That's Good? What's Going on in There?

99's will be worse than 98's if you can believe that ! Org is sliding fast.....

They already have the top 99 goalie coming you start from the back out,their 98 goalie was chosen for the Brick team they will be just fine

There are no top goalies at the 98 and 99 level. There are only kids who are afraid of the puck and those who are not. Calm down there dad. Lets wait a few year before we declare your boy the next Roy or Luongo.

but maybe someone from CYA made that post?

If they can get any decent skaters the 99's will be fine . There is some decent talent up North and after all the shots that goalie saw playing for the 98's this season , they have a good start . On the other hand , there is a 99 goalie on the Mission team . Will he also play 99, cause if so Mission and CYA are ahead of the pack right now ?

you have the wrong 99 cya goalie....the one that saw all the shots may still be on the 98 team and is much better than the one your thinking about, even if he's on the brick team. And yes the 99 goalie on the mission is going to play 99's and he is very very good (cream of the crop), also not on the brick team.
the kid from winnetka is far from being the top 99 goalie and has a long way to go.

This is CYA remember. The doormats at almost every level every year! What will change with 98's or 99's? Nothing! Same bad rink, bad coaching. The only thing that will change is that the fees will go up and they will cash your check quicker.

I totally agree.

I don't think so. The 98's from Winnetka and the elite ice dogs could change the face of this program. It could be very competitive come the fall.

"Change the face of the program"? Please park the beemer and put the Scotch down!

the best winnetka kids aren't coming to CYA, they're heading to TI
will they be better?- YES
will they still get beat every game? - YES
will they compete with lower level teams - YES
you can mold poop into a cupcake, but it will always be poop

when will they announce the coaching line ups for next season at all the orgs.

No changes for the 98 team head/assistant

Hey smartass, why don't you get a life. You are bashing 10 year olds. Who cares where the kids are going to play.

I care! AA players should play AA. Not at a watered down bottom feeder program like CYA. Now I hear JK is helping out? OMG! What a joke and a bad guy

It really is crap. CYA has to thank god one is born every second.

Why you care so much? Looks like your kid is not playing for CYA. Enjoy AA and leave the kids that want to learn something alone. I am sure all the coaches are bad for your kid. Have fun at AA.

Gentelman, and I use that term loosely, relax. If the kids from Winnetka CS and the Elite Ice Dogs are not that good, wat are you worried about? I think that you don't care to see this team get better, afraid that they might beat your expectations?

What is your problem with the coach? Why do you keep refering to him as a bad one? Did he beat you at some level in the past?

The CYA 98's coach is great. The person from the previous post is referring to somebody else.
AAA Hockey is for kids that want to learn and work hard.

......... and AA kids do not want to learn and work hard?? What kind of moronic statement is that. MY guess at the age of 10 whether they palyed AAA or AA they all worked hard and learned alot about the game

AA kids work very hard.
AAA kids also work very hard.
I work very very hard.

Glad we got that settled.

Will someone now explain why if the CYA 98 coach is very good and he brings in Elite Ice Dogs and Winnetka CS players, that this team can not be very competitive.

Remember, this year they get to check and that will change the game for a lot of kids.

How many times and for how long the kids from AA have dry land? You get 15 minutes before the game at the rink and the kid is ready to play? Please give me a break. How many parents are helping the kids with their skates?

Isn't the game played on the ice? How many games did dryland help you win? BTW, we had dryland once every 2 weeks rather than once a week and payed 6k less than you.

Let's do the math. In AAA kids play around 60 games per season and about 100 hours of on ice practice and around 100 hours of dry land (very important for the conditioning of the kids). Cost is about $5800.00. In AA most programs are about $3000.00. At age 10 the most important is the ice time. How many games and practices the AA kids have per season? By the way in AAA games each period is 17 minutes vs 12 in AA.

A better stat for dopey experts. How many Squirt major AAA players will be a AAA Midget major player, on average according to USA Hockey Registration stats? Nation wide? ONE. How many in 2008-2009 last year started as AAA Squirts and finished last season in AAA MM? Do your homework and save your money.

Your kid is playing now, why you are looking in the future. Looks like you give up on your kid already. Let the kids play and learn. In the same logic why go to a better school, the kid may never become a doctor, or a lawyer. I rather spend money for sports now than later when is too late. Kids are learning a lot more than just hockey, they are learning to work hard and try there best.

