We are lucky that that Black Bear hasn’t made a bigger push in this area. A lot of our organizations play in their leagues but St. James dropped this year.

What are you talking about that they haven’t made a bigger push in this area?. He owns one of the only two AAA organizations in this area and the only juniors program in the DMV. We left Teem Maryland after 4 years because we couldn’t deal with the scumbaggery anymore.

Right? And the article briefly mentions Rob Weiss, who as the "operator" of Rockville ice arena sets the price of what all the players in the nonprofit MYHA club pay for ice time there. The same nonprofit fraud model as the one the article describes happening with Team Maryland. We left MYHA when I realized that.

To other MYHA families: You deserve better. You really do.

Does Weiss or his company own an interest in the rink?

I haven't been able to determine who's he actual owner. I've always seen Weiss referenced as the "operator". Meanwhile MYHA is, apparently, leasing it. The entry on the developer's web site says, "It was purchased in 2004 and immediately master leased to its largest ice licensee, Montgomery Youth Hockey Association (MYHA), on a long-term basis."
https://www.themavengroup.us/maryland
So of course Weiss would have a financial interest in the rink, as I presume he is not the "operator" doing this all for free out of the goodness of his heart. This assumption is backed up by how much other $$$ he earns from the self-described "volunteer-driven" organization.
The tax returns for the fiscal year ending 6/25 (publicly available at the link below) show that he received an $87k salary for ~25 hrs work per week. The club spent $2.1 million for "occupancy" --this would be ice time (players paid at total of $3m. in fees/dues--as per Sched. A/III/a. 2.--). "Land, buildings, and equipment" is listed as an asset worth $807k (page 11) and later in Schedule D, page 2 this is explained as representing "Leaseholder improvements."
Also, at the end (Schedule O), the form states on a note to Part VI, section A, line 3. "The organization has delegated control over management duties to Robert Weiss of PB Consulting, an independent contractor who serves as executive director of the organization." Presumably, since if he did these "management duties" voluntarily, as part of the $87k he's already paid by MYHA, this would not need to be disclosed in this manner. So he's getting an income from whatever is in the $13k of management costs and perhaps other minor things not itemized.
And in Part VI schedule B it states that the organization does not have a written conflict of interest policy. Meanwhile, the $246k MYHA devoted to "travel expenses" raises eyebrows (players pay for their own.)
https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/521035424/202620559349301957/full

In MYHA's 2022 990 (schedule L), it states that MYHA pays Weiss's consulting company (PB Consulting) $81K for "scheduling" and other services, and that this was approved by MYHA's board. They also paid the "Nothing but Net" coaching outfit--run by fellow board member Rob Keegan and employer of Weiss's son Mike, ~$68k. (keep in mind that players have the additional opportunity to sign up/pay for additional "Nothing but Net" clinics/classes at the rink. This $68k is the part that players can't avoid paying indirectly to Keegan and Weiss. https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/521035424/202321329349305022/full
This disclosure does not appear in the most recent public tax filing, though. Would Weiss be doing the scheduling for free? Maybe it's in the $193k of "other" expenses in 2024, and someone else does it--I highly suspect it's a crony of his.

One reason this kind of thing matters is that the $3m raised by MYHA from players doesn't get taxed. A good chunk of the $3 then goes to the pockets of Weiss and Keegan, which is illegal as the article explains (in reference to the Team Maryland example). Whereas if you run a regular business, charging people $ to participate in your activity and/or use your facilities, you'd pay tax.

Interesting! One other thing about MYHA is that the main clinics are run by the Keegan NBN business, which seems like a conflict of interest since he is the director of MYHA and has influence over team selections. This is especially true for the younger ages, as he coaches the 10AA team that is the primary feeder to TM, so his clinics are packed by younger kids trying to get in his radar. Other rinks I’m familiar with have clinics that are run by the organization or a private group not associated with the team.

I honestly never realized there was so much shady business going on at MYHA. I googled it quickly, and it looks like the girls director also runs a training business. As you mentioned, that seems like a big conflict of interest for team selection.

That is another good point. I was mainly pointing to financial double-dealing, but Keegan's control of team selection, as you point out, is another dimension of the corruption. It was when my kid was around that 10U bracket that my spouse watched a tryout (Selects?) and reported back that there wasn't a direct relationship between clearly better players and those that got picked for the better spots, and thought perhaps being a NBN customer played a role (although even then thought it might be just a narrow situation confined to that person.) That was when I thought I'd look into who earns what at MYHA and...yikes--it raised all sorts of red flags. We then switched clubs (I've alluded to this in other threads).

I didn't even look into this TBH. But I'm glad you pointed it out--another thing people should look into more.
Shady business is an understatement!!

