NEW 2024/25 NAHL/NA3HL Season thread

[JMCx4]

Jmcx4 been driving the Zamboni at affton ice rink?

They revoked my license after I chased down a peewee team who stuck around too long on the ice following their game.

Quake get there first season point with a OT loss to Badlands. Taking baby steps. With the addition of the new goalie, new dmen and now a new forward, they were able to keep the game close.

Granite City continues to confuse with a SO loss to the last place Moose.

Peoria picks up second win of season against Rochester. They made a coaching change about 3 weeks ago and have added 6 new players since the season started who have a combined 55 pts in 46 games this season. Wonder if they could become a Cinderella story and make the playoffs.

Mustangs are coming off their first season missing the playoffs in a long time. So it's not surprising they'll need time - and player/staff changes - to turn things around. They've just gotta hope J-G Trudel doesn't return (again) to a spot behind the bench.

It's good I would think that teir three Juniors doesn't have patsies.

ANY lower-level sports business has patsies, both on the playing service and in the organizations.

What’s funny is that their first win this year was with JG Trudel coaching.

What was your FIRST clue? Just because the coaches give the media stats updates duty to the newest player on the roster who doesn't scrunch up his face when you say the acronym "url"?

With plus minus, I thought it was supposed to be the penalty box person logging that stat. I've seen games where both teams plus minus isn't even calculated, everyone is a zero, and others where I know its not even close. I know most don't judge stats at EP as the gospel, but it is certainly annoying. (get off my lawn!)

I jinxed the Quake. About halfway through the game, score was 5-3 Badlands, ended 14-3.

Limited NA3HL watching experience, but the STL Jr. Blues/home arena have no such thing as a "penalty box person." And a broadcaster who used to call the team's games told me the head coach chose a player each season to collect & post the game stats.

That's hilarious. I know of players who are scratched doing stats for the teams use only. I would think scratched players might be scanning for girls rather than caring about plus minus.

Maybe I'm wrong about Granite City, the Moose took them down in OT last night. Sheridan faces off against Great Falls tomorrow night. Battle of second and third place teams if you are looking for something to watch on a Friday night.

Sheridan and Great Falls split there games over the weekend. Ever since I mentioned Granite City, they have stumbled, losing last night to the Toros. Im really not good at gauging teams apparently.

OK, I'm replying to myself I know. One more rant, watching an NA3 game last night, I wont say which one so I don't throw anyone under the bus. Team A wins the face off, d to d pass, then the receiver wants to pass back to the other d, and its right on Team B's stick, breakaway goal. Two assists were awarded for Team B. Huh?

Easy explanation: The lower the level of hockey, the less you should expect from on-ice officiating AND off-ice clerical staff.

Oh, this I know. I remember kids being on the bench getting points when our kid was playing 12-18U. Last year, and this is a good one, our kid was not even in the city the team was playing in, and somehow got on the roster and got a 2 and 10!
