If the Colonials were there didn't get a chance to play them I don't know if the 01's were there, the 02's were definitely there. Little Caesar's is no joke. Ilitch owns them too. They have a lot of former and current NHLer's kids playing for them at all levels. On another pretty cool note, the coach for the team Michael played against yesterday is Mark Howe's son.

Puck Head Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 Sweet I did notice that Little Ceaser runs two Pee Wee AAA teams, not sure what means. I don't remember them running two bantam teams so maybe at pee wee they are focused on developing for bantams Was a 3-1 game and parents said was good game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puck Head Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 01's and 02's or 2 in the same birth year? They are like us I think, we don't split per birth year anymore after squirts. Thus why i was so happy my son made his team, some pretty talented 1st year Pee Wee's tried out. One made it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can play down a birth year if you were cut from the older team, but the younger team can only have 2 older players on a roster. You RARELY see that, though. More kids play up, than down.

We have a really, really talented 02 Birth year, probably our most talented birthyear far and away. So those kids were nipping at our 01 kids at tryouts. But size and strength they do not have.

Like my son from 140-165lbs. I imagine your team will look like that next season. Our 02 team, though very, very talented...is very very small. What's amazing though is my son's football team. 12 and 13 year olds. 6 kids right at 6'. 8 kids close to the 200lb mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least a large majority of your parents have been around hockey before. Then again, sometimes those are the worst parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 So .... How is everyone's season going? They played 4 NL games so far, and they're 2-2. Kids are still feeling each other out. They look solid so far. 1st league game is next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphinity 2.0 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I saw a kid fall and slide into the net and hit his neck when I was a squirt. I never had trouble wearing a neck guard, but after that, I wore it all through high school. Basically, you have to take one for the team and slide into the net neck first.

Hitting your neck, and getting lacerated by a skate are 2 different animals. They need to wear it. Michael used to wear one, but he outgrew it and when I bought him a new one he didn't like it. He has the plastic throat guard, but I still want him to wear something to protect the entire neck. He got slashed with a stick after a scrum in the crease and had a nasty welt on his neck. It makes me nervous when he's underneath a pile up. You never know what can happen, a kid can be pinned under there and start kicking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphinity 2.0 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Yep, and since your son is a goalie, it's extra important. Hope you can get him to wear one. :thumbs: All I'm saying is when I was young and impressionable, seeing a kid laying on the ice after sliding into the net made an impression on me. Though if I saw a kid get his neck sliced open, I probably would have quit hockey with PTSD at age 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, now that we're talking about it, and I'm thinking about it, I'm going to start convincing him to wear one. I'll try to ease him into it.

Dunny Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Well Momma Bear said no go on the neck guard again this morning, but more importantly he's out skating his older team mates today. Fuck, I'm obsessed with development already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
