Regarding facts, when I checked the birth sheets of the players of the teams with the Breezy Point officials, to the best of my recollection, there was only two players listed at 98's unless you are saying the goalie was a 98 in addition to the other two.

don't be fooled...they knew what was thereInigoMontoya wrote: There can certainly be some good players there, but if the Loons are looking to test themselves against the best, then lesson learned..
Really? I think he Breezy Point folks will be shocked and suprised that Northland is now running their tournaments. Just because a organization enters multiple teams in an event does not mean they "run" it.black sheep wrote:breezy point was run by Northland hockey the parent company of the Loons, Gulls, Owls, Bucks etc....
Yep...my mistake...i stand corrected...I lumped it in with thinking of the miken & their festivals where all of the NH teams playedAir Force 1 wrote:Really?

The problem Muck is that girls playing in a boys tourney illustrates the double standard that Murray wrote about. All facts aside about the girls team being able to compete with and actually beat some of the boys teams - it still stands that double standards like this just end up causing controversy whichever side you are on. It's like association hockey - YOUTH teams and GIRLS teams but no BOYS teams. In my opinion it's not right - I don't care how good a particular girl or team of girls is - that shouldn't necessarily give them the right to play vs boys teams. In this particular case all the boys teams should have at the very least been notified to give them the option playing or not.muckandgrind wrote:Why?

Personally, I don't care if girls register for boys tournaments - as long as they are playing under the same rules, what's the problem?

Here's the difference......there are fewer girls playing than boys...and with the fewer girls, there is a much wider range of talent among them. Some girls are simply too skilled to play at the level of girls hockey offered to them, so the opportunity to step it up and play at the boys level will help in their development. Is that so wrong? Most of the top HS girls in the state played boys hockey up until the Bantam age...why? Because playing girls hockey wouldn't have provided them with much challenge at all.This is silly! wrote:The problem Muck is that girls playing in a boys tourney illustrates the double standard that Murray wrote about.

It is amazing the amount of complaining about a 2nd place team not belonging.This is silly! wrote:The problem Muck is that girls playing in a boys tourney illustrates the double standard that Murray wrote about.

Here are some more excuses you can use when you lose:
The other team was from the Sunbelt.
Their kids were using wood sticks.
Their jerseys were over 1 year old.
Their goalie was wearing glasses.
They are an open level team and this is an invite tournament.
Honestly, complain if they were a doormat. But complaining about being duped into playing a second place team is pathetic.

Don't you think that the level of play of girls hockey would advance quicker if the best girls stayed on girls teams instead of going over to play on a boys team? If the best girls aren't playing on the girls teams then who is raising the bar so that the level of play elevates? Seems logical to me.muckandgrind wrote:Here's the difference......there are fewer girls playing than boys...and with the fewer girls, there is a much wider range of talent among them.

Once the number of opportunties and options available to the top girls increase, I think you see the number of girls playing with boys decrease.
Why would you (or your team) be uncomfortable playing against girls? I've seen girls play on boy's teams for quite some time and they get hit just like anyone else....no one takes it easy on them, and they shouldn't.
