I have friends that have send their kids to "academy's" that consist of a rink and a back room where their kids to high school work online.


The only parents that want that are those that are delusional about their kids chances.


It takes time for *real* academies to be built, along the lines of actual east coast prep schools, and hockey is 'just another sport' to them.

Ok Bantam parents, you need to realize that by junior year of HS, your kid’s workload will be such that those long commutes to practice will really impact their schoolwork, and those late ice slots Midgets get will just make things harder. Add in all the travel for games and tourneys... and wow. Prep school offers a balance to those of us not blessed with a rink around the corner or best bud who runs a hockey program. It’s hard to see the reality when your kids are young and so full of optimism.
Without more ice in CA, kids will always leave.

I don't think the scores on scaha are complete yet or even accurate.  Yesterday, it showed Jr Gulls(2) beat Jr Ducks(2) 15-0 which seemed impossible to believe.  Now showing 5-2.  And Jr Kings(1) beat the Condors 4-1, not a 1-0 loss.

I heard Flyers beat Reign(1) either 9-1 or 10-1....both Reign Teams should be in Bantam A....at best.

I'll start, both GSE teams should not have made flight1. Gulls2 and Wave should have. But they had to split up the Norcal team to get Nocal CAHA weekends. F*CK CAHA, it's all about the money and not the best product. >:(

Really, the only major issue I see is the Wave being Flight 2. Not saying all the flight 1 teams should be obvious choices but you can at least make an argument for them...the Wave being Flight 2 though is  :o

 Here’s a link showing the 2019 – 2020 CAHA divisions and the teams in each flight/division. As of now, it’s not showing the schedule.

My prior comments on the AA system are numerous.  I agree about the Wave.  I really don't know why they were dropped when they could have had 10 teams in Flight1 per the Flighting rules.

I believe that after last season, CAHA was not eager to put any of the primarily '06 teams into Flight 1, especially if those teams aren't named Kings or Ducks.  I didn't see more than a few minutes of one of their games, but as an '06 team, it was going to be an uphill battle for Gulls2 unless they were undeniably a better team than at least 5 other teams in Flight1. 

Every season since the inception of it, Flighting has screwed over 2-4 flight 2 teams not because they would beat everyone in Flight1, but simply that they are good enough to play competitive games with the lower to mid flight1 teams, but will be denied the chance.  That wasn't supposed to be the role of CAHA.   

As they didn't Flight any division other than Bantam, it seems like the writing is on the wall, that the clubs themselves must be fighting the system to the degree that there was no appetite for it.   

The irony is that Bantam AA has 2 AAA teams this year, which makes it even less reasonable to exclude teams by flighting with such a huge gap between the top 2 and everyone else in AA.  The really sad part is that the teams from 3-16 are probably closer to each other than in any season I can remember.  If not for the top 2, it would be a really interesting and competitive AA season.   

All you can do is make the best of wherever you are even if you got served a shit sandwich.  The problem is that there are still people who buy into the basic premise of flighting which helps perpetuate it.  I don't blame the CAHA board for that.  I do blame them for losing sight of the fact that they are administrators for a league, and not evaluators of competitive competency.  The minute they started listening to knucklehead parents with inflated egos and superiority complexes was the minute that CAHA lost sight of its reason for being.
