So true. Look at Select 16 only about 5 kids from Northen half of MN selected. Not right!scienceguy wrote:I guess you are from the Twin Cities area. What you say is true for metro players. But those kids from outstate, other than Roseau, this may be their only opportunity to play where there are a number of coaches, scouts etc. These are the kids that are being excluded by the hypocrisy of Minnesota Hockey. Changes need to be made at MN Hockey.
Exactly. If an athlete deserves attention and plays in MN he (or she for that matter) will get looks from people who matter.ticktacktonka wrote:My son has also aged out of the Selects. He did always make the 54s, never made the final trip to NY. He is now playing in the USHL with a scholarship offer and will play DIV 1 hockey this Fall. The moral of the story is that this tournament will not matter in the Big picture. Remember Blake Wheeler never made it. Many other talented players get passed by each year. Maybe their name isn't hyped enough, maybe they are late "bloomers" or sadly, maybe they just don't have the right name. Like I said earlier, do it for fun- if you want- not for anything more.

Should be posted Thursday. Typically with the 17's they choose 5-6 D, 9-12 forwards, and 2 goalies.Gems wrote:...and how many players advance?
Should be easy to some up with 20 players. The quality of play and players in the 17's is outstanding! Normally the 16's in the cross over games make it competitive, not this year. Scores from 3 games with 17's dominating all there were 7-3, 6-1 and 10-2.mghockey18 wrote:Should be posted Thursday.

What are your predictions then SuperStar?SuperStar wrote:My predictions based off these numbers
D: Brodzinski, Schuldt, Raskob, Gross, Heinrich and Kivlhalme
F: Labosky, Sheehy, Peterson, Bergh, Lindstrom, Kuhlman, Hurley, Hajicek and Moore
G: Shepard, Larson
Based off of what numbers? The 54 tourney alone? You have to take the whole process. Section tryouts, Festival, 54s and the last season they had..My predictions are a bit different...
By numbers I simply meant how many players they select, not stats. But I would be interested in seeing your predictions SuperStarSuperStar wrote:Based off of what numbers? How can you possibly go off the 54's alone..?? That ridiculous....
You have to take the whole process. Section tryouts, Festival, 54s and the last season they had....I think that is what they will/should base it off..
Otherwise, why even go through the whole process. Just do (1) weekend and get it over with
Like I said there are a lot of players deserving and it's a shame some will miss out...SuperStar wrote:Not into naming names. But there would be a couple more EP kids on there...
Have no idea how good he is, but apparently the evaluators made their selections based on how well they thought the players performed in the tryouts. So often you read here how their picks are based on name and reputation only, and how they pretty much know who will make the final cut before the tryouts even begin.mghockey18 wrote:National Camp is up.

Raskob played well and surly could have gone. He is a great player, will have a good college career, and has nothing to prove. However, he has never made our MN team and has attented the National Camp each year, even making the Nations Tournament team last year while being cut the same weekend as this year. Why give him a spot when he will be in NY anyway? This actually gets one more MN player there! A win/win for MN.mghockey18 wrote:National Camp is up. A few surprises for sure.
