How long has Rogers had a HS now?
I believe that when my nephews lived in Corcoran, they attended Elk River High, as did the Rogers students.
Where, in relation to the age of the hockey program, would you rate Rogers in terms of growth, quality of team(s) and is the program on the right pace, doing better than expected or will never be a factor, and reasons why?
Rogers record is above .500, I believe.

I think Rogers has done well.
I remember 5-6 years ago when my son was a squirt we we're filling out the bracket for the tournament we were hosting and had heard Rogers was a brand new, first year, association. So, as tourney plannners do, we filled out the bracket and gave our Squirt A team Rogers in the first game. How good can they be? We'll, they spanked my sons team. Not close. Afterwards we did a little research and learned it was in fact their first year as a youth hockey association but previously all the kids had skated in the Elk River. Ouch.
They're strong for what is probably considered a small to mid sized association.
2 Bantam teams
4 PeeWee teams
3 Squirt teams (oops, recruiting slumped, should have 5 or 6)
9 Mite teams (don't know roster size but a good indication recruiting is back on track)
Weak on the girls side. Need to do a much better job of girl recruiting. Girl numbers should equal boy numbers at the lower levels. It can be hard to squeeze more boys out of the recruiting effort but lots of room for improvement on the girls side. Girls can save struggling assocations as they pay too.
They should recruit between 60 and 100 new skaters each year. Almost half should be girls.
Anyone know Rogers new skater numbers this year? Split between girls and boys?
