Good teams from around the Northeast who want to play against other good teams and not deal with E9/Fed B.S. They had 3 teams win at Nationals and have kids going to some D1 schools so it looks pretty good to me. 16 game schedule with limited travel. Teams play 8 games at showcases etc. They seem to be adding more NE teams each year so they're doing something right.
Plus as you know the FED and E9 are so incestual they only play themselves, so teams from Ct. NH etc.. use this for the competition. Believe it or not, there are good teams outside of the FED/E9.
These parents from EJ teams are probably more realistic then FED/E9 parents who spend/travel much more. Nah, I take that back, they're all nuts!
If you think that one will not offer better development then another then you are in denial. An EHF Elite team playing a MPDHL team at the youth level would be no fun for either team with no development. C'mon, are you serious.

yes am serious. And before everyone gets their panties in a twist. If you read my last post it said my kid plays both ehf elite and mdphl. I did say better player does not necessarily mean better development. Friends son moved to a very competitive top two EHF elite team. He complained to me that coaches are not developing instead they are out recruiting the next big thing.
player development is not only about the league. It is mainly about the coach. I don't care about the "prestige" that comes with playing elite. I worry about what the coach's philosophy is about developing players.
I also said this applies not to all teams in all years but to believe that there are only elite players in the EHF and only town players in the MPDHL is ludicrous. and by the way people are reacting, all I can say is.
calm down.

There are plenty of teams and organizations in MA that are as good or better than EHF Elite teams but don't play in that league because of the cost. In order for new teams to be admitted to the EHF Elite, the organization has to come up with a significant amount of money to get them in. Teams at the youth levels are all about the coaches. Plenty of good coaches out there that will develop players that the youth levels.

Please name one? VJW and Wizards are certainly on par with EHF and some of the CT teams and certainly AYJHL NY - NJ teams. Who else please??

Its really not worth arguing because apparently you are so ignorant on the topic it wouldn't matter what I say. I could post MHR rankings, tournament results, etc and you still wouldn't be convinced.

Not sure what your eyeballs are seeing but you should get your eyes checked. There aren't plenty of team and org that are better than EHF teams…sorry but its just not true no matter what your messed up eyeballs are telling you.

Perhaps you are right!! I would just be curious what programs are better? I named two that are certainly on par and alluded to the Ct- Ny-Nj teams which are every bit as good across the board. I would be curious which local programs you are referring to? I do know that the reason teams are kept out of Fed has to do with territory and skill level.( owning a rink helps too) This is a fact! Nothing to do with cost to the organization. EMHL (?) is owned by Fed and allows new teams in and I Imagine will give the teams that excel an opportunity to move up. Am I wrong?

ok so let's try this. 05 NE Jr Hurricanes went 32-2-2 in their division. The bottom three 05 Fed elite teams went 0-36-1, 0-9-1, 9-31-2. All FED teams are ranked higher on MHR. You don't think this team could compete with the bottom three teams? (and no my kid does not play for the hurricanes, nor am I involved with the league or the program.)
And to the gentleman calling me ignorant without knowing me. Try me. I amthe last one shying away from a good discussion and admitting when I am wrong.

No the 05 NE Jr Hurricanes would not beat the bottom three EHF teams. Its equivalent to the bottom 3 NHL teams and the best AHL. Games wouldn't be close.

want to talk about delusional. time to get over your "Elite" EHF cant be beat crap. any of the top teams in EJEPL/E9/MPDL would compete just fine in the EHF elite. Would they win it. Maybe not but dont try and tell everyone there is no chance because then you just like another idiot paying $4000 to boost his own ego. Also MHR is a total joke because you can BUY a higher ranking. Once that happens all of the information becomes worthless.

You are nuts. You cannot buy a higher ranking on MHR…but of course you think you can thus why your kids team isn't ranked higher. DELUSIONAL. Your kids Town C team would roll your Town A team…we get it.

This last one is hilarious ! That Bottom 05 EHF Elite team was worse than the Bottom BHL team, and that 05 Knights AAA team was ugly ! I am familair with kids that played on both team. Not saying that speaks about the EHF as a whole, but that does show you that being an Elite EHF team means nothing.

great argumentation skills on your part. aren't you happy that it is still cold outside so you can wear your EHF team jacket?
Its really not worth arguing because apparently you are so ignorant on the topic it wouldn't matter what I say. I could post MHR rankings, tournament results, etc and you still wouldn't be convinced.
My Hockey Rankings are a fair indicator but heavily favor the stronger teams and leagues. I trust the eyeball test. Please provide one team. I promise to keep it cordial and respectful
ok so let's try this. 05 NE Jr Hurricanes went 32-2-2 in their division. The bottom three 05 Fed elite teams went 0-36-1, 0-9-1, 9-31-2. All FED teams are ranked higher on MHR. You don't think this team could compete with the bottom three teams? (and no my kid does not play for the hurricanes, nor am I involved with the league or the program.)
And to the gentleman calling me ignorant without knowing me. Try me. I amthe last one shying away from a good discussion and admitting when I am wrong.
No the 05 NE Jr Hurricanes would not beat the bottom three EHF teams. Its equivalent to the bottom 3 NHL teams and the best AHL. Games wouldn't be close.
This last one is hilarious ! That Bottom 05 EHF Elite team was worse than the Bottom BHL team, and that 05 Knights AAA team was ugly ! I am familair with kids that played on both team. Not saying that speaks about the EHF as a whole, but that does show you that being an Elite EHF team means nothing.
That's the problem is that everyone looks at the top teams in the EHF Elite and think that means the whole league is better than all the others. The bottom 1/3 to 1/2 of teams in the EHF Elite are no better than the top teams in the MPDHL, BHL or E9. The only reason is that they are in the "Elite" is that the organizations paid to get them in or they are founding members.

