03 Blades are playing Invite correct? No 03 Miracle Gold?

03 Level
Machine Black
Euro American
Legacy
Minnesota Blades

I guess no MG this week. Unless they are on someone elses roster.....

Legacy Gold?

What do you mean by Legacy Gold???

I think he means that there are a couple of MG players that "help out" other teams. It's all good.

From what I have heard Legacy has 1 MG player playing with them this weekend, everyone else is on there tournament roster for all of their tournaments. The only reason he is playing is (2) Legacy players are playing with the Blades in this tournament

Actually 4 mgs... its all good.

Actually 1 player, other 3 have been playing both all year. So they are as much as part of Legacy as MG.

Does Legacy allow their "Prospect" players (i.e. the ones who have paying and practicing all summer) to play in tournaments when they are short players? Or do they leave them at home and borrow ringers from MG?

Not sure where you get your information from, but when both teams were in the Meltdown, none of them played for Legacy.....

By my count, there are 11 kids on '03 MG roster skating this weekend, this includes both gold and black roster and '04's.

The reason those players played with MG during the Meltdown is because the Legacy wasn't suppose to play in that tournament and those players had already committed to play with MG. There was a mix up between the tournament director and the Legacy director. Legacy decided to stay in the tournament instead of withdrawing at the last minute to help the Meltdown out.

So you're saying that MG won the meltdown with Legacy's players?

What I'm saying there are players that are rostered on both teams, Legacy and MG. They play for both programs and practice for both as well. Legacy also has players that play and practice for the Blades as well.

Maybe I chose the wrong side on the "watered down" debate earlier this year. Knock Bernie all you want for keeping his teams in-house. But "Invite" programs that share players and pull from other programs week-to-week seems lame to me. Sounds like there are too many "Elite" programs and not enough talent to fill them. How many players are on the rosters of these teams? Do they ever ice the same group or switch it up every tournament?

MN Bladegacy Gold 03?

Wonder what those jerseys would look like?

I am only aware of two that are rostered for both MG and Legacy 03. It seems to be just one families choice. Other kids may just be filling in when Legacy needs players, probably just for pick-up tourny's.

Rumor has it the MG and Blades matched up twice at the '03 level this past weekend and neither game was close...can anyone verify?

Blades by 4 or 5 goals in each game, heard neither outcome was ever in doubt. Again, just what I heard.

What happend to hope of the north.

Did the Blades bring in kids to make sure they won?

International Cup 2012
03 Machine Black 7
03 Miracle Gold 6

From the box scores, this looked to be a pretty good match up. Looks like one kid on the Machine Black scored 4 of the 6 goals and assisted on another. I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that he was brought in from the orange team.

It's only one game. I would guess they will play again in the championship.

Anyone know if they have kids missing or something? I thought they would handle the black team.

Something, was they are 8 and 9 years old, took to many penalties, did not play well, and very good goalie for Machine.

MG 03 beat Machine 6-3 to take home the ship. MG out shot machine 42-14. one orange kid had all three goals.

Miracle Gold would like to thank the 20 players and their families that participated in the NAHC in Winnipeg this past weekend.
