Checking

My question for everyone is; What do you think of the checking in the games you are seeing? The sophomores this year are the players who had checking their first year of PeeWee's and then could not check their second year. What I am seeing is a lot of these kids are afraid to take a check or don't k...

A couple Facts that I can throw into this conversation. I am not an owner, investor, employee, but I have coached there. 45 teams at Minnesota Made this year. I believe in 07-08' inaugural year they started with 8 teams. (Could be wrong on this number) About 16 kids per team. 720 athletes. Many diff...

Question for the refs out there!!!

What is the correct call? Happened in a game this weekend. Team A was killing a penalty. Team B was full strength. (4 on 5) A Delayed penalty is called on Team B, and Team A Scores. Wouldn't Team B have to still serve the penalty, even though Team A scored. If not, Why? Team A got the goal, and Team...

I Can't believe that you did not include A.P. from Lakeville South, 99' Machine as an invite let alone in your top 10. Honestly he would be my top pick. I always thought he was a late 99', even though LS got smart and moved him up to Bantams last year. No I am not his dad or from LS, just surprised...

I believe the Blades are actually the 04' Blades team and they play the Machine first. The Legacy may bring in a couple skaters and a goalie as I think they are playing with them in Duluth. Just a couple things I have heard so don't bash me if it isn't completely true. Not many elite teams at the 03...

Orange Coaches wanted to Play Elite not AAA, but it is what it is. Original signup put them in AAA, and they tried to change but was not allowed, due to 6 teams in Elite and 8 teams in AAA, so that is what they were told... I would rather compete at the highest level myself and see where we are at c...

A guy at the glass is yelling at the top of his lungs, "HAND PASS, HAND PASS", my wife leans over and yells to him, you can hand pass in your defensive zone. The guy looks at her, like what ever, while another guy leans back and says to him, "She's Right". Her next comment was cl...

Re: Why AAA Needs to Change

"Many of the teams at the Detroit tournament this past weekend at the 04 , 03 and 02 levels shouldn't have been there. " Hey SIFBB, last time I checked there was not an 04 level at this Tourney. Yes there was one 04 team in the 03 division, which was a fill in for the 03 Toronto team that ...

Hey 57, In your opinion, now if this B2 team had to play up to B1, how do you feel they would compete. Like someone else posted B1 in D6 is like A in other districts.

Well if Bloomington Public Schools sticks to their guns neither coach will have to worry about kids switching schools, unless they move to another house. I was just informed of the new rule of transferring to the other High School. As of 1/12/12 they no longer will allow kids to transfer to Jefferso...

Leaving Kennedy

Education, friends, and hockey, not necessarily in that order, but these are the major contributing factors for leaving Kennedy. It is really hard to say individually but that is what I have heard. I have a young mite so haven't looked into that yet.

Kennedy Hockey

Kennedy Hockey has a great bunch of parents and kids but a merger between the two sides would be better for both programs. Yes there were some Richfield Kids who did play on the PW A team at Kennedy this past year but it sounds like Richfield isn't interested in any Merger with Kennedy. Most outside...
