It was just a question and people have blown this out of purportion. It read does anyone have a smaller organization than us? I just wanted to know is that all bad. Witch hunting season is over, glad we can turn to baseball.

Old goalie85, Time will tell. Is it better to go 30-0 as a squirt, or better in bantams/highschool. I have my opinion, but no right or wrong snswer. I don't know that answer but I know our players really did get a lot better this year and we practiced and had scrimmages outside with some of the bett...

We loose like many associations bantams that are eligible to go to high school and play JV or Varsity. (Johnson, Cretin, St. Thomas and Como)

Where did they go? After 40games and just two lines I think we got wore down at the end.

We played Inver Grove Heights "B" Squirt team for the championship in District 8 and the score ended up 6 to 2 Johnson Como but the score was 3 to 2 with 1:58 left in the game. This just solidifies that we are just a above average "B" team and not a definte "A" team.

I watched the district 8 "A" Squirt playoffs and We could play with one team the others would beat us bad with our two lines. We are to good for "B" and not good enough for "A" so the solution is to make the squirts the same as the rest of Minnesota Hockey (AA, A, B and...

SCBlueliner, I am the ex-president and the Head coach of the "B" squirt team and from what I am seeing I would hope they would have an "A" Pee Wee team next year. It is up to the President and board in the program. Last years "B" Squirts were 22 wins 8 losses and 6 ties...

I understand all to well about challanging your players. I use to coach the Johnson Como "A" Pee Wee's when all the teams in district 8 use to clober us 8, 9, 10 to 1 or 2. It was real hard to get your heads beat in every game and try to develop talent. I came back to coach last year at th...

Thanks Elliott,
We are not alone, but we live in the middle of the Twin Cities.

Does any organization have less players than us. 16 total Bantams ( "B" team) 29 Pee Wee's ("B" team and "C" team 35 Squirts (1 "B" team 12 total players, 2 "C" teams with 11 & 12). 80 Total Boys. We have girls but they all choose to play girls h...

I played against Doug in the 100 years of hockey at Johnson in December, He can still play unfortunatley for his brother Bobby which played with me at Johnson broke his hip at the very end of the game.
Thank You for the well wishes.

Old goalie85, Thanks for the comments, most of the families that left were not because of "A" teams but because they didn't pay their bills. Some seem to think hockey is free when you go out to the local establishment and see them spending money hand over fist on partying and not paying th...

We played Lakeville North Red last night and won 6 to 3 in a hard fought playoff game. After the game I had a conversation with the Coachs from Lakeville and told them about the posts on here and they said it is ridiculous that we are a for sure "B" team in their eyes. They have played us ...

Old Goalie85, You forgot to mention the "B" Bantams going to state this year. We have 16 bantams total for the program so yo say they should go "A", Pee Wee's have 32 total they should go "A" and the Squirts have 35 total, 12 for what your saying should be "A"...

I really appreciate some of the input but we have to designate before tryouts and schedules are even made before tryouts are done. Again we have 12 total players and part of the issue is we have two lines so our first line is playing other teams third line every other time. There is no way we ever e...

InigoMontoya, I know where your headed but we have a total of 35 Squirts. We returned 4 forwards back from our "B" team last year and we did consider going "A" but only had one goalie at this level and 1 returning defenseman. No we don't have an "A" team we have 12 tota...

I see on Youth Hockey Hub they rank Squirts and I also heard that Minnesota Hockey next year will have a tournament champions for all districts. Yes Squirt hockey is a stepping stone to Pee Wee's and Bantams but if you look there are alot more Squirt teams than the other levels, I think Minnesota Ho...

Are the pairings put together for the tournament? Can't wait to come up to Virginia hopefully it will warm up.

Have you tried sending an invite towards Thunder Bay?

That is great, Hope another team is found this is a fun tournament.

PuckRanger,
Better check with East Grand Forks, on their website it shows their "B" Squirt team in Fargo and the Green team doesn't have anything on theirs.
Better to be safe. We at Johnson Como are looking forward to coming back to your tournament. Had a great time last year.

Thank You Puck Ranger their is someone on the range who follows hockey forum.

How about it is late in the game and Virginia "B" Squirts are up 4 to 1 over International Falls and all of a sudden the horn sounds the refs are blowing whistles like crazy and than the score keeper says "EEL POUT TIME OUT" to give International Falls a break to catch their brea...

Still no response from Duluth or Virginia.
