Re: Minnesota Select Stinks

This statement paints an incorrect picture -- at least as it relates to this year. I am familiar with elite MN girls in the 02-04 birth years, and a little 01. Many, if not most, of the top girls were represented this year in all these birth years........ I want to make sure I'm clear about what I ...

If you put ear rings on a pig, is it still a pig? :? Classy... And ignorant. Johnny apparently has no clue about anything that happened before 2013. Last year was a disaster because the tournament was moved to the weekend and clashed with a Prospect weekend. In the years previous, when it was held ...

Will he be coaching on the boys side, or just watching UND women's hockey since 2 of his daughters are playing in Grand Forks?

That's uncalled for--coachK most of us are hockey fans, period, and hope for the best for the Thoroughbreds' players and coaches.

I think the T'Bred defenders are getting overly sensitive and protest too much. Nobody is saying the girls don't work hard. Nobody is saying the competition isn't first-rate. Nobody is saying the coaching isn't first-rate. Marci was a star at CODP back in the day when it was THE summer program. Howe...

Nothing personal Sr. Montoya, but you should lighten up.

I'll try to drag this thread back to the subject. Monday night at Wakota you can see a super freshman--Kayla Capistrant from Roseville. On another note, only one person mentioned Corinne Henning last year when she led all 8th graders in scoring. Because of your lack of respect, she has accepted a sc...

You're not the lone wolf, but there are definitely hyenas out there who give Girls HS hockey a total pass when it comes to sportsmanship--and I mean fans and coaches in 'reputable' programs. I brought this up about a certain elite player last year who had scored 8, 7, 7, and 6 goals against overmatc...

White Bear Lake will bring 75 fans to a Mite game, and they all wear orange and black and have banners and are really loud. They're crazy, but usually well-behaved so you can't get mad at them, and they have a lot of fun. I've never seen anything like WBL.

The boys high school game , in my opinion, should teach a lesson about what might be coming for the girls if the new OE transfer rules are approved. The top male players now head to Juniors, etc, as soon as their Sophomore year, to the point that the quality of the HS game has greatly diminished ove...

Is there a movement in girl's hockey anywhere to introduce checking into the game? The girl's hockey parents I've talked to seem appalled by the prospect--but how about coaches and players?

There are currently two CODP teams, U16 and U19, playing sort of a free-lance schedule until HS tryouts start. The tryouts for these teams were pretty well advertised. I think the U16 team was limited as far as games go--only playing in a couple of tournaments in Madison or Oshkosh, but I'm sure the...

In the near future......

My daughter started playing hockey in 2002-2003 at age 6. She played in a boys Mighty Mite program and has stayed with boys Mite and Squirt teams until this year (she'll be a 2nd year U10 now). There were 8 or 9 girls involved in her Mighty Mite group--I think 5 quit hockey after that year. The next...
