From what I've seen, trimback, you seem to consistently have problems with other posters, anonymous or not. I have to ask, why is that?

These forums are (or were) relatively peaceful except for the occasional Conestoga - Haverford High argument and things of that nature which usually follow particularly violent high school games.

I'm not going to presume to give you posting advice, as a high school student and another random user that's not my place, but from what I've observed, there is a right way and a wrong way to contribute here, and that's all I'm going to say.

You may remember me from the Bonner - Ridley game? The goalie? 2-2 tie? It was a good game, Killgore and Dolan played well. Good luck with the rest of your season.

Boraske,

Yes I remember you in net, you played very well.

As for the discussions here, I could say the sky is blue and certain people would argue it here. Reality is the sky is blue majority of the time, but you would have people argue its not at night or on a stormy/cloudy day.

One thing I know for sure is, I bet traffic has increased here since I posted.

I doubt traffic has increased. It's still the same people that its alaways been, just some new excitement. Every season around now there is always some messageboard drama, it's like clockwork. It's usually players posting though...so a parent is a new one.

Thanks, I was worried you'd take my post the wrong way. I agree though, there are some argumentative personalities on this forum, that's for sure.

Jigga,

Whats the normal drama? Fights between teams like Boraske said?

usually either fans arguing. Like Boraske said Haverford High and 'Stoga had some words last year. This year there was some Unionville-Kennett. Also every year it seems like we always have 1 player who just goes off and makes a bad name for himself, we haven't had that this year.

Well i guess the Shawnaee goalie earlier in the year, i've noticed he's stopped posting.

Im loving trimback's presence on the board. he definitely stirs the pot, and I know he has seen alot of good club hockey in his time, more then alot of people on this board. Whether you agree with him or not, he definitely makes it interesting.

You should know better.

I have seen Holy Ghost Prep play three games at the NISS and I have reports from people who have played several Class AAA schools in Eastern Pa and will have more when Central Catholic comes down this weekend to play Malvern, HGP and LaSalle.

Kittanning did play in the Ice Line Tournament and I get reports from other folks in Eastern Pa, who have seen a lot of Class AA and A teams.

I invite teams from Eastern Pa to attend the Pa Hockey Scholastic Showcase and National Invitational Scholastic Showcase and some consider, but we would like to see these teams come out and participate. Penncrest, Henderson, Holy Ghost, LaSalle, Perkiomen Valley, GA, Downingtown East among others have come West and to New York to play and we promote it. We also have several West Teams who have come East to play at Ice Line and on their own.

We [Matt and I] do the best we can putting rankings together and you can pick them apart all you want, but thats what makes it fun. I have pretty thick skin and really could care less ....but you more than anyone Jigga Beef should know I do my homework !

Jeff, I never said you didn't do your homework. What did i say to lead you to believe that.

I don't think there is anyone more dedicated to HS hockey than you or Matt.

Matt is also THE most impartial person involved in the east. The high school he attended doesn't even have a high school team. I think he prob sees a bit more suburban league games just because its closer to where he lives.

But I've never had a problem with PA hockey's rankings at all.

I just reread this post, i think you must have thought i was talking you when i said has only seen la salle play. I was talking about Plym_20 but i did write "Pa Hockey" in there.

You have a tough username!

Looks like Central Catholic cancelled the trip?
Anybody know what happened?
