^ No need to get that sarcastic, but yeah Coon Rapids has been just plain bad for too long. They have far more hockey potential than Cooper ever will have. Hopefully the kids from that good Pee Wee A team a season ago will stay on, but I guess Aus is a great coach to play for as far as I understand...

Pauly was put into a tough position. He has to protect his team. What do you do when the other team is out to hurt your players? When the ref blows the whistle, it's too late.

One of the problems is that you have to declare so early. It would be nice to be able to set up some scrimmages to get a better feel for where your team would be able to play and then declare. I'm sure this would be a schedulers nightmare, but isn't it about the kids? Does MN Hockey allow B1 teams t...

The stress level of parents that have kids on the bubble is not just a city issue.

With all this talk about people fielding new A teams or associations not being able to produce enough players for three teams does this mean that there will be less then 16 B1 teams this year or do you think that there will still be two sections for B1?
