Pee Wee A 19-20

[HockeyDad73]

Not only did the Bears win the were up 3-0 by the second pd. Goldrush made a valiant effort at a comeback. And if Empire hadn't tied it with 9 seconds left, they wouldn't have gotten a chance to win in overtime on a play that should have been whistled dead.

It “should” have been whistled dead but the unfortunate goaltender lifted his glove off the puck before the whistle.  The intent to whistle rule doesn’t exist in youth hockey I guess.  Nothing controversial really, just hockey.

Also, you realize IF Empire lost that game in regulation they would STILL be the #1 seed out of that pool b/c they beat Bears head-to-head.  That game seems to have proven to mean nothing except for IFs and BUTs and COCONUTS! 


...and this whole board had it wrong - everyone thought Pool A was brutal, yet it went pretty much as planned.  Pool B had the closer/tougher games.  Not sure what that means,

Well, as predicted all year....


SDIA was a garbage and a false prophet from day 1. 
Bronzerush was hiding all there losses on MHR and was highly over ranked.
***(all of the sudden they have lost 5 out of last 7 (1-5-1) and are going home.)
Wave1, Empire, Condors have been the teams to beat ALL SEASON LONG.


Only thing I got wrong was Bears.  To be honest, after watching a bunch of their games, they have a big goalie(s) and 5 players that stand in front of the net (like the glory days of OCHC teams - PACK IT IN!)  Just like BLUTARSKY's GPA, they have a ZERO-POINT-ZERO chance of advancing to the finals! *in bold, but NOT a bold prediction. 


Also, that little (young) Kings team was too young for the big stage.  I guess winning a PW "A" aka Squirt Tinseltown tournament didn't prepare them for big-boy playoff hockey.  (Not a slight.  Just a joke.  Don't get your panties jammed in your crack.  Aren't those kids 09s? They will be fine.) 


AND!  The Bears advancing was about the 1-3% equivalence of fatal coronavirus spread in CA.

I dont know about calling a team of 12 year olds garbage.  A bit harsh.


There are a few of what i would call "dirty" players and parents are a bit........animated.
Seems like typical SD group to me.  Nutty parents and a few kids with short fuses.

Sorry, not sorry.  I have had a personal rivalry with SDIA for years.  Just clean trash-talk.  Rivalries are healthy.  They still have the coolest Zamboni door in all of California.

And the Jerseys are cool. I wonder has anyone ever played a game against SDIA where there wasn't a MAJOR injury? You know the kind that takes 10-20 min. to check with their "team doctor"  but the kid is back on the ice in 5? Kids will be kids, some are hot heads and do questionable things, but it all starts from the Coach.

Lolololololz...  they are not the only team that does this, but you kinda nailed it.

Anyone hear that Goldrush is contesting their games or just a rumor??

I heard the same...........nothing confirmed though.

[BladesofSteel66]

Just looking at good old posts from pg1...


It was known from the start.... even though some teams were moving down from AA, the writing was on the wall back in August!


FIVE.... 5 of the 8 playoff teams were in Ana playing the Early Bird Tourney.
GR(3-1-1), Kings2(3-2-0), Wave1(3-1-0), Gulls1(3-1-0), Empire (6-0-0). 
Three of the semi round teams were all in POOL B last weekend (EHC, GR, JK2). 


Bakersfield was the only AA team (of 3 teams) to make playoffs.  Don't know where SDIA or Bears were that weekend.


Simply put, there were no real surprises this season IMO.

Contesting what ??


That their lil Gretzkys are not as good as they thought.


Those SOC parents have excuses for EVERYTHING !


we were missing players.....dog ate our skates......should have been #1 seed.......


If they would have been in the other bracket  every one of those teams bounce them !!

Maybe they already had rooms booked in San Jose

[BladesofSteel66]

Flights to NorCal are dirt cheap...  Maybe because the bay area is the outbreak monkey thanks to that cruise ship. 


Santa Clara County reports new cases, bans large gatherings of 1,000 or more.  This is San Jose, where states are.  Still not one word from CAHA on the matter.  What an absolute JOKE!

Wow, really? All those kids going into a known infection zone? Even Coachella has been postponed (ie canceled).

I've literally never heard of a contested game result ever being overturned.
