stop it ... you are hurting the feelings of my poodle and i

[quote="O-townClown"][quote="EdinaRumors"]As opposed to what? An association without integrity? [/quote]

As opposed to an association with a tainted process. You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig

[quote="elliott70"]I found it, a district 6 rule.[/quote]

Not suprising. Some guys in District 6 think they *ARE* MN Hockey and can make rules for the rest of us

[quote="EdinaRumors"] I would spell it out for you, but it's much more fun watching you run around this forum acting like you know it all ... keep up the good work[/quote] I see my buddy Eliot is straightening you out in another thread ... we used to have fun with guys like you in high sch...

[quote="InTheKnow"]So you don't live in Edina, go to school in Edina or play in Edina, but you seem to have a lot of opinions on an association that you that you don't belong to.[/quote] I would spell it out for you, but it's much more fun watching you run around this forum acting like you...

[quote="InTheKnow"]Funny. I talked to the EHA president and he said that no pee wee aged player was waived out of the association. Do you want to retract you last post? You seem to be good with the editing.[/quote]

no waiver required, but thanks for your concern

[quote="Nobodyonya"] EdinaRumors.....What was the outcome of the tryouts for your Grandson? Was the judging fair in your mind? Just curious on how the process went[/quote] It worked out well. They decided to take advantage of the new rule on player registration, enrolled him in a private s...

I know a guy that once coached A travel in one of the largest associations. He could handle the complaints for a while, but eventually it wore on him and he said it just wasn't worth it. I knew a coach that used to scream profanities at his youth players when they lost. Parents complained. He could...

What we need is more grandparents that used to have a good perspective on the sport and the game but lose it when their focus moves from many players to one or two. :D This is just sad. Issues like ethics, transparency and respect for process are issues which affect ALL kids, not just one or two. T...

This is the cr(&&y part about coaching. You can't do anything w/out someone putting you under a microscope. I coached hockey in Minnesota for 30 years. . Nice, good to have a few greybeards with kids at 1st year peewee. It makes us grandparents fit in better. LOL Grandkids. I wish I had tha...

Nice try on the ad hominem arguments as well O-town, but you'll have to do better than that. == I don't have to do better than anything. I'm not driving for change and I'm not upset. Really? The bigger issue, and one that has been completely unspoken, is whether intense competition for 11 and 12 ye...

This is the cr(&&y part about coaching. You can't do anything w/out someone putting you under a microscope. Thats true glasses. I coached hockey in Minnesota for 30 years. Peewee, bantam, high school ... you name it. We were ALWAYS transparent in our process. I don't understand this new bre...

As a coach of the Edina Pee Wee A team for 9 of the past 10 years. I'm disgusted that you (Edina Rumors poster) would pass judgment on the integrity of our staff in the selection process. Don't be disgusted. Just be transparent. We've run the pre-tryout clinic for the past 5 years and a several of ...

The rumor was not only put to rest ... but confirmed. I heard the team already had its first practice last Thursday at Breamar. To keep under the radar its advertised as a Fall Pee Wee Pre -Tryout Skate but we all know thats just a front. Any idea who ran the skate? What adults were on the ice? Whic...

http://www.tbirdhockey.org/page.php?page_id=5683 Is this your tournament? The one that conflicts with tryouts? http://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.ngin.com/attachments/document/0006/6660/Peewee_Grading_And_Tryout_Sessions_rev9_3.pdf Or is this it? http://www.rmssa.com/ LOL. Well you tell me ... I am the...

The bigger issue, and one that has been completely unspoken, is whether intense competition for 11 and 12 year olds to make a team is healthy or not. I don't think there is any doubt that it is good for them. Intense competition can offer ways to gain insights about one's capacity to develop physic...

Thank You O-town. It's certainly no fun for a child to be left out. Hopefully, all of the children will have fun this year and beyond.

All the new kids coming in with the new participation rule. All hockey playing students at Our Lady of Grace, French Immersion, new public school students, others?, now register with Edina. Edina families "in the know" don't know who will be registering for their program this year. BINGO!...

EdinaRumors you need to get your facts right. I know a couple of the 2nd year parents and they told me that the coaches put on this clinic, not the parents. They have done this the last 5 or 6 years and no one has complained about it. There are 35 players invited, so I think they cover all of the p...

Which one of my facts were wrong? If you take all the returning pee wee A and B1 players, afew of the top B2 players and a few of the top squirt A players, don't you think that covers all the A candidates. I don't think this is an EHA sponsored clinic. How can you cover all the A candidates if pote...

Except Edina won't grant your waiver. They like good B1 teams, good B2 teams, Lots of kids filling up their C teams helping to defray their costs... Actually, this situation underlines the NEED in Minnesota for the new Participation Rule and Minnesota Hockey should be applauded for getting it right...

EdinaRumors you need to get your facts right. That's exactly what I am trying to accomplish. I know of more than a few players NOT invited who are more than capable of playing in the top half of the A team. Indeed, how can you "cover all of the possible A players" players when player regi...

Have you brought this up with the Edina Board or sent an email to the coach? hmmmmm, in addition to being left out of the exclusive unofficial "try-out" let's further disadvantage my grandson by having him blackballed by the coach / association. Sorry, the B team is bad enough for a peren...

PeeWees is a big change, bantams another. Edina has more little smurfs playing hockey than any Association I've ever seen. Several are very skilled. Some small players will continue to shine but there will also be new players appearing, when the hitting starts, that will replace some of their golde...

If the parents and coach are doing this outside of Edina hockey, than there is nothing you can do. Basically, it sounds as if a group of parents pooled their money together to purchase some ice and the coach is the one running it. If this was a "sanctioned" Edina Youth Hockey Association ...
