This conversation leads me even more to appreciate the coaches that respond to a very difficult conflict with "Thanks for letting me know, see you tomorrow, and good luck". I'm glad the adults in my kids lives have not made them choose between a football or soccer team and hockey tryouts,...

open all the way. Parents should be able to watch their minor children. Coaches and evaluators should be shown a taste of the parent behavior they are getting into. Edina has open tryouts. Kids wear their jerseys from the previous year with their name on the back. Very transparent. And the differenc...

Edina would seem to have a MUCH harder time putting out players that last at all in the NHL. :idea: Bo, you listed a link on page 3, printed on page 4, of the 227 MNs to play in NHL. 10 of 227 are listed as Edina. That's 4.4%. Edina population is 48k. MN population is 5.3M. That's .9%. About 1300 k...

Re: Edina hockey

the post regarding why Edina doesn't produce more high-end (D1 and pro) players is also very valid. I don't know the answer other than the fact that hockey is a mentally and physically tough game at the higher levels. Most people who make a living at it either have passion to burn (which may be dif...

I don't think this is accurate.
There was a girl 4-5 years ago. U12A first year, U12B the next.
Unlike Green is Gold, I won't claim it's the only occurrence in 30 years.

Doubt the class A thread will go to 5 pages next year. Today was a taste of the great moments of the single class days. Further separation of the Goliaths and Davids will mean fewer Cinderella moments.

Fantastic game by Hermantown. Congrats to the players.

He had roughly 92 points in his three seasons at White Bear. Brian Bonin had roughly 168 points in his three years for the Bears...

D6 squirt tournament games do not count toward the 35 game limit. DDs have the leeway to allow exceptions.
Lots of coaches are on the ice without chin straps done up on their non-HECC certified helmets. Don't limit your whistleblowing. Call the I-Team.

Hermantown shots have been corrected to 62 on the Hub.

What's the save record for a regulation length game? Shakopee goalie, per the Hub, had 75 saves vs Edina last night.

Sometimes the regular season counts for something. 1 and 2 seeds are gauranteed to move on to regions. Last night's winners are also guaranteed to move on (I believe D6 is sending 4 to regions this year). That makes for a very tough first game in districts.