PP again, I should say, this was my spouse's opinion, and I initially replied that I'd take it with a grain of salt-- because of course we have our own biases as parents. But looking into the situation raised such a giant red flag that I was intent on switching, no matter what level our kid would end up at the next club.

PP. I cannot quote tonight. I meant to say, the lack of relationship to player ability to player standings after tryouts was my spouse's opinion and I believed that could be quite subjective.

Agree with this. Every season I am amazed at a few kids who get higher placements but really are not that good. Sometimes it’s obvious it has to do with their parent willing to coach but other times I do wonder if it’s a connection to a higher up. At the end of the day only the AA teams probably really matter to MYHA, so they are willing to give some well connected kids spots on the Upper A or lower A teams even if there are other kids who deserve to be there more.

We left myha after one season. I always thought the rink was owned by the city of Rockville, so I ignored that aspect, but it was very clear that, on both the boys and girls side, paying for the coaches group/private clinics influenced team selection and ice time. Parents assistant coaching (sometimes the teams will have 4 dad assistant coaches on the bench!) or sucking up to the head coaches also has a huge impact on team selection. If you pay attention, some of the kids have 1-1 regular midseason skill and strength training sessions with the head coach. Myha/rockville is a cesspool but I feel like the chickens are coming home to roost. Tm and pride are afterthoughts in the aaa world, no myha boys aa teams qualified for nationals this year. Only one girls team did outright and the other got there by playing the at large game to both districts and nationals. There are some good people in the organization, but I feel like the couple of attorneys on the board need to lay down the law.

I know MYHA is huge but I always found it odd that the try out clinics and coaching clinics are run separately by the coach, not the organization. And that the try out clinics and pre season clinics are unofficially mandatory. I think it’s the only local organization like that. At MedStar, TriCity, St James the camps/clinics are run by the organization. Medstar does offer private and small group coaching sessions, I’m not sure if those become “mandatory” as players progress.

That is an interesting tidbit you mention. If they are still on the board, it suggests that they have not noticed the corruption or bothered to do anything about it--as there has been no change to the status quo. The most charitable interpretation would be that these lawyer-directors have tried making reforms, but haven't been effective...and if that's the case they should not stay on the board.

The fact that you assumed that the city of Rockville owned the rink is IMO a result of a deliberate branding on the part of these folks. It's the home rink of a non-profit called the Montgomery Youth Hockey Association which for a long time suggested to me a county-led organization, etc. And "Rockville Ice Arena" lacks any corporate branding so the municipality name is front & center.

I don't know the details of the clinics but if I'm not mistaken, the MYHA pre-tryout clinics cost about $80/hour and you have to sign up for 6 sessions; Tri-City $30-$40/session a la carte (much less robust offering); Medstar's $43/session and requires signup for 8 sessions. Such a racket..but then again, parents are willing to pay for them and shopping around is not easy with the different places spread out. We even paid for a set of MyHA clinics at one point.

There were claims that their top 12U girls team did not select the best players at tryouts this year but instead favored the director's daughters' friends and those that were participating in the girl's director's paid training programs.

Five guys having sex with an extremely intoxicated 20 year old who agreed to have sex with one of them. FYI - intoxicated consent is not consent, it's rape.

Stick and shoot is $20 so $43 seems reasonable.

This disclosure does not appear in the most recent public tax filing, though. Would Weiss be doing the scheduling for free? Maybe it's in the $193k of "other" expenses in 2024, and someone else does it--I highly suspect it's a crony of his.

One reason this kind of thing matters is that the $3m raised by MYHA from players doesn't get taxed. A good chunk of the $3 then goes to the pockets of Weiss and Keegan, which is illegal as the article explains (in reference to the Team Maryland example). Whereas if you run a regular business, charging people $ to participate in your activity and/or use your facilities, you'd pay tax.

Interesting! One other thing about MYHA is that the main clinics are run by the Keegan NBN business, which seems like a conflict of interest since he is the director of MYHA and has influence over team selections. This is especially true for the younger ages, as he coaches the 10AA team that is the primary feeder to TM, so his clinics are packed by younger kids trying to get in his radar. Other rinks I’m familiar with have clinics that are run by the organization or a private group not associated with the team.

I honestly never realized there was so much shady business going on at MYHA. I googled it quickly, and it looks like the girls director also runs a training business. As you mentioned, that seems like a big conflict of interest for team selection.

I'll start by saying I have no direct knowledge and am just parroting back what was said on another thread by quite a few people about the MYHA girls program and director. There were claims that their top 12U girls team did not select the best players at tryouts this year but instead favored the director's daughters' friends and those that were participating in the girl's director's paid training programs.

Is this why more people seemed to move to tri-city for tryouts?

A lot of people are scattering everywhere. It's too much of of a weird pay-to-play and political game a MYHA.
