I usually have no qualms about pointing out deficiencies in AAU, but they have been able to get some good talent on their roster as well. As to the skill level, it depends on the country and the...

Agreed. A less than diplomatic response.

Whiz- Like Flynn said, keep an eye on the site. Also, if there are teams that play out of your local rinks, there is a a good chance they will post some...

Krommer23,

You are probably best served by having some examples of your work. Not having examples or some baseline prices will likely make it difficult for you to get any buyers.

Exactly what Mike said. I have talked airlines into waiving. Also, UPS is a good way to go. It depends on where you are traveling and the total cost of things. Some airlines will give a group rate...

Brents has been covering the high school programs out here for a long time and has always provided such a positive light. Hopefully more districts will support full CIF inclusion one day. Hey,...

Jay,

I don't question the class in which the Ducks handle their community outreach (I actually used to work for the management company of their arena when I first started college, so I got to see...

Both are two-rink facilities. What is with the $995 tournament fee though? That is pretty steep.

already another discussion.

This message board is a great tool for discussion, but it is a bit much to use it to criticize or critique. Honestly, I'd love to see more open discussion, just not the criticism that tends to pop...

We are putting our team into the Men's Division at Thousand Oaks to try it out. It sounds like it will be a lot of fun. Hopefully someone can pick up the void out here that is still left from Topcat.

I agree with the points Growl brought up. I honestly think that the amount of teams in say the AIHL is a catch-22. I can think of a few times in sports history where expansion diluted the talent...

I am going to pull a Doug Jones and say that people who openly blast should be open about who they are. One poster with 2 posts and another with 11? Come on and man up about who you are. I met Daryn...

I would say that putting together some kind of fan fair with either the local NHL team or minor league team sending a mascot and/or players while also displaying your league would be a good way to...

I agree with ACCCT2 to a degree. I have been to many tournaments where it would be easy for someone steal from people. I think just having one or two people sitting near the locker rooms would be...

Jay,

I got the chance to see a few Swamp Rat home games and a Fire Ants game while back here. As populated as So Cal is, if some of the So Cal teams made the efforts off the rink to provide good...

Any word on whether the teams are coming back and/or if it is expanding at all?

The only places I could see being able to host NARCh finals in So Cal would be the Long Beach Arena & Convention Center, LA Convention Center or the Anaheim Convention Center. In Long Beach the arena...

Glad they are bringing it back to Cal. Towson, trust me you do not want to get stuck trying to drive out to Corona (where AHC actually is now) on friday night rush hour. I played their for state cup...

Rich is hard to miss...he is the only person in North America willing to admit to being a Kings fan :)

The Iranian election advisory counsel volunteered to review the election. While noting some irregularities, they felt the fact that ballots were never printed was not sufficient grounds for declaring...

I think it takes an extremely talented individual to play defense! :)

I think its hard to draw the line. You want players to learn confidence on the puck, but the situation that was explained seems to be far beyond that. I think that a coach should be reeling a player...

True. Some of the teams who play at the smaller rinks might be able to work out a deal with their rink to package deal it all for a lower price. Maybe off to get the team together to repaint the...

Maybe keep the minors before the pro games to keep the pro games as feature events, but allow for intermissions. The Kings and Ducks some times allow youth teams to play a 10-15min mini game between...

Exactly! It is great to see a lot of people being positive about having a true pro league, but it will take a lot more than bullet points on a message board.
