Teams leaving the NJYHL for AHF

[Guest]

AHF signing on teams from Arizona and Florida. They will travel to NE for games and I bet AHF/BB will have options for tournaments at these rinks if teams want to travel. Also building talent pool for Quebec and International teams. AHF new name- American Hockey Federation!

Name the team(s) from AZ please

Arizona Bobcats played at a couple different age groups.  They made the championship game at 14AA

If flyers youth was doing a good job that post would not be needed. Do you see other clubs going at teams and leagues? No. The ayhl has multiple teams ranked lower than thf teams. ML needs to take a good look in the mirror maybe it’s time to go back to canned soup and not running people out of youth hockey. He doesn’t coach older groups at fy because the parents can see through his lies his 2014 team has lost half their roster the last two seasons, and has two kids quitting the game all together after this year. Is this what they consider development? His assistant coach used to be his biggest puppet and even he wants out after this year. The guy is a fraud how can you be a development coach when you can barely tie your skates?

Flyers youth = 1 post
Flyers elite = 674 posts + 1 open house + many desperate coaches

FE will never make sense to me. Completely unqualified coaches.

Play AA and spend your money on lessons.

Haha 🤣 ever notice every time something negative is written about FY they immediately throw FE under the bus.. it’s called deflecting

I do not have a kid at FE or FY, but I have coached for 10+ years. I am a dad coach, played AAA hockey until 18, 1 year college club and level 4 coaching certified. Am I qualified in your book?

What coaches at FE are unqualified and why do you think this way? What makes a qualified coach in your mind? Is it non-dad coaches? If yes then eliminate 70% of all coaches at Tier 1 and Tier 2. Is it they must have played D1 college or professionally? Again that eliminates about 70% of all coaches at Tier 1 and Tier 2. Is it that they run a system? USA Hockey says no systems should be run until 12 years old, but PHC, Venom (now Jr. Rebels), LF, JF and many other programs play systems starting at full ice mite. Is it that they must only play the best players on their team and sit kids that can't keep up? If yes, how is that fair to the kids that paid the same money but get 3-4 shifts a game? Is it that they allow parents to yes instructions from the stands and don't mind the players ignoring the coaches orders? Well I know plenty of parents that do this and it never turns out well.

Please let us all know what your criteria is for a qualified coach. That way I can pass this on to my contacts at FE so they can change their program. I look forward to your response.

I’m not going to call out specific guys but yes some are absolutely unqualified and not because they are dads. Never said anything about them being dads.

Stop with the systems. Not sure how much youth hockey you watch in this area but none of the teams you mentioned are running systems. But, being capable of teaching kids how to play properly is a prerequisite in my mind. Being on the right side of the puck, basic understanding or 3 zone hockey. They’re never too young to be taught concepts. These guys don’t know anything about the game. If you don’t believe me ask them 2/3 basic questions.

These pissing contests are so stupid! Who cares what FY or FE posted. Both programs are struggling and FE is taking a lot of FY players which pisses ML off. ML is losing his main draw in JH to PHC and will also lose the best players at 2013 & 2011. FY already lost their best 2012 and 2014 players and will more at both ages this year. FE will not get them all but will get some. Hurricanes and Igloo will get the rest. FE is taking players from FY but their teams are AA at best (except 2015). This entire thread is stupid. Let parents decide where to go and stop trashing other rinks!

Will they have the snack bars open? Because its a brilliant business move to have them closed while you have tournaments and playoffs.. or shit even highschool games. Its really mind boggling how ole mur makes any money
