Don’t count tournaments that they happened to both be playing at - just count non league games played between clubs.

DVHL cannot ban clubs from playing them, up to each club to decide. 

We will see what happens after the meeting on March 13th.  I think they will be made to wait at least one more year if not more before they get into DVHL.

The majority of TP's empty meaningless schedules were against DVHL teams in N/L competition.

This is imprecise.  I'm excluding weekends where there is more than 1 game in a day, obvious holidays, and weekends where more than 2 games are played. I included the team and a date they played that didn't trigger any of the exclusions.  In several cases there is more than one non-tourney game between the orgs but I'm not hunting them all down:

Blazers (PWAA 10/14 @NE Skatezone)
Central Penn (SQ A National 9/16 @Regency)
CCSC (PWA National 10/29 @CCSC)
Delco (BTM A American 10/14 @Delco)
Ducks (16U A National 9/30 @IceLine)
Haverford (PWB Orange 10/20)
Ice Dogs (16U A American 11/3 @Hatfield)
JBH (U16 A American 11/10 @UD)
Lancaster (BTM A National 9/14 @IceLine)
OYR (U15AA 10/28 @OYR)
Palmyra (BTM AA 10/13 @Palmyra)
Snider (BTM A American 2/24/19 @Class of 1923)
Valley Forge (BTM A American 12/9 @Ice Line)
Warwick (BTM A National 11/17 @IceLine)
York (BTM A National 10/21 @IceLine)

Admittedly the list is smaller but it's still pretty long.

Now the thread has hit topic #3.  Started with Ice Dogs / Warwick merge, followed by Ducks /Blue Hens no-merge and now onto TP / Quaker drama.  Ooof, when will it end???  Honestly, has there been anything constructive coming out of all this back and forth.  On a side note, may be one thing to discuss organizational concerns, but directly referencing one individual or another while you hide behind a "guest" handle is incredibly cowardly and should be shut down.

I'll answer your question, one person to another. My son plays for one of those 2 teams. As a parent who pays the same absurd amount of money it costs play the game at a semi high level I think I/we are owed a thorough and complete explanation of everything going on with the league and teams that play in it. I think most prefer to remain a guest poster because of the same common concern. We don't need our kid being ridiculed or treated differently by the club they play for because we choose to voice our opinion and demand answers. Fair enough?

I'm guessing you choose to hide behind the incredibly cowardly handle "guest" because you also don't to be labeled or maybe you might be afraid to lose membership if you reveal who you are.

When has anything constructive ever come out of an internet message board?

[Guest]

How about never? I do enjoy watching all of these snowflakes meltdown trying to figure out what is going on though.

How are season fees going to remain significantly lower than the surrounding organizations with the aspirations of ading on the overhead of several paid coaches and a hockey director.  Sounds like a fee increase is on the horizon...

That 16AA needs a big fat asterisk next to it. National Bound, but they get an automatic bid. They are below .500 in a division that has 5 teams that shouldn't be playing AA.

Regardless of your opinion of that team, that list clearly shows which org is a hockey club and which is a social club.

Anyone still wondering why the merge didn't happen?
