Pee Wee AA 2018-19

[ScottyB#22]

Did anyone see anything at the Jamboree that leads them to think that Kings 1, GSE 2, Gulls 1 and ID1 won’t be the Top 4 teams at the end of the regular season (not necessarily in that order)? Who is the best candidate to displace one of those from the Top 4?

Empire
In last 6 games (4 at Jamboree, 2 at 1st CAHA weekend)....no losses
GSE1: 2-1
Ducks2: 1-0
Reign: 4-2
GSE2: 2-2
Hawks: 5-3
Ducks1: 6-6
The wins were certainly not blow aways...close games but a W is a W.
Should know better after a Gulls, Kings and ID games....coming up.

You are overlooking the SCAHA games between the Jamboree and Valencia.  Empire beat PML (a Flight 2 team) 4-3 and the Reign (another Flight 2 team ) 5-0, but lost to ID1 7-2.

[2 Cups in LA]

The 4th A is making a valid point about Flight 1 & 2.   Miss matches among the two flights does NOT make your team factor into the equation of a real PWAA team.    The reality is among the 17 teams playing in the two flights, half of them should be playing in the PWA division.    Kings1, GSE2 & ID1 are the real teams to beat in 18/19 season.

Yes the ID2 game was a pre-season SCAHA game. In the loss to ID1, Empire was only down by one the score was 3-2 until 4 minutes left in the third. ID1 scored 4 goals in 6 shots. That shows that Empire could be competitive against ID1 in the future, and played well against them for most of the game.

4 goals on 6 shots?  Wow - not sure I would forecast a teams competitiveness on that........Holy moly! 

[TheFourthA]

ID 1 out shot Empire 40-20.

Pretty quiet here, but a fair amount to talk about. Empire was being floated as a potential Top 4 team but got crushed by the Wave on Sunday.  Gulls lost to ID1 5-2; right now, Gulls look 2 goals behind each of the Top 3.  GSE 2 had a rough road trip and lost three games, and now find themselves near local A teams in the mhr rankings. In fact, two A teams are ranked higher than the bottom half of Flight 1 on mhr.

Empire beat Jr Ducks 1 5-2

Also, we are new to the ice hockey scene. So my 2 cents may not mean much, but here are my thoughts about a couple of things. MHR rankings, although a guide, are not the end all be all. We have played many scrimmages, and they are not listed, while others are. I believe we even have some games that are not, or at least haven’t been listed. So the ranking can definitely be off. Also, I don’t know that coaches care as much about all that as parents do ;-) Our Coach for instance looks at CAHA games differently than SCAHA games or scrimmages. He will use a SCAHA game, as in the Empire vs Wave game as a way to teach the kids a lesson about their game play. I will just say, that he was not pleased with the initial effort and teamwork from the team, and while the score was tied after the second, he switched things up to teach a valuable lesson to the kids about playing their position well, team work, and their level of compete. All this to say, that sometimes we don’t have all the info just by looking at a score in a scrimmage or SCAHA game.

Here’s to a great hockey season!

mhr allows volunteers to add scores for scrimmages etc if something is missing you can add it. 

[overHEATed]

I wouldn't put too much emphasis on the MHR as it currently stands. As the season goes, it will level out.
Example... last week the 3rd place team had two PWA blow outs tallied. Don't know how that didn't immensely impact their strength of schedule.

So what’s happening over in Lakewood?  Heard rumors that Runtso Ducks were losing players and having tryouts...any truth?

Jr Ducks having roster problems?  How dare you, who would have predicted or guessed that?  Thank goodness it's the Jr Ducks though.  They have brass in CAHA "higher" places that know exactly how to make this all go away, AGAIN. If this were the CA Wave or another CAHA Tier Club, could be devastating to a program..

For those scoring at home that may not know exactly what we are referring to, please refer to CAHA Rulebook, Section 6.17(2)(b) page #15 of 116 pages: http://www.caha.com/docs/2017-2019%20CAHA%20Guidebook%20(rev%2020170714).pdf

If you are part of the Jr Ducks and have never heard of CAHA or 2017-2019 RULES, I'm not sure exactly how to assist you, as you now it has been said, you can't fix stupid! 

Also, Ex- NHL'r Jr Ducks Coach, please wear your helmet while on the ice during practice as your Head Coach is going to be very busy keeping the smoke and mirrors show performing in your absence, that is all..

Since there are some people that are interested  and concerned about the JD1 team and roster. I can post if and when we have an open tryouts. We always have space for a couple parents to get me free tacos on Taco Tuesday and to refill the water bottles. Lol, we could always use a couple strong players as long as their parents stay home.
