Wash Lil Caps No Longer Moving to St James?

[Anonymous]

Rumors at the Ice Rink this morning — apparently, it was announced at a parent meeting last night that Saint James is no longer going to host Washington Little Capitals. Instead, they will stay at Ion or maybe go to Haymarket.

Tryouts for the autumn are next week.

We all signed contracts that if our child was accepted, we were playing with WLC from August till February or thereabouts.

If it’s practice is three times a week and games on the weekend, this can be a 15 hour driving drain in our week.

WTF?

Haymarket was what they were saying early February.

Easy solution: Just skip tryouts. Strange that the St. James wouldn’t have its premier hockey program in its own rink, though.

That’s not an easy solution, it’s a cutting off one’s own nose . . .

Why are you posting retorts when you know nothing about the culture of each rink and their programs?

Those contracts are really not enforceable. And especially if they pull a bait and switch like that

I know a thing or two which is I wouldn’t bring my kid within a mile of Little Caps, especially under the new arrangement.

What's the new arrangement? My kid was a Little Cap for 7 years. There were ups and downs, of course, and there is no one from the club who was there when he was.

St James bought it.

Which is what exactly?

They can't go to Ion, it's just not an option. Ask the Little Caps director for clarification. I see a lot of Little Caps players at Rockville this morning.

St. James is transitioning the Little Caps into their Academy/School

Rumors are true.

So is this that St. James is now having their Little Caps program play elsewhere, or is it that the original owners are trying to back out of the purchase by St James?

[Anonymous]

If true, probably the biggest embarrassment in DC youth sports history.

They just suddenly changed the location of the 3rd day of tryouts this week from St James back to Ion. So that will keep the rumors alive
