Best Regional All Star Team

[IllSnipeYouAll]

which regional all star team do you think will win the tournament at narch?

[CSteamer]

Not the Southeast. Team's a joke

[hcarl]

lindenwood

[CSteamer]

Gableman...

[dan sangiorgio]

gp vs east final i think the east wil be strong with a top line of scotto stein marrotti and tambo.

[BccCP33]

Not the Southeast



Defininitly* Not the Southeast

[???]

MCRHL team looks pretty deep. They have 6 of the top 9 scorers in DI(Schultz, Kolis, Lubanski, Fisher, Fenkell, and Scalise) and their goaltending won't be too shabby.

I agree with the Riddler

[spencerhs5]

cant really say any team is a joke, there may be a few exceptional players who arent on the southeasts team but there certainly still are some others that are amazing. a few years ago when they had the college showcase the southeast had all their best players they got worked for one reason, they didnt gel, that said its gonna be whatever random group of players can fit together and click without practicing, my bet is the mcrhl.

[Dave Garland]

I'm going to go with no one touching the Great Plains if they have those players on the list (meaning most of them go).

[Leaferguy]

No doubt in my mind that the GP will be a very good team if attendance is solid...

[James Lambert]

Nobody can handle Thompson and Bruce.

Add the speed up front with Gouge and McCann, the big finishers like Barnette and Paskvan, the brains of Clarke and Propp, and the best goalie in the country in Cash, and the Great Plains will reign. :)

Thanks. Consider it a "taunting" smiley face.

If the SE team really consisted of the best the SE had to offer, it would be interesting to see how we would stack up against the other regions.

Oh well, guess we have to wait until next time...

[IllSnipeYouAll]

so are you saying that the SE team sucks? im sure there are people on it who should be there

[hcarl]

I think hes saying that there were people left off the SE team who probably should have been included.

Here are the top 5 scorers in NCRHA (all divisions):
Schultz (EMU) 83
Paskvan (WUSTL) 80
Denesevich (BCC) 79
Caudy (SC) 72
Strauch (SC) 68
(Strauch also led the NCRHA in game winning goals)

There are two players who, despite being in the top five nationally in scoring, were not selected to represent the SE.

I dont want to speak for the dangleman, but I do not believe he said the SE team sucked; he was probably insinuating that it could be better.

Dave Marin for Heisman.

[BccCP33]

Look at SC's schedule...not one respectable win, got slaughterd by good teams, and even lost to sub par teams. Its much easier to produce points as an individual(s) when your (D1)school's schedule consists of opponents like V.T. (R.I.P), G.T., and Armstrong.

I don't think their absense from the team makes a difference either way, but there are more deserving players that went unselected, which is STUPID, because its an "ALL STAR TEAM", not a "lets pick a few players from around the region to make everything fair team". I agree with about... 5 selections - and one of them has a broken arm. Sorry guys. You're getting smoked @ Teco.

A quick look at the box score reveals Caudy dropped 4 goals on you. Lets not rip other people just because you didnt make the team.

[CSteamer]

SC can't help who they were scheduled to play. They didnt make the schedule themselves, they only decided what tournaments they could attend and then were given a schedule. Don't be a dumby. Just because some kid who played in 8 games on your team made the all-star team over you doesnt mean you have to rip on other people. Elon and Miami had easy schedules too and they each have someone on the team, both of whom have far less points then 72 and 68.

[missionhockey19]

BCCp, give it up, so you didnt make some all star game...big deal...you want to prove yourself as a good goalie, go play narch pro or torhs pro....or at least some type of platinum level.....then maybe people will give you some type of respect...

I dont care about not making it dude.I didnt play long enough to prove anything + I don;t see why everyone is making it out to be that way just because I said the selections made werent the best possible. I aint superman. And I'm not claiming to be.

[MBurke]

Nor will they ever be accepted totally by all involved.

