the black division was a bunch of cheats. there are 3 teams from one bracket in the black and all 3 teams suck. add the north shore shamrocks and half the black div sucks. EHF screwed this up big time. and my kid is on onew of the teams that went 4-0. it should be re-done. what a joke.

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.

Re: O4 Black Parity "Alternates"

This EHF Parity is soooooo much better then the E9. I am excited to listen to you dumb people toil over spring parity and how bad it is going to screw up your summer and 8 months of hockey to follow.

On website,
Breakers forfeit all 4 games, Shamrocks in, instead of Breakers

so they get the bulldogs and the bandits and a forfeit and their in the black division before the Friars?

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.

Sad thing is that the Caps cheated as well and could not get the job done!!!How about those Saints players...Caps?

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.

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. Remember there's always Silver!

Thank god there was always HL and 4 years of JV back a bunch of years ago.

Re: O4 Black Parity "Alternates"

Minuteman Flames only used their 12 full time skaters and 1 goalie for the entire parity tournament. Get your facts straight before you slander 12 year kids. We were the only team to go 4-0 and that was with a legitimate roster

Re: O4 Black Parity "Alternates"

EHF should do the right thing for the kids and make BLACK 12 teams WHITE 10 teams and SILVER 8 teams. They are not losing any money this way (30) teams. Anyone with knowledge of hockey should be able to ascess that there were about 14 teams at parity that could easily be in BLACK. Friars, thunderbirds, Prov Caps, islanders tyngs, all are black teams.
Step up EHF and do the right thing

Re: O4 Black Parity "Alternates"

They only made 10 teams at other div in EHF- They would complain. But 04 was legit with how close some team were. They should put 12 in but they wont

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.

Re: O4 Black Parity "Alternates"

Black 8 teams
White 8 teams
Silver 14 teams

Black division plays each team in the Black division 5 times = 35 games
Black division plays each white division team once = 8 games
Total games 43

White division plays each team in the white division 5 times = 35 games
White Division plays each team in the Black division 1 time = 8 games
Total Games 43

Silver plays each team in the silver division 3 times
Total games 39.

South Shore Kings
Northstars
Islanders Hockey Club
Minuteman Flames
Woonsocket North Stars
Boston Jr. Eagles
Providence Jr. Friars
Greater Boston Vipers
North Shore Shamrocks
New Hampshire Jr. Monarchs

Kings win the division...Islanders win the playoffs.
Top 8 teams compete well. Last 2 teams don't win a combined total of 12 games.

May the fun begin.

Re: O4 Black Parity "Alternates"

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"

I saw the Islanders at parity and they had a couple of kids with different gear out there so I'm assuming they picked up at least a few. Couldn't tell where they were coming from though.

Parity this time of year for next year is awful!...Can we agree that the Valley League handles parity the best? However with the early movement of teams schedule can't be set at beginning of year...

Re: O4 Black Parity "Alternates"

IHC picked up a couple of E9 skaters and a goalie. They looked real good at parity right where they left off from last season. 1 point last season and IHC would have made a deep playoff run last season.

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.
