Re: Very Nice Comments

I think you also have to look at how many of your B level players are making it onto successful high school teams when those perennial A players from the squirt level on up are getting cut from that team. Development is taking that relatively small herd of mites through the system and forming power...

What about coaches using that final minute of ice time in critical situations as a reward to those have put forth the most effort in both practices and games? They earned it, give it to them. Although that is a coaches final decision and how they decide that is up to them. HockeyDad41 asked who is ...

Coaches who shorten the bench at the youth level must really be under a lot of pressure to win. That's pretty sad. You'd be surprised how much pressure some coaches are put in, even at the youth level. One thing I haven't seen being talked about is motivation. Everyone talks about confidence, and h...

I can't believe that no one has talked about the tenders for both teams, Danny Harper and Jim Kruger. Both played in Elite in the fall and have been on varsity for 3 years now. IMO, two of the top tendies in the metro. I expect them to step up big and make it a goaltender duel. I'll take Tonka-2 Bl...

Did D11 have B1 and B2 levels last year, or just A, B and C? From a district's viewpoint, there is an issue within the district schedule if you have a B level - some associations have 1 A team and 1 B team, some have 1 A, 2 B 1C - two equal B teams create more parity in district games, rather than ...

Teams with huge programs like Edina, OMG, Eden Praire are killing their competition already this season against their metro area rivals.

This is a very true statement. EP-4 HM-2 You gotta believe this game will be closer than most think but I don't believe in the upset, and I really don't like private schools. Sounds like a little bit of bitterness from a WBL fan whose average team didn't make the tourney. (Get him a waahmburger and ...

With so many upsets/close upsets this year, there is no reason to not believe that Apple Valley can beat Cretin. They shut out Woodbury because of good goaltending. I would like to see that again.

It would be amazing to see MV beat White Bear, but WB is playing so good right now, it seems like a long shot. I still stand by my Stangs though, 3-2.

Good D and a few capitalized opportunities is all it takes, with a couple lucky bounces.