I'm sure just like our region that:

a) there were people who said they couldn't make it and were left off or who didn't respond to requests

b) regions were bound to only have 4 players MAX per team (it's to showcase colleges as well as the league at NARCh - an entire region of one team isn't serving that purpose)

[CUDangled]

I wasn't intending to disrespect anyone who IS on the roster, I was simply just saying that it does not represent the BEST that the SE has to offer. Whether the players are injured, not available, can't afford it, not interested, etc...we are missing some top notch talent on that roster. Which is really too bad because the SE has the most to benefit from the "market the programs to the local kids" concept since Narch is in Florida and we would have the least travel expense. I understand that teams from all over North America will be there, but traditionally the national events draw more teams from the surrounding areas than distant cities because of travel expense, plus the added attendance of local people who are just coming by to "check it out".

In the ideal world, where each region is able to send their best talent, I am curious how the SE would stack up.

[someaction]

In an "ideal world", the SE team would still finish 4th at best.

[CSteamer]

CUDangled. I doubt any of the top-notch talent that was left off the team would be not interested or not be able to attend. I think they just flat out were left off the team for some unknown reason. Maybe the people in charge of the SECRHL dont want to win.

[BccCP33]

It's posts like this that make me really hate to reply to any thread.

Where do some of you come up with this stuff?

[CSteamer]

come up with what stuff? That the top 4 scores in Division 1 in the SECRHL are not on the team. That some kid who played in 8 games is on the team and that 4 people from the team that finished in 5th place at regionals are on the team? The amount of people snubbed from the team makes the team a joke. They didnt base it on who were the best players, they based it on if u play for a school from florida or not since 11 of the 13 players are from florida. Again, a joke. So like I said, maybe the don't want to win.

[DGlass]

So...you've spoken to all those who were snubbed and know that they weren't asked? If that's the case, then it is up to the SE to correct their method for choo-choo-choosing the team.

But, perhaps the top scorers were asked didn't want to play. Perhaps they have to work and can't take off, or are taking classes, or have a family vacation...

Hockey is not the most important thing for every person. Sure, players would probably try and rearrange their schedule to play but that is not always feasible in the the real world.

Thanks. That was my point, CSteamer.

[the_narrator]

The reason why the SECRHL team is "a joke", or in actuality not as good as it should be, is because the person who chose the team was very biased. It was a player from one of THE FLORIDA THEAMs. I don't know why he got to choose the team. That's why some "key" players are missing from the roster and why some players that should not be there are there. This was not a fair way to pick the team. I think the league director should have let someone else pick the team or a group of people pick the team. He obviously should not have picked the team himself because he only showed up to one tournament (regionals).

[MAmato]

I thought you wanted Cornell to get better:confused:If I wanted that, I would have focused on recruiting nothing but goalies this year. Although that wouldn't have worked anyway, as it turns out. Thanks, admissions people!

[CSteamer]

I was unaware that one player from a team in Florida acutally picked the team. This makes the team even more of a joke than it already is and makes the league director and other people in charge look incompetent. But it does help explain why the top 4 scores in Division 1 are nowhere to be found(none play for a Florida school) And to respond to others, i know for a fact that the top two scorers were not contacted whatsoever in regards to this team and they ran away with the scoring titles.

[DGlass]

Sorry yo, Cornell's MBA program isn't nearly up to my standards.

[MBurke]

If you all are going to sit on here and make accusations, you could at least dignify your posts and identify yourselves AND the people involved.

[MAmato]

Sorry yo, Cornell's MBA program isn't nearly up to my standards.The irony here is that you're not being serious, while I would be completely in agreement with your statement if you were.

On a truly serious note, is arguing over a freaking all star team really that important to some of you? Christ, if my teammates could have, I'd have received negative votes on this year's ballot.

[Leaferguy]

What I don't understand is how to pick between the players. Basically, there are three types: fat, skinny, and average.

The fat guy has a great shot, but not that much speed. Although, when he mixes it up, he can really make players feel some pain (that is, when he's not disappeared or blinking too much).

The skinny guy is so quick - an undoubted asset in roller hockey - but he's soft on the puck and definitely can't shoot like a big boy. The puck generally floats toward the net. Still, he's tenacious enough to get back into the scrum after fat guy knocks him away and then blinks his way to safety.