Can anyone tell me what they think the team (CYA 98's) will look like this year? With all the rumors floating around, what are your thoughts?

wow does it ever get quiet on here after states. everyone medicating up for the next season. It will be better next year. new coach(last one sucked) new linemates(they wouldnt pass the puck last year) more development /exposure..... hahahaha

FYI...the coaching staff is the same for next year.
They will be better than they were, whatever that means.

Great post. Can it get worse?

How about telling me what is being done to make it better.
I'm more interested in what they might do then what they did. Past is the past. Who are they bringing in? Who's in Goal?

Maybe some ID and Winnetka kids...they could be just what they need. In the nets, they have one really strong 99 from last year and maybe some other 98's coming in to try out. Should be an entertaining try-out

SO far, all I see is negative crap. Does anybody know what the 98's will look like or not. F*ck the negative post. Save it for your spouse.

Look this is how AAA works at the very yound levels. There are not enough players at these levels for CYA and Fury. You are asking how the team will look. The answer is the same way they have looked for the last 15 years.CYA and the Fury have a super hard time putting together decent teams at the lower levels. Both the Fury and CYA had bad years at the 98 & 97 levels. There location kills them both. Location is why TI and Mission land players more able to play AAA at the beginning years. As the kids get older there are times when these two clubs could put out a good product. At the 94 level when RT had CYA he had the team playing great hockey, beating some of the best teams around, CYA MM team was ranked #1 in the USA about 3 years ago because the coach was able to pull good players who were not playing at the JR level back to CYA MM. The Fury plays decent hockey at the bantam and Midget levels. Please dont take this as negitive, it just the way things are. AAA and AA will see lighter numbers across the board next season because of the mess the country is in. These will not help CYA or any club with enrollment.

CYA 98 had a tough year but will be better this year. CYA 97 turned a big corner and beat Mission and TI this year and had a season where they got better all year. At 97 Mission and TI better add players for upcoming season or CYA will be probable top team in state.

Best teams are where the best players/athletes decide to go and then who develops them the best.

Well Said!

How is CYA shaping up so far? Any thoughts?

You have got to be kidding me.

You can't just say you have got to be kidding. Give us your two cents.

Two cents? There are enough AAA Caliber players for two Clubs at EVERY LEVEL PERIOD. Check out the Mission's Spring Hockey Info and Testimonial. The statistics speak for themselves. CYA and Fury provide a place for players to play in a AAA Hockey League, but they have no business playing there. LOOK at their records through the seasons. There are good coaches and shit coaches at all 4 clubs. Only 2 clubs get the benefit of the true AAA talent and it's not CYA or Fury. How's CYA shaping up?

CYA could have been one of the top clubs in the country but their board only care about money and two teams... MM and U19 because the Prez kids are on those teams. The rest are the bill payers and arent even on the radar.

big numbers for spring and the current clinic skates are very well attended

At the 95 level, it is because of the new coach.

Why did the Mission mm coach move to CYA 95's? He was at one of the two best clubs for younger level development if the player belongs there.....uhhh....wait, sorry. I answered my own question. And f*cked up ILLINOIS rolls on. Do your homework on this clusterf*ck relationship, (the coach, past tribulations w/CYA, AHAI, you can't make this shit up).

Based on your previous posts under yout IP address you really have a bone to pick with CYA. If you are so well informed tell us all what the problems were with this coach, CYA and AHAI that were so tragic that he was hired again. Give us the real reason for why he is at CYA now. It sounds to me like you have annointed Mission and TI as the best, or excuse me, only two AAA teams next season at the 95 level. Any clue what the new Mission 95 coach thinks of CYA coaches kid or what the two coaches relationship is? Do you know Mission will be better than Fury, CYA? If your going to spout off at least know the facts or ask the questions directly to those involved. A little quote right from your keyboard 3-3-09 under another topic, " no one scouts little kids, who cares" apparently you do very much. Give your opinion in two years when it counts- I will be here- will you???

Chuck loves coaching, and loves coaching his son. that's not wrong. water always finds it's own level. those who play for Chuck, deserve to play for Chuck. Best of luck to CYA.

You did J. Turn up your iPod.

