Don't be fooled into thinking this is an elite program. The top team is a money grab by Barletta and Bezeau. Most of these kids would not make an EHF or E9 team. This team is a refuge for these players. Parents are led to believe Premier "tournament team" LOL.. Lots of great hockey right here if you can make an EHF or E9 team!!! Get out your $4000 and another $4000 for travel hahahahah
I looked at this seasons roster.. all non EHF/E9 players except for 1 and he switches teams every year so it is what it is... now go get your f***n shine box
No Andy here but didn't the Caps have a better record when his son and the Blonde kid from the kings on the team. Can't blame him for the Caps 02 mess.. But just like the Caps is to blame everyone except themselves.
We heard same about Bezeau from a number of Boch parents. we just pulled out of WE for next season. RB is disappointed but he should have done his homework.
RB is doing this because his kid could not make in EHF elite team . Daddy taking care of so on yet again. At the end of the day they're not going to be able to field a team and the express will be groveling for any sort of talent. They asked us as well and if you do any sort of digging you'll find it's a complete scam.
Does anyone know what the deal is with the Premeir team? We did not go to tryouts because we haerd team was set but we just got a call saying thers a spot available but need to know asap or we lose it. Also where is this team playing? Our son is not EHF elite caliber but better than town A. thanks.
in a crap league. MPDHL is not any good until U16 Tier 1 and its still not Mass Selects which is the top leauge. Walpole Express is now and always has been irrelevant.
don't be a fool! you will to pay 3000- more to have a label on your kid as premier, really? You said he is not elite caliber, but RB is offering premier????? Wake up, B has lost so many players from last season because the league is a joke. Its all about the money there, and few other places. Just do your homework, then ask your kid where he wants to play, and how much commitment/travel he wants to do. Be smart play town, spend the 3000- on private lessons for skills and let your kid earn his spot on real hockey. Stay clear of any "Elite/AAA" org. that put teams in Yankee, SS, or MPDHL, thats what town teams play in but for 3000-less. Also, playing town doesn't mean you have to play for your town team, many city/town teams have room for a few out of towners
Generally speaking would think it is good to get foot in the door in the u14 premier div of mpdhl. Chance to play National Bound Tournament, good prep for HS, competitive teams in this division.

fron RB. No full season team at Premier level. It will be half season than exhibition games wit kids from lower teams filling out the roster. Not the end of the world. Next?
Better talk to RB pronto. Not enough full season players comitted. He's waiting for end of EHF tryouts this week to see if the leftovers can fill his roster otherwise no go.
Man, lots of folks trying really hard to make somebody look bad in this thread.
The 02 Express team was ranked 7th in Massachusetts by MYH. Ahead of most EHF teams. Right in between the Breakers and Vipers who were 2nd and 3rd in EHF Tier 1.

That's a complete joke! Any EHF Tier 1 team would wipe the floor with this or any other MPDHL team, get real man!
How did the NH Monarchs do against elite fed teams and VJW Elite. Lost most but some were competitive. Tier 1 fed is nothing special. My guess is monarchs smash tier 1 fed teams.
The Express also were lucky that they didn't have to play the Outlaws Black or Hurricanes this past season. They most likely would have ended up behind both of those teams.
Barletta worked the parity schedule so he wouldn't have to play the Monarchs, Outlaws or Hurricanes as he knew he wouldn't qualify. He then voted to have less teams in the top division so he could try and win it. Premier division better than Tier 1 Fed Black and BHL.
