Not sure about the other 3, don't think i've ever heard of them CT Yankees merged with MidFairfield Blues. Pierre McGuire's kid is on the team, and Tonelli used to coach, but he went to another team. RI are legit, and the NY Jr. Islanders are formally Suffolk PAL ... they're meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Is Rhode Island AAA or AA? AAA - Do you remember the video of Michael's game that I posted with the highlight reel saves? You commented on it at length, and we discussed it for a bit. That was who we were playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 http://myhockeyrankings.com/rank.php?y=2013&a=2&v=123 They're actually 6th in the nation. We're 17th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Head Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Yes. They might be Tier 2. You can be AAA in Tier 2. I don't know how that works, do you? I have no idea how it works anymore! Back before, you had... A Teams B Teams Which became... AAA Teams AA Teams Which became... Tier 1 Teams Tier 2 Teams Or also... Major Teams Minor Teams Then teams starting identifying per birth year, (we use to never care about that, you were either Squirt, Pee Wee, or Bantam). Officially per USA hockey, there are no birth year Tier's. Simply.... Pee Wee Tier 1 Pee Wee Tier 2 1A Pee Wee Tier 2 2A Pee Wee tier 2 3A Bantam Tier 1 Bantam Tier 2 1A Bantam Tier 2 2A Bantam Tier 2 3A etc, etc, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 What's a independent team? A group of parents that were unhappy with their organization for whatever reason, join forces and make a team. They're not in any league, but they play a slew of games and tournaments. Mark Howe's son coaches one of them. We played his team, we lost 7-3, but it was the 2nd game of our season and their 20th, and we had about 11 penalties. We were winning early, and tied at 3 at one point. Then the ref saw some of our kids without the mouth pieces in, and handed out penalties like Halloween candy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooklynBoy89 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Brooklynboy89... How old is your kid that's playing? And where abouts does he play? Sorry, just saw this Puck.. I am an Asst. Coach, my Dad is the HC. We coach the 16 and Under Jr. Flyers American team. It's Tier 1. Most of our kids are 15 year olds. The Jr. Flyers National team is mostly 16 year olds. We play out of Ice Line in Paoli. 4 Rinks, it's a really nice facility. Lots of larger tournaments, such as Silver Sticks Regionals are held there. I'm still young as far as the coaches in the building go (24)... Hopefully will be able to have my own team in a few years. Right now it's just fun learning the ropes from Pops. Try to make as many games as possible, it's tough since I Bartend most weekends and we play a lot of tournaments far away. As for the teams, you guessed right. Dallas are the Stars Elite and Colorado Thunderbirds. Played them both a few weeks ago in Detroit. Lost to Dallas, beat Colorado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's GREAT you are getting to learn the ropes through your dad. Just keep learning, and learning, and learning from any coach you can. At that age (24), I had just started to get into coaching, and I picked the brains of every NCAA or Jr. coach I could. I read, and studied anything that was out there, (before the internet). And just when you think you know what you are doing....go back and start coaching Squirts..... Cause that's where the REAL coaching begins :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Head Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Your whole Minor Hockey system is fucked. Looks like the GTHL on crack. Ha. We got kinda crazy there for a while, but it's getting better. Now starting to concentrate on proper development more then winning games at the mite, squirt, pee wee level. That's why USA hockey pulled national tourney's until you hit the age of 13/14 (Bantam). I've been around a lot of Canadian hockey through the years, and the BEST thing they do at the minor level is this... They don't "pick" comp teams at young ages. They develop everyone...and when the kids hit 13 or so they natually allow the cream to rise to the top. You get a much better well rounded athlete up there. Here in the states there are places that pick "comp" teams at the age of 7-8....it's a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 We lost 5-4 to the Islanders. We were up 3-0 end 1. Meltdown, penalties, Michael let in 2 softies. We tied it up with 2 minutes left, but they waived it off. Puck was in the net for 3 seconds and they pulled it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooklynBoy89 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 We went 1-1.. Lead 3-1 going into the 3rd against Milwaukee, lost 6-4 (Played our backup). Played Dallas last night, who beat us the first time, we won 1-0. It is really a tough situation having 5 games in a weekend and 2 goalies who are very different. Team is so confident in one, and not in the other. Dad said the heads just dropped when the Milwaukee team started scoring in the 3rd. Always tough when the team doesn't have confidence in one goalie, kids start to worry more about every shot against, and play differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Won both games today. Locked in 2nd no matter what. Play Comcast twice tomorrow. They're the 1 seed, but if we win in the morning, we'll be the 1 seed. In the night game, we're up 3-1. 10 seconds left, face off in our zone. We win the draw and send it out. With 1.7 seconds left, the fat coach's big fat son runs our player. Screaming, yelling. Guy is screaming at our fans. I told him to go fuck himself. They walk off the ice, no handshake. Fuckin disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
