Article from our hockey brothers up north about the Wave issue from Vernon....

Wow.  It made Canadian news. Shameful, CAHA. Shameful.

“When I found out what was going on, I knew it would turn into a slaughter, said Wolfpack coach Darren Wicks. We were going to have parents and children upset, kids probably crying. There is no growth or development by doing that."

At the next CAHA Board meeting this will be spun as a success story, no doubt:  "[size=78%]CAHA scandal succeeds in drawing international attention to California hockey."[/size]

Good people on both sides of the border overcame dysfunctional administration.  The Canadian team may visit the Wave next season.   That story would be much bigger and better than CAHA rule enforcement.

Oh, it’s not over yet CAHA... another news article on your boneheaded petty political games from the host city, Vernon, BC.  Congrats! Now you’re recognized as International baffoons!!!  🤣🤣🤣

WOWZA!
Yellowknife is not even in one of the seven provinces, it is in the Northwest Territories.  Meaning, they are as far North of Vernon, BC Canada as Artesia, CA USA is South.

This Wave / Canada thing is disgusting. Somebody needs to get canned for allowing this to happen. 
The CAHA guy in charge of youth tier hockey is Kevin Culbertson. Maybe He needs to hear from us, a lot of us?. We are his “customers”. Dispute  resolution is handled by Rosemary

You can’t expect all teams to not plan for a weekend travel tournament on the chance that one of them may have a play in game. 
I’d love to see if any threats were made to the club in writing.
This should have been worked out and with the complaint maybe parents will forward their change of ticket bill.
If nothing else they should have been allowed to forfeit the game.
As we all plan our exit or outright walking away from this sport in California, I hope CAHA pauses to ponder all the mistakes before moving forward. Time and again players and families aren’t being put first.

Agree forfeit should have been an option. And the opposing team could have still used the ice for a scrimmage, if that was an issue. I’m amazed by all of this - is there something we’re all missing from this story?

It's amazing that the flight 2 team IS allow to decline to play the "play-in" game and give the spot to the other team while the flight 1 team is not.
I feel bad for the families who had to pony up the $ to leave early to play the playoff game with 7 kids.

What makes this situation even better is that the Ducks 2 team had a SCAHA game scheduled against Pasadena for the same day as the play-in game.  Guess what happened to that game?  If you guessed it was cancelled, you are a winner.

Six pages of posts slamming CAHA but no one wants to talk actual hockey with play downs starting today?  Who does everyone like in Dogs 2/GSE?  Should be a fun game to watch.  I like Dogs 2 in that game but like both to make playoffs.

Just curious on why you “like” ID2 in this one?  Should be a good game but GSE is 3-0 vs ID2 including jamboree.  It could certainly go either way but what is your rationale?
