Hunting - Yes I did, See your problem is you are looking at the games as if they actually mean something where as being in a game and "outshooting" your opponent again means nothing. Players are graded individually and not on a team level. sorry but section 5 players fell short of the cut ...

what happened at SLP? The head coach stepped down after a group of parents/players complained to the school and made up lies about him, and yes, most of the players that whined were not regular players. The head coach has better things to do then deal with this crap going on right now in youth sports.

I understand the "spirit" behind Single A Hockey and do believe it helps communities build their youth with some excitement of a state run or deep into sections. But.. I believe Single A hockey should be just that, Single A hockey teams playing Single A teams..Only my solution would be sim...

Is this confirmed yet?

Did I see that correctly? Edina only has 2 players in the D league (1 Goalie & 1 Alternate)?. Begs the question of where did the Edina players decide to tryout/play for besides here?

with the exception that the line was not (Wait, Meyers, Hanson)

SWPrez Thanks for your input, I guess the intent of the rule VS how it can be viewed are up to each, making sure a kid who truly moves due to his family work situation VS hey I want to play AA hockey are not in the same boat, one is forced to move HS's the other was not, correct?. More curiosity tha...

SWPrez you seem to have good info regarding BSM, regarding the topic of transfers, how is BSM getting away with the HS Varsity players going there from another HS Varsity team with no penalty? looks like there has been Blake kids making the jump and a Totino kid all going Varsity to Varsity (maybe o...

Dying? just a quick pull from Wiki High school hockey players throughout Minnesota participate in a maximum of 25 contests, excluding the section tournaments and the Minnesota State Boys' High School Hockey Tournament. Teams currently play three 17-minute periods to comprise a game. A lengthened per...

Instead of looking at which is better, I look at it as a great time to be a young hockey player. Great options to play if your an early bloomer as well as a late bloomer, mix in Major Juniors for those who want. It's a great day to be a youth hockey player, of course they will have to put the work i...

reminds me of many years ago I was in the Lineman field (climbing poles), it was different Unions between the contracting side and the power company side, agreements had to be signed if you went through the contracting side that you could NOT work for the power company for X amount of years (they we...

with only one HS varsity team it will be hard to tell if this will work, mainly due to you won't see a lot of them play Varsity, so maybe you'll see a great JV program or more Jr. Gold A teams among the top?. I've always wondered how they keep so many of their 4th and 5th liners when they most likel...

depends on what "life lesson" is trying to be learned. Typically what i see right now in youth sports is the players are learning from an early age that if they are not as dedicated or committed they should still receive the same treatment as those who do, the other side of that is the pla...

Alc,

where do you see that info for 2014/2015 Season Conferences?

Who owns this League? and who will run this league?

is this a private league? or backed by USA/MN Hockey like the 15's/16's/17's?

Shinbone - missing the point, nobody has a crystal ball into the future, just use the NHL draft as an example the point is people have choices to follow any path they want, not just the ones that a coach decides is best for him. I don't think there is a promise land for any of the directions the kid...

I would rather see kids going from MN H.S. Hockey to the next level regardless if it's Ann Arbor, USHL, Major Juniors, NCAA.

I would rather NOT see kids bounce from school to school of which he must be OK with since he has kids that went to Blake last year, how did that happen? and why is that ok?

I think this situation and others like it need to be talked about. is the MN hockey system built to teach, prepare and promote kids for the next level? who's interest was in mind while being kicked off the team? because he drew attention from a level above? got asked to come visit the team and talk ...

For those that agree with him being kicked off the team due to what he might do next year (you know he didn't get kicked off for 1 miss), you now are agreeing with those associations who take care of their own puplic community players over those kids who are moving to greener pastures. Whats good fo...

according to MYhockeyrankings SSM is #1 for 18U Tier 1 http://myhockeyrankings.com/index.php So I don't think it's that SSM is over-rated, it's MN HS hockey must be under-rated. I did watch the game it begs one question from me, I wonder how many HS teams MN could send to the National Tier 1 Tourney...

Shinbone- Not sure what your angel is on the OMG/Mpls game... keep an eye out for an association that should be AA/A but opted to go A/B1? and lost? Mpls Storm - 8 PW teams with only 1 single A team OMG - 7 PW teams with 1 AA team and 1 A team I'm all for the up and comers as well, but keep it some ...

looked up the teams that were classified AA on the list from elliot and Mn Hock web page. Bantams -listed top 2 teams posted on their web and how many total bantam Teams from their web Forest Lake, A/B1 (4) Moundsview, A/B2 (3) Roseville, A/B1 (4) Stillwater, N/A Whitebear Lake, AA/B1 (7) OMG, AA/A ...

Just some stats on the topic of Tier 1 (SSM) VS MN HS in the Elite league correct me if I'm wrong on any of these stats, I'm Human.. 2012/2013 SSM is 5-0-1 vs Elite teams 4 of those games were within 3 goals 2011/2012 (SSM was the national Tier 1 Champs) SSM was 14-1-1 vs Elite Teams 9 of those game...

I spoke with John Perry (MNH VP of Maroon Districts) and he gave me the impression that each association was free to do whatever they felt best. There would be no mandates on association size, strength, etc Hmm, i wonder how far that Free to do whatever they feel best will be allowed? will they now ...

Harre, from the former East Germany, conducted an experimental longitudinal study, while Nagorni, from the former USSR, carried out a descriptive longitudinal survey regarding youth developmental programs. Their results yielded similar, significant findings. Over a period of 14 years, Harre sampled ...
