions in Phoenix.  Ducks 1 lost in semis to Bears.  A small OC3 squad made it to the semis in the other PWA division before losing to a bigger and better Colorado team that went on to take the championship.  Very good showing by the SCAHA teams.

Heard there may have been some parental misbehavior at the San Diego tournament.  Anyone got the details?

Oh boy, heard the same thing!  Anybody at SD Cal State Games, Escondido Iceoplex, PWA, Sunday 2/20/17, PWA game with pictures or story?

Allegedly a parent pushing/punching opposing team players and grabbing the goalie by his bucket?

Was given the opportunity to exit the arena in bracelets by 2 SD 👮 officers in a 4 door sedan with lights on top!

Pics & story please?!

OC2 beat Ducks1 4 to 0 in semi final then beat Bears 1 to 0 to win pennant

OC2 and Bears game was a lot of fun to watch as a disinterested spectator.  Well done by OC2.  Great to see such a close championship game.  Playoffs should be very competitive.

The bears tying goal being waved off by the official had a huge impact on the outcome of that game, to say the least. Two refs only in AZ, one was 25 feet away from the action and blows the whistle when he lost sight. Then skates over to retrieve the puck from the inside of OC's net. Long way to go to have officiating decide a game rather than game play.


But...what's done is done. Congrats to OC.

Would have been great to see the OT format! 4vs4 for 2 min running clock, then 3vs3 for 2 min running clock... And you guessed it, followed by 2vs2 for 2 min running clock! The other PeeWee A division had this happen right before the game! It was WILD to say the least!

[6607]

2 on 2 on Olympic Ice seemed like a crazy way to decide a championship to me!  Anyway, why was the Bears goal wave off?.  I was watching from the lobby and was far from that net.  Was it goalie interference?  Also thought the Bears should have pulled goalie sooner.

So we know at Phoenix OC2 took a championship, Bears a finalist and Ducks 1 and OC2 were semifinalists.  Heard Wave 1 won in Valencia?  How did everyone else do?

Hearing rumors of OCHC2 playing an unregistered goalie for the final game in AZ. Anyone have input on this?

[Avcadet]

Not true, OCHC2 has had only one goalie all season and he played all games. The lack of goals scored against shows that he did a great job
