Re: 2024 HP 17 & 16 National Camp Invites

Aside from the McCracken snub at 16's I thought Liam Schultz (Ashton's little brother) deserved to go, he looked good all wknd. I have to think McCracken gets an at-large bid. The good thing about Minnesota sending 14 to NTDP camp is that it opened doors for a lot of really good players who may have...

Re: 2024 HP 17 & 16 National Camp Invites

Hard to believe Casey was not also taken as a 17 goalie. He was #1 last weekend followed closely by Conway . They were neck and neck last season as well. I guess they could only take one , very hard choice Ironic they both rotated in goal in the regular season , and will likely both rotate again ne...

Re: NTDP Eval Camp

Well, I wasn't too far off...Cullen, Plante, Nelson (Dads / Bros group), Trottier, Berchild, Lutner, Fransisco and Carrithers make the NTDP. I was surprised that Wendt wasn't offered given his resume the last year and a half.

Re: NTDP Eval Camp

One glaring omission is Cole Bumgarner out of Rogers, he was not offered a spot at NTDP evaluation camp and subsequently tendered with the Fargo Force last weekend. The other glaring omission in my opinion is Zac Zimmerman...kid lead Moorhead HS in scoring as a 9th grader but he was ultimately passe...

Not sure why you are yelling? Yes, I understand that he hadn't had any action yet, he's the 3rd goalie sitting behind a D1 commit.

Re: 2023-24 Season Transfers

Wesside, there's a lot of speculation there. I have a hard time believing he was going to get a lot of starts going forward when he hadn't had any to this point. If he stopped all the pucks, all bets are off and he'd get all of them. That's the nature of higher levels of hockey like Junior and coll...

Re: What’s going on in Tonka?

We all know how many of the players on last year’s Tonka boys state championship team played youth hockey in Tonka (not a lot, especially among the high end players). Apparently this is also now the norm with the girls teams as well. I’m told two of the four seniors on the Tonka girls varsity team ...

Re: 2023-24 Season Transfers

Not really a transfer per se...but Kam Hendrikson will be back in net for Chanhassen this winter. Good for Chan, good for MN HS hockey...but I think it's going to stunt his development as a goalie. Kid was scheduled to get 4-5 games this month with Chicago Steel in USHL, not sure how playing against...

Right, but it's not like mid season or even months after school has started. This literally happens the week rosters were posted I believe... Seems a bit off to me. Yeah, a bit weird they only made it 3 weeks into school year. Lindsey probably did not see a path to Prep next season since he did not...

Way too many 9th & 10th graders for my liking. They can go play u16, etc. in the fall and not take spots from more deserving juniors or seniors.
