I'm curious as to why this viewpoint has any traction. Giles really has nothing to do with the youth program that I can see. He might come and watch a Bantam AA game once in a while, and he holds a summer clinic, but other than that he has little to no involvement in the youth program. His assistan...

This is the same Dad that played "kick the can" after squirt tryouts when he did not get his way. I am sure the team is much happier having the family removed. What a classless quote by Dad. Fully agree with Stats on how you could have responded, or better yet, not respond. Giles is a toug...

Wow. Big losses. Really thought Bellows would come back. They will not miss a beat and probably will be a better team, especially passing to more teammates. Don't kid yourself, there is no love loss here stats81 Spoken like a true JV parent...you are delusional. Bellows (like him or his family or n...

Word is Zuhlsdorf will not be returning to Edina. Any report on Bellows? Both Zuhlsdorf and Bellows are staying in the USHL. Wow. Big losses. Really thought Bellows would come back. They will not miss a beat and probably will be a better team, especially passing to more teammates. Don't kid yoursel...

I came on this site because I really didn't believe that adults would spend time blogging about Edina girls hockey. I left a couple of joke posts in early Dec. Then someone tells me that it's still going strong - so I came in the other day and left a few more jokes. This will be the last post I lea...

Coulda Shoulda Woulda My comments are directed towards Green Hockey Mom so please do not take offense. Work harder Skate Harder train harder like no other girls do this to prepare to bring down the Evil Empire :twisted: As far as the HS girls I am sure they played hard, especially playing one line. ...

Hey Peterpuck - your comments regarding the Edina U14 girls are atrocious. If I had to guess, you're another bitter mom who has a kid that lost to a team that practices more, works harder, and wins. You can bitch about attitude, money, snobbery, etc all you want. Hard work and skill win games. You ...

Should the goal have been disallowed? Should they be upset? Name another team that wouldn't. Nothing to see here. Pertaining to the U14A Championship game and the disallowed goal. I was there and these are the facts: Edina's player skated into the crease, screened the OMGHA goalie, the OMGHA goalie...

Good article that divulges some of the secrets to Edina's success at the youth level: http://www.usahockey.com/news_article/show/313589?referrer_id=752796 Nice article. Where are the comments how to skillfully shorten a bench as not to appear your are to win a championship? Every tight game this te...

peter is still pretending he hasn't read this.... i knew it! Nothing to say. Peter, just say Green is Gold is right! Very simple. Green Green Green, I am still here just very busy to read everyday. So you want me to go after Shakopee for cutting a girl? Will this make you feel better? How about thi...

Peter, peter, peter, so much anger and so little to show for it. I'm NOT sure why you are so bitter, but if you spent a little more time "developing" hockey talent you might have more to show for it and less to be angry about. What do you mean when you say "congrats on developing 2 o...

If every coach has 'done his job' you should have about 60 high school girls that you can simply roll all season. Where is Coach Ronnie? I can't wait to hear your response to this. Maybe it goes something like this Just Win Baby, this is the NFL, oops I mean GIRLS YOUTH HOCKEY I do congratulate Coa...

Peterthepuck, what a great observation! You actually realized that Edina had a few outstanding players. You are a hockey genius! Your statement that if such and such player was removed that Edina doesn't advance is BS. Would the Bulls of won 6 titles without Jordan? Would the Kings have won the Cup...

Development! Development! Development! Do you people who preach development really have any idea what you are talking about? Seriously? Development is about teaching kids the game from skating, stickhandling, puck protection, ice vision, individual battles, passing and teamwork, time and space, etc...

Which is more important, to win a championship at a youth level or at the High School level? If you have the talent and want to build that baseline, let the kids play at youth and your HS program will be better for it. I'm still waiting for that HS team to win a state championship while playing onl...

That is a very good insight on development. 80% of their goals were scored by a player who played the majority of all their tourny games and does not even live in Edina They go to school in Edina so she can play for this team and people complain about the privates? You are correct when you say how w...

I hope Shakopee beats this team today. Going up to glass tugging on your jersey to the WBL parents and shakopee girls watching after you score a lucky goal with a min left in the game. Completely classless! No surprise you see this character from this Edina team and their coaches. Another example wh...

From all the banter on this post it is a simple fix - 2 U12 balanced A teams. Both would do pretty well from what people are saying here

You knew someone was going to jump all over the Star&Trib article about games and how many games squirts are allowed to play.

People, It's squirt hockey, wowwwwww. 3/4's of all your little superstars will not even sniff the ice in HS, let alone the NHL. There is always the KHL

Did Edina U12 girls make it out of the Region? With all the girls who played with the boys during squirt? If they choose to go back since there is no checking, good for them. They most have developed so much better than all those girls who played U10 girls and not squirt boys. Especially since they ...

RedArmy dad, congrats on the win, I did see your girls play and they were a very skilled and great U12 team. The question I have for you? Why is your team so small? Is this not like a short bench, 12 skaters, really? Why not have more skaters on this team?
