As an example: I would say in Edina versus Duluth East at the State Tourney, Edina would have the "home advantage." :roll: So, according to your logic, it's okay for metro teams to have home ice advantage in the state tourney, but it's not okay for an outstate team to have an advantage in the 7AA p...

Would you consider it home ice advantage for Elk River if the 7AA final was played at an arena in Otsego? Yes I would. I wouldn't. Home ice advantage is playing at the arena you normally play your home games at. Home advantage contitutes more than a picture of your mascot on the wall. Now pay atten...

Hey Puck ... Detroit ain't makin' the playoffs according to NHL13 on my xbox.

And Datsyuk retires after this season.

ZING!

Perfectly stated jancze5. And slyer yes, Rapids lost a bad game in the quarters, but who has more state titles between Rapids and Elk River? Who has more recently been to state? Irregardless of your pathetic whining, the 7AA semis and final are remaining at Amsoil Arena for the foreseeable future. ...

Team America, EFF YEAH!

I can't tell you how happy I am that summer hockey is over so we don't have to hear about that nonsense anymore! Bring on association hockey! Couldn't agree more, it's always a breath of fresh air to see homegrown players committed to their community and the kids they have grown up with working har...

We all know how well that ended last time.

Can't be any worse than the Machine / Blade bobo's.

I abhor that sock style ... damn kids these days. Back when I played we just taped a piece of bark on our shins!!

Anyways, if people can make money off the great sport of hockey ... GOOD FOR THEM. I'm jealous.

*nvm -.-

Will be based inside (yes, inside) of Eagan's rink and play in Section 4A of the Minnesota State High School League. Thoughts? From their website: Northern Educate Hockey Academy employs a hybrid model where licensed teachers and tutors in our classrooms at the rink guide students through a public ...

huh ... uh, a spot just opened up on my kid's team! PM for details, be sure to include a photo.

The point system is odd: 6 points for a win 3 points for a tie 2 points for winning a period (total of 6 points) 1 point for a tied period 1 point for fewest penalties 1 point for a shut-out (I think that's it) You gotta just win your games, the 6 points is giant. I'm pretty sure they want to avoid...

delayed off-sides all the way.

Going from summer tag-up rules to association automatic off-sides is frustrating for the kids, coaches, and MOST importantly ... me.

From perusing the content of the board lately, I've drawn the following conclusions: 1. the Elite League doesn't know what it's doing 2. private schools are player-stealing hockey factories 3. large public schools are player-stealing hockey factories 4. small public schools aren't worth paying atte...

The only province that they have no checking in pee wees in Canada is Quebec. Do you think kids that were not allowed to tackle in Wayzata in 6-8 grades would be behind kids in EP that were allowed to tackle in football by the time they got to HS? Why don't we safeguard every sport and have no tack...

aw, that article is so cute!

agree, the kid went a couple times and loved each time (except the first!). They even have a parent/skater week that we did once and was fantastic.

Machine Vs Blades

Bjugstad's back!

When is the last time anything worked out in Loserville USA? Garnett? Moss? Favre? Mauer? Morneau? :( I'd love to see Parise and Suter change our fly-over state... tons of young talent coming, best (and most hockey smart!) fans south of Toronto. It would be beautiful, but most likely a bit out-of-r...

Don't tell them that. Besides, i still believe Florida is north of dixie. It just feels that way.

ooooooooo ... the mascot could be a viking riding a dragon!!

That borders on mythical!!!

Kind of like a liger, bred for it's magical powers.
