Volunteer or Martyr? They are not the same thing. I believe in the past you have stated that you are a professional in the field of psychology. The doctor will see you next doctor. Just as a friendly reminder, safesport training is a requirement from the USOC. Blame USA Hockey all you want, but you...

It's a bunch of BS that is going to drive even more would-be volunteers away. Our association has discussed this and even interpreted the rule to go so far as any hockey moms who are in charge of carpooling need to take Safesport. Basically, it could be interpreted that any adult who spends time wi...

I did mine to get it out of the way. It is free which was surprising but was very boring. And as some of you said it is mostly common sense. It was just like the age specific modules. Let the video play as you do other things and take the quiz at the end This is the exact kind of feedback USA Hocke...

How could the Residency rule apply to Tier 1? In every other State it's a free for all. Team Wisconsin is a Before and After Team and they pull in Players from all over the entire State. What is the point of Tier 1 if they apply the residency rule? Minnesota Hockey rules apply in Minnesota, and the...

I am asking this because I obviously don't know the rules. If an association only offers B hockey can a player transfer to an association that offers A hockey and that transfer is automatically allowed because the player's "home" association does not offer the level of play they seek? Cou...

I would bet that the U14 (boys) will fill up faster than anyone is ready for!! All of the 7th and 8th (some 9th) graders competing against "the best" competition in the country for two years before HS, playing 60+ games and for a National title. Then they can open enroll to the HS of thei...

Their interest will be purely ego and financial driven, but there will be lots of them. A few teams will lead to many, just as pretty much all summer teams are called "AAA". But wouldn't MN Hockey have control over the number they sanction? IL only has 4 Tier 1 teams. To my knowledge they...

Sorry Froggy but you are describing the AAA experience of 15 years ago. Listen I get that Minneaplois metro area has tons of amazing hockey and that most do not need to do a Tier 1 team to get good hockey and good training but the reality is the rest of the hockey world, including out state MN, has...

There's a whole new generation of kids and parents who are traveling all spring and summer long outside of MN. They're ok with the cost and like the competition. I'm guessing that some also like the idea of checkbook hockey and wouldn't mind skipping the perceived politics, drama, mandatory volunte...

The HP 14/15 program is relatively new, and not widely known. It's offseason so I suspect that some administrators in some organizations may not be on the ball with publicizing this program to their members. If WBL is hosting this they may not have the same problem. Maybe none of this is accurate, ...

How many that skate for OS made it? I also think the D2 goalie is not from any D2 association area. Is it possible that you are looking at this backwards? Maybe many of the best female players skate with Os, and then of course they make these programs, because they are the best players. This would ...

In all these situations, there is a process to follow. These situations should never begin with anything other than a meeting between the player and the coach. The only exception is when there is physical abuse involved. Coaches and administrators should very, very, rarely meet with parents without ...

old goalie85 wrote:I like open tryouts. We had open for years. Then switched because a couple parents were nut jobs. Why should I be penalized for one or two nut job dads. I also support letting the coach pick the team.

How are closed tryouts penalizing you?

Hmmmm. Top players....No, I don't believe it. (Politically) Selected....that I believe. Sect 1 - 2 Sect 2 - 1 Sect 3 - 2 Sect 4 - 2 Sect 5 - 4 Sect 6 - 6 Sect 7 - 1 Sect 8 - 1 Is it possible that the girls were asked if they wanted to be evaluated during the Senior Classic, for selection to the NIT...

I didn't hear the guy say it would be easy, he just said it was worth taking a look at. And I don't care which section they come from, I just happen to agree that it would be more fun to watch the 8 best teams. Sometimes, in fact I'd say often, the best teams don't play for the championship. This h...

almostashappy: I guess I wasn't talking about intimidation and celebrations. I was just talking about in general stepping onto the ice. Eagan was not intimidated by Edina, just couldn't beat them. Can't say the same about their other two opponents. I didn't see anything out of Edina that I didn't s...

I agree that it begins and ends with the coaches and parents. What does it say about Stillwater that they have their team name on the back of their jersey, where typically a players name goes? Is it possible that this coach has made a point of emphasis, playing and celebrating as a team, or am I jus...

I'll take one last stab at it, and won't need your template. Celebrating is great and a goal is a goal, a win is a win. INTENTIONALLY AVOIDING YOUR TEAMMATES, to ensure that you can display your individualism, is in my opinion, selfish whether it's in front of 10 fans or 20,000 fans, scrimmage, or s...

Reading into this way too much.... these are kids celebrating an exciting time in their lives. These players are not paid adult professionals, kids who love to play for the love of the game who love their teammates. Yes, I do believe they all got to touch the trophy while eating their cake too. I w...
