Did I miss a similar question of ethics last year when Schammel scored 3 points in third period in 13-1 February win over Waseca? Or the year before when Brandt scored the 11th goal late in third versus North St. Paul in 2nd to last reg season game? Why are you calling out the Aneys? Undoubtedly the...

Good points. Devil's advocate thought: Will this result in more aggressive/illegal play because of the smaller price of infractions? I suggest an amendment to the pilot: Leave the 1:30 for all the good reasons you state, but take away the right to ice the puck on the PK so it's harder to kill that 1...

What's it look like? Who is up? Who is down? And who is just reloading? Preseason top teams? I know EP lost a huge bubble of talent but they had some good talent on 12B also. Minnetonka has some very solid players back I think. The players that got it done for Edina have moved on but I suppose they ...

I'd be curious how you'd do tryouts for Selects? The Selects tourney was run the week after MN hockey state/district tourneys ended. Selects rosters are due long before then (programs/jerseys have to be done) Other suggestions? There is already limits on how many years for a coach (2 I think) and ch...

This is not an emotional topic for me. First, the girls are lucky they can choose. But I think this thread nails what I was trying to say...there are some good reasons, some not so good reasons, and it's a touchy subject for many. To be clear, I'm not against girls playing youth. I've talked and cou...

I clearly said that girl significantly contributing at the A level of a strong PW team is probably where she should be and it's great that she has the option to play there. Not sure how that reads as me resenting? Yes, top boys are better than top girls (once you get into PW major anyway) and boys p...

Mr. H: There's also several girls playing 12A in the state that could be playing on their assciation PWA teams if they were inclined. Congrats to them too! The original question was 'what do the girls think'. Girls generally play boys hockey for one of three reasons: (1) They are too good to play gi...

I had heard this before. I think it invites some discussion with respect to bringing contact into the womens game. I.e might it be better to have some form of body checking introduced at a younger age? The argument might be that the girls are not getting knocked around as much at a younger (and safe...

D8 playoff seeds: 1. Lakeville South (45pts) 2. Woodbury (41) 3. Rochester (40) 4. Lakeville North (38 ) 5. REV (34) 6. Cottage Grove (33) 7. Eagan (29) 8. Sibley (28 ) 9. Hastings (25) 10. Farmington (25) 11. IGH/SSP (20) 12. New Prague (17) Starting with number 10 Farmington, you have every team w...

D8 standings are clearing up I think. Lakeville North and Rochester tied in their game over the weekend, and these two would seem to be the odds on favorite to place #3 and #4. Lakeville South and Woodbury will battle for #1 and #2 and it looks like it will come down to the wire with Lakeville North...

Looks like Edina 9, EP 0 if what I have is correct. Whoa...

2(15)...That is fantastic OTE.

P4 - You're doing some great things with your team and thanks for the pep talk. But you're making quite a few assumptions. Your post is good because it has to be thrown out there now and then to remind us ALL who's game it is. But since it's directed toward me, I just want to be clear, I'm a very po...

It might sound good on paper to 'roll them' no matter what but it's more complex than that. I've rolled them for years at the 12A level and the teams I've coached have lost more than one championship because our best players were on the bench while our weaker players were on the ice against the othe...

I agree on the recruiting. You have a tough situation. here's a few thoughts: Find out what is driving the girls moving up. Are they being nudged? 10Us at 12U level is very tough. There is a huge physical difference. You could even challenge the moveup policy. If you have a girls coordinator who see...

Shakopee rode two girls to a state championship two years ago at 12UA. They didn't even play on a line together that much - each one throwing in 40 or so goals with very little support. So you still need to be wary of the teams with one or two exceptional players. And I think Rochester is probably a...

Anyone know of any girls 12UA tourneys weekend of January 30-Feb1 in Minnesota?

probably wrong forum - I'll repost on Youth hockey forum.

anyone know of any minnesota girls 12A tournaments the weekend of January 30-Feb 1 2009?

No Edina U10's? Not very bright on those coaches parts. Looks like Selects could've used them, based on scores on RinkWriter. Not sure why they get blackballed. Wheres blondegirlsdad? Did anyone ask the Edina U10s??? Maybe they were too busy making their video Lurker compelled to set record straigh...
