It's seems that way because they indeed have no interest in that.

Re: MN Lakers 14U to Nationals

Someone keep me honest but 3 years ago mn hockey defined the season starting Oct 1 ending after youth state tournaments. Per USA hockey guidelines you cannot be dual rostered so once oct 1 hit if you are playing association hockey you can’t do both. This gave tier 1 programs about 6 weeks of traini...

Re: MN Lakers 14U to Nationals

It is obvious mnhockey is desperately trying to squeeze u14 age kids into mn Fall tier 1 by moving the eligibility date from sept 30th to now sept 1. This is too bad because they are going out of their way to take opportunities away for more kids to get better. It seems hypocritical to the charter ...

Re: MN Lakers 14U to Nationals

Elliott, is this fall league something that has had good buy-in from Minnesota kids and parents? Do pretty much all the top kids participate or is it more hit or miss? More so thinking of the 14,15,16 ages Pretty much get the top Kids. Very debatable..,I’d say the Blue Ox (northern districts) get t...

Re: Defending My Honor (Braemar Scoreboard Operator)

It's incredibly rare that scoreboard operators get remotely close to the correct # of shots and in the end, who gives a hoot? The only people it matters to are the goalie and the parents on the team who can blame the goalie if their save % wasn't high enough, thereby providing an easy excuse for the...

Re: 2023 Section Seedings

Not slighted or nefarious, but disappointing for Centennial to (randomly) get the 8 seed as they had a decent argument for the 5 seed. Really doesn't matter though, the bottom 4 seeds don't stand much of a chance against any of the top 4 seeds. It's probably a bit of a coin flip between those two a...

Of course correlation does not imply causation, but at some point it probably becomes difficult for the selection committee/voters to completely ignore it.

Re: Should head-to-head results be only factor in section seeding?

The coaches. Yes, yes, I know they're not perfect, I know they come with biases and axes to grind. No system is ideal. Well, no practical system. At some point, you have to just drop the puck and play the game, and the winner is determined by whoever scores more goals. We can't have 11 camera angle...
