They made it with ease because they were put in a cream puff bracket with 3 whites 1 black and a silver
Essentially they only had to play each other
Other 2 brackets had 3 and 4 black teams and they beat up on each other
For Shamrocks not to get in after playing in finals is a joke
Once again, the Shamrocks beat a terrible silver team by 1 goal which decided their fate and didn't beat any other team. No one to blame but themselves.
VHL elite would cream most if not all of white. You wear a club shirt and you think you are a stud. Bottom of white is made up of average to bad town B kids. Silver who knows.

Not a Shamrocks dad - one of the coaches of a consistently competitive black team who is simply voicing his opinion on the flawed 06 parity tourney structure
Well, no need to worry about that. The "other" Shamrocks team qualified no problem with 3 wins and 1 loss.
No one's worrying. They just all know they will finish at the bottom of the white. Weren't all the teams wins against silver teams? Way to go 3-1 powerhouse!
2nd 06 shamrocks Will not finish at bottom of white. They played well and beat just as many silver teams as the rest of the parity teams.
They have a good goalie; good coach and a few players that will get better over the summer that will round out at team that will be playing together for a third season. They will finish at the top end of white.

Really didn't play just as well. Only beat Springfield and Congy's by 2. That's not saying much. Now, don't get my wrong, you could finish in the middle with some improvement...and possible if you pull some of the shamrocks from team 1 over as I witnessed when playing at the home rink last year. Saw a kid walk off the ice when the game team 2 was playing in ended and his Mom told him "his team" was in lockeroom x waiting for him. Did I mention Shamrocks team in black was playing next?
No one is saying White is the most skilled level but to label it a "Town C" level is either ignorant or deliberately offensive. Go back and read the post about how the levels compare. "Town A" is just under White. "C" is well below. And before you attack me, my kids play above "White"
You're delusional. The White division has trouble beating Town A teams so saying the Silver is more like C is more accurate due to the fact that most of those kids leave their town programs because they cant make A/B teams and the parents think they are better than they really are.
Not finalized yet , but only team i missed on was the Monarchs. Looks like MMF could sneak in as well and knock out my providence prediction. 8/9 or 7/9 not bad.

PHC East gets in as MMF lays an egg against Cyclones.

So why was the terriers white first game this morning marked as postponed when they were on the ice this morning playing and their 2nd game in early afternoon not scored?
SSK and Terrier Red, 2 former lower end black teams are a combined 3-0 with 25GF and 9 GA. This white division is going to suck! EHF needs to reevaluate this parity format. The black division is working and needs to expand. All black teams should have remained and expanded for Top Gun and MMF who dominated white last season. You would have 2 very competive divisions rather than this mess

Thanks Terriers Dad. Your kid has one game scored right now and you're already whining about being in white?
Didn't realize how much of a disparity between white and black until this weekend. Complete joke. Great way for the EHF to lose players to other leagues and hurt the orgs that were competitive.

If you look at the standings this morning there are several teams above terriers that appear to show they will be very competitive in white. Maybe the terriers are going laying teams that will end up in silver due to their higher rankings in myhockeyrankings? Hmmm. Hence the sendings? So I'd just get over it because it was as pretty clear how annoying it was listening to top gun cry all season about how they could beat black teams and it's so unfair. They sounded worse than my pre teen Daughter. Parity is not perfect nor will it ever be. The top teams in white (and silver) will always feel shafted. There's always next year though!

Second game was at 710 pm, no refs or time keeper showed up. Great job EHF.

They had a game around on the schedule at 2:40 (stil not scored) and one earlier in the morning that said postponed. Why was the earlier game postponed in the first place until 7:10 tonight? You can blame the EHF but it clearly was changed from earlier in the morning and refs needed to be rescheduled. Let me guess.... kids chose their spring baseball games over parity and team got game changed? Who's fault is that?

Oh god, another clown heard from. Terriers lost to top gun at 240, no score sheets to turn in, at 710 which was the scheduled game no refs or time keeper were there, the league moved the postponed thing, probably so they wouldn't look so inept. Sorry the refs got cut.
I agree with the above poster on 06 re: more teams in Black. The Shamrock 06 Black team that has been to the semi's two years in a row and didn't even lose a game in parity being demoted to Tier 1 white is a complete joke.
There must be a lot of parity within all levels of The Fed if the black semi finalist tied two black teams and a white team and barely beat a silver team. What are they worried about, seems like teams at all levels can give them a good game?
For those of you with older players you are more than likely aware of this. For those who are not aware, the older kids get, the more teams level out and there is less disparity between teams in the black and white. And maybe silver, but since that league is newer I wouldn't speculate yet. Looks at the rankings and scores so far, and knowing the relative skill of the Shamrocks team 1, I would expect at least 7-8 of the teams in white to be pretty competitive, so for the terriers red complaining about how white is going to suck, I predict you will not come close to running over the white division. And since your child's team has finished at or near the bottom of black for the last several years, I recommend holding off on pumping your chest out before the season has even started. It often comes back to bite you in the A$$

True that they didn't lose a game but they didn't win enough games. If they had just won one of those ties they would be in. Simple as that.
I don't think they should do parity. I think that there should be three divisions and each organization should have a team at each division and then rename the divisions. Elite renamed to AAA, black to AA , white to A and anything below that you can call development and put teams in the emhl. Similar rules as now. Each organization is allowed only one team at the black and white levels. Each organization is responsible for putting the kids on the right teams at each level and create a real ladder of development that might actually help a few kids
Yeah, they could have won one of the games they tied but, really, should the bounce of a puck determine whether or not you play in a league where you have proven you can successfully compete and, if you don't get that bounce you get put in a league where most of your games will not be competitive?

Ok Dad. Terriers were successful? If anyone got shafted it's the Shamrocks. And if I remember correctly terriers were neck and neck with Kings. So how did you get shafted anymore than either of those two teams?
That’s an incredible 57%, has Rotondo retired their numbers yet? They deserve a life-time black parity waiver, a shiny medal, and free drinks with any meal purchased at Sonic.

You are complaining about a team that did not even win half of their games last season. They went on a hot steak in the playoff round robin. They will be in the top few of white but that doesn't mean they should have stayed in black. The new black teams will figure this out next season also .

Huge issue with refs and timekeepers this weekend. Same thing happened Saturday in Tyngsboro at the 5:30 game. No refs or timekeepers. Rangers agreed to a coach ref'ing so they could play.
Post your final White division for next year. Lets see who is just talking out of their **** or if someone has a clue. In no order my guess
Shamrocks
IHC East
IHC West
SS kings
Terriers red
Terriers white
Shamrocks
Flames
Monarchs
Breakers
Ah- the win against a Boch Blazers team that would be mid pack EMHL and the one goal win against the Breakers team that went to silver doesn't really make them a real deal. This team will have 3 wins next year---maybe. I've got all my cashed out Bitcoin money that says they will be 250GA to 30GF.
Dumb ass, Shamrocks did not play Blazers or Breakers in parity....by the way....they have a good goalie, good D and the offense will be much improved next season.

He was talking about post on phc east being real deal not shamrocks, so calm down there sparky.
On phc east yeah saying theyre real deal is a big stretch. They did tie monarchs which got them in but that was a pretty weak bracket and barely getting by breakers not good sign
