I heard Matt Johnson from stillwater may skip his senior year as captain and play for waterloo

I definetly dont deny the majority of kids that made it were well deserving of being there. My problem is that why would you hold back a player because he already has alot of exposure from the develpoment program. There are two questions asked by d-1 schools, how many points did you have in your reg...

I do not want to name the kids, its not fair to take that away from them. They know who they are. You know when someone is a more complete player than you are, Matt has skated with them for years. There just happens to be four "Hill" kids that made it and that seems to be because they won ...

I dont want to sound like the typical whiner, but I am wondering how a player can make it to the final 200 for the past three years running, be in constant held in high regards by ushl but not make the final 54. I am speaking of Matt Johnson from stillwater. There are a handfull of kids that I know ...

wow you are too funny....i possed this question to you before wayupyoura##, and you are???? did phil steal something from you, in all of these threads you have not made one point, all you have done is piss and moan....first hes a horribble coach but then they beat the confrence leader so whine about...

show me one coach on any level that does not question calls, especially when they are as one sided as there where.

no worries captain, its mainly people who have no clue about the stillwater team or are kids who didnt make the team....

well according to previous threads on here, stillwater is in shambles because they lost to moundview so now with white bear loosing to stillwater they must be calling for the bears choaches head.....I was as the game, the ponies played hard, they were short handed quite often but they hung in there ...

Also pnnyputz, that is not even close to what happened, yes they did appoint a jr captain, (well deserving), but hamilton did not even want arron on the team period, none of the coaches did excpet phil and that was because he felt sorry for him, he was a third line player for most of last year. It g...

hey ponyputz, you have to be forstners brother.....wow only you two clowns could come up with that story....it sure sounds like someone is a little bitter, its not the coaches fault you cant play behond high school......

Wayoutwest..... what part of loosing 5 or 6 A bantam players every year is confusing you. if you lose 35% of your talent every year how do you think you can compete. Stillwaters first line consist of a first line, a third line and a j.v. player from last year. That right will tell you the lack of ex...

The youth numbers are outstanding, its keeping them here is the trick. Stillwater lost 5 or 6 kids from each of the last two years A bantam teams and two since the season started this year. Its not an excuse but it makes a team gel better just by having played with one another before. I have a b squ...

It just seems too easy to blame the coach rather than except the fact there isnt the talent to support a 500 team. They play all very tough non confrence games and for the most part play at the best of there ability. Stillwater has maybe one D1 prospect, other than that I dont think they have any ki...

for one Housley could have any number of coaching jobs in the country, the us developement would kill to have him coach.......yep you idiots are right, hes foregoing a million some dollar contract just to see is kid play...............where are you people from.....you sound like a forstner

why is that insane, maybe someday when you grow up to be a big boy and get off of mommies nipple you will see what it means to have to make your own opinion.......

ha ha, that was solid. No, I'm not on the team, I am however pretty close to some of the players and I also have kids in the youth program.

and alsecord you are????? ummmm yeh thats what I thought, another wanna be, typical arm chair quaterback, maybe you should run for office and solve the world issues, you seem to know evrything..........have you even met anyone from this team, ever talked coaching strategy with housley??? no I didnt ...

but like you said, it is only an opinion.

The problem being is that it was a FORGONE CONCLUSION he was leaving, it was no secret and with that being said, its not fair for him to take another kids spot who wants to play here. I did have mixed feelings as to how this all went down but it really did turn into a he said she said.

Last thing on previous post, I do know the facts of what took place and most of what had come out in previous blogs where speculation and gossip..

The fact what happened was that his son wanted to try out for j.v and the bantam choach said he would not be able to return to bantams if he didnt make the team. Phil wants to have a smooth running program from top to bottom but that bantam coach wanted to do things his own way. as far as letting th...

The problem with the youth player wearing the "c" was because he was on the A bantam team and it was already a forgone conclusion he was leaving the next year to hill. That isnt sending a good message for those kids who are staying, its telling them that sure we will develope you so you ca...

I find it annoying how outside people comment on how the coach relates to the players...George Thole was a complete PLEASE BAN ME but yet managed to win title after title. Bottom line, they dont have enough skilled players. They are still feeling the affects from players lost to hill, not just from ...
