Yep....only saving grace is if they do the right thing


just curious coach, whats the right thing? It would be a major snowball effect, can not have 3 teams forfeit all 4 games without making the entire age group redo parity.

Re: O4 Black Parity "Alternates"

Hey idiot, did you ever think that maybe Eagles didnt have same # of players each day because of 1. Baseball 2. Lacrosse 3. Illness. Coach is carrying more players next season. Get your facts straight before you come whining on the dboard. Clearly, you were on one of teams Eagles beat this weekend. EHF already checked this out and the roster and players all legit. Move on!

What's the difference? Friars only won 1 game, surely we can't count TG as a legit win they are town hockey B-level.

Friars had a joke of a pool and couldn't get the job done case closed.

Caps had a much more difficult road and didn't get the job done either case closed part 2.

You're an idiot. Not one Saints kid played in parity. The 04 Saints are terrible and only won games because they had the best kids from Warwick. Caps team is all Warwick and SWS kids. This team will do very well in White, which is the same as Town A. They rolled the dice and lost.

White is far ahead of town A.... So the 04 team destroyed SNEHC this past season with a GD of 170 and won league final 11-1..

And now they don't qualify for Black, so which is it Tier 1 teams are very good or SNEHC is the worst league on the planet?

Oh and Friars couldn't qualify either..

I'm confused...

From what I saw of the 20 teams at Black Parity, only Top Gun would be a poor SNEHC team. The majority of SNEHC was barely equivalent to "A"(town) level hockey, and even the teams that did not qualify for Black would have their way with 3/4 of that league. So the person blindly saying White is the equivalent of Town "A" is way off of reality. Do you really think SRI,Wave2, Vineyard, Crusaders, ect are in the same realm as Friars, Islanders, Breakers, Cyclones, MMF ect? Come on now.

All leagues at all levels have top and bottom teams. SSC top A teams and Valley would do quite well in White. Your probably one of the parents who was talking about how your Caps team could win at the Elite level. Now reality slapped you and you will try to justify that White is so much better then Town A. Same parents were bashing White a week before saying it'd be a waste. Now White is apparently awesome. You over estimated the teams level which is fine, but don't preach the White is better then A. Your a 3rd level team man. You have 300 kids playing at a higher level then your White superstar. Your just paying more $ for fancy warm up suits and bags. Good luck in your next parity.

Agree with this. This looks AWFUL for the EHF. What basically happened is the integrity of 3 divisions has just been ruined. The Breakers and CT Rangers are now going into SILVER which, let's face it, they will utterly destroy that Division. The 2 teams that should be in SILVER will be in WHITE and most likely be out of place. The 2-3 teams that benefited from the cheaters will also be bottom of the barrel in BLACK. Shamrocks beat an EMHL team (Bulldogs) the Bandits were 14-19 in WHITE, and the other Win was a Forfeit. The Friars beat TOP GUN, and tied the TBIRDS who had 10 goals for and 7 of the 10 against TOP GUN. Something needs to be done, when you are affecting 3 Divisions.

Black division is softer than it's been in a while. Really embarrassing for the EHF. There are at least 3 or 4 teams that were in tougher parity groupings that are in the white that would have done much better than those 3 teams that got in.

They won't do anything about it because the cheating clubs are founding members! Plus Tier 1 is a cash grab, if it were about the kids they would play parity in Sept over three weeks, everyone plays each other and then play 28-30 game schedule. It is the the only thing that the BHL does right!
They way they have it now, on top of charging 30 teams league fees for 3 divisions they get paid for 2 Parity round Tournaments! Keep it real Fed! Every dynasty fails because of arrogance

How about a more realistic Black 8 teams White 14 teams and Silver 8 teams because that is a truer demarcation of talent, with the majority of kids being average and in the middle of the pack, a few kids above average and a few kids below average.

Guys, let's not forget that the E9/BHL parity at 2004 was bungled last year as well, and it made for a weak E9. Things happen. I just wish they would be more aggressive moving teams mid-season between Black/White, White/Silver, or E9/BHL the way BHL moves teams from American to National.

Re: O4 Black Parity "Alternates"

With the 04s why aren't we doing this in the fall when they can check and the kids that are playing as "alternates" would have conflicts with their regular team. I know, it's just about selling ice.

Re: O4 Black Parity "Alternates"

Although the concept of parity is a great idea, in practice it is very flawed especially when the rules of the game will shift dramatically next year. On top of the change in checking, the gamesmanship of playing with the rosters will only serve to broaden the gap. Having the team split regionally makes a lot more sense than anything else I have seen so far. As for drawing a line in the sand based on a random number (10), that's as silly as the E9 concept.
