Peewee AA 2017-2018

Or the scorekeepers were a family member of the home team!!

So what's the story? Heard the Coach was ejected from the game.. Doesn't seem to be a scorekeeper issue. Wasn't the alternative to have 2 officials as one was going to scorekeep? Seems like a parent stepped up for the benefit of both teams. After all.. wouldn't we all like watching our kids play vs being stuck scorekeeping?

Agree. Certainly didn't influence the outcome if the game. Maybe Norcal1 just meant it sucked that a family member got stuck...


Predictably GSE1 vs OC1 was a fun game to watch. Looked like solid Bantam play... 🤣  Missed it, but heard Saints vs GSE1 was even better. Some solid players & playmakers on all those teams - Bears included.

Our final game, the ref didn't show.  I'm sure we'll be getting a refund at some point. 

Flight2
-------- 
Reign, Kings2 and Gulls2 are eliminated.
Technically, OC2 could win, but they'd have to run the table and need the Flyers and ID to lose all their last 4 games.  Not going to happen.

Down to a 2 horse race, with ID's needing some help after Flyers won the CAHA rubber match convincingly.  Flyers need 5 points out of 8 to punch their ticket to the Flight1 playoff game, and that's only if ID's win their last 4.  With that said, Flyers do need to come in and take care of business, but could have things sewn up on Saturday if they do.

Flight 1
------
Big question for the Ducks2 is will they get a point before the season ends?  Peewee Hockey being what it is, anything is possible, but they are front loaded with tough games, and play GSE2 and the Hawks in their last 2 games, when both those teams may be playing for the final spot.

GSE1 has shown they're consistently able to come away with wins, have a healthy Goal Differntial lead, and although the Bears,  Ducks1, JK1 and Saints have all given them tough games they look comfortable.  Obviously the Saints are playing good hockey and showed their capability dealing GSE their first loss.  Still, GSE are clearly favorites and have 4 of their last 8 games vs. the bottom 4. 

Ducks1 have a lot of offensive talent and have demonstrated they could take 1st, and they are also front loaded with 2 bottom 4 games at Lakewood, but then they have to play OC1 and Saints.  Should be exciting. 

OC1, Saints1, Kings1 and Bears are all jockeying for position in the mid pack but should be able to get enough points to avoid the battle for 8th.  Should be a dog fight in the play downs.

Obviously, Gulls1, GSE2 and Hawks are going to be battling for 8th, although the Gulls look to be the strongest of the 3 by a substantial margin, and could gain some ground if the Bears, OC or even the Kings hit a significant skid.  Bears certainly can't be happy going 1-2 at KHS, but they have a Lakewood schedule that could see them gain back some ground if they play up to their potential.

The battle for 8th place should be very exciting, but it looks like GSE2 and the Hawks could easily come down to the wire.  The matchup at Lakewood will be huge for both teams, and with both teams sporting a -25 Goal differential, they don't look too far apart, although the eye test tells me the Hawks have a bit more offensive power.  If I was betting, I'd bet on the Hawks taking 8th.

Obviously the Saints are playing good hockey and showed their capability dealing GSE their first loss. 

Some background on the on the “Saints 1 – GSE 0” game.
 
  The score at the end of the game was 3-3.

• Post-game, CAHA changed the game 1-0.
• CAHA’s logic is that
•   The GSE coach had been ejected from the previous game vs. OC
• And was therefore not eligible to be on the bench for GSE’s next game vs the Saints
• Therefore, GSE takes the loss.

  This is an incorrect interpretation of the CAHA rules, here’s why –

•   When a ref ejects a coach from a game,
• Only if the ref also assesses an associated penalty, is the coach ineligible to be on the bench in the next game.
• In the OC game, the ref did not assess an associated penalty with the ejection

  Action is to CAHA to explain the logic of their decision or to revert the score to 3-3

Thanks for the explanation.  Didn't see the game but sounds like a good one, even if it ended as a tie.

[Norcal1]

The Saints are not a team to take lightly. The play extremely good D!!!

Thanks.  I thought I was the only one who saw 3-3 on the board at KHS.

I watched the GSE 1/OC 1 game.  GSE was assessed a penalty at the time the coach was ejected, to make it a 5 on 3 power play.  I don't know what the penalty was or to whom it was assessed.

Some of the GSE 1 players were very impressive in that game.

Anyone have any updates from Silver Stick in Vegas?

You are correct, the two penalties were for -

• Unsportsmanlike - assessed against a GSE player for moving a dropped OC player's stick. 
• Too many men - assessed against GSE for putting 5 players on the ice after the first penalty was called.

The GSE coach was ejected during the discussion with the ref and the OC coach about the logic of the penalties.
