40 players and 7 goalies tried out for D3 team in 2010 and most years.
One player/parent story from 2010:

My son grew up in Cooper program which merged in 07 witch Armstrong. Just had B1 as highest level through Pee Wee.

We open enrolled him at SLP but he made Bantam A at AC as young Aug 95.

Varsity coach at SLP calls three time in fall and asks to tryout for varsity.
 e times (had seen him for 3 previous summers at their camp and I went with relatives to SLP.

He trysout and coaches like him and plays 3 varsity and 12 JV games. He/we wanted him to get to know kids at his new school and decide even at JV he will go plus we violated Armstrong hs varsity tryouts not allowed rule. Different rule than SLP had as SLP coach said he would only ask him to come if he would contribute at varsity as 9th. Yes he left Bantam A team after parent told BA coach. They told entire BA team that he was off the team and then had a vote two days later and kids voted he could come back. He really just wanted to cut the cord by now and didn't want to go back as the clearly were mad at me about not informing about SLP coach actively inviting and telling us just to come out as there are no rules preventing tryouts.

Nominated to tryout for District 3 by hs coach. We list that he is SLP JV player and he is one of 2 goalies and does ok and picked for St. Cloud even though other good Bantam A goalies didn't go.

Goes to A15 tourney at New Hope and their were 3 bantam A coaches inc from Wayzata and OMG.

At St. Cloud he and Hunter Miska were roommates and teammates for whole week and team goes 5-1 and wins title(also had Gross and Labosky (who I felt was MVP of tourney ahead of Fssching, Sheehy, etc.)


First of all Hunter was most athletic goalie and for only playing for two seasons really deserved to go to NY from North Branch.
Second, I thought it was a VERY fair selection process to NY.

Third it is the absolute best week of classes, having a current D1 player be advisor and drills , off-ice and living in dorms with all 102 players.

Dylan Parker and John Dugas were alternates as Ryan Daniels was second NY goalie. Mr. Miska and us thought our son would go but great experience.

So many Wayzata and OMG Bantam A's tried out for District team and several went to St. Cloud. Deservedly so.

the grammar is so bad, that it's hard to follow what your point is.

Listen to Bo's points for clarification....he is making sense, although hard for me to admit it.
