ibleedgreen. i'm a neutral observer (reader) on this thread...don't have a kid who plays unlike brokenstick and puckhead63 and a few others...but, your post smacks of being dangerously close to the reality of how things are done with regard to the elite league. sorry puckhead63...as much as you purp...

brokenschick06...i understood your logic through your thread, but, observer felt it to be somewhat canted. that's why he hates guys who drive soy burners (great on gas mileage) as well! go figure eh... <p></p><i></i>

10-4 hillfan...i'm not sure which ushl team c. berenguer will land with...but, if hummel and chris land on the same d line, i'll make a point to see them play! <p></p><i></i>

sioux...if i had a kid playing i'd want him to adhere to your training and development ethos as stated in your post!<br><br>classy retort to the honeymoon gambit... <p></p><i></i>

i thought hummel committed to the ushl...not the huskies? he should be able to step right in at st. cloud...awsome talent. <p></p><i></i>

hockeydad...all our blood, sweat and tears laying the track and spurs are now being replaced by bike trails for the future lance armstrongs of the world...and that is indeed a good thing! <p></p><i></i>

pucker63...i can't disagree with your view on 6aa. the red knights may be the wild card...they will have something to prove following the move from "a" to "aa". 6aa will be exiting start to finish.<br><br>regarding the netminder spot at ep, don't rule out sund. if he contends for...

bossman...you might be correct...we'll see. funny, i saw both miller and lucia on the bantam a christmas tourney a few years ago and very impressed with joey's play...hardly noticed tony out there. things have really changed eh!! <p></p><i></i>

birdman...lacombe and henricks survived a coup attempt during the spring and will continue to coach the ep a's program. from what i heard some idiot dad's we're upset at the lack playing time of their kids! shock! <br><br>you speculate that lacombe and henricks are after the ep hs spot...not a chanc...

mnorth...me thinks your info is accurate. joey's future is in football and mtka. is a powerhouse...leaving ep and mike grants program floundering. plus with tony gone joey, too, needs a change of venue. <p></p><i></i>

elliot...thanks for your (accurate) spin. i understand the two leagues are independent of one another, in fact, i would wager elite II will bite the bullet before elite I. with all the fall leagues in operation elite II may not be the best option for many skaters, particularly, as you indicate, if i...

gabe will shake off the bad karma and do fine. couple of observations. did playing in the elite II last year guarantee you a spot on elite I this year? if so, did you have to tryout to make a team or just get your walking papers from russo to a team lockerroom? surprised to see will mclain, duluth e...

shutout. mueller without a doubt will play in the nhl, but, his road there will have been circuitous. the breck stop-over was ludicrous and clearly hype...no way could he have graduated from that school given their standards of academic excellence. he should have stuck it out as a baby blue...then o...

er...coolman is either a young cat or from out of state...thanks for the clarification. <p></p><i></i>

packer, colemans comments are abysmal...and i would not consider defending this knucklehead. just thought that before we string him up by his skate-laces it should be brought out that he's a hockey guy...to what extent i don't pretend to know. my last point, being a hockey guy, does not preclude him...

goldy, garrison, the prairie home man, should have kicked coleman's ass when he had the chance...and not just on paper! coleman did not have a hidden agenda to go after aha because they won state...he is in fact an avid hockey dad and plays on a mens league in the metro. <p></p><i></i>

er...sorry. my oversight there. the baby blues will be good next season...no doubt. arguably they peaked at the right time when they beat ep. now, can you do something about that dang traffic delay through elk river when i head north on 169? <p></p><i></i>

hillfan why will jefferson prevail in 6aa? sure they handled ep in the section championship without a huge effort...but they will lose some top players to graduation. ep, with low expectations and no superstars, may surprise all the naysayers. puckhead63...what are your thoughts on 6aa? <p></p><i></i>

rl, a good case study is chris berenguer from eden prairie. the only exception to his situation is that he opted to stay through his senior year at ep...and had an average year at that. he played juniors in texas, attaining some excellent stats, making an all-star team and now is looking at a tryout...

massman...first, rename the tourney to the bean cup. the mn team is an eclectic group to say the least...hermantown to shattuck! hey, more ice...why not do it. good luck to our representative team from gopherville. <p></p><i></i>

884...thanks. should be some good action. <p></p><i></i>

the teams appear to be set. where and when can we watch a few games? anyone know the poop on that? <p></p><i></i>

professional courtesy...no problem with franks kids. hey, it's don's program. good luck to them. <p></p><i></i>

hey puck63. have to agree with your call on chaska being in the mix next year. their excellent coaching staff has been "priming the pump" too long now. something has to erupt...the senior class may be it. although the crosstown (crossborder) rival between chaska and ep is not as intense as...

iceburg88. how did the 2 colorado kids land on team #9? The model camp must be open to anyone...didn't know that. <p></p><i></i>