If you think that one will not offer better development then another then you are in denial. An EHF Elite team playing a MPDHL team at the youth level would be no fun for either team with no development. C'mon, are you serious.
yes am serious. And before everyone gets their panties in a twist. If you read my last post it said my kid plays both ehf elite and mdphl. I did say better player does not necessarily mean better development. Friends son moved to a very competitive top two EHF elite team. He complained to me that coaches are not developing instead they are out recruiting the next big thing.
player development is not only about the league. It is mainly about the coach. I don't care about the "prestige" that comes with playing elite. I worry about what the coach's philosophy is about developing players.
I also said this applies not to all teams in all years but to believe that there are only elite players in the EHF and only town players in the MPDHL is ludicrous. and by the way people are reacting, all I can say is.
calm down.
There are plenty of teams and organizations in MA that are as good or better than EHF Elite teams but don't play in that league because of the cost. In order for new teams to be admitted to the EHF Elite, the organization has to come up with a significant amount of money to get them in. Teams at the youth levels are all about the coaches.

HUH?? You just contradicted yourself in the same sentence! I didn't know that was even possible!
Pretzel logic!! There worst team in one division is better than your worst team in one division which doesn't mean anything about the league as a whole, but shows you that league isn't all that???
Wanna try that again?

Sure, and I will make it as simple as possible so that you can keep up. I am saying that just because your kids plays EHF elite does not mean that they are better then every other kid in every other league at every division. Thus, just having the Elite EHF moniker does not make you elite.
You want to look at it as the worst team in a league versus the worst team in the league, on a level playing field, apples to apples.
The problem with your reading comprehension is right on par with your logic. My comparison was that the worst team in the "BEST" elite league was actually worse that the worse team in the Worse League at the AAA level. SO just being an EHF Elite team is really not an accurate gauge.
Do you understand that now... an elite team in the best league according to you dingbats was worse than the worse team in the worst league... so I was saying that example does not speak for the entire EHF bit its a lot closer and sometimes opposite of what you think.
Bottom line... if your kid is average, then playing in the EHF does not make him elite or any better than any other player in any league in of itself.

Ha ha. You are the poster child of the dad whose kid got cut and uses his mental shell game to justify it his own mind! Ha, ha. You are tortured! Ha, ha you funny guy!!
Top to bottom EHF is far and above the others! Everybody knows it. It's ok, some of the other teams and players are equally good. So go hang your hat on that Chief.
Now, Please tell me what organization your kid plays on, please, please. But spell it out clearly because I am a mental midget who plays checkers and you are a Grandmaster Chess playa.. Playa...
Your New England Jr. Hurricanes team beat the East Coast Wizards Select team. News flash, you didn't play the top team. The East Coast Wizards Elite team would of destroyed your son's 05 team. You are delusional.
As for the EJ teams being strong, well the ones in NY, NJ, and PA are. The 20 from around here are garbage like your New England Jr Hurricanes organization. I would put the following orgs in this category of being garbage:
First, at the youth level
cp dynamos
nh monarchs
northern cyclones
RI Hitmen
Cisco Bay
NS Wings
new england jr. hurricanes
maine moose
new england wolves
then at the midget and up level (Which don't even have 20 teams from around here in it, I'm not including the Connecticut teams).
NS Wings (Org does not even have youth teams anymore)
nh monarchs
nh avalanche (BTW, youth teams play in the E9/BHL)
boston bandits (BTW, youth teams play in the Fed)
Hell you have teams from California in this idiotic league. How the hell does that work?
That is a real strong league you got going there. EJ and MPDHL should just fold.

My son has played E9, Fed Elite, as well as some lower leagues and town. The problem is that there is so much demand for an alternative to town hockey that all of these teams ( and in step many leagues) have cropped up. This in of itself is not a bad thing! The problem is that the Two Powerhouse leagues have their own agendas and self interests in mind. Maybe it is good business but certainly not good for all. They are protecting themselves as a league ( Quality Brand) and as individual organizations ( Territory) by controlling who they allow in and what level they place them in. The Programs that want to make a run of it are forced to create their own leagues, join a lesser league or play as independents. Much tougher to sell the parents on the quality of the program and the opportunity to develop the players when everybody is sh**tting on their NEW program. Countries like Finland work together developing ALL the kids early and then allowing the clubs to compete against each other later on. It's too bad we will never be able make the necessary changes ( Socialist vs Capitalistic countries). Our society would never allow for that type of collaboration.