Average guys are by far the safest pick. What's better than a mid-level mix of speed, shot, and diagonal agility in a four-way world? Still, he leaves something to be desired. All-star? Maybe he is. I wouldn't say first ballot, but never hurts to look.

The easiest pick is the goalie. Just find a guy who can kick one leg really well and can just as quickly move in front of a fat guy shot as he can follow a skinny guy deke.

All in all, it's pretty complicated, and I can see why the SECRHL would generate controversy when picking guys. Added to all of that is the fact that sometimes the game has to be restarted because the power switch doesn't work perfectly. So very frustrating, I know, but in the end, it's worth it.


Just be patient, guys; you'll all get your chance.

....which makes you not very good as a player and your comments irrelavant, in the context of immediate fans/players who can't understand how the BEST possible SE team was not selected to match up with the best players from the other regions, and what the person who chose such a team's logic was.
so hang on to your 2 cents, while we try get some sort of reasonable explanation as to why the SE is gunna get toasted in Ft. Myers, while the rest of the talent is get'n toasted at the beach.

Actually...I was slightly serious. The little research I've done hasn't done anything to make Cornell shine. I'm still a few years off from getting serious about it, though. The only reason I'd consider Cornell right now is because the Executive program can be done in NY (of course, I don't currently live in NY so go figure).


BC3PO, I hope you are as adamant in your discussions with the SE director as you are on this message board. Protesting here certainly gets the word out but will not force any change (oh, for the record...I am going to drive 900 miles today and go through 3 tanks of gas just to piss all the economically-challenged people off). The best way cause a ruckus is to get the rest of the SE behind your cause and make a difference.

I generally agree that the SE messed up its selection process but if I called up the SE and complained, why would they listen to me? I've been with the ECRHA for 7 years now and the only person to ever listen to me was Dave Thomas when I told him to shut up and take less penalties....

...he did shut up, but still got penalties.

ya, i feel you. but its not like they're gunna go: "oh, hey you know what, you're absolutly right, we didnt make the correct selections for our regional allstar team. Here, let me give all these kids I've written e-mails to and received confirmation from, the bad news that i royaly screwed up and won't be needing their participation in this event becuase they're not the true talent the SE has to offer and what we'd like represent as our deivion all stars. Sorry about that. I'll get on it A.S.A.P."

Ya know, So **** it. I'm all for a change in the SE director and for anyone w/ a non biased mentality towards the players/teams within the SE, while looking out for our best interests.

if anyone agrees... let me get a "here, here" or an AMEN.

[MBurke]

I think the point I'm trying to get across is that unhappiness with the situation is fine - if what you say is true, you've got every right to be upset.

If you want it changed, though, you've got to contact other reps in your region and either confront the director as a group or try to get someone else who you feel is a better fit to run the region and get the teams to support him/her.

Realize that 80% of the posts people make on this forum complain about this problem or that problem within the league - while that's natural, imagine being a prospective parent/player coming in and seeing all these posts about how teams are unfairly picked, bid selections are a joke, etc. etc.

Instead of channeling all of our efforts here into 'this sucks', how about we spend time thinking about how to make it better? I think everyone here (directors included) knows we can improve the league. However, do you expect a group of ~10 people who make this thing run nationally and regionally to have all the answers and get it right all the time?

ECRHA came up with the brilliant idea of cross-divisional games to let bad DI teams play average DII teams and top DII teams play DI teams. More competitive games across the board. Guess what? It sucked, everyone hated it, and we've scrapped it for this upcoming season. The new divisional structure we put in place (check our home page to learn more - www.ecrha.net) was a result of tons of feedback from team reps and players.

Getting involved doesn't necessarily mean running for director of your region - it can start with something as simple as collecting contact info for all the teams in your region and creating a committee like the ECRHA has.