Hey Now _ How do the CYA 98's look? Have they got any new talent there and will they be a lot better than the team they fielded last year? What do the new kids look like?

looks promising lot of id's around alomg with several other org's

Which ID kids? Are the the better 98's ? How do they fit in?

Springs skates are going on, how does it look for the 98 CYA team now? Vast improvement over last year?

Yes, but Chuck Linkenheld is sexy, although I'd love to have Chico "direct" me, especially in the "offensive" zone.

Okay..so what is going on with the other levels?
Heard there have been some talented kids showing up.
Especially at the 96 and 95 levels.

CYA is a dead program for long time.

Why so many numbers at spring if such a dead program,looks like a lot going on cya hater

Is CYA moving to Hoffman Estates?

Where did this rumor come from?

Rumor it certainly may be, but I've been hearing this since at least the 07-08 season. It is not a new rumor for sure.

Of course they are, and he bought the Rough Riders, Ohio, the Steel.......Fox Valley.......Kalamazoo.......Center Ice.......All Bullshit.

The girls u19 team will be out of Hoffman maybe thats how the rumor started

Nope heard their moving to Hoffman Estates. Wait and see fellas it will happen.

what's up with the midget program at CYA?
Schedule has first few weeks cancelled???
No kids or other problems?

Cya is not going anywhere great numbers at all levels jealous f ks

Nobody is jealous besides what is there to be jealous of you idiot. Everybody is doing their due diligence right now and if cya is moving west then that needs to be factored in

cause everyone was in St.Louis @ Monster

Focus on one thing, your player's development. Not their team's wins/losses. Are the players getting better? This is all for a run at Midgets. Nothing before that counts. Nothing. Win MWEHL, State, even Nationals. Some great childhood memories, nothing else. Work on your son/daughter's skill development on and off-ice and try to give them a shot for midgets where someone will look at them if they are in AAA at that level.

Miami Chicago Players this year:

LoVerde, Vince Defenseman CYA Entire AAA Career
Wingels, Tommy Draft Pick Sharks CYA as a youth then T.I. at Midgets
Tomassoni, Matt Defensman - Chicago Mission
Kevin Roeder- Defenseman Chicago Mission
Eichenlaub, Raymond Defenseman Chicago Mission

To Youth Development,

Let me summarize all your bull shit into a few sentences...
"CYA is terrible. Always have, always will. We get a few talented players at an early age because of our location to North shore talent (Wingles and Roeder)played for Wilmette as Mites. Then they wise up and get the HELL out. The AAA Benders that are not very good, stick around and pay our Bills. We get new coaches every year. This years flavor of the month is Martin Malley, a fuzzy foreigner who yells, screams, and bangs his stick on the ice as most CYA parents who are cluless have one hand down their pants while they watch. But we do this every year so the checks keep rolling in. We are looking at the 2002's now so we can pull the wool over their eyes as well."

Charlie Dodero would not be in the Ushl if Bb didn't give him the opportunity to play major midget at such a young age their have been plenty more the people that matter kow the diff your kid must of been cut right buddy

You stupid idiot. Martin is the best coach for skills. His classes are always full. Sorry your kid got cut from CYA.

Just because you don't like CYA, that is your problem. It is n ot for everyone. If kids want to play there and the families want to be there, why do you care? Worry about your club. If everyone would worry about there own instead of everyone elses, the world would be a better place.

wingles, eichenlob, roeder all TI players
do your homework

Were playing dig the proximity

I was on the CYA 98 website. they have their Bresy roster up.???? No Ice Dog's.
What happened?? Where are they playing??

but they all started at Wilmette. AA.

JK has no players coming from IDs. Says it all.

I know what a joke!!

Your son would develop more and have more fun playing street hockey next year than playing for JK. His entire ID team from last year won't play for him next year! What does that tell you?

If there is no Ice Dogs on 98's, than they are not good.

If you are complaining about AA coach, you are for rude awakening in AAA. Shut up and let the coaches coach.

The team picked up a few Winnetka kids that will help but with no ID kids, that team won't be very good.

Don't worry, the id's are comming...beware their bite is nastier than their bark.

This CYA team will do just fine.

Spring doesn't mean a thing. You have to wait until the tryouts in May.

