AAA announcements

In a world of lunatic sports parents, in a sport with high percentage of craziness, in a rink of infamy (Hollydell), on a club of maniacs (PHC/Hurricanes)...this guy sticks out. What an accomplishment!

AAA hockey in the mid Atlantic is terrible. It is not truly AAA. Places like Michigan have true AAA hockey. How many teams from here go out that and win? Not many if any. These teams like lf, JRF, PHC, and so on are just money dumpsters not to mention the thf teams. The cost of AAA in Michigan is a lot cheaper and they see development. So enjoy the AAA hockey around here.

I agree 100% and my kid plays for a THF "AAA" team. there should be 2 AAA teams in SE PA and 2 in SJ/CJ. There are not enough true AAA players to fill out rosters and this causes a watering down of AA, A and so on. This watering down causes people like us to move to the THF to get better competition because the AHF pure AA sucks besides maybe the top 3-4 teams. The AYHL is also watered down after the top 3-teams. This is all the AAHA fault. Only allow 4 AAA teams in Delaware Valley and maybe 2-3 more in North Jersey and the problem is solved. Also they should ban all AAA below Bantam. No one knows (except that 2015 PHC kid's dad) if these kids will be any good until puberty hits, so why not just ban AAA before they turn 13? The rinks can make up for it by charging every level a little more $.

Which is the point when I made the original post. As long as parents are willing to pay it won't change. To the clubs, leagues, district and even USA hockey it's all about money, nothing else.
