Hearing The Family just added a last minute addition to the mix - out of state goalie transfer just landed. Played Northstar 18U last year and most recently 18U Power.

So, with Bumgarner playing for Rogers now next season, he will be playing for a third high school in three years? How in the heck is this possible? He played for Shakopee as an 8th grader, BSM as a 9th grader, and now will play for Rogers next year as a sophomore? Please explain how this doesn’t vi...

Mound has filled their vacancy:

How is Sioux Falls doing at nationals? That's why we play the game...a lot of kids on the 14, 15 and 16 teams developed more than they ever would have playing JV or 3-4th line Varsity. It's all about choice and I'm certain the majority of the kids feel they made the right choice when it comes to de...

Elliott, you seem to be the resident expert on the topic, is this how MN handles their district tournament for nationals? Yes It was a lengthy discussion in committee and at the BOD meeting. Bottom line was the problems with the ‘for profit’ (in a general sense) organizations and their not having a...

Pretty much get the top Kids. Very debatable..,I’d say the Blue Ox (northern districts) get the top kids. It’s pretty diluted in the southern districts. MN hockey needs to lighten up and embrace the competition. HS and bantam coach recommendation requirement is ripe of politics. There is no such no...

Elliott, is this fall league something that has had good buy-in from Minnesota kids and parents? Do pretty much all the top kids participate or is it more hit or miss? More so thinking of the 14,15,16 ages Pretty much get the top Kids. Very debatable..,I’d say the Blue Ox (northern districts) get t...

Could be the surprise score of the night if not the week.

As they're used to saying in Mound..."ya, but they were missing a couple guys". Nonetheless....a great W after a solid win vs Two Rivers.

Would be interesting to see a comprehensive list of players from the top teams lost to Juniors and the NTDP. Slapshot, here is what I have EARLY DEPARTURES FROM HIGH SCHOOL TO PLAY IN USHL, NAHL, WHL Cam Briere 12 F Still Tri City USHL Harper Bentz 12 F Moorhead Fargo USHL Jimmy Clark 12 F Edina Gr...

Patrick Scherven named HC at Mound
Mark Hetland named HC at Northern Edge

That should fill all the openings that were left

Unless something has changed, 99% sure Mike Curti is Mound's new coach. Sherven is an assistant.

Looking at myhockeyrankings - it looks like their first weekend of games were in the Blades Showcase and they played the MN Blades once and lost 4-1, assuming with open net goal so 3-1 - not sure that's getting destroyed. They have beat Blue Army twice and Team MN (old blizzard group) and lost to t...

We are hearing that Chaska sophomore star Sam Spehar will be joining Sioux Falls Power U16s this week for the season . Strange move here. Didn’t Chaska just hire his dad as an assistant coach? Sioux Falls? Why such a low end program? :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: not strange at all..for being ...

Chaska soph Dman Logan Broten will spend the season at Sioux Falls Power U16. Technically not an “early departure” from high school varsity since he played bantams last year (ie like MH Sam Laurila ) . He would have been top 4 D for Chaska this season . where did you see/hear this? don't see him on...

Kind of a late addition...hearing Mound-Westonka is looking for a new coach.

Is the Chaska dad the one who had a Bantam AA goalie last year and decided to move to juniors in Iowa to get more games, or are we talking about another kid? I do not have a goalie, but I do understand the need to get more games -- WIth the HS league at 25, and odds are good the top goalie will get...

I can't speak for SSM but I know Culver Military Academy offers various scholarships. St. Cloud's Nolan Walker had a 4 year full scholarship through a Western States Scholarship they offer. It's a competitive application process and they'r not just looking at sports...so they say.

I recall the other goalie who played on their super bantam team then played with the Gamblers Jrs , and is now enrolled at Minnetonka HS, is that correct ? No fault of the coaching staff either. If you are actually involved in this program, which I’m sure you are, you would know this is absolutely ...

Well...that's not what I was praying for (and hearing on the Series of Tubes!) but thanks for the update. I'm sure it's a good hire and totally agree he's moving into a nice spot.

Hearing Orono's position will be announced tomorrow.

My only thought on the date continuing to be pushed up - is they are trying to bolster the fall Tier 1 to better represent at the national tournament in the Spring that they go to - which has been a joke for several years. The $100 money grab is real for sure - There are 60 - 06' skaters and 17 goa...

Based on YHH state trny season end podcast , following AA kids are questionable to unlikely for high school next year, apologize if any misinterpretation differences .

Metro West actually does a pretty good job with JV rosters... 70% of the schools have JV roster. Best I've seen for a conference.

Where do you draw the line on who can and can't play in a JV State Tournament? Number of varsity games? Grade of the player? I mean, if you have no rules in place and you have a stud 10th grader that has played varsity all year, his varsity season is done, is he eligible for the JV tournament? Is a...

Kudos to you....it's a noble cause but unfortunately MSHSL and all the schools pay no attention to JV. It's sad really and one of the reasons why more and more kids are pursuing opportunities outside MN hockey.
