Agreed to each his own - What rumor are you referring to specifically that would make this a horrible hire? The unusually strong group is correct and that's what I meant by keys to the Cadillac for Bantams and Chan. It is easy to look good as a coach when you inherit good teams no doubt. The current...

I'd be interested in the "pool" of candidates that you know of - please share. There were kids looking to leave prior to Friedli being hired - if he can keep a couple great, i'm sure he is reaching out to the ones he wants to keep (some i'm sure doesn't) - The CCHA bantams would have no ev...

HF - New coach Zach Friedli - Former assistant coach and D coach at Chan HS and CCHA youth hockey coach.
Really solid hire for HF.

A few more MN kids not playing in MN - most played outside of MN last year as well. L. Broten - SF Power U18 C. Heil - USHL Stampede A. Miller - SF Power U18 N. Mach - Des Moines U18 R. Kronick - Des Moines U18 L. Portner - Windy City U16 O. Chartier - Windy City U16 B. Finnegan - SFP U18 R. Oster -...

Is there a Strength of schedule out there for AA and A that people are using when looking at the rankings? I was looking at different players % of offense with their team and strength of schedule would an interesting column too. i.e easier to get points on a good team playing an easy schedule vs. a...

What is a the actual "Date" a player can come back to their HS team with out sitting out any time?

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 th...

Does anyone know what / where Brendan Phelps is or what he is doing now?

Haven't seen any goalie transfers to Chaska - with the 2 early goalie departures - there is a wide open net there for someone to go after and get an opportunity to have their own net.

With the 2 - goalie early departures - Chaska has a big opportunity for starting goalie - like a full season as a starter, it will be interesting to see if a #2 somewhere wants a full time #1 net.

First lookover : Some notables , among many, listed on a roster today : -Searles -Willis -Dahms -Tuccitto -Scheetz -Cheslock -Gramer -Krenke Some notables , not listed -Kleber - Rinzel -Bruender - Gunderson -Brink -Nelson -Shaugabay - Hanson -Thoreson -Conway -Casey -Ranello -Ludtke -Briere I’m sur...

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...

It wasn't just the goalie parents that had issues with the coaching staff and a lot of raised eyebrows on them adding a player's father to the staff. With some top end players departing, it appears we will be 2nd fiddle to a very good Chan for the 1st time in years Yea - From the rumblings I heard ...

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 ...

Correct - basically no goalies currently at Chaska HS. No fault of the coaching staff either.

Confirmed both Chaska goalies are leaving

Hearing a shake up in Chaska HS - Both returning goalies moving on for their Sr. year. Wishart - NAHL Girard - headed out East for - U18 AAA No goalies left in the HS program have Varsity experience, it will be interesting to see if there is a solid Soph, Jr, or Sr goalie out there wanting to make t...

Hearing Dave Spehar - will be added to Matt Cooke's Chaska staff.

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 goal...

MN HP - Just saw the Sect 2/6 HP18 and HPSr. Team - Some interesting selections - This is a no tryout process and kids that have never made a Spring HP Team in a tryout format are now on the Teams. It's evident that if your HS program is involved you get kids on these teams. I wonder if it's like th...

Agree - add 15 / 20 lbs. to his frame and it will be interesting to see how he develops for the HS Team next season.

Looking at last years CC BAA roster and seeing where they're at now, 7 are at Chan (Buesgens, Christ, Jensen x2, Patka, Borene, and Willis), 3 are at Chaska (Sheetz, Bruender, Kleber), 1 is still playing BAA (Ty Smith), and 6 are somewhere else (Heil and Oster SF Power U16, Bauer GB Jr Gamblers, Sa...

Points are not everything but seems max Plante kinda deserves to be on that team. Nice player and not taking anything away from him - How does he deserve to be on the Team, he hasn't played any HS - its shinny hockey, very little contact if any and you put him in a win / win situation by loading up...

Agreed with what you said, I don’t think Max is ready to play at that level like Zam was as a sophomore. Definitely more deserving juniors or seniors, but having him on the team gets his dad (a UMD coach) in the building, allowing the EL to keep the claim they have scouts and college coaches in the...
