To start, let me wish you the best of luck. Considering alternatives to your local public high school is quite a process and takes courage. Be prepared to be talked about and ridiculed. My first piece of advice is to pick a school where your daughter will flourish both academically and socially. You...

Agree that some coaches may not make contact until after JuniorFest. We went through a similar experience. In fact, the first home visit we had was from a school that had never contacted our daughter previously. We asked the coaches we met what led to their interest in our daughter. The coaches talk...

Our experience with Division 1 recruiting is that while Junior Fest does give exposure to Division 1 schools, if your daughter is not on their radar already, they will not be spending much time looking at her. One way you know if she is on the radar is if she had received any e-mail from them during...

Here is the link to the teams participating this year. It appears that there is only one team - Ice Cats from Minnesota. http://www.proamhockey.com/Womens%20Chowder%20Cup/2010/AA%20teams.htm Other teams may invite potential recruits. Team Celine, for example, is often made up of potential Harvard re...

Last year, the organizer told me that there were girls that might have been in the A pool that were placed in the B pool because they replied too late. We heard from several coaches that they came to Junior Fest with a list of players they were coming to watch. That being said, if you are an A pool ...

Looks like no one took the bait. Perhaps you should have titled the thread Whyzata? Or perhaps Whinezata would be more appropriate.

My experience is that Women who choose to pursue an athletic sport in College do it because they love the sport. When you love something, you choose to devote time to it. This means that you sacrifice things like sororities, parties, Saturday afternoon football games and other social events that are...

[- private schools (who by the way do not develop talent from the ground up but instead get recruits, hire coaches and build programs off of the hard work of communities who do develop talent. Think Breck or any other private school spends one dime on youth hockey? Think they fund raise to get thei...

Cease and desist. Polls naming individual players should be taken off the forum. These awards are not popularity contests. Voting on a forum is. Happy to have discussion about the positive merits of players nominated. Its an honor to be chosen. This type of polling takes away from the honor.

St. Louis Park goalie played extremely well tonight and had it at a 2-0 game about half way through the second. But the constant barage of shots was the downfall. Irondale looks ready for the Benilde game Saturday for the conference crown. Good luck to both teams. Looking at the stats, is it true t...

With 250 views and no respones I think I got my answer. You need too know someone. That is what I figured. Thanks for confirming. Don't read into the lack of response. You can get into OS Hockey by signing up. The coaching staff will evaluate your daughter's skill level and place her in the program...

Hannah Brandt is an amazing player. As the stats imply, it doesn't matter if she plays first or second line. Get her the puck and she will make things happen. She is fortunate, however, that she is on a team and playing for a coach that recognizes that and makes sure she gets passed the puck. That d...

The only solace I can provide to OnTheEdge regarding the situations I've seen is that it doesn't take away from a younger player if a coach gives a V spot to someone who is likely not to play. This younger player is better off playing JV than sitting the bench. Often, coaches will have a promising p...

Any news on the Roseau v Minnetonka game?

OnTheEdge said: Again I have to say that every situation is different and unique My daughter is a senior and we've seen many different situations involving JV. I've seen several examples of Seniors put on Varsity, as a "reward" for the effort and leadership they have given to the program, ...

The Royals can play their conference teams and other private schools in their area. How many transfers will stay if their stuck playing a sub-par sch...

The Thoroughbreds are starting the season strong. Is this their year to beat Shattuck and represent MN at the National Level? Shattuck has recently suffered several ties and losses against MN Elite Teams.....

What is the prognosis?

Approved and fair are two different things. Potentially they're approved but it isn't fair.

1. MSHSL publishes the rules.
2. Players conform to the rules and change schools.
3. Players are approved to play.

Sounds fair to me.

Any Athletic Director that would allow an ineligible player to successfully register and/or play a Varsity sport should be fired. Any Coach that allows a player who is not registered with the high school should suffer the same fate. What should be the penalty for people on a public forum questioning...

This is the beauty of the sport of ice hockey. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. My pre-season picks for the league would have been: East, Outstate, West......in that order, based on the names on the rosters. Just like youth hockey where they award "Fair Play" points, perhaps they shou...
