Edmonton SSAC 8 - Sherwood Park Flyers 4

I guess I am the only seeing this.
One goalie with a .794 for one team and a .866 for the other. For two teams in the top 15 this is not good at all. 12 goals total on 69 shots for both teams. maybe lots of penalties ??????

T Birds bounce back with a solid win over Coquitlam, to all the doubters top 3.

Here we go again. Please don't put your team in the situation again where you boast about a win. Great you are in 3rd. We are all impressed. Let others talk about your success, be humble. For the sake of the players do this.

T-birds climb high to a .500 record (5-5) and quell all doubt - they are......a mediocre team. Way to go T-birds!

Anonymous said...

Not 3rd in the league ... T-Birds should be ranked 3rd in Western Canada. Here we come BWC!!

Anonymous said...

The two Winter Club teams are in a class by themselves. But after that there isn't all that much difference between most of the teams in Flight 1 and Flight 2.
For example, the T-Birds currently sit 3rd in Flight 1, but have LOST to Langley's A2 team, and have LOST to Seafair, and have LOST to Ridge Meadows ... all of which are Flight 2 teams.
Another example is South Delta, who just moved up from Flight 2. They just beat Semi 3-1, and Semi has the third most wins in Flight 1.
These results should put to rest the myth that some big gap exists between non-winter-club teams in Flight 1 and the teams in Flight 2.

i think there are several PCAHA players that have legit stats that will also beat the scoring record.

but, none the less, in BC we dont really care because our competition and opponents are more balanced, we focus on wins and not how many goals you get in 15-20 nothing scores

this year NSWC may have a 99 that will beat that recordif he continues his strong play

BC dont keep the stats of their kids from Atom on because it really does not make a big deal, kids come and go,

we also dont plug the kids on the multi media like YouTube and other Web type Internet streams like Twitter.

just saying,

but if thats what makes you happy and your child a better person, fill your boots

12:44 Congrats! you are a 6-5-3 team just a bit above average. Dont get over yourself.

K that last comment was not representation of the tbirds. Its just someone hiding under the name anonymous, and commenting something stupid as if they were part of the team.

2 big upset losses for JDF...but a huge win sunday puts em in 1st with a 3 point lead. Impressive bantam hockey all through every league this year.

I guarantee that all these cocky comments towards the tbirds are not parents OR players!

Hey is it true that the game BWC vs Abbotsford was only 38 minutes long? How does that happen? Might explain the 3-0 result though. Most teams play at least 50 minute games in PCAHA 15-15-20 and some even have enough ice for the 20-20-20.

Semiahmoo has really hit a slide. They start the year 6-1-1 and since then have gone 1-6-0 to stand at .500 7-7-1. What's disturbing is their recent loss to South Delta 3-1. No offense to South Delta but their goaltending is small and average and their defense is good for flight 2, but not nearly enough for flight 1. So, to only score 1 goal against that team is a concern to say the least. What is going on in Semiahmoo?

Interesting how the update on the Bisons tie with the Flames is that the Bisons are increasing their lead over the division, when in fact the story is that the Flames, who are in 4th ties one of the top teams in the AMBHL. The game in fact was dominated by the Flames when you look at the shots.

Anonymous said...

Lets hit this on the head for the last time. TEAMS IN BC DO NOT KEEP OFFICIAL STATS. All the stats recorded here from BC players are created by the players themselves, parents and coaches with an interest to promote a few. That is why lots of people get upset when they see that player A scored 6pts when they were there and he didn't. Time for BC to post score sheets or this site to stop giving out BC stats.

The BWC vs Abbotsford game was a full game with 3-20 minute stop time periods. BWC scored 2 pp goals one being a 5 on 3, and 1 shorthanded goal.

Posting the game sheets in BC won't change a thing. They are filled in by parents. And we all know what that mens. Sometimes this situation is laughable.

Anonymous said...

I recall a post back in the summer hyping Semiahmoo and the fact this group of players was finally going to get some good coaching (IE. non-parent). Based on this year's record, Semi players play better with a parent coach behind the bench...perhaps issues with coach/shortened bench etc.

Anonymous said...

Great theory but our coach demands access to scoresheets before they're submitted and alters goals and assists of his son, manager's son and the assistant coaches son.

Unfortunately it was laughable at first because we simply assumed the scouts were astute enough to come to the realization that the points didn't reflect play on the ice. But it worked, guess who the scouts are talking to? The most selfish player on the team is leading in both goals and assists while the player consistently feeding him the puck without the same in return has half the assists.

So in short…I wish I could stick with my earlier assertion that stats mean absolutely nothing and REAL SCOUTS will find the TRUE talents but there's much more coercion here then we'd like to admit. Who do they talk to when enquiring about a player? Coaches & managers!

As much as I'd like to think scouts are providing a thankless service and in it to help the gems make it to the next level I quickly seeing the interconnected web "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours!"

Anonymous said...

First of all scouts don't give a crap about the scoresheet. They are there making their notes from game play. And if a player is making things happen they will notice him. Having said that, there is something to be said for a kid that finishes his opportunities. Semiahmoo has fallen off the rails. Most of the Bantam AAA teams have non-parent coaches and guess what most of them shorten their benches. Just the way life is in Bantam AAA. I don't know any coach that doesn't put players on the ice that can help him win the game.

Semi also tied South Delta twice in exhibition in the early season. I have never thought them the powerhouse you may do. They have 1 good goalie, an average defence and no forwards that really stand out. Their team is quite tall and appear to have not to many holes.I have never ranked Regush very high if at all, seems quite ordinary to me. Regardless of parental hype So I'm not too surprised they are falling.

This is why the parents should not hold these positions in Bantam. Its very simple. As a scout I've been given names of players that are just stupid suggestions. Usually from Mom or Dad the team manager.

Would like to comment on the crause hat trick. How do you credit the second goal to #9 when he wasn't even on the ice. Do we blame the referee's or scorekeepers when this happens to the players.

Anonymous said...

Great question 4:25
I was at a game recently where the timekeeper announced the goal and assist, and on 3 goals he had the # and name of a player that wasn't even on the ice. Neither coach or timekeeper was parent for either team. Whose incompetence/error was that? As parents we all sat there and laughed because we knew it was announced wrong

Just wondering if you are going to be commenting on the games played in Saskatchewan this week (Jan 14 - 19), for the longest time there was nothing posted about the Regina Monarchs, then a few posted came, and now again nothing.
They are playing very well and there should be comments on their team and the talent that is there. Its not all about Alberta and BC.

Agree 100%.
Nothing to get excited about on Semi. They definitely have a better 3rd line than SD and should win but that's it. No stand outs.
