Spirited discussion, mostly good-natured, with just a bit of an edge here and there. That's what makes this board an interesting read. Disclosure: I was pulling for North, just to see some shake-up in the landscape. North broke down (to put it mildly), and can learn from this experience. Regarding t...

My 18-year-old son has gotten some mild interest from a team in the BCHL, nothing very concrete. He has gotten some moderate interest from 3 NAHL teams, no tenders/wasn't drafted, but was invited to their final camps.. So, time will tell if we earn a roster-spot invite from anyone... The one and onl...

Toronto College Cup event - opinions requested

Does anyone have an opinion as to the value of playing on a team in the Toronto College Cup event? This year it is May 3-5. The total costs involved per family runs close to $1900, if travel costs are $800 - more or less if not. This is quite a chunk of $ to spend for three days of attending what is...

Earlier in this thread I had asked if anyone knew how the MSHSL section assignment process worked and what rationale they used in their section selections. I'd like to thank those who contributed insights, and to thank everyone for not using this thread as another excuse to try to insult and belittl...

I would like to ask the favor of someone with accurate knowledge of the MSHSL process to please shed some light on this question: How is the composition of the sectional teams determined? How often does the MSHSL implement section re-assignments? What, exactly, is the process? Is there a vote taken,...

Personally, I've never [it's the money, stupid] understood why the MSHSL hasn't [it's the money, stupid] treated all of these private schools' athletics programs just as [it's the money, stupid] they treat the Shattuck school's athletic [are you not understanding? it's the money, stupid] programs.

One tip about the Section final games at Mariucci - we go every year - Do your best to arrive at least 45 minutes before the first game if the weather is foul. The lines for the ticket windows go well outside the building around 15 - 30 minutes prior to the start of the first game. More than once, w...

I have no affiliation with this company whatsoever, but the BASE sticks are by far the most durable that we have come across. I have three sons who have all played since they were first-graders, the youngest of whom is now a senior in high school. We have tried every stick under the sun, none lastin...

The new Elite uniforms can be easy to confuse if you're not looking closely. Just to clarify, the game being discussed was between Metro NE (blue colorings) and Metro SE (yellow). Not that it changes anything at all about the discussion, but both the article author and one of the forums respondents ...
