Anyone notice that, on the CAHA site, when you click on the "tier II pre season evaluation weekend" it says it will be in San Jose?


Not surprising.  It was in NorCal  2 years ago and in simi last year which is almost socal  ::)

Most likely, it was in Simi Valley last year.

This is the 3rd year of the "Jamboree" system.  Of course the first year it was in Vacaville.  Then Simi/Valencia, and now back to Norcal.  Why?  There are at most 4-5 teams from Norcal involved, and frequently fewer than that, depending on the age group.  When people posit that Norcal has undue representation on the CAHA board, and that they have used their position to funnel money to the Norcal rinks at the expense of SoCal familes, they don't have to look further than this.  Given that that Socal teams outnumber the Norcal teams by a 4-1 ratio, Norcal ought to have a Jamboree about once every 4 years, not every other year.

Some simple math for CAHA to consider when making their decision to have every SOCAL AA Team travel to SJ for the "Jamboree".

45(ESTIMATED number of SoCal AA Teams traveling to SJ....PW, Bantam, Midget)
810(ESTIMATED number of SoCal AA players traveling to SJ....PW, Bantam, Midget....based on 18 player roster)
$1500(ESTIMATED cost for one parent and kid to travel to SJ for "Jamboree" weekend...flight, rental car, gas, hotels, food...)

$1,215,000(ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF MONEY SOCAL FAMILIES WILL SPEND TO PARTICIPATE IN THE "JAMBOREE" in San Jose!!)

These are just travel costs....there are club costs, missed work, missed school, etc. to consider as well.

Hopefully CAHA will see the financial stress this puts on most families and come up with a solution that is far more efficient and beneficial to the hockey families.

CAHA has a meeting coming up soon and I think any board member with an ounce of common sense will agree that there has to be a better way....

While I have my calculator out....how about this.

18 teams x 18 players x 3 divisons=972 AA players in total

Charge $30/player for a CAHA Evaluation fee....$29,160

Mandate that teams play in Labor Day Tournaments in CA

Spend the $29,160 to send CAHA evaluators to watch games at the tournaments...3 for each division or 9 total!

$3240 per evaluator for expenses and compensation.....Pretty sure some competent evaluators may sign up...maybe even evaluators without connections to clubs!

This would save every SoCal AA family an estimated $1470 in 2019!!!!

Yes, I seem to have blocked that out already  :P .  I guess I conflated that with the further indignity that there were no Flight2 teams in either PW or Bantam that year, and yet they still made us play a CAHA weekend in Vacaville -- because?  $$$$$

Looks like they changed it to something much more generic.

Has anyone heard that 16U will not have games on Monday? Someone mentioned that in the PW board, but there is still no schedule posted at the link on the CAHA site. It would really be great to know for travel purposes and to maybe save a night of hotel fees!

Your manager should know the last game slot for your division
