What AA Bantam Teams for 2018-19?

[trans4761]

In the bears defense,  their 04s on that team not their strongest players. Mostly kids that have been with club a few years and were not able to make the Peaties.(spelling ?)

Anyone have more insight ?

For these tournaments,  as a standard you have to submit your USA roster so I'm sure it wasn't a surprise to the CCM tournament.  So I think we can rule out the "intent".

Say it ain’t so, Mo!


The Bears know better than to enter major year kids in a minor year category and it destroys  the appearance of integrity for the tournament to have knowingly slowed this.  I am now left wondering if the 6 foot 200 lb kid was actually a pee wee or just an exception to the rules that every other team followed.

So why does the Bantam A level get 4 pre season SCAHA games and 16 season games but Bantam AA only gets 3 pre season SCAHA games and 8 or 9 flight 1 or 2 SCAHA games? Something isn’t right? Bantam AA you pay way more for your season. Yes I know, we play CAHA games, but that is an extra charge? Appears that it shouldn’t be since we are missing some ice slots.

It's been like that as long as I've been around. You probably pay more because of your practice slots. Most Tier teams get full ice practices or more hours of practice than an A or B team. Coaches also get paid more.

Hey 4th!

I really dont have any insight into anything. I was just stating that tournaments are aware of these things.

I'm not a Bears parent, but seems like a lot of negative energy spent on a team that didn't advance past the quarter final in a tourney that doesn't impact the CAHA season at all. That said, if Bears-2 sandbagged it, hopefully their opponents will snap them back to reality in Vacaville.


I have no reason to doubt the integrity of the CCM Invite, but some of those midwestern teams playing '04 had corn-fed boys that looked like they could toss a hay-bale with one hand!    The win/loss records didn't necessarily reflect it, but all the CAHA teams playing '04 AAA put up a strong showing for hockey in CA from what I saw.

From what I know of the team Bears2 has 5 or 6 04's on the roster.  One is a goalie.

The CCM tourney certainly knows the birth year of the teams and players involved so it's probable that they needed a team to fill out the division and invited the Bears to be that team.

Who cares, it’s over.

The Wave blew their Wad-a.  What happened to this once powerful travel club?  Did they lose kids to that recruiting factory in Burbank?

Wouldn't say they were blown out...they kept it close and at one point were tied. Do know that one of their kids did not play.

it was far from a blow out, they kept it close for the majority of the game, and one of the players didn't play either, should be a good matchup in the future

This thread has gone the way of the Wada Wave ... circling the drain.  The Wave were tied with the bears?  Yea 0-0 when they started the game.
