Eden Prairie 2006-08

EP had 6-7 girls from other communties on the last championship team during this time period.
They were more like a private school back then.

Tonka plays defense. Their "stars" play defense as well as offense. There's a reason they win when they have to. They have good size and effort-type kids. Who cares about the regular season? Private schools want to recruit the offensive stars. When you look at the BSM and Breck rosters, t...

As long as the system allows it to happen, it will. As soon as the process loop holes are closed, it won't. A bit of a simplistic view, but it's reality. There will always be loopholes. The truly motivated will find a way to exploit them. We can all name a number of examples of this. I'm not a fan ...

Can Sec 4AA still be considered toughest in the State? How does HM stack up talent wise this year versus Roseville, WB and Stillwater? Well...I think before long, it's completely plausible that CDH will become a stronger team consistently and battle the top dogs in the SEC. We will see. Might be tr...

Never was a chance to get one of the mentioned girls. They would only accept applications from people that had been head coaches. Jamie will do well. When the tallent leaves he leaves!

There are a lot of successful parent coaches at the high school level. IMO that should not be an issue, especially since the EP AD Mike Grant was also a parent coach.

Re: Stepping Down

What is the story with EP? I was told this afternoon, the Head Coach was fired after their 1st round playoff game. Any truth to this? All MGHCA coaches received an E-mail today from Tim Morris saying he is stepping down from coaching EP. http://www.mngirlshockeyhub.com/news_article/show/89370?refer...

High school hockey is less expensive as compared to traveling teams so I don't think money is a driving force in their behavior. It's frustration that they have lost power and control over what,where and when their kid plays. They probably don't have the direct access to the HS coach as they did th...

The reality is that this trend of coaching change over in girls hockey will happen every year until something changes with the parents being allowed to do whatever or say whatever they want, even if what they are saying is false or inaccurate.

Minnesota Girls

Is Minnesota State (Mankato) not recruiting girls from Minnesota? I don't see anything listed about them. No more Foreign born players at taxpayers expense. Mariucci told Bob Johnson to recruit Wisconsin kids for his program when he started out. He didnt and took the easy way. I really appreciate w...

I don't think you can put all U14's and 12's in the same boat mentally and physically. The best U12's can move right on to a top AA or A HS team. One season I had a below avg U12A team but had the best power play in the the District. We lost to the the eventual State champion twice by one goal due t...

Edina vs Jefferson
Eden Prairie website shows that Edina won the final by a score of 16-1. For real??
Actually, I thought it was 17 - 1.
