Amen bash brother Wow...what the puck is your problem hunting 247? Just because a team tries to step their game up a notch (or 2) they become your whipping boys for the weekend? FYI - they've beat the Icemen and a host of what I guess you would call "lesser teams" and won the Warrior Cup ...

Is there any significance to the fact that Blades/Icemen list names on rosters and Machine appears to not? Not sure that I'd be ok with full name listed with the team's schedule for security purposes. Do you have the same security concerns when you see your kids name listed in the tournament progra...

Here is the deal with AAA hockey - it is not about quality of players or teams but rather it is about playing by birth year. That is the only objective distinction that qualifies a team to play in AAA tournaments. It is not about limiting participation based upon athletic ability, location, if you a...

both 98 teams have great kids and great parents - i am sure they will want to beat the other team because they all are competitive but not to the point where they are looking to create atomicity between the friendly relationships.

Did the Easton teams get new jerseys this year? - the jerseys they had last year were hard to distinguish between their home and away as they both seemed dark.

Good point buttend but some of the young parents actually choose the MM teams over the Blades which I don't understand since Bernie doesn't tolerate other spring/summer/fall sports, not to mention I just don't agree with their philosophy of churning out little hockey machines versus real hockey pla...

If a person can make a good living from this, great. The rate for hourly ice time is very comparable to winter assoc.- The coaching and training just from tryouts seem lightyears ahead.

regarding the quote, that is pretty bad if that is the case

regarding wing and center being the same at this age...other than in the offensive zone the wing and center are not close to the same. but i should qualify my earlier post as i was writting as it relates to squirt A teams/players.

A hot button issue that relates to this topic is some people have strong feelings about teaching systems or not teaching systems at the squirt level.

Per the Edina Tournament website, the correct score of the Edina Green vs. Eden Prairie game was 6 to 4 with Edina Green winning...not 5 to 0 or 5 to 1 per the previous posts.

Mankato 10 vs. Lakeville North 5 is accurate.
