The problem with Dvhl is the politics and coaches and owners who own organizations. Because tryouts arent tryouts. Went to a tier 1 organization and they already had last year members own and the 4 kids from flyers organization put on and 1 kid from west coast put on. So all the other bantam kids that try out got screwed over and taking for the money. Real organization that play by the rules get over looks and the ones that pay there way to get into Dvhl and scam people get screwed over.Go to any other programs in pa on west it's not like here you have to try out and if your better then the other kids they let you know and they keep testing your kid to see if they can go up a level. Even in Jersey and New York and Florida & Texas and minnesota and Canada they dont do this profit they all do non profit and there kids from AA to make it affordable for parents to pay top notch hockey actually get a break because it's really triple A level. Only in this philly area are parents and kids getting screwed over because parents are just looking for the name of organization and not what they produce and put in kids skill and moral wise. It's a (ME) mindset and that's why these kids and parents/coach have no clue what they are actually teaching bc in the real world you got to earn you way in life work and sports. Not give me every and I'm clueless bc mommy daddy and coaches just sheltered me all the time. I watched @ Peewee Quebec 18-19 tournament tryouts parents going upstairs to the try out evaluation personal and give them money so there kids would get on and evals talking to the parents and kids saying dont worry you already made the team. It's a Dam Shame that Politics takes over and greed in a sport that suppose to show you life lesson and show you to work hard is corrupt to its core. Want to fix the problem make all organization non profit and let the retired pros handle matters in tryouts for USA hockey/tournaments. Stop tweaking roosters and letting different level tier groups be a power house in tournaments and in season. If your name is not on rooster and you haven't sign the rooster then you shouldnt play. Kids in every organization should be allowed to step on the ice with their respected organization whenever they want to practice free of charge get conclusions protcol testing before the season mid season and at the end. Kids should be allowed to practice with there team and the other team that's higher likening war road Minnesota to make them work harder to be better at sport and wanna play to have fun. If this was all done and tuition for organization should include all this at affordable price with warm ups,upcoming season,tournaments & off ice training and film study,uniforms (sweaters/jerseys,socks,shell) all in that package as well as a bonding trip with parents and kids going so everyone is on the same page before the season. If this was done right parents would stay at there organization and there would be no issues.
