cathywilliams....I assume u have ties to one of the coaches/teams.. I respect you sticking up for them. However, I want to point out I said nothing negative about anyone. Moreover, I stated my opinion, which I'm entitled to, that the Edina squirt A program is not what it used to be. That's not an in...

Edina Squirt A - What's Up?

Edina bashers, please stay away. This is a question for the knowledgable....After watching one of the Edina Squirt A teams play in Fargo as well as other times this year + watching the other Squirt A team play, the question I have is, "what gives?" The skill level just isn't there. One of ...

Team MN handily beat Chicago 4-1 today to advance to the final 6. Similar to last year's team who also made the playoffs, this year's team can improve their seed from 3 to 2 by beating Toronto tmrw then winning their final pool play game against Team Pennsylvania. Good luck boys.

Why is '03 Machine Orange in AAA division in Winnipeg?

Typo or is that team really not playing in ELITE division. Seems odd. Scoop?

Game 2 Blades vs Machine

Off the AP wire......Blades won 8-2. Orange rarely had the puck and mustered only a few shots. It was a beat down. Blades outhit, out worked and out played the Orange. These teams should play more. Makes no sense that they don't.

Game 1 Machine/Blades Score

Star Trib is reporting a 4-0 win for Orange. Blades outshot Orange by a wide margin but Orange goaltending was much better than Blades. On site reporter says Orange was more physical and played with a greater sense of urgency and buried their chances. Game 2 of 2 game series is tomorrow night at da ...

Was disappointed at the overall quality at S&S. Despite easier schedules for the Made teams, they had little success. The exception is the behemoth that is the 2000s. There is a reason they are nationally recognized.

TexMex, consensus was probably the wrong word. I wasn't trying to over state the info. I will clarify. Spoke with parents from 04's, 03's and 02's as well as a coach from 04's and 02's. the theme was that it was a lot of money for pretty weak competition and the tourney wasn't very organized. Not a ...

JSR, I like your idea about classifying the levels differently than the way it is done now. Couple people have said Chicago was pretty good at the AAA and elite levels at most levels from a competition standpoint. Better than LY. Consensus is Detroit wasn't worth the money/time. Too many meaningless...

Why AAA Needs to Change

I am stating the obvious here but the spring/summer AAA scene needs fewer teams and the organizers of tournaments need to do a better job of screening teams who sign up to play, instead of just "cashing the check." Many of the teams at the Detroit tournament this past weekend at the 04, 03...

2002 Euro American team is as good or better than 2002 Orange. Euro played Machine very tough last year. Euro upgraded their roster a bit. Should be a fun season.

Edina has 2 Brick skaters but I think they were put on different teams. Not sure which one is on which team, though.

I called them and sent an email. No reply as of yet. I've heard others have asked the same questions so they are probably working on an answer.

Choice Silver Schedule

Hey all. Curious if anyone knows why majority of ice time this year is on weekends. LY they mixed in a lot of weekday ice. Is it because of super squirt league? Please comment.

I wasn't being a Richard. Just pointing out the team didn't put the puck in the net and the fact I'm sure there was probably a better forward out there than one of the kids who made the team. Kudos to the two kids who made all tourney team. That's a life long memory. MN can win this tourney with a l...

Brick Awards for Team MN

Looks like Team Minnesota could have used some more offense. They only scored 10 goals in 6 games but made it to the top 6 playoff round which is much better than last couple years. Couple of players picked up hardware. . #38 Hillman (out of state goalie from Kansas) was tournament MVP and first tea...
