Re: Ridiculous

Fire the coach? This kids dad at his daughters U10 hockey game yelled expletives across the ice at the coaching staff and then after the game went up to a coach and threatened and berated him. When he was banned by the board from the rink he continued to come, and had no remorse for his actions eve...

Besse will do more to increase sales of Crazy OV sticks than Ovechkin. At least from our vantage point his stick looked like an OV pattern.

Agree that it is definitely hard to get excited about STA winning A title. Would be interesting if AD and Headmaster came out with their reasoning of why to stay at A level. Isn't their school about pursuing excellence in all endeavors? I guess this ends at hockey. Also, on an unrelated topic, somew...

Just to make sure everyone is clear.... youth hockey players have no choice where they play. Even if they attend private school, they are forced to merge into the local city youth program by Minnesota Hockey. The first choice they have to play with their friends is at the High School level. The tra...

Supposedly, STA coaches approached headmaster and AD about moving up to AA. They nixed the request. Also, watched a few Sibley Area bantam games this year. Big influx of STA kids into Sibley program; most of new players don't live in area. Was not aware of residency rule change that allows players t...

STA did apply to move up, they were going to play in the SEC next season. The Head Master at the school nixed it. Also heard that Headmaster (Tom Misch) and AD (Jack Zahr) refused coaches request to move up to AA. Among reasons cited were that they didn't want STA to be known first and foremost as ...

Bjugstad is good at selecting the correct stick for players with regards to lie, flex, etc. Regarding shooting and receiving passes, why wouldn't you be taught the correct technique at a young age? Every other sport teaches the correct way from the start. Of course at young ages, it is harder to hav...

Girls are much more realistic when it comes to college and sports.

Employers couldn't care less how many saves you made or goals you scored d...

The CDH coaches did not nominate her for AC. If you know any CDH players or parents, they will gladly enlighten you regarding the reason. Let's just say it wasn't very classy on the coaches part.

Last year several players took the ACT and missed a session and still made it to Lake Placid. Are the powers at be actually going to enforce a rule this year regarding missing a session? I personally think they could have scheduled sessions around the ACT.
