If Narch went with AAU that would be huge for AAU and would make the tournemnt scene very intresting.

Calls and emails to Daryn from my office havent been returned as he is waiting to make things official - from an email I did receive from him

He wrote me that some BIG things are in the works and to stand by

I see TORHS has released its Regional Schedule - Well most of it....I cant wait to see it out here in Vegas come December - Need help runnin things?

I was waiting at the end Ian - I mean you could say like...tawk amungst yaselves

It's almost like Blu Ray v HD DVD...once one of the big guns chooses to switch sides...maybe one true governing body is not far behind?

I think it would be funny (if this did turn out to be NARCh going with AAU) that our governing body would gain legitimacy from becoming the insurer of a tournament series that AAU sanctioned rinks have tried to run out of southern California. It's "hurting the sport" and "not helping the rinks" but hey now we've become the insurer, GO NARCH!

Just speculating.

AAU + NARCh= DEFINITELY NOT HAPPENING
NARCh + State Wars + Torhs = ALLIES (Could be interesting?)

[jawz&chum]

not going to be AAU

[zipyaj]

It has been brought to my attention that the November 3rd, CIF Winter Sports Summit (high school) in San Diego included an attendee representing the sports' most recognized business leader in promoting roller hockey tournaments across the country. Further, that this attendee and speaker may have significantly influenced a vote by attendees swaying a previous affiliation with the AAU to USAHIL.

Big news?

Caveat lector!

[Doug Jones]

To respond appropriately,

[silverman56]

Is it me or does mtour71 sound like Ian Mackie?

Torhs + Narch + State Wars = three sharks that will eventually turn on each other.

What does Narch, State Wars and Torhs get out of being allies?

[Berry_Bramble]

NARCh is not going with AAU..just be patient..should be worth the wait.

[silverman56]

Only choices left would be USARS or they are doing their own membership.

[Mtour71]

Should be interesting!

[silverman56]

Just can't wait.... could it be another ALLIANCE? Let's hope not!

Alliances, allies, partnerships call them what you want they have done nothing to help the sport.

Silverman,

Wait for the release to comment. Who knows what is going to come about.
