Well the Flyers tried to fly too high and their wings got burned and they tumbled into the sea.  It's the ancient tragic tale of a classic case of hubris that plays out over and over in life even to this day.


It's the tale of a team that was made up of older kids that were better than yours, and outplayed and outshot your team in every game they played you, typically with the margin being 10+ shots.  The coach also played our 3rd line against your team -- a lot -  sorry to break it to you.  True story!  In your glorious victory at President's day, where you got out to a big lead and then held on for dear life, all your goals were scored against the 3rd line, except for a PP goal.   You did score any number of PP goals against us, and candidly, our PK was not good all year, and I think we could have done a lot better but it was never prioritized as something we should practice for, unfortunately.


Your goalie is really good and kept you in a lot of games.  Loved watching that kid compete, and truthfully i admire the compete of most of your kids going up against our mostly older kids... yet I digress. 


Anyways, we won the opportunity to have a one game winner take all playoff vs. the flight1 8th place team and then went up and won that playoff, winning the opportunity to play in the play downs as #8.  We had no interest in a Flight2 playoff against teams we had already beaten numerous times, as it didn't seem like much of an achievement to win. 


At the start of the season, we had a reasonable goal of making the Flight1 playoffs.  Due to circumstances beyond our control our team was placed in Flight2, but we overcame that obstacle, and got to the play downs.  In doing so, any reasonable competitor of ours should have been congratulating our kids and rooting for us, as it gives credibility to your results, but I realize that is not how you roll.


Out of our 2 play down games, we were in one we played close, had many scoring chances and might have won, but did not.  Not at all a bad way to end the season.  We made the CAHA play downs and you played in a consolation SCAHA tournament that was hatched partway through the season.

As to how CAHA looks at this,  as we both had the unfortunate experience of being experimental offering for the new flight system, the powers that be put so little thought into it, that they didn't even code the statistics system to keep track of Flight2 team scoring in the playins, play downs, or the Flight2 tournament.  That is the last laugh, and it was on both of us.


sorry to break it to you but our coach played our third line against you too. A lot. That's how hockey players are developed, if you have to bury your third line against better teams (in your case kids the same age as yours) then you're doing it wrong.  And somehow I doubt your coach shortened the bench to give your third line more time in the President's Day tourney when you were down 5-1 to us in the 2nd period.  What happened in the other playdown game?

ICADAD - Go with whatever helps you sleep at night!  Your 05 lost to a group of 07's.  Two other times they barely defeated them.  Also hate to break it to you, but the goalie for the Kings wasn't making saves while the kids were putting the puck in your net.  Good luck in Bantams!

oh - and please do tell us how you lost to the Jr. Grizzlies at Presidents Day?  Did they too have a bunch of no good 07's and the best goalie in the world?  They were crushed by the Seattle team that barely defeated the Kings 07.  Was your third line playing for the Grizzlies that day?

Congratulations to Wave 1 on their SCAHA championship!  It sounds like it was an amazing game.  Good luck to both teams as they head up north!

Good luck to Wave 1 and Gold Rush as they drive inland!

Stockton Colts won Peewee A.  Undefeated season in league and playoffs. Although a couple close calls to California Cougars.


Impressive.
