The thing is... you can't deny playing at a high level while growing up better prepares you for that... both mentally and physically. If you're used to adversity and hard work, you won't be as shocked when it becomes VERY hard. We're ultimately saying the same thing, it has to be in the kid's heart (and genes) to succeed... but you don't see LEGIT PW Superstars quitting after Bantam Minor year... you see them moving east for more consistently competitive hockey and better training/schooling environments.


Interestingly, in our heavily political environment of only two AAA teams in PW/Bantam for the ENTIRE SoCal population of 24M people (and growing)... these early Superstar kids moving is what allows the late bloomers to get an honest look and shot at playing elite hockey.


Hence our odd youth hockey ecosystem. So maybe CAHA are the geniuses... and we're the idiots?!?  :o


RIP: Westside/Brazzers... you'll always be in our hearts.


There is no preparation for getting hit so hard by a kid who has 50lbs - 100lbs on you that it feels like your all your teeth just fell out.  You can either take getting hit or you can not...

Sure there is. Play AAA and never face a kid older than you or with more hitting experience than you.  :D

Do we have a new dark horse in the PWA division?  Kings2 took out the Flyers yesterday 7 to 4.

Yep, and somebody said earlier that Kings 2 will drop like a rock once they see "real" teams - they in fact beat Heat and Flyers back-to-back and riding high...
Wave 1 who they face next started "trembling", I guess...



Ducks 2 got one player back (not sure where he has been) according to score sheet report who was Squirt A top scorer last season - so they really should not lose anymore games - maybe Flyers one?


Gonna be really close between 6-8 play-off spots.

Ducks 2 player I heard that he was in Canada.  Last season in squirt A he pretty much carried the team.  He is a good player and has decent size played on the 08 Brick team.  however i see two losses in their future one will be to Flyers (if they show up as it seems they are hit and miss)  and the other to Kings 1. Their schedule is pretty light.  they will finish the season with record of 8-6-1 unless they steal one from flyers or kings 17 points ( just missing the playoffs).

Alfirst,  I will give you a little credit regarding Kings2.   Yea, they've gotten better!   Until they can upset Kings1 or Wave1?  They're just another team that will make the playoffs.

After seeing both Wave 1 and Kings 1 play.  I would say Wave 1 is the team to beat and  Kings 1 is very beatable (didnt see anything special from them as far as puck movement which i did see from Wave 1).

SCAHA scoreboard states Wave1 beat Kings2, 10 to 2.   So what, Kings1 made up for it and smoked that OC PWBB team 18 to 1.

Interesting! Maybe the rankings do mean shit after all... It seems Wave PW A is living up to the expectations set by the rankings.

I don't know what Wave 1 "A" is ranked.  But i don't think you have to be very bright to expect a top AA team to beat a top A team.
I would have thought it would be by more.

So after this week top 8 looks to be settled - in different order by the end of the season but current top 8 in standings should  remain play-off teams.


The only team that could challenge that is Ducks 2 but even if they win 3 remaining games they will have 20 points and they lose tie-breakers to most (if not all) teams with 20 points (even if those lose all remaining).
Mariners, Flyers should easily pass 20 point mark.
GR 2 - if they won vs Ducks 1 (and they should) will have 20 points and they also should prevail in case of a tie. Plus they have last game vs Kings 2...


All settled, I guess - and looking forward towards the play-off brackets...


My original estimation - Kings 2 and GR1 undervalued, Gulls 1 and 2 - overvalued. Ducks 2 are falling victim of a tough schedule while GR 1 overcame that hurdle.
