Heard that AHSHA is going to consolidate schools, and ensure that each "school" has 2-3 teams, instead of the structure in years past where teams have such a broad range of players on them.  This is a good move.  D3 players can play on D3 teams and get both development time and have some fun accomplishing things, and many of the D1 players stuck in D2 can play on D1 teams instead of D2, forcing them to compete more and leveling up D1 overall.  Like that AHSHA can take inventory of its situation and work in a positive way to make things better for its customers.

What rumors/info has anyone heard about this upcoming tryout season? Any coaches moving organizations? Directors leaving?

We have a new youth hockey podcast.  Lance's kids went to Shattuck, mine are in Juniors and Girls hockey.  We try to relate some of our mistakes in an entertaining way.:

How did the board meeting go on 3/14? I heard there were some changes being discussed. Has anyone heard?

Anyone have a roster for Team Arizona?  Is there a reason AHSHA is keeping it a big secret?

Mission dads get control of your mommies. Horrible display of sportsmanship tonight in Gilbert with all the cussing and screaming at DY families. There were little kids around. The good news is you play your last game Tuesday while every other team has a chance to move on and no one has the listen to you anymore.

Everyone else is basically a D3 team with no chance.  Should have had Brophy and Flagstaff in D1 this year.  

Tonight should be a couple interesting games (3 v 6 and 4 v 5), next weekend a bore, and following weekend a good matchup in the finals.

I would suggest their methodology is flawed.  More D2 players than D1?  Multiple D3 players?  

If Team Arizona looks significantly different than "All Arizona" - which it will - then AHSHA needs to relook at its methodology.

Big congratulations to the 15O and 16U Jr Coyotes teams on representing desert hockey and winning the Tier1 league championships.
Many of these boys are going elsewhere next year for the next step so it's nice to see them keeping their foot on the throttle and taking care of business. On to nationals!

I assume since AAA was boiled down to just Jr Coyotes this past season that makes selection easier?  Just pick from the AAA team?  Travel and T2 players need not apply?
