He left to play at a level that wasn’t around his area.
There are SOOOO many people making SOOOOO much money on hockey players all the way until they are 20 years old in many cases, that it really seems that it may never be worth the expense. Or to fill the coffers?66 enabled it when his son couldn’t make the hornets. Squash any competition at any cost. i'm not sure what driving an hour and a half to Wheeling to see an ECHL game has to do with anything, but don't forget that the Hornets were a well supported team before the 67 expansion. The best high school players go on to play in college and the best of them go into the NFL. I can tell you out of 10 kids who were "signed" to D1 schools, only 1 actually played D1 and he was not on a scholarship. I know some old timers who were season ticket holders and they were pissed about losing the Hornets especially because the expansion draft was not designed to actually build good teams.
being tied to the schools and community-centric.So if a scrum/fight occurs after the game, does the hockey mom still release the bloodcurdling shriek, "THAT"S A MAJOR!!!!!! ... with maybe 1 or 2 kids from last years team and the cycle goes on.
It's apples and oranges and adding a slit-season isn't going to change that. sounds like your trying to change the narrative..but all this talk about how kids have to leave, i'm not buying it anymore. He was the son of the late Kathryn Wamsley Potts and Donald Dean Potts. Families go through the process within their neighborhoods. When my kid was younger and playing we would see some older kids get NCAA D1 offers and thought they would actually go there and play (like you see with football). is one association looking to upset a top dog? but they can read high school football news and then go to the local watering hole and watch the game of the week on tv.I hope this clarifies my position.it was sort of more of a complaint about why i see PGH not being as big a hockey town as it could be because there are a lot of actual hockey people here and many more who could be easily converted if there was more of a community oriented model.Or we could just be happy for a local kid who did good.good read, thanks for posting that.as an outsider though, i think you may be surprised by how many people in the area are actually "true" hockey fans.
The top of the food chain is there so the pro team doesn’t pay to have a practice rink and to move along certain kids! Squash any competition at any cost.
When a team is doing well banners go up and such. That's what it is all about.Exactly, look at the original post. I understand that I oversimplified it quite a bit, but for the most part, that is how it works and it is easily understood.
They said no, it is actually a "Sidney Crosby" town. They continue to roll in but if most of the information on this thread is correct, you have to wonder how many of these will actually come to fruition. Mario is part owner of the ushl team that drafted both of those kids. I remember it kind of irked me, he had a chance to give the local kids a hero and chose to poo on it. i thought that's where the USHL and NAHL came into play.not exactly touting, but they do list on their websiteNot too many players who could get a full NCAA D1 ride, and tryouts each year with a pro team while averaging less than a half a point a game as a forward. High level prep school is where the kid learned to use his “gift”.lol, yes, yes it is, so let's just stay bizarre. Pittsburgh just isn't there yet. i thought that's where the USHL and NAHL came into play.As a spectator who just sits quietly and watches a game (in 15 years I think I may have yelled at the refs twice).
F1 IS BACK! When a team is doing well banners go up and such. and no one was fooled by the "an expansion team will make the stanley cup" narrative. Mario’s kid couldn’t cut it in the ushl and I highly doubt the other kid will even get there.People seem to forget he worked in politics before becoming a hockey parent. PPE has consistently been having kids sign NCAA commitments for quite a few years now, it's only a matter of time before someone breaks in. The politician has taken it to another level.Even better, if the rink has livebarn, watch it at home.
