You're quite amusing. So misimformed but seemingly knowledgable... <br><br>My information comes from about 50 kids that I have run across that have been coached by both the former coach and Johnson. I would be willing to bet that if asked over 95% of the players who played for both would take Johnso...

The Babich's are playing DIII hockey in Concordia-Moorhead this year.<br><br>I am a coach in the cities and have family in Eveleth who did play for Homola. Skate sharpener was donated not paid for. Christmas tourney costs about $3000 at the most and they received donations from VFW and Hockey Moms f...

I saw their schedule for the upcoming season and it is a tough one. They have added 3-4 more AA games and also added some strong A games to the mix. If they play a "sisters of the poor" schedule than Virginia must too because they play the same teams. If anything Eveleth's schedule has got...

I am pretty sure that Coach Johnson will return for another year. Like I said before, he loves working with the kids that he has in his program so that is not a factor in any of this rumor stuff. He knows that he has some very solid young players that he can mold into his own players over the next f...

Hard to say. I am familiar with the team but probably not enough to make a prediction like that. This is what I know...from a 11-10-1 team in 2005-2005 they lost three players that will effect the skill level. Of their 10 losses, something like 9 were to teams ranked in the top 10 in the state. Thei...

It's nice to hear that the kids who left the program, for whatever reason, are going back to Eveleth. I think they like what they saw there and want to be a part of a positive program. It should be a fun year for the Golden Bears this year and years to come. <br><br>I think Boese will be a great con...

Nice to hear that someone likes what they see over in Eveleth. It looks good from where I stand now its just a matter of how hard the kids want to work. I hope they realize that if they work hard and improve everyday anything is possible for them. Good luck. And thank to IRC and redknight for actual...

Does anyone happen to know who was on the Select 16 roster for section 7 this year? <br><br>Thanks <p></p><i></i>

Looks like more of Eveleth than anyone else. <p></p><i></i>

Anyone know about the coaching position open at Cathedral? I saw it posted. <p></p><i></i>

Sorry slick I must agree with royal on this one. The item he is talking about is a matter of public record because it was discussed in an open meeting with the former coach. It may be sour grapes for all I know but he is telling the truth. <p></p><i></i>

I coach at the college level so I can't answer that. <br><br>In my opinion, parents are all right to a certain age and then they should move aside. In most of the successful programs i have seen, most of the coaches are not parents but instead are community members that are knowledgable in hockey. I...

I would agree with you on that. With the attrition issue, yes, most places are facing it but they still seem to maintain a certain talent level. EG seems to have an attrition level with their youth coaches. <br><br>I think that their peewees were something like a combined 4 win program. Should be in...

slickslide-<br>I would agree, they are not as good as when Homola was there in 98 and 99. But neither is their youth program which obviously feeds the high school program. In the hay days of the 90's there were many more kids to choose from in order to make the team. Most sophomores didn't even play...

I am not meaning as a rip but Central made a poor decision with that one. No experience whatsoever at the high school level and you put him into a head job? What were they thinking? <p></p><i></i>

I agree with Lee. It was to sell more tickets and also to attract more scouts to the game. This game hs become more about the people running and less about the kids playing in it. I know the Iron Range coaches will not nominate anymore players if the current set up is still there next year. They wil...

Is it true that Duluth Central will be looking? I have heard that the coach got run out? Anyone know if that is true? <p></p><i></i>

It's that time of year again. <br><br>Does anyone know which coaches will be moving to different programs or who will be looking for new coaches?<br><br>Notice I am not asking who <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>should</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> get new coaches or who should be replaced, so plea...

I watched the game last night and it was controlled by EG. They got beat because of soft goals let in by their goaltender. He made some very good saves but couldn't make the ruotine ones. <br><br>The earlier match-up between these teams was a fluke as was the EG Virginia game. Neither one of those t...

There is no doubt that SSM would dominate the high school league. Enough said. <p></p><i></i>

I agree with rusty completely. Those that want to leave...go for it. In my mind, if I was trying to get noticed I would rather be a big fish in a small pond versus a small fish in a big pond. Look at like B. Gordon for ex. everyone thought he was the secong coming of God last year but this year in j...

Who else thinks that joe is high on something. High school hockey is the best arena for displaying quality talent. Midget hockey is unacceptable for kids. Again we're talking about changing the make-up of the whole hockey system for 1 or 2 kids. <br><br>How would you explain the travel expenses? Do ...

Let's not forget that most kids will never play anything beyond high school...so let them have fun with their high school friends and stop discussing a way to make "our" kids better than "their" kids. To say to drop high school hockey in favor of midgets to get the players to pla...

Hey Moorhead boys...how did you guys do against the Rapids and Greenway JV teams this past weekend? Who did you think was better? Let me know. <p></p><i></i>