I like the bowling refernece (7-10). The better bowling reference for this site would be Turkey as most of the posters on this site are turkey's.

Which ID players are you (CYA) expecting? I know they are 98's, but what position do they play and how good are they?

Good Question...anyone now the answer?

None are going. The 4 you were hoping for at the 98 level are either going to ti/mission or back to the dogs

and no 99 id's to cya.

BS...I heard two of the ID 98's are going to CYA for sure. This years CYA team will be much more competitive than last year and will certainly have a different look.

I hope so.They can't be much worse than last year. However, I don't think adding two ID's will improve the team dramatically.

CYA will be better than last year....but so will everyone else. OH NO !!!
Looks like they'll be bottom of the barrel again.

Rumor has it that Mission and TI have players looking to exit. Whether due to cost or general unhappiness, I don't know.

CYA is picking up some good plaayers from AA programs. The Winnetka kids were CS and are very good. The ID pair are two of the best 98's that were on the Squirt team last year.

So let's enjoy this off season and then lets see what's what. RK is a very good coach that got stuck with a mediocre team last year. This year will be a different story.


That's the rumor and I like it.

latest:
RM to 99Mission is done deal.
JK out at CYA, 4 id's on the way to 99CYA.
TI and Mission are loaded, so wont matter.

RM to mission has been known since January. JK not leaving cya and 4 IDs not going to the 99 team. Just one---his kid. MIssion loaded, TI could be

Not thinking about 99's, tell me about 98's

sorry...since january. done deal meaning it was old news.
you are not up to date on your CYA facts.

TI reps are lurking around the Central Illinois area. Several kids are skating with TI and Fury this summer. Attempting to pick up very skilled AA players who are ready for AAA

Does this mean CYA is not recruiting or trying to lure top AA players who are ready? What are you saying?

there will be a lo of aa kids joining the aaa parade even @cya imagine that

That's because they can't make it anywhere else.

You must be the same negative person who made your team look bad during the season. The rest of the parents on your team were great people.

Has anyone seen the 98 tryouts from Monday night? Does it look like this team will be a lot better than last year?

How is it looking at CYA for midgets (minor and major)not looking for smart a--comments, please only reply if you have serious and constructive comments to make.

How a bout amn answer on the last two post? How are the 95's and 98's looking?

They will be a lot better, few ti casts off who will fit in nicely

Are you talking 95's or 98's? I heard the 98 team will be a very competitive team this year.

Teams are now selected. How does this 98 team for CYA look ? Any Surprises here?

The 98's are all new kids and worst than last year.

Sounds to me like your little star did not get back on the team. Bitter are we???I was hoping for a more objective view.

They will have 5 wins the most the whole season.

Sad to see people rise up to the occasion and bash 10/11 year old kids. I thought this was about the kids, not parents ego's. Any time there are try-outs it's sad to see kids being cut, very hard on these kids who give it there all and don't make the clubs / teams they want to make.

Whether your player made the club/team they tried out for, maybe parents should teach their kids a little compasion for the kid that did not. Every player has or will be on the other end at some point.

Thanks for sharing your insightful comments. There are so many posts on these sites that are downright cut throat, makes you wonder how these kids will turn out with parents whose only mission in life is to attack issues in a negative way. I hope those kids learn not to take the same ugly path.

Is it working..........

at least not for me...

why is the cya site not working, or is it just for registered players?

why is the cya site not working, or is it just for registered players?

because yet again they have failed to hire the right webmaster...

OUCH BABY OUCH!!

can they be expected to field a successful tier 1 aaa program if they can't even figure out their own website.

It is called re-designing the website. You people need to relax and find something better to complain about. Would you rather they redesign their website in October. This is June, nothing is going on in Hockey. So they take the site down for improvements and you knuckleheads find that to banter about. You really need to find something more productive to focus your time on.

Ya know, just because you "redesign the website" every year does not mean you will "resdesign" the club. You can't get blood from a dead pig. Call it what you want.

Why can't you get blood from a dead pig? The live pigs are very dangerous. It would seem to be easier to obtain said blood from a dead one.

Sure the blood can be easier obtained, but is rendered useless by the state of the pig obtained from.

(it clots)

What's the latest on the 98 team? Are the new kids going to make a difference? Thoughts,comments..
