This would explain the before and after Tier I requests being denied as well. All the players on the Blades for example would have to live in or go to school in the community where it is based.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're in Wisconsin if I'm not mistaken ?

Michigan also has twice the population of Minnesota. The point that was made is 100% valid. It's no coincidence that MN and MA have stronger HS systems and also higher per-capita participation.JSR wrote:Techincally this is not true. Michigan's enrolled USA Hockey numbers are on par with Minensota's as are Massachussettes, the number of kids they send to D1 re not but technically participation numbers are similarThis is why participation rates in MN dwarf that of every other state.

Then they can open enroll to the HS of their choice as a 9th grader.....it will fill up FAST!! I guess we will find out over the next few months.
I have heard that AA has lost almost all of their players (boys) that would make up the U18. Where will the new kids come from? Do the players have to attend AA to play Tier 1? (Similar to Shattuck) If they do, there does not seem to be any current players still around.
This would explain the before and after Tier I requests being denied as well. All the players on the Blades for example would have to live in or go to school in the community where it is based.
For the B&A teams, the way I read it was that MN Hockey some language in the bylaws that prohibit B&A teams right now, they have to get that language changed (which it sounds like they are in teh process of doing right now and will have it completed in the next 6 months or so) and once that language is clenaed up both the Blades and WIngs will be good to go for B&A Tier 1 AAA play in the 2014-15 season and beyond.... maybe I misunderstood what I read but I don't think it's a residency rule thing I this instance either, just some other bylaw language

For the SECOND TIME, I find the topic and the discussion interesting. Nothing more nothing less. Elliot's question is inaccurate in the sense that I have neither the time, desire or resources to start anything other than a discussion. A bigger question is "Why do MN hockey parents who troll message boards think they know everything and think that no one outside their state knows anything about hockey?". Heaven forbid someone elses opinion might have some merit....puckbreath wrote:Double bingo.JDUBBS1280 wrote:BINGO!elliott70 wrote:What I do not understand is why a Wisconsin man is so interested in starting Tier I hockey in Minnesota.

I'm a big believer in the more opinions on any subject, the better, so no, your not living in mn isn't the big deal.
You're not the only person on the board who doesn't live here.
Your hissy fits, pissing contests, and thrown insults with those that do live here, over T1 hockey in mn, a topic that affects you not at all either way, is.
You want to toss the troll word around, take a look in a mirror.
A bigger question may be; since the existence or not of such hockey in mn doesn't affect you, why are you "passionate" enough about the topic to throw insults ?

I think I'm inclined to leave my head in the sand. I think, at the heart of the matter, there are more parents that remember their own high school experiences fondly, not as the sole reason they were denied their dreams.
I also think that somewhere in the neighborhood of 2500 varsity boys will set their eyes on St Paul - taking 40 kids (not the top 40, though most in the top 10%) out of that system isn't going to kill it.

And for a guy who says the subject of T1 hockey in MN is just a passing interest, you seem awfully invested in this conversation.
Just sayin.

Narcissistic personality disorder is one of a group of conditions called "Cluster B" or "dramatic" personality disorders. People with these disorders have intense, unstable emotions and a distorted self-image. Narcissistic personality disorder is further characterized by an abnormal love of self, an exaggerated sense of superiority and self-importance, and a preoccupation with success and power. However, these attitudes and behaviors do not reflect true self-confidence. Instead, the attitudes conceal a deep sense of insecurity and a fragile self-esteem. People with narcissistic personality disorders also often have a complete lack of empathy for others.MWS coach wrote:ALL HAIL JSR!!!!
Why would anyone ever question him as he not only knows everything, but knows if first!!!
Give me a break.........
In many cases, people with narcissistic personality disorder:
• Are self-centered and boastful
• Seek constant attention and admiration
• Consider themselves better than others
• Exaggerate their talents and achievements
• Believe that they are entitled to special treatment
• Are easily hurt but may not show it
• Set unrealistic goals
• May take advantage of others to achieve their goals
Other common traits of narcissistic personality disorder include the following:
• Belief that he or she is "special" and unique, and can only be understood by other special people
• Expectation that others will automatically go along with what he or she wants
• Inability to recognize or identify with the feelings, needs, and viewpoints of others
• Envy of others or a belief that others are envious of him or her
• Hypersensitivity to insults (real or imagined), criticism, or defeat, possibly reacting with rage, shame, and humiliation
• Arrogant behavior and/or attitude
The exact cause of narcissistic personality disorder is not known. However, many mental health professionals believe it results from a combination of factors that may include biological vulnerabilities, social interactions with early caregivers, and psychological factors that involve temperament and the ability to manage stresses. Some researchers believe that narcissistic personality disorder may be more likely to develop when children experience parenting styles that are excessively pampering, or when parents have a need for their children to be talented or special in order to maintain their own self-esteem. On the other end of the spectrum, narcissistic personality disorder might develop as the result of neglect or abuse and trauma inflicted by parents or other authority figures during childhood. The disorder usually is evident by adolescence or early adulthood when personality traits have become consolidated.
