JSR. Have a look at some of the posts on this site and this latest one and make sure to read the comments at the bottom: http://www.diebytheblade.com/2014/6/6/5784434/2013-14-buffalo-sabres-report-cards-jamie-mcbain He has been a free agent since the beginning of this month. Recall these posts on an...

I have to say that I agree with the safe sport training. Yes another stream of videos but they do make a point and bring a common theme to those that are going to volunteer. JSR you are a pillar of your hockey community and that's a great thing but many volunteers and coaches aren't as thoughtful, g...

- Top players leaving - MH advocates and leaders kids leaving - 25 game season compared to 50-60 games against much better competition - Scouts taking the tournament with a grain of salt - D1 numbers still high but pulled back from last year. If it ain't broke don't fix it doesn't apply here. Market...

All IMO - Unfortunately, most coaches I have worked with or observed mismanage ice time for Mites-Pee Wees. They get the coaching job and project their outdated knowledge and experiences on the kids. Hockey has changed so much in the last 10-20 years. The technical skills component of practices need...

IMO cross ice and SAGs like the one JSR described plus about 30 more like it are far more beneficial to developing the skills that players need to be successful than full ice scrimmages. We've all heard that hockey is a game of 2 on 1s or, games are won and lost on the boards and in the battles. SA...

Let me get this straight. You've been You went from playing AAA to Lake Forest Academy?? That's like going from playing on a top AA MN team to Junior Gold. And then you decided you wanted to explore other hockey options in MN? Highshcool to highschool yes MN is way better. AAA to IL or MN highschool...

Really? This type of hit will always be part of the game? Thanks for proving my point about the mindless part that needs to be removed. You hopefully are not someone that plays or coaches the game because you have no concept of what this is all about. Scary! Get rid of body contact? Not at all. Get ...

http://bleacherreport.com/tb/d9T5z?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=nhl Both players at full speed heading into the boards, big bump/hit up high on the body 10 feet from the boards send the player horizontally head first into the boards. Sick to watch. Plain stupidit...

[quote="MrBoDangles"][quote="Napalm187"]Because he thinks his precious MN HS hockey is being harmed by these "ego-driven kids". If our HS hockey is so good, why don't you ever see a Patrick Kane, James Van Riemsdyk, Dustin Brown, or other high-end Americans move into Mn...

He is 15 and he actually is old enough and mature enough to understand the options and opportunities infront of him, even better than his parents. He is as much a part of any decision in his future as his parents. Why is it hard to accept that HS hockey is not the only path for players. It is one of...

[quote="mnpuckster"]Sorry, didnt realize it was Mr. Baer. It does suck for him that he didnt follow team rules. But because Pauly didnt give Alec the special treatment he has always gotten, Pauly is the bad guy? Entitlement generation I guess. Good luck with the W.[/quote] Funny thing is t...

[quote="mnpuckster"]Let all the "superstars" go have their AAA program. It will water down HS hockey, but at least it will be about a team, and not the ONE kid who thinks he is bigger than all of it. The State HS tournament is not, and has never been about the ONE kid. Its about ...

[quote="Napalm187"]He was in my opinion and in a lot of scouts and decision makers eyes as the best 97 in the state because of his combination of speed and hands that none of his classmates have. Although, only 5'9 150...he is a frosh and you could see him getting too 6' 180ish...which wou...

[quote="NextGoalWins"]Sure but remember he is still just a young prospect with promise - he, like most other young players are still in tryout phase - that's why he got a 2 year deal. The newer Faulk has the spot on the first power play. J has had a good run but is clearly the softest defe...

Sure but remember he is still just a young prospect with promise - he, like most other young players are still in tryout phase - that's why he got a 2 year deal. The newer Faulk has the spot on the first power play. J has had a good run but is clearly the softest defencemen on the team and has gotte...

Do what you want. I'm talking about Jamie. You play small against those guys and your team will be picking up the pieces. And that just ain't gonna fly.

[quote="Pinky"][quote="warmskin"]why didn't Edina Peewee AA play Shattuck before they took off to MI? Just for the record according to LetsPlayHockey there are 36 Minnesotans in the NHL. 1 - Edina, 2 - EP, 1 - Minnetonka, 2 - Plymouth(Wayzata). So if anybody thinks all the Edina ...

So: talented kids picked or came out, lots of ice time. That's a good start.
