That 96 Machine team that you are referring to would have beat any Legacy team by 10 goals.

I don't think anyone referred to the 96 Machine team - may it rest in peace.

Really... Obviously you didn’t see any of the games when they face each other last year…MoreCowBell wrote:That 96 Machine team that you are referring to would have beat any Legacy team by 10 goals.
96 Orange RIP

I saw the championship game between the two at last year's Easton Cup (3-2 Machine win) and thought Legacy was the better team in spite of coming out on the short end of the score.MNHawker wrote:Really...

Last years 96 Machine had already lost some of it's better players from the year before.

And now they've lost them all. What is your point? A team that no longer exists could beat a team to which a portion of those players moved?

I could see, though, where it would disgruntle parents that are paying all that money, time, and effort when their kid sits on the bench while the non-payers play. If that's true, then they should only take the kids they are going to use or be up front at the beginning before they cash the check. This is a generality of course, I am not familiar with how any of these organizations work it. I am just leery of teams that have "developmental kids" to fund their tournament kids. If your goal is to go out and win high end tournaments, be up front about it. If it's to develop a group of kids over the years then do it.

These goals don't have to be mutually exclusive...you can accomplish both, as long as you are upfront and honest with the parents. If a parent would like to have his son/daughter skate with the team at practice and think of is it more of a developmental "camp", what's the harm in that? If that team also wants to take their best players to the tournaments, there's nothng wrong with that as well.getoveryourbadself wrote:I could see, though, where it would disgruntle parents that are paying all that money, time, and effort when their kid sits on the bench while the non-payers play.

Again, as a parent, you just need to make sure exactly what you're getting yourself into.

I have 4 playing with reebok nats. Two are tourny players to are competitive players. The comp players can make tourny teams ,But you pay extra 100.00 bucks per tourny. The tourny kids all go nomatter what and you pay up front for it. For instance Tourny kids are 1800.00 each. the comp kids are 1500.00 plus extra if they ask you to go to tourny. They roster 22or 23 kids including goalies. 12 are touny kids the rest compete for other spots.

Who pays their flights\hotel expense?
And don't deny it...I talked to Parents from Texas, chicago, St. Louis, Detriot, etc on the NAT's... while at the Warrior Cup
Do these Fly-in kids bump your competitive kids spots in the tourney's?

It is all weekend fun hockey no need to get so excited it's summer games which mean nothing. You might win you might not ? It's up to the kids but sometimes the parent coaches get in the way and do not field the best team for the kids who are giving it everything they have. It really is no difference if a Fly in kid or a coaches kid bumps someones spot now is it ??

Mn-hawk-- Good ?. I can only speak of the two teams that mine play on. The 98's have a kid that lives in both St. Louis, and hudson, he attends some practices, was not at the warrior. Will be at the rest of the tourns. I think they paid same can't say for sure. He plays for fire during winter. The 00 team has no one from out of state. When you get into 97,96 ,95's I'm sure you are right kids come from IA. TX. ND. and others . Who pays what I can't say because nobody ever told me, and I've never thought to ask.

Newer program so their reputation is building, they just did very well @ the Warrior Cup 96's beat Legacy for Championship, 97's took second (lost in a shootout), 98's took fourth (lost in shootout).
Nothing against Bernie, he himself is a very good coach, Craig Johnson too, they just have some other nut jobs coaching for them.

"Bo" was bumping the comment on Yuro, obviously in regards to the other thread being so popular last week.MrBoDangles wrote:ENJOYTHEGAME wrote:Check out Norhtern Edge Reebok Nationals @ neehs.com, if your on the south side of town they are hands down the best development program with the best coaches, led by the St. Louis Blues developement team (yes that's right PROFFESIONAL COACHES).
