if marshall can score early and play d they may keep it close. if not litch by 4 or 5

thanks, i didnt find them on hockey hub

is elite d playing this year

this has no bearing on the discussion but after reading some of the posts, it might somehow fit. Fall 2008 Elite II tryouts and practice for the south team were in Kasson outside of Rochester. People came from all over southern minnesota: Redwing, Farabault, Mankato, Owatona, New Ulm, Marshal, Redwo...

also one of the stronger schools academically

do the players tryout in their home area or are they asked to tryout in a foreign area. or do they not tryout at all.
a third or the players on the south team are from somewhere else

that seems like a lot

Lakeville North & South, and Rosemount have players on more than one team.
hows that happen?

its minnesota hockey theres plenty of politics. might be a different kind of politics though

repeat a grade or start late end result is the same.

more objective, honest and above board than anything else in Minnesota hockey

if your going to allow "Guido" expect other similar remarks.
there is something of an elitist tone to this thread that is out or proportion to the final score. is Minnesota hockey suffering from low self esteem

I'm sorry if the use of the word "bulk" threw you. In this case it means (the main or greater part)

Goalie dads doing stats!!!

Our son played with Wagoner a year or two ago and he is a good player and a pretty nice kid. The rules were there before that's true but should they be? We're still America home of the brave and many think we should be able to go after other options and if they dont work out turn around and go home....

if you want to use real numbers which pertain to your own circumstance, call your high school and ask them. they can also give you a print out with the birth date and grade point avg of each grade. a student here doing an article for the school newspaper did three three years ago. 25% delayed kinder...

we have a high school senior that made it to the adv summer fest as a 15, and the spring fest for 16&17 year olds. he has a january birthday which was an advantage. it was also an advantage that he was always the youngest kid on his assoc. team competing against players that were always older. n...

i've read through "the Minnesota School Readiness Study". We've lived in the same rural community in minnesota for a long time and it may be that our community is out of step with the rest of the state. But here most with a summer birthday are held back. (25 % of the high school could be i...

couple of reasons might be, hockeys a very fast contact sport. high schools dont have c or frosh squad.

as my mother use to say "just because other people are doing it doesnt make it right"

i haven't heard of any real problems with coaches in D4 but apparently someone has. district 4 is a very small district. this makes it an easy job for a few activist parents/individuals to make changes that might not fly in a bigger district with more of a hockey pedigree. the Select 15 process may ...

if you held your child back, he has an advantage over his classmates in every area. his social skills, speech, vocab, math skills, size and coordination will all be more advanced at 6 then at 5. All of us were more advanced at 6 than 5. These advantages diminish over time. And by the time high schoo...

could some people want to protect their son or daughter that dont want to take advantage of the extra practice/games?

any decision should be made based on input from parents representing kids born in all months. in our association we occasionally have parents ask to move heir son up to play at the next level. after some discussion they sometimes do move up. only one time in the last 15 years has anyone asked to pla...

Puckstopper81 "Minnesota Nice" is a phrase people use to describe Minnesotans style. It doesn't really mean that Minnesotans are nicer than anyone else. I've been rude and insensitive since birth and have fit right in. We have had trouble adjusting to the politics. Its quiet and often behi...

Puckstopper81. Your just getting a taste of assoc/high school hockey in minnesota. We moved here around 95 we have a son playing goal in high school. theres a lot of truth in the posts in this thread but it can get kind of confusing. age requirements are different in minnesota you've probably got th...
