Re: Checking in bantams

MN Hockey offers no-checking recreational leagues. Before doing anything else with checking rules, I would like to see an independent study of the frequency of Checking from Behind, Head Contact and Misconduct penalities in Bantams prior to removing checking from peewees and after removing checking ...

If you're ever at the Elk River rink and want a hot dog, get a chocolate chip cookie.

I'm hearing the same. Rumor mill says that the Elks will be practically unbeatable in about 10 years! :wink:
Slow down a little. I heard three of the Elk Mite A's have already committed to Junior teams.

Re: Gentry Academy D Jake Martin commits to Miami of Ohio

Blueline, they have a Varsity. Strong players are in the school. A lot of speculation as to what they'll do next season, but I haven't heard anything conclusive. The team is VERY VERY good and will continue to win games no matter what level. With a record of 3-5 I don't know that I would say their ...

Re: Gentry Academy D Jake Martin commits to Miami of Ohio

The thing making Gentry so interesting is they have a school, they have a Varsity (MSHSL), and they have the players in the school. While they are playing a national Midget schedule this year, next...? Two different teams. If you look at the MSHSL roster and the 15U Tier 1 roster, different kids. M...

Re: Gentry Academy frosh D Jake Martin commits to Miami of Ohio

DOB 3/18/03 - Wouldn't he be a sophomore?

And not to be picky but seems like the Midget AAA board would be more appropriate, this is not a Minnesota High School Hockey team or player.

Re: 7AA 2018-2019

What do the Elks have this year? Some offensive punch up front with Jrs Michaelis and Humphrey. Sr Dman Foss coming back from Odessa was a big help, but D Zone play may still be the team weakness. With only one game in the books it's hard to say much, but a 7-6 win over Coon Rapids is not exactly a...

Re: Junior gold rosters

My brother played J Gold in the early 80's, I played in the late 80's. Was decent hockey back then. Things started going south in the 90's, kids gooning it up pretty bad and that's when they contemplated shutting it down. Thankfully they made a decision to try and clean it up and since the early 200...

It would be great if Foss came back, certainly not doubting (you) or your sources...and he isn’t playing in the USHL..so maybe he comes back...👍 I’ve got a reliable Elks Hockey source that has confirmed Foss’s return to Elk Hockey next week. Good for the Elks. It makes things a little more interest...

TG only had one player at 15 natty camp. The TG from last year left the program. They did add a senior transfer goalie. Thanks for the clarification.
