That is my point 36 guy. Play the 3rd line and dress more than 13 skaters early in the season. Give opportunities to those kids in games that were easily in hand. Burnsville, Chaska, MV, Buffalo and maybe their were others. Those are meaningless non conference games before the Holidays. The players ...

I have nothing to do with Tonka hockey. I have no problem with the coach playing 2 lines or whatever players he feels gives him the best chance to win. This is High School hockey and playing time is not equal. What I do have a problem with is not playing other girls when a game is already in hand. W...

This was the only solution. To many rule violations and it was obvious to everyone. This should have been handled when the roster was turned in though.

That was one of the worst calls in a state tournament game ever, period! 2 minutes left and that play had no effect on the outcome of the game. Quite frankly you could have called the St, Thomas player for the penalty. Then to not call a penalty at the other end for a worse hold or interference than...

I watched this game at http://www.ihigh.com/shakopeehockey/broadcasts.html It has now been pulled from the archives. Shakopee coaches should be ashamed of the way they handled their team. Coaches did nothing to control their players or to try and stop them from getting involved. Game is over and Sha...

AHA rolled 3 lines the entire game until the final minutes.
#26 was not gassed. He played well. They needed to win a draw and defend
Their own end in the last minute. Neither happened.
AHA played a great game but Edina was just a tad better in the end.
Great game!

He is over rated. I would rather have Kyle Rau than Bjugstad. He didnt take his team anywhere today and was a non factor.

When I said they go 7 deep, that means they are 3 short of having 2 solid lines.

It is just my opinion..How has their track record been through their youth years? Any success?

EP has always found a way to win the big games with this group of players, but I think Tonka will somehow pull this one out. I think the best thing that happened to Tonka was to struggle a bit down the stretch. They will be ready and motivated for this one. 4 - 1 Tonka.

Jefferson goes about 7 players deep and has potential goal tending problems. Edina will win this 4 - 2.

Meyers will need to stand on his head for Benilde this year. 1st line was good, 2nd line was ok but the rest were average.

Besides Besse, I thought the Benilde freshmen looked completely over matched. I'm not sure why they were getting ice time.

Boogey, This is obviously your first experience with travel hockey.......There are many choices and everyone always thinks that their choice is the best. If you want your child to play AAA hockey, find a competitive independant AAA team that allows for participation in all sports. These teams usuall...

End of summer money maker.

It seems that these so called "All Star" tournaments are every month. If you don't mind paying a minimum of $25 per ice touch then it's ok.

The kids have fun, but don't expect it to be anything more than some ice time with new kids.

I feel very bad for the MM coaches and staff that will have to put up with ChanBoogey. It is only a matter of time before he considers MM to be inferior, not very well run, to competitive, or whatever. It's people like this that complain, complain, complain, complain and will never be satisfied. All...

So the Boogeyman is the coach who fell and hit his head on the ice in Chaska? This is why we have the mandatory helmet rule in Minnesota? Now it makes sense to me. Boogeyman is ripping the coaching in his association and he was a coach that is not qualified to be on the ice to teach kids the skills ...
