The other 05 Machine goalie has started a game for Blake this season
While I agree it stinks, there’s nothing against a kid transferring at the beginning of 9th grade. What really sucks is there’s now up to 6 kids who’ve played for LS through bantams who may never play varsity hockey because the coach brought in these 6 new kids.thefatcat wrote: ↑Mon Dec 16, 2019 10:09 am With all of this hand wringing in regard to EP recruiting kids / transfers I wanted to get everyone's thoughts on Lakeville South.
You have 3 kids leave Farmington who are currently on the LS Bantam AA and 1 other kid who is a 9th grader who left Farmington for LS varsity. You also have a kid who was probably best player at B'ville transfer to LS and is also playing on LS BAA team.
That's 5 kids who just magically showed up on your doorstep.
I honestly don't care how they ended up there. I am simply pointing out to the pitchfork brigade that there are many teams / schools out there like EP when it comes to transfers.farmtown55 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2019 4:06 pm It’s clear you don’t know how some of those players ended up at LVS. The 4 Farmingtom players have played with LVS kids in the summer for years and decided on their own to transfer because Farmingtom was such a mess under coach Marsh. As for the Apple valley goalie, well he got put on the bantam C team after tryouts last year so he decided to leave. LVS coach had zero to do with any of them deciding to go there.

I wonder why the AV goalie was placed on Bantam C? It is surprising that a Machine player is played on Bantam C for an association that is clearly not a powerhouse. I wonder what the rest of the story is?farmtown55 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2019 4:06 pm It’s clear you don’t know how some of those players ended up at LVS.

Well...he's playing BAA this season for Lakeville South so that tells some of the story. Maybe he missed tryouts and was placed on C? Maybe it was punishment for something? Maybe it was strictly politics?kwjm wrote: ↑Thu Dec 19, 2019 4:08 pmI wonder why the AV goalie was placed on Bantam C?

Or maybe it was association policy if you move on a non school change year (6th grade or 9th grade) you get placed on lowest team in the association. This is common practice.thefatcat wrote: ↑Thu Dec 19, 2019 4:13 pmWell...he's playing BAA this season for Lakeville South so that tells some of the story. Maybe he missed tryouts and was placed on C?

The current world of youth hockey players playing fall, spring, summer, and AAA hockey with kids from outside their association can lead to some kids wanting to play HS hockey with kids all together at one school. What I will say is the LS kids all transferred at the beginning of 9th grade so they’re within the rules. Why they transferred really doesn’t matter.farmtown55 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 22, 2019 12:46 pmThere’s no hate.

Nope, just still "play where you live". If you want to open-enroll at George Bailey Academy for the academic opportunities, then so be it. Just play your Varsity sports where you live still. If you live there, why would that be an inconvenience? If the state did this, open enrollment for "academic opportunities" would dry up like the Aral Sea (and we'd get back to the MN model instead of the club hockey-like teams we're seeing).O-townClown wrote: ↑Tue Dec 24, 2019 1:05 pmSo if a kid open enrolls to another HS they can't play Varsity sports?
Minnesota was at the forefront of open enrollment so I don't see that even being legal.
