HA! No nerve touched - just trying to stay on point with facts and not BS. Do a search on this forum for Lakeville Pride Rule. My understanding is that the P guy motioned on July 9, 2008 (check minutes from 7/9/08 and 9/10/08- they are on the web) to pass a rule - called the LAKEVILLE PRIDE RULE (fu...

Also heard that one of the seniors cut has a eight grade sister playing varsity! Is that acceptable? Can't have it both ways hock mom. OK - BS Special - Boys and girls hockey are completely different when talking about 8th and 9th graders playing Varsity. It is far more common for younger players i...

Interesting subject - and probably why many leave the Lakeville Association. I don't have a kid in the program. But - rumors are as follows based on what I've heard. 1. The P family has 3 boys and it's been their "dream" for them all the skate together on one team (someone said there's a f...

Who won for district 3 to go to regions? District 8? District 11?

Regarding the above post about not just giving naughty kids the ax - good point in that sports should help them develope. You're absolutely correct. Associations just need better coaches sometimes because not all coaches are capable of this and associations can't police it. Silent - maybe I have bee...

Minnesota Made is by far the better atmosphere. Kids leave smiling. Kids are nice to each other. Parents are nice to each other. No politics. Just the opportunity to get away from the holier than thou attitude of association parents that bash MM is worth it. If MM wasn't good and wasn't making an im...

So - dogeatdog - are you saying your B teams are better than your A teams?

Wow! Watched this thread for a while and asked around about this. Rumors abound! Lakeville Association has tons of issues within the ranks it sounds like. Late try outs and pissed off parents as a result. Apparently, the try outs were open though (first year) and people could watch and most liked th...

"Go postal on me?" Are you kidding? Calm down and get your panties unbunched. Still missing the point - not for D6 to decide. You're arguing if it is a good idea and that is up to parents - not associations and you failed to respond to the issue. Name calling again. Maybe the answer is for...

Just got a call from my radio guy who's monitoring this. Word on the street is that 3 Fire kids who thought they couldn't play and would have had to return to association hockey left Minnesota. 2 for Florida and one for some other state. This is akin to what D6 is doing. Anyone able to confirm this?

OMG! It is clear this topic sparks controversy. I agree with HD41 - stupid to get into a lawsuit over this. Waste of money and time and energy that we all could devote to kids' hockey. However, I blame the district - not MM. District 6 could've avoided a lawsuit by having a rule that players who mis...

You are all missing the point. We could've avoided this all by not having a rule. Why does District 6 care if the kids are doing something else? Judging from the comments - you all think this is about association hockey vs. MM. What an unfortunate circumstance. The point is Hewitt shouldn't even tri...

Well, it looks like a case was filed on September 9, 2010. Brad Hewitt is named personally, along with all district 6 hockey associations. Regardless of how it all washes out - the entire litigation will cost thousands. Who is paying for this? I certainly hope it isn't coming from the fees these ass...

If what you are saying is true, MM was also wrong. Two wrongs don't make a right. District 6 still needs rational justification for its rule. Still not seeing one legitimate reason.

Wow! Interesting responses. 1. As for legality - public high school kids play in sanctioned MN Hockey events. They skate for a public institution. Parenting is a constitutionally protected right. Interference with parenting decisions with the appropriate "state interest" is unconstitutiona...

Just curious to compare these - what are the dates for try outs for each school for Squirt, Pee Wee, Bantam, and High School? When does practice start for your community?

Need to demonstrate higher IQ first.

Thanks to all for the info. As for seek and destroy - I don't have a kid playing in it and am not looking for his name, knucklehead. I was looking for someone else's kid that I know is playing and wanted to see what the rosters were for the teams he is up against. I did find the NAHL website with th...

Thanks for all the responses. And yes, this is a serious inquiry. I have a very academic child who is good at hockey. Is he good enough to make the teams there - I guess that depends on who else is skating and I'm aware of the competition. That being said, I have heard from people who LOVE STA and f...

Well - word on the street from folks I've talked to have all agreed that STA students have an attitude and turn into jerks with an attitude of entitlement as adults. Maybe I'm talking to biased individuals - but I really wanted some feedback on the programs and how they impact the student as a hocke...

Thank you St. Paul. That is the kind of info I was looking for and appreciate the feedback!

Anyone know how to get the rosters for the teams playing in the NAHL tournament in Blaine Sept. 16?

Which school has better coaching and a better experience for the hockey player?

If your child had a choice of attending St. Thomas Academy or Hill Murray and playing hockey - which would you choose?

Yep - we can have our children rise to the top of a pile of mediocrity and be proud!
