Schools, Just of the top of my head you have the Excellance Academy in Alberta and IMG in Florida. There are a bunch.

Do what you think is best and pay no mind to what others say or think. This is Minnesota! the last thing that most poeple want is for your kid to step out and try and be better than the next guy. You can say all you want about the Brian Bochenskis, but can you name 5 more kids that played B hockey a...

There was a recent story in one of the Mankato papers where the father of Zach Harrisons a player for Mankato said that his son would have never played D1 hockey if had not been for Bernie Mcbain. Eric Johnson in the Bloomington magazine credited Bernie Mcbain and Denny Connelly with his success. He...

I should have been more clear. He is the one that wants to play hockey over the summer. He had a chance to talk with a Gopher player that just got back into their line up and ask what he should do to be a Gopher some day. He told him that always skated as much as he could over the summer and skipped...

He wants to be a Gopher Just like most every young hockey player in Minnesota. At least all of the kid we know.

A couple of questions. 1. Does playing baseball make a hockey player better? 2. Any facts or Research on this topic? 3. We have been seeing that Minnesota has the most players in College and the pros hockey players, How many Minnesota baseball players are in the college and pro level? The reason I a...

Need to turn over a bunch of rocks to figure out this one. It would be easier to figure the final 20 to the National camp

Wow

In the end a coach is only as good as his record. Like it or not a coach will only be judged by his wins.

The Machine is starting a girls 99 team. It will be coached by Fidler who used to play for the North Stars. Call Minnesota Made.

OK, Oh wise one. I tried to give you a couple of thought on what brought us to chose the Machine program, but your response is to attack. The end all for you is to go to the Edmonton mall to "play the best teams at that age" and I'm the one that needs to "relax about 9 year old hockey...

Thinkb4engaging First my youngest is a 99 and to young for the Brick this year. If it is truly an "all star team" why is it the Blades. Why not give the team another name. Why not inclued Bernie as part of the coaching staff? The Machine and the Blades as organization are huge rivals. Bot...

thinkb4engaging .... You must be a parent of a Blades player. In fairness, the Machine teams are never invited to the Brick tournament in Edmonton because the Blades have an agreement with the Brick that they are the only team from Minnesota to play in the tournament. The tournament orangizers have...

I wonder if any of us knows enough about the Machine teams. I first saw them in June and I thought they were amazing. I have since seen them play six games. The last game I saw was when the 96 Machine team beat the 95 Predators in the championship of a 95 tournament. Everything about these teams is ...

Tim Hawkinson and Pete Carlson. Why are we not slandering these two men as well? Tim hawkinson owns Showcase and Pete Carlson runs the Super Rink. Tim Hawkinson's Showcase Hockey is a for profit business and Pete Carlson starts loads of programs just sell ice at the Super Rink. Could the reason be t...

When my son and I watched the 96 and 97 Machine play at the Easton Cup I was very impressed with passing and the line changes. How much do they practice?

We have heard about the Machine and went to watch both 96 and the 97 teams play in the Easton Cup this past weekend at the Super Rink. They were very fun to watch. Both teams pass the puck better than any team I have ever seen at any level. It was amazing. The 96 team was playing at the 95 level and...

This is a fun thread. I think everyone is thank full for the ice sheet that they have, but some rinks are real nice and some have seen better days in the end this is just people talking on line to fill time on a entertaining subject.

The worst arena was the old Breck arena. It used to be called the Golden Valley Ice Center. I had a frost heave on the south end that was huge, No dehumidification at all so it rained inside the rink and only two tiny locker rooms. It was a short rink only 185 feet long and when it rained out side t...

That Ambroz kid is a Monster.