This is not my login, but someone asked me to identify myself. It may make me look like a winer, but its only because i was a little surprised that I didn't make the team after the season I had. I just felt like there is a stong bias towards players from Florida schools, and it seems after all considering a player from Florida picked the team that its true. But whatever, really nothing I or anyone can do about it because the team is already picked. I didnt mean to call anyone out personally, just seems like this whole thing is a little off.

Haha, well, when you're me and can't do anything right, an MBA from a school that is anywhere from 8-15 sounds fairly good. Clearly, you'd rather go to UPenn or Sloan or whatever but you know what, they don't have roller hockey. It's the reason I'm going back to Cornell instead of playing D3 ice at MIT. :shrug:

Bccwhoever, although you have all the finesse of a sledgehammer, your heart is in the right place. If it's a big deal to you, you should lead the way in getting the league to change the process. ECRHA changes every year simply because us teams ASK for the changes and we have both the leadership at the league level (thanks burke and glass!) and at the club level (all the other presidents and ACC reps and other officers) to allow for a continually evolving league, which is a GOOD THING. It sure as hell beats complaining about it on a messageboard where you tend to come off poorly to those not involved.

My mommy says I am a good goalie so I'm going to listen to her, though.

Leaf, go with fat guy. Everyone in the ECRHA knows fat guy power is the source of all victories.

how do you list on ur website ppl makin the team confirm them playing then tell them sorry your an alternate for ppl that did nothing even close to what you have done because they handed the team over to tommy dispenzire i find this to b a joke and unfair i will no be rooting for them to get hammered as they suck neways.. why have an all star team and give it to a kid that played to pick all his friends

[Ldubsfinest]

Wow , whats new? the southeast division allstar team is going to be a joke.. the reffing is horrible ever since they changed up the reffs (in the florida area )and now they got some joke picking there allstar team. I have no clue how this team was picked.. It going to make the southeast league look horrible at narch.

I do not play in the south east league i play in the great plains w. lu and hate to see my friends in this south east league embarassed with "all stars" like tommy dispenseri :eek:. How do u screw caudy , hayes and kasey d off the team.. did any one see ryan and kasey play at nationals? well I saw that UF team play and I wasnt impressed at all.

The officiating certainly took a downward spiral a few years back. Inexperience, inconsistency, showing up late for games, etc...it has all taken a toll on the game in the SE in the last few years. To complicate this issue, the officials in the northern part of the SE region (NC / SC) seem to call the game to a different standard. Right or wrong, is not the point. The point is that within the SAME REGION we don't even play within the same "standards of play". I won't get on my soap box about the variation region-to-region. That is another black eye to our sport.

How can we turn away officials that work championship games internationally...and replace them with guys that would otherwise be working competitve rec league games. Not to knock the current crew, even though it sounds that way, but if it costs just a few dollars more per game to get top notch officials, I say go for it.

$5+ per official
2 officials per game
$10/game / 2 teams
$5/game * 20 games
$100 / 10 players

$10 per player (annually) we could have better officials...

Definition of a no-brainer decision.

[WeakSauce]

From what I've gathered so far, there is going to be a gap in play from the Midwest/East/Great Plains teams and the Southeast/West/Rocky Mountain teams. (Big Suprise)

I think I give the edge to the Southeast (in addition to the first 3) to make the playoffs because the Rocky Mountain and West teams play all of the "big three" while the Southeast avoids the East.

You knew what I meant. Those were invitees, with alternates listed. You know as well as I that the teams were a mystery until they actually played.

As it turns out, the GPCIHL roster is:
Brandon Barnette
Adam Clarke
Kyle Gouge
Brian Hansen
Drew McCann
Dustin Brown (G)
James Cash (G)

And they won 8-2 this morning.

Round Robin is complete! There is a new article on www.ncrha.org

Playoff Seeds are:
#1 - WCRHL (4-0 record, beat GPCIHL 7-4 in last game of RR)
#2 - GPCIHL (3-1 record, less GA than MCRHL)
#3 - MCRHL (3-1 record)
#4 - ECRHA (1-3 record)

Missed the cut - RMCRHA and SECRHL (0 wins, 3 losses, 1 tie each - a valiant effort though)

[CSteamer]

Like I said. The southeast team was a joke. Looks like i was right. Hopefully next year someone who is unbiased and knows something about hockey and the players in the league will pick the team.

