Re: hood

No, I'm not saying Highlands will go AAA or be impacted in any way. I'm saying the head of hockey for SPA started the current Stattuck program in the early 90's and is involved with AAA programs in the state. With SPA he has his own rink. Just speculation on my part. Didn't mean to start any rumors ...

Re: hood

What is the problem with AAA teams? My kid does not play for one and will probably never be recruited for one. With that being said, I think if a parent wants that for their kid(s) then they should have that option. I really don't think you will see a mass exodus to in-season AAA. If they want to tr...

Re: redistricting

Move Wayzata to district 6 and give D6 4 seeds to regions. Two seeds in two different regions. That takes care of the majority of mega districts. I'd love to see Wayzata in league play, but wouldn't want to have another strong team without an extra region seed. <br>Question, Why can't B2 and C have ...

Re:

I also have read the threads and agree that the problem seems to be "A" teams and smaller associations. I also think the underlying problem is parent egos. Parents want to be able to say their kid is an "A" player. On average, take your third line "A" player from a smal...
