I'm sure they won't/can't move up because their best players are Blades players they pick up for this tournament so they would loose them and couldn't compete.WildFan wrote:why is the '98 Jr. Badger's in the open tourney again in '09? Didn't they win the '98 open in '08?

Okay, HockeyDad, here's my humble opinion on Terry's programs. He's worth every penny we pay to him because he is a very good hockey instructor, but, more importantly, he is a life coach. My son skates in Terry's breakfast club program and he works with Terry one-on-one in off-ice shooting sessions...

Re: numbers and what to do with them
So the solution for many is to drag the top programs down so they aren't as strong. There's no perfect answer. Places like Wayzata, Edina, and White Bear Lake should be applauded for supporting hockey. Obviously finances prohibit many other communities from having similar participation numbers. Eve...

Fortunately for them, they had another CHOICE! Going bar down, you miss the whole point and are always looking for trouble or writing angry things about a group of 10 year old boys. ??????

Xcel-You assume that the talent level in Edina is the same this year over last. Edina was much deeper at the squirt level and should have had a couple of A teams last year. This year it is not nearly as deep. You need to look at it year by year if you make the decision to go with 2 A's. Some years ...

Re: Regions
Roseau 12 - Crookston 3. If I was coaching that Crookston team I would simply say no to taking the 3 spot at regions. If I was the Eveleth coach I would be doing the same thing for VFW state. Just an opinion. Great point on local businesses helping out. Northwoods, I think you make a great point. D...

Joe Boy.

My two cents on AAA. If you are a great player there will be people willing to give you the break so you can play at the top level. If you are an average player there will be people willing to take your $ to let you play. If you are a below average player you can still play so called AAA but you ha...

Respect. . .for what. Yes, they have some good players, but why take a compliment of 15 skaters and only skate 8-10? We all know why. Why not let those kids you're never going to let see the ice in a game play B1 and go with 10 skaters? Otherwise, step up as a coach and work to improve everyone. Se...

Bantam A Rogers 3 Wayzata 3 Rogers did not lose anyone to HS. Nobody has given these boys a chance in any ranking. They will be a top 10 team. Could be mistaken but thought they had at least 1 trying out for HS that didn't play. They play 2 or 3 periods ? I left after 2 and they were leading 2-1 .....

I think the tryouts should be open. All of the reasons for closing them outside of parents yelling from the stands will occur whether parents are present or not.
