I wish Brick wasn't so organizationally and politically influenced by Pittsburgh Penguins who places just about every kid from their roster on the Brick team year after year leaving only a few spots for outsiders. I can think of 8-10 better players who should have been on that Brick team. It's a big miss considering the talent at 2011 level this year who were within the eligible area to make team.  It's no wonder they went 1-4 at Brick.  Get rid of the politics and put the best kids forward regardless or organization affiliation or just play as the Pittsburgh Penguins and stop pretending that the "PA Brick" team represents 5-6 states as it is intended to.

Talking smack about some 11 year olds nice.

This year’s PA team had mostly Pens Elite players. It’s hard to argue against any of the players that made it. That Pens Elite team is legit.

Outside of a few kids who chose not to participate, there aren’t many cases to make for players who were left out.

I’d argue that Boston or CJR had more misses in their roster. And look how good CJR still ended up being.

Boo-hoo! PHC only had 1 player make the cut. Wow, I guess PHC is not as good as they think. It is all pointless anyway! Puberty is great equalizer! I guess this will help all these PHC players that were great before puberty get used to being cut in 2-3 years!

No other PHC kid stands out like the one who made it (and perhaps the 2012 CJR kid).  PHC has done a nice job removing some of the lower talent on the team the last two years and replacing them with slightly better players.  The merger of FE and PHC worked well for them.  That said, they aren't likely to be a Top 5-10 team in the country this coming season.

PHC would be doing the same if they were picking the teams.

You fools stick out like sore thumbs on the site.

The hate for 2011 PHC team is ridiculous, these kids are 10-11 years old. Grow up. As for Brick, i believe 19 kids were Rostered from "Pens Elite" between the 2 teams 11's & 12's so there is TONS of politics. Some well deserved, a few on the bubble that i don't believe should have made it. There was most certainly some kids that didn't make CJR that could have made PA. PHC 11's has 2 kids playing/played 1-11 1-12, my opinion could have had 1-2 more that would have made it IF they tried out.

And to your comment about PHC not being highly ranked,  PHC will be top 10 this upcoming season. Yes they did do a great job over the last few years to make themselves a better squad and get some pieces that they needed, they now have 2 legit lines on offense possibly 3. Most of the kids they have are super fast w/skill and if JB plays his cards right it will be fun to watch. Again they are all 10-11 and yes things will change so enjoy the time now.
