Pee Wee AA 2018-19

[lcadad]

USA Hockey model association rules REQUIREMENT is that Peewee teams have maximum of 14 skaters/2 goalies. Look it up. JK making a mockery of the designation they just applied for and received by openly ignoring this and many other basic, objective requirements (game/practice ratios, # of games, # hours of practice, station based practices, etc.). Dishonest.

Well stated!

[HockeyGuy-99]

maybe this should be a separate topic. USA Hockey promotes the Model Association tag for organizations which “fully implement programming dedicated to age-appropriate, age-specific skill development in accordance with USA Hockey's American Development Model throughout the 8-and-Under, 10-and-Under and 12-and-Under age classifications.” The application process requires an applying organization to certify that it “shall” implement a number of objective requirements at every age level. Most of the objectives are REQUIRED, while a few other at each age level are “recommended” The checklist is right here: https://assets.ngin.com/attachments/document/0047/5580/KM_checklist_v6.pdf  Read it yourself.

JK doesn't meet many of the requirements. Just look at their rosters, game/practice schedules and program descriptions (click on the "What is Included" links here: https://www.jrkingshockey.com/faq). Examples: ADM requires a minimum # of practice hours per week and season; most JK teams don’t get that much ice time. ADM limits number of games at squirt to 35/season, and 40/season at PeeWee; most JK teams annually exceed the max by 25-50%.  ADM requires 11-12 skaters per team at squirt, 11-14 skaters at PeeWee; most JK teams exceed those numbers. ADM requires station-based practices, with written practice plans, approved and kept by Hockey Director; JK doesn’t do it. ADM recommends at least three days off over Thanksgiving; JK requires most teams to play in their own tourney that weekend. ADM mandates “equal playing time for all players”; JK . . . well . . . .

Am I picking on the JK a little? Yeah, but only because they chose to go out of their way to represent themselves as something they are not, which cheapens the value of the Model Designation for those clubs who actually try to follow the ADM guidelines. Shameful and hypocritical.

WHAT?!?  But the Jr Kings were just added to the USA Hockey list of Model Associations?!?  Oh... you mean that's total nonsense when looking at actual facts?!?

Yeah, back to the topic at hand... allowing 20 kids on a PW roster is shameful and ridiculous. Oh, and I wonder how the USA Hockey ADM model handles pushing Squirts up an entire division to play against kids two years older than them? USA Hockey probably endorses that, right? Because that's good for the kids and the league on a whole, right?

Mites aren't allowed to play up anymore because we are very concerned about their development but we will let Squirts play PeeWee Tier hockey1.  Money Money Money!

Last year had GSE1... but PWAA had many more contenders (Bears, OCHC, Kings 1, Gulls 1, etc.).  This year seems weak after the first 3.  However, though... there are really teams with 20 players???  At PWAA???

Yes that is the new hotness.  It works best when you sign, and then 5 new players show up when practices actually start.   

Rule 201 Composition of Teams (a) A team must start a game with a minimum of six players. Any time that a team has been reduced to less than four players, the game shall be declared a forfeit. A maximum of 20 players, in which not more than 18 are skaters, shall be permitted to play in the game.


We should raise the number to 30 kids to allow for "Healthy Scratches"

Hear ye!  Hear ye!  Hear ye!


Good citizens of CAHA-sanctioned territories and the Greater Vacaville Meth Lab Regions!  Friends and unhinged Ducks 06 parents!  I, Kangaroo Jack, CAHA Senior Vice President of Shenanigans & Tomfoolery, do hereby declare the 2018/2019 hockey and mid-day drinking season underway!


As much as it disgusts me… as much as it causes my skin to crawl… I will first shift my focus from the AAA future-Gretzky and lil’ Corey Perry utopia to the cesspool that is AA.  Oh, you say I’d get more games at AA?  Not interested.  You say local competition is really good at AA?  I spit in your face.  You say AAA is too expensive?  I say it’s NOT expensive enough!


So if CAHA endorses 20 kids for one PW AA team… I ask why not 23?!  Why not 26?!  As a staunch follower of the ADM Tailgate & Pregame Booze Hound Model, these guys and the large-calved gals from the armpit of Cali really know what they’re talking about!  So all you AA parents just shut up and be happy that my fine friends at CAHA allow you the privilege to play hockey in our beloved, honest and tooooootally transparent league.


As a side note, all kickbacks and greasy payments are due BEFORE the Annual Jamboree & Organizational Shakedown is underway.  No late payments accepted.


Back on topic… I declare the 20 kid excessive roster talk finished!  And any further complaints can be sent to CAHA Headquarters care/of SHRED IMMEDIATELY.


That’s it.  My first order of business is complete.  Now I can go back to the NHL breeding ground that is PWAAA.  Yup, that’s right.  The Ducks 06 are back.  Hobo Village is open for business.  And after a long, long break of acting like they’re not really playing hockey, the perpetual 06 Runner-ups will be forced to actually play games with their dwindling 8-kid roster.  Sure, they might be a little bit lighter on kids this year, a little bit less talented, a little bit slower, a little bit weaker, a little bit more whiny and just a tad bit more offensively predictable… but I’m sure it’s going to be a super duper year for those scrappy little Ducklings.


Here’s to finally winning a banner, boys!  Here’s to double-shifting three kids!  And here’s to Hobo Village finally eradicating small pox!


Faithfully,
Kangaroo Jack
CAHA Sr. Vice President of Shenanigans & Tommfoolery


P.S. Nice throwback AAA jerseys San Jose.  I wonder where you got that idea.

[overHEATed]

Anyone know the scores for Sharks 1 and 2 today?

Sharks 1 was getting dominated by one of the Gulls teams, walked away to watch a more competitive game. Not sure what the outcome was, I assume the Gulls rolled them.

[JackBender]

Hey PWAA parents... you're all being blatantly ripped off by CAHA.  Your games should be (2) 25-minute periods... not (2) 20-minute periods.  It's printed and published in the CAHA 2017-2019 Guidebook. 


Here is the rule:


On Page 31:
9.9 CAHA TIER II FLIGHT SYSTEM ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDELINES:
6) Evaluation Jamboree format will be 1-hour mini game slots, with a 3-minute warmup, (2) 25-minute runtime periods, and a 1-minute intermission between periods.

ID1 3 -1 vs. Reign
Kings1 7- 0 vs. Sharks 1
Any more score updates?