I think we had set 10 alternates and went through all of those - the team out there isn't reflective of the original team selected.

[JLambertUMSL]

Great Plains wins.

[KillinAintShe]

no region had the team they wanted playing down there. cheese with your whine?

[GoRangrHky]

All Mike as saying was that they did PICK a better team. We know that they couldn't make it, but it's not like they didn't pick better people originally. Can't realy blame the selection people for that.

Hoped that was made obvious by the fact that I quoted the original poster who had said something to the effect of "ECRHA could have picked a much better team and dropped the ball," but I guess the reading comprehension was off on that response.

I don't think anyone would argue the fact that GP was the most talented team out there by a pretty sizable margin, nor that GP also has the most talent regionally - if 90389038091 national championships across 4 divisions didn't clear that up already.

...if 90389038091 national championships across 4 divisions didn't clear that up already.
Can you send me a link for that one? I think you're lying and the ECRHA is trying to make people think that the GPCIHL is the best ever so that the ECRHA can sneak in during the night and steal away all of their wins because it matters a lot.

:mad:

You're stealing my trademark "reading comprehension" attack. :D

It doesn't hurt that the two best college players from New York (GT/TB), the best college goalie from Florida (that would be Vio; sorry BCCCC41 or whatever your name is), possibly the best college skater from Florida (not a household name, but Thiefault is really, really freaking good), and the best college player from California (BB), all play for Lindenwood. That's a drain of top talent from other regions.

Nobody's sneaking up on us.


Wetton right, Wetton left, Wetton down the middle.

:p




(We should have a designated "taunting day" every week. How about it?? JK of course....but that's the kind of mood I'm in.)

(To be 100% fair, Brennan had no chance on any of the three goals. In fact, he was the best goalie we faced at Nationals.)

(Trash talk is no fun when you feel like you have to qualify and disclaim.)

[Leaferguy]

I'm just glad I only have one of your guys to play against at StateWars (as far as I know, at least). No, not that team MO is now easy, just that it'll take them a few extra minutes (or seconds :p) to figure me out :D

The key to being a good goalie is flailing and getting out of position in a subtle manner. The goals never appear to be your fault that way!

[nottanitta]

you guys are both not that good so you can keep having that conversation between yourselves.

[Leaferguy]

But we just had it here

Why would we have it again between ourselves?

[alex]

"and the best college player from California (BB)"

As good as Barnette is, I'd say Stephen Campbell (Riverside CC) is the best college player out of California.

[JLambertUMSL]

As opposed to the deep contributions from people who post anonymous "unbiased" messages about themselves and their own teams, and also from goalies who take time to whine on a message board about the way statistics are calculated...

I haven't played organized hockey since bantam ice. So yeah...you're right...I'm not that good. But at least I post my name.

By the way, if you are who I suspect you are -- Brennan is definitely better than you. Sorry.

[BccCP33]

CSteamer you are a joke.

lol , you (representing your team), telling some1 they suck is a joke, becuase Miami in fact sucks.

[RichardGraham]

Hey BccCP33,

Can you ease up a bit on the negativity? It's really getting obnoxious. (The same goes for anyone else who constantly puts other people down.) Thanks!

I have a right to post how I want when I want. I don't even play in the college league so you can stop trying to guess who I am. My name is clifford and I am a big red dog. And wrong neither of you are better than me and I don't even play hockey.

[RichardGraham]

Overbearing? I think I've been pretty patient. As for the First Amendment, I doubt you've ever read it. It states:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

I have the right to administer this privately owned web site any way I see fit, "homie."

actually i read it 2 seconds before I wrote it, know it all.

...basicly I have the right to what I want.. until you censor it, which would make you overbearing - trying to dominate, which is another way to say you're arrogant and pretty smug in what you do.

Also, "homie" isn't a word in the English language, its a slang abbreviation of the word "homeboy" - so I'll spell it however I like.
