Also good to find out in a sort of backwards way how our other teams might have stacked up when comparing each of our past results with MachineOS (both 01/02 & other). If that makes ANY sense at all.

You mentioned how big lots of the teams were. Would you say that many were underskilled compared to their size? Or did they play a style of hockey that was exploitable at times with the speed and skill of your girls? Any kids on other teams that would slot in with what some might consider the best 4-5 kids on your team?

This may be a reach but how might the 01/02 Os girls have done? Who scored most of your goals? Lastly, was there an all tourney team?

Sorry for all the questions...again, congrats on a great result...go MINNESOTA!!!

massalsa, for the size of of the girls on these Canadian teams they were very skilled. More skilled than you would think. But their modus operandi is to play the body and plug up the middle. In our first game against DHI we had a heckuva time getting the puck to the net. We may have had 15 shots over the course of the game. They blocked more than that I am guessing. The Toronto Wizards had 3-4 girls that made our biggest girl look averaged size.

There was an 02 girl (Van Wieren) on ECS-O that played 16U Honeybaked last year who is one the best 02s out there. She has size, speed, skill, and a very heavy shot. She typically plays on the West Coast Selects team so we have seen her many times. But WCS backed out of the tourney so she moved to the ECS team for the weekend. ECS had another girl who I had never seen before. Wheeler was the last name. She has always played boys hockey but will be playing girls next year for Nepean Wildcats. Just for the sake of comparison those two would be top 6 F on our roster, no question. As individual players they stuck out the most to me. The Big Dogs were a very skilled team. Played a style very similar to us.

I won't comment on how the 01/02 Os team would have done because if I said they would've competed I would be fibbing and if I said they wouldn't have then that would just be mean! How is that for an anwer?! LOL. Just so I understand you say that the 01/02 is selects can't compete with these teams is that what I have read. Am I correct?

Scoring for our team was pretty balanced. We scored 16 goals total. 2 girls had 3 each and 10 girls had 1 each. There was no tournament team. We will see many of the same teams in Rochester next month.

I read his official statement as, not commenting on how they wouldn't compete.

Please keep in mind half the stuff I post I only say it to get you going!

I can only predict 1 2001 from MN that I think will be invited to that camp this year assuming that she is healthy enough (Breza of Breck/Mound).

Maybe still injured? I haven't seen her name on any team roster this spring. I don't think she played in the Clash.

She WAS on the Gold team roster when they were originally posted a week and change ago. Now not listed on the team. Looks like one of the alternates now has plans for the week of June 11!!!

The aforementioned Breck forward was IMO a force on the ice last winter for
her team. If healthy I cant imagine her NOT being in that group of 66.

Yes, you are right NWH, systems were on point in all 4 victories in 4 games vs. WCS!! Don't forget about the 2 in Rochester last summer.

ZD, is your daughter playing with them in NAPS/Rochester? In all seriousness, WCS is a very good team.

Not rochester but will be there for the camp right after. Playing For them in July and Aug.

IM, thanks for clarifying for ZD.

ZD, when our teams played it was a pretty lopsided game. Honestly, the only reason it wasn't worse is because of the golatending. There are some really good players on the 01/02 team. Really good. There just isn't enough depth. Please keep in mind half the stuff I post I only say it to get you going!

Depth as in they were missing players or depth as in drop off from top to bottom?

Didn't Os beat them a couple times already?

The JWCD goalie was a 2003 filling in for Meyers. She was very, very good.

Huh, I heard it was a 0-0 tie...with shots being about 50-10 in favor of JWCD....But Jungels team won the shootout. Sounds like a pretty good game.
