Wouldn't surprise me to see Begley leave early and play for them. Pretty sure they pick goalies well over 6' for pro potential..not sure he fits the profile..he's certainly good enough..probably the reason the South Metro All Stars were able to get Edquist..they did invite one who's 5'9" this ...

While I can't speak for sports other than hockey, South has had a ton of talent come through their youth program that for whatever reason have chosen to play high school somewhere else.

Was Edquist a South kid or North growing up?

We both know most of the Gopher recruits come from MN and the best MN kids aren't prone to go WHL so I think it is safe to say their decisions aren't pressed much by Major Jrs. (especially compared to a Michigan or some east coast locales). So not the WHL, then probably other "big" school...

Frankly, I am not a fan of Tier 1 hockey. I think Minnesota has it right with the model they currently use. The reason other areas of the country need Tier 1 AAA hockey is because they don't have the amount and quality of local competition. They are forced to form these Tier 1 teams and travel all ...

It is un-American that Mn is not allowed to have a Tier 1 team. It is incredibly myopic and selfish not to allow kids that want the opportunity to play Tier 1 and test themselves against the best around North America. Does Mn produce some elite hockey players, D1, HS superstars and some guys that g...

Ranting like a lunatic won't get you very far when the foundation of your argument is tenuous. Where will these progressive teams play, at the municipal rinks? There is a huge barrier that you haven't addressed. I can just see the City Council meetings now. The Youth Hockey Association will go and ...

Being from Chicago now living in MN, I can say from direct knowledge that what BHF has failed to mention is that Tier I elite hockey there is only for those wishing to spend upwards of $10k per annum to play.

I like the idea of a AAA winter league. I feel we should be free to play wherever we want and find the best hockey that is appropriate for our child's interest and skill level. It really sucks to be in an association that sucks and has no real desire to not suck. I shouldn't need to sell my house a...

Most Minnesota hockey players and families haven’t got a clue that the quality of hockey played in Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, Boston, New York, and many other cities is far superior to the level of play in Minnesota.

Blackhawk, not sure what you're saying. Is it that private training is the key to getting better in MN? Work done outside association games and practices? I think the same principle applies elsewhere. I'm sure elite players from the other 49 states all do training outside their official team events...
