Has anybody else noticed that no matter what the event, camp, league, tournament, some body thinks the talent is "watered down". I certainly haven't seen that to be the case. What I see is less and less players seperating themselves because everyone is getting better. Has anyone noticed i...

most are going 'pro in something other than sports' . Haha great retort! From the Canadian perspective, IMO the reason some Canadians choose to play NCAA vs Major Juniors is because of their size. Every kid in Canada dreams of playing in the NHL and raising the Stanley Cup. In Minnesota every kid d...

He's skipping his senior year of high school, hence HE IS EARLY. Draft age and school age are not the same. I think what he is getting at is Bjugstad was born on July 17, 1992. This means he will be 18 this July, which if he was going to be a senior next year would make him very very old for his gr...

Pretty cool article on Nick Bjugstad.

Nice article on Mark Alt.

For those who have not seen them yet I thought I would share them.

Come on people....this is not high school it is college. These two are good, but they need to move to the juniors for a minimum of a year. Yes they are both very good, but Bjugstad is a junior who will graduate early, but he is immature. The best thing to help this Gophers team would be to send the...

Nice try !

Keep trying... better luck next time

Congrats to both. Hopefully the U will turn down the suck next year.

The top players for certain teams make more than 50 bucks a week... Do you really think Johnny T was making 50 dollars canadian a week playing for London in the OHL last year and now on the Islanders? Hell even in the junior A non major-junior leagues in Canada like the BCHL and AJHL and others play...

Just to add a little insight to the WHL draft process. If a minnesota born kid is going to play canadian juniors they need to play in the WHL. Where you play in Canadian juniors to start is based on where you are born. Also the reason why few to none players get drafted is because the chances of a ...

15 years old. It's called the Western Hockey League Bantam Draft.

Disagree 100% with he has to go to Michigan "if he is that good". His hockey career will not be made or broken as a result of this decision. His, future as a great person could be screwed up by going to Michigan. GB Maybe but the amount of time, coaching, consulting, and competition the N...

Does anyone have the lists for District 2 select 15's and/or section 4 select 16's

Hopefully that makes sense and thanks.

Watching Fink back in HS, I always thought he was a kid that needed to move on. He seemed to float a lot and I thought being forced to play an all around game in the USHL against better players would help him in the long run. Certainly we can debate things in hindsight... but I can't say I blame hi...

At Hill, we don't claim to have more Catholics, we claim to have better players, and more championships. :D :roll: just imagine if WBL and Roseville and the rest of that section could recruit like Hill..would be a much more even playing field If their programs were any good the players wouldn't lea...

I thought it was pretty funny how the 216 kids were chanting "No one likes you" towards Edina with most of the building feeling the same way, then mid chant Edina scores a goal. Kinda sad and deflating, but still funny.

There are all sorts of options when this occurs. If the player and the coaching staff put some thought and effort into situations like these, they can work out great. If one, or both put nothing into it, the kid that has been playing hockey for most of their life get sent home with little to no exp...

Did you the the set-up at Fenway. The rink was 50 yards from the fans.

Just like the Coliseum!

The reason that the kid doesn't get recognition is because he isn't as consistent as a kid like Shaughnessy. 9/17 of this kids games he didn't stop 90% of the shots he faced, Shaughnessy has only saved less than 90% in 3/16 games. Goals against is a different thing, but a goalie who is as good as y...

That's very impressive. What was the final score?

Why does USA keep playing mediocre high school teams? I'd like to see how they match up against a team like Tonka or Edina. I don't think this one will even be close, USA 6-1. Um... because the women's national team doesn't want to get overly embarrassed. Canada does the same thing and plays canadi...

...SINCE THIS WEBSITE ISNT PROTECTED BY THE U.S. CONSTITUTION it appears that we cannot use players names in threads to voice our opinions... so from now on would everyone use (team and and player # and if that is too specific maybe use player with # between {x & y} thus to not implicate them d...

This Team plays each game as the coach instructs them ( occasionally some players rise to the challenge) but when all is said an done they accept a loss and go on...this team like others in the past has accepted that they may only get a handful of wins in the season and their likely hood of being a...

So true, so true. I spent just about every practice year in and year out in youth hockey at one Ramsey County rink or another, and even played our home games for high school in one!

How about best program to not win a state quarterfinal game.

As far as MV being a contender this year it depends on what you think they are contending for. If its the state championship or even the schools first state berth since over 30 years, very unlikely. I would say however, that it would be great to see them top 3 in the SEC and even better to see them ...
