@CHIFan9236024 @tmatthewshockey Do you actually think you are going to bully Steve Yzerman?

@janderson8709 @JrHockeyTruth @Nevincooperkeel @NCDCJrHockey The NCDC was a tuition free league when it first started. USA hockey used the excuse to negate their tier 2 application because they said the USPHL was helping fund it.

@JrHockeyTruth @NCDCJrHockey Lol so the best way to maintain the highest level of hockey in the USA is for the best kids to go play in Canada?

[Louie Adair @loujadair]

@JrHockeyTruth @NCDCJrHockey They want the best players from the best leagues that face the best competition and that is the CHL.

[Louie Adair @loujadair]

@JrHockeyTruth @NCDCJrHockey High level of play? Kids are leaving the NTDP, USHL and the NAHL left and right to play in the CHL. The NCAA does not care about the USHL and its commitment to develop players for the college game.

@VinnysCorner1 @hockeylogic Haha where is Nicklas Lidstrom???

[Darryl Wolski @2112hockey]

Pay to Play Junior Hockey model is this way for these reasons

Part 1
Ice cost per game in average 900.00
Officials on and off ice 600.00
Marketing the team and game on average per game 500.00
DJ and misc staffing 500.00

2500.00 alone in costs to run a game

10.00 per ticket so you need 250 people just to break even on game costs

Part 2 coming soon

@HockeyThinkTank The real reason for this article is USA hockey is upset because USA hockey is basically a monopolized insurance company themselves and Blackbear offers their own insurance to their 18,000 adult league members.

@MikeGrinnell_ Completely unfounded! My kids play at a Blackbear rink and ice is the same price at any other rink in Michigan.

@RearAdBsBlog Once again this comes down to money. USA hockey is upset because they are basically a monopolized insurance company themselves and Blackbear offers their own insurance to their adult leauge 18,000 membership.

[Louie Adair @loujadair]

@hockeylogic Completely unfounded, my kids play out of a Blackbear rink and ice time is no more than anywhere else in Michigan.

@GlennHefferan @hockeylogic @bobssherpa @MinnHockeyWatch @BCHL_Alberta @USHL @usahockey So the USHL is basically a Minnesotan development league with all parameters already in place.

[Minnesota Hockey Watch @MinnHockeyWatch]

Out of the 296 players that attended the @USHL phase II combine in Green Bay exactly ZERO got drafted. You have a better chance of being drafted if you don’t attend. The ULTIMATE money grab!
@usahockey

From the players I spoke with, USHL teams were not in attendance.

@OctopusThrower_ The Redwings need a first round pick in 2026 to offer sheet which they don’t have.
