Look, I'm just trying to figure out which MIAC schools improved themselves with their incoming MN HS players. Still would love to hear some names if anyone's aware. As to your assertion that D3 kids have better chances at employment, depends on the student, the major, and the school. Anyone who's p...

You had stated there are better players not selected and it was easy to see. I was pointing out that those better players (no denying they are really good players) could be substituted for other player and you would still have really good players not selected. There just isn't much difference in th...

There are a lot of really good players that didn't make it. Which ones got screwed??? My guess is if you take the 10 that you think got screwed (at one level) and give them spots and take 10 out then we will simply have a different 10 that got screwed. Probably very little difference between the la...

Once again, BIG CONGRATS to all graduates that have the opportunity to continue to play the game we all love. Hmmm, since you have been tracking this for 7 years, can you provide some stats and facts to back it up? I think "better job opportunities" needs to be defined as well. Not disput...

And just to finish off the selection for the 16s. Only 4 new players this year compared to the Nat selection as 15s (1 goalie, 3 defense). This does not sit well for MN Hockey when it comes time for new players to tryout for the expensive HP process. And we thought that USA Hockey and MN Hockey was...

Playing DIII hockey is nothing to snub your nose at these days. There is more talent in DIII now than there was in DI years ago. With the talent pool that MN hockey has created the last 3 years you will see many top players playing DIII since DI programs only take 2-4 players each year. And we can ...

I thought you could dress 20 players? If so, only 3 will sit. How many players are on the varsity? 18 skaters 2 goalies = 20. Kept 23 skaters so 5 sit. 41 skaters between 2 teams can only dress 18 per team on a night. Simple math 5 sit. I wonder if they will have to wear suits in the press box. If ...

what does the large number of 8th grade girls skating varsity or JV this year say about the state of girls hockey. Was there a lull in the numbers at the 9th and 10th grade level and a strong 8th grade class or is this an overall dip in girls hockey? Seems like more numbers coming up at U12 and U10...

They actually can kick you out of the Association. What happens after that is up to the District Director. But I can't imagine any DD wouldn't allow a kid to go play somewhere else. Would probably be better than being punished in the home Association.[/quote] Are you positive? When D6 implemented t...

I thought Jungles team had 30 skaters alone? I am not sure merge is the correct term. There were a number of skaters from both teams (30 in total I believe) invited to JWCD. I believe there will be three teams. Two JWCD teams and one 01/02 OS Elite team (which is what the 02 skated as last year).
