All, a 2nd tryout for The Brick Invitational has been added for Saturday, 4/15 from 9:15 - 10:45 AM at St. Louis Park to accomodate the number of players who registered as well as the '02 Machine players who have practice during the first tryout. FYI.

Correction, the 2nd Brick tryout will be held on Sunday, 4/15 from 9:15 - 10:45 at St. Louis Park. My apologies for the typo.

I would think that if making the brick team was that important to someone they wouldn't let a little thing like Machine practice get in the way.

The "Machine" is a team of already very talented kids that are gathered to play together. They are then claimed to have become talented by the teachings of Bernard by his faithful followers.

I'm amazed with the success of the first time (first week, or two... together) Machine teams without one lesson from this chosen one. Must be mind to mind training.....

The force is strong!

Hope this helps, OG.

I would classify the 03 Machine team as a team developed by Minnesota Made. Several of the kids on the team started with a program called "03 Fast Forward" two summers ago when they were about 6 or 7. After that summer they moved into either the silver or gold level of the choice league. Following that year in the choice league most but not all played in the '03 summer league. The team was picked starting March of 2011 and every kid on the team played in the choice league this past season as well as attending 2 monthly winter practices. So most if not all of the kids on this particular team have spent the last 2 summers and 2 winters with this program.

Mr. Bo may be correct for the other levels, I really don't know, but I think saying Minnesota Made played an integral part in developing the 03 team would be accurate.

CR, I'd rather have a fast forward than a slow one. Anyway, I'll bet my last dollar that the "developing" players from this 03 team could have gotten by just fine without Minnesota Made.

Is the 02 from the North playing in the selects this weekend on the Brick team?? He had 6 points vs the East!! Has to be a top 02.

Would be hard to be on a team that hasn't had it's tryouts yet. Actually heard that the 02 North kid might play for Manitoba at the Brick.

I would think he is a top 02 as well. He had a great opening game. Although the East did get the best of the North in the championship winning 3-2 in OT. I think the 02 Player from the North had one point in the Championship. But he is big, fast and strong, would be a nice addition to that Brick Team. The 02 East had a few current 02 Blades players.
