Predictions for AA?

[Rub One Out]

With greater emphasis being placed on concussion protocol and avoidance,  how is USA Hockey not addressing this? I know they aren't going head to head and there isn't full blown tackling like football, but crushing a smaller kid into the boards has resulted in serious injury. Does it come down to parental choice and buyer beware?

Let's get back on track here.

So the new Flight system was to keep teams from getting blown out right?

Valencia 9- BF Wildcats 0

Simi 7 Ducks that should be A 1

Wada who is flight two ties Flight one Wave 3-3

Can someone tell me the Kings score?

Sounds like Flight 1 will enjoy a competitive season.
Top 2nd flight teams get hosed.  1. Lack of competition, 2. wasted money going to Vacaville and San Jose to play same So. Cal teams again, 3. One tiny shot at 8th seed for all of them to fight over. How nice it was for CAHA to decide that 7 of 8 teams are guaranteed to never see playdowns.

Laura Cahn says "It's too late to cancel November. And we can't cancel San Jose...What a shame it would be for the season to end in January."

If your team is #2-8 in flight2 by January, do you really care if it's over?  You would have had the same number of games played by then as you would have by the end of February.

And if you're #1 in flight2, your season isn't over in January.

Yeah but all those Flight 2 parents get to tell everyone that their Lil 70 pounder is playing Bantam AA! That's worth it right?  right?   

Honestly I have seen small kids in both flights...all you can hope for is that they have sufficient speed to move and know when to pass the puck.


Every single team has small kids....not sure what the overall weight range is.

There are exceptions both ways. I've always thought of the idea of maybe having a 3rd year of peewee, and by then the kids may ballace out a bit more.

[Rub One Out]

Maybe they should just go back to checking in PeeWee. Most of the kids haven't hit puberty by age 11.

Most intelligent thing I read in here today. Other than LC bashing. She earned it

i swear the kids are getting smaller and smaller...

there really should be height and weight minimum for the bantam level. What happens when you get, one of the smallest 04 and they end up going against one of the bigger 03 it is down right dangerous. I know a lot of kids go in into Bantam from peewee with out any checking clinics or classes or the new coach does not work with the new bantams on checking at all and then you get a Major Bantam with a year of checking under his bet, it doesn't look good for little johnny versus big johnny. Im very surprised there isn't  more injures.

Because you can never have enough laws or enough rules.

I would be happy if the ref's just followed the rules they already have.

I think OCHC (2) should also be in this conversation.

You're such a tool! 3 clubs in 4 years and already quit again - never make playoffs? common denominator? Have fun paying dues for nothing.  Yes, OC2 is a minor year team with a few exceptions.  One Dec 03, One who never played ice (only roller) and a kid on his 3rd year in skates.  OC 1 last year went through the same process and now are in the running for the top 3-4 teams.  OC2 just lost to Empire in a game that was 2-1 going into the 3rd.  There's a huge difference in size between many of these kids and OC2 held their own until falling apart at the end.  I'm sure the Empire group didn't feel like it was a total waste of time.  Next week won't be any easier but they will get better just like Wada, Kings 2 and Ducks.  BYE TOOL

Why repost this?  Did you have anything to add or just stirring the pot?  Trying to keep up activity on the BN AA thread perhaps?

[JakesDad01]

I kind of finding it amusing. Reminds me of some Little league parents.  Bickering about who is best instead of letting the kids play and decide it.

Actually the comment that went with the quote was removed I think. The comment stated that another poster was actually a coach and named the coach along with the poster's personal history with the coach.

Interesting. Well, the entire post is gone now so there you go.
