Re: HM

Disappointed to read Lechner's response. He would rather stay and benefit from his advantages then be in a conference with similiar programs and have to be forced to compete. From an alumni perspective, this is sad. Disagree. The CSC is a good fit competetively for HM for all sports except hockey. ...

Section 1 would be higher if you take the Shattuck players out. The talk is that the Shattuck players already have a spot on the final 54. You have to wonder how many spots are even available and what the process is? If the players are being evaluated why aren't they given some form of evaluation o...

Sounds right to me. I have heard of associations usually the bigger ones that once a player gets to the Bantam levels have been told if they are enrolled in a private high school they are unable to make the top teams within that assocation. If I was a high school coach I would want to develop the t...

To this day, that incident made a positive impact on the safety of our game in Minnesota. Parents, coaches, and officials from all over the state are extremely sensitive to dangerous body contact plays. As a whole, coaches at all levels are doing a great job of teaching proper body contact…thus cre...

Re: Chirping for coaches

NEVER Why not Herb Brooks did! Everyone wants to be like Herb. I don't believe Herb was ever a High School coach. If the opposing player is an adult, that changes the perspective. Chirping a high school student, or younger, is not appropriate. I understand "heat of the moment" but not a s...

Yes, our state uses out-of-state evaluators to send players from our affiliate to the District camp. I'm not sure why that automatically means favortism. In almost all cases, these evaluators have no clue who any of the kids are. The evaluators we use are NCAA coaches. D1 assistants, an occasional ...

I have noticed very many Sibley players throughout the previous thread. I have watched Sibley a few times this year and they are a bit overrated if you ask me. They have one or two good players. I noticed number 9 and 11. Besides those two, there were no other standouts, and there record is barely ...
