Peewee AA 2017-2018

[lcadad]

The 2016-2017 hockey season is complete, and Tier 2 tryouts are right around the corner are now over!


I will dutifully update this list with any information people want to share with me, just PM me, sources appreciated.


Summarized Relevant CAHA rules 2017-2018

• Tier 2 Tryouts June 2-4
• Minimum roster 15 (includes goalies).  August 15 deadline.
• PDR: 25% from within club (4 player minimum)
• Recruitment blackout:  Season is over, so I assume that it's open season now.
• Return to pre-2017 season CAHA weekend system

CAHA also dropped this bomb on the CAHA website:


NOTE: If you disagree with these changes you can sign this petition requesting they be abandoned

Dear CAHA Associations and Members,


In a continual effort to improve our league the CAHA Board of Directors appointed a special Tier Committee to assess the Tier II (AA) division in hopes of improving competitiveness and address ongoing concerns of our membership. Based on their recent proposal, the CAHA Board of Directors voted in favor of the below changes Tier II for the 2017/2018 season.


All teams that wish to declare 12u, 14u or 16u Tier II (AA) must attend the CAHA Labor Day Jamboree in San Jose, CA September 1-4, 2017. Teams may also be required to participate in 2 weeks of local ‘pre-season’ games. Following evaluations teams will be placed accordingly as follows:
1.   Placed in top flight of division
2.   Placed in bottom flight of division
3.   Removed from the Tier II division (dropped to ‘A’)


All teams shall play each team within their respective flight during CAHA mandated weekends.


At the conclusion of the regular season, the 1st place team in the top flight will automatically advance to State Championships. Playdowns will include the 2nd – 8th place teams in the top flight. The top team in the bottom flight will have a chance to compete for the final playdown spot.


Additional details will be available following the June CAHA Board of Directors meeting.


All Tier II teams must meet the feeder and PDR requirements as previously set forth by the CAHA Board of Directors. These changes do not include the 18u division.


We hope this information helps prepare your organization for the upcoming tryouts and teams declarations. Please feel free to contact your local league President or myself, Laura Cahn, with questions.

Good info.  It may be helpful to a lot of readers if some one spelled out what the CAHA weekend system will be and how that interacts with the SCAHA schedule.

It may be helpful to a lot of readers if some one spelled out what the CAHA weekend system will be and how that interacts with the SCAHA schedule.

The old format was that all SCAHA games were played as exhibitions only. 4 separate CAHA weekends were held and those games count towards the playoffs.

Does SCAHA still issue an exhibition schedule or do teams have to set exhibition games up themselves?

SCAHA will issue a schedule normally 11 to 13 games. CAHA weekends 4 or 5 games each weekend.

SCAHA should schedule 16-19 games between pre-season, reg season and exhibitions. CAHA will schedule the CAHA weekends. Each team has to play every team once during the season, which counts in the standings. Exhibition games are just extras and are usually when you play the girls teams.
Tier teams play as CAHA teams, only the CAHA schedule counts. Don't worry about the SCAHA website once the full schedule is up on CAHA.
This year was great with the South teams only playing North teams on CAHA weekends. Saves on travel and gives you the opportunity to do more tournaments. I've been told that in the past, when all teams have had to attend the CAHA weekends, you could travel to Nor Cal and end up playing only So Cal teams. Some have made the arguement that they don't get as many games as the old format, but you have to pay for CAHA weekends just like tournaments. My sons Peewee AA team played 67 games this season.

Berge has done a fantastic job with the WSHL team in Valencia. His team is playing for the Thorne cup next week in Utah.


Glad he's taking the time to work in the youth program. Read about him here:
