1. AZ Ice Gilbert - two actual restaurants and a bar. If you can't find anything to eat here, you're too picky.
   
   
2. Ice Den Scottsdale - good food in a nice atmosphere. Only complaint is the value. Small portions for high prices. They should have expanded the rink view windows with the rennovation.
   
   
3. Ice Den Chandler - nearly the same as Scottsdale but without the pizza oven. Great view of the rink from almost anywhere.
   
   
4. AZ Ice Arcadia - Good stiff drinks often on special too. You may go home smelling like a deep fryer though.
   
   
5. AZ Ice Peoria - Almost like Arcadia, but with worse seating. Beer doesn't seem cold enough. I'm not sure this kitchen would pass an inspection.
   
   
6. Open Bag of stale Goldfish in your car
   
   
7. Oceanside - Enjoy your popcorn and cup of Maxwell House.
   

Hearing DY and Bobcats are having their Tier 1 status rescinded. 
If true, it's a new day for AZ youth hockey. Neither organization has any business being AAA.
Not because they're poorly run. Just because there is not enough talent in AZ (yet).

Abstract
A comparative study was performed that included the analysis of demographic and competitive rating data for
boys’ interscholastic high school ice hockey teams located in the North America. A composite rating profile
was generated using SportsoftTM windows-based software (least-squares method) that reduced the raw game
scores of over 146,000 games played by 5,479  boys’ teams in both United States and Canada between the
ages of 15 to 18.  Individual rating profiles for each state high school league were extracted, tabulated, trend
lines plotted and analysed.  State rating profiles were grouped by region and comparative graphs were plotted
using the state of  Minnesota as a common benchmark.





Keywords: least-squares, ice hockey, rating profile, Minnesota

Outbreaks happening in rinks all over the valley. Only a matter of time before another shut down occurs like over the summer. Make sure the inline skates are ready for driveway hockey.

Always enjoyable to review the AHSA suspensions list.
This week's highlights include

• Match Penalty for removing opponents helmet during an altercation- 30 day suspension
  
• (two)- 5 min major, Fighting
  
• 5 min major, 3rd man in
  
• (Four) - Violation of Team Code of Conduct - indefinite suspension
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Looked underwhelming at every age level. To say most of the games were out of hand would be an understatement.
1-20 record for the weekend as an organization.

07s - 0-5
06s - 0-4
u15 - 1-3
u16 - 0-4
u18 - 0-4

The 14U AAA Bobcats ran through the gauntlet in Nashville to capture the CCM Championship.
Pound for pound this is one of the top hockey teams in Arizona at any level.

3-1 over Carshield
6-3 over Indy Fuel
5-3 over Jr Predators
7-3 over Pittsburgh Vengence
and then another win over the Vengence in OT 1-0 for the banner

Well done kids and coaches!

Which school will screw it up for everyone this weekend?

Hamilton (D1), Flagstaff (D2), Notre Dame (D3), and Basha Perry (JV) all looking to begin their title defenses.

This is probably your last free weekend until spring. Enjoy your day today, see you at the rinks
