It will be interesting to see if you are right. If you are correct congratulations on calling last year's list of kids. It would be very disgraceful if this is the situation for all the kids that actually make an effort to want to represent Minnesota with dignity. Some of these players do deserve to make it based on what I saw, but, some don't. There were other players that don't have a "name" that set up a lot of plays, played position well and had great hockey sense.

Here is some perspective on the 16's from the Western College Hockey Blog-

Also 17's and NIT

Is it about team play and playing a position or individual skills? I heard Reebok jackets tell kids to play their position and move the puck but then it seems the kids picked are the ones that play more selfish and try going coast to coast with limited success. So is it better to fail 80% of the time for the sake of a dangle rush or simply play a "team" game at the expense of not being noticed?

From the beginning of the process through the national selections, selfish play is rewarded while team first play is not. Anyone that thinks differently is simply not being honest.

This is absolutely correct. They need to have term limits on evaluators. Same thing year after year.

Good points, but since it seems the vast majority of 54/national spots are already taken before the district tryouts even, not sure it matters.

Bottom Line - Don't waste your money.

I think it's still worthwhile for out state kids; they don't have the chances for exposure that the metro ones do.

But they, and their parents, need to go into the process knowing that that is what they should use it for, exposure, etc., not for a chance at the 54's/national camp.

If that happens, icing on the cake. If not, it won't be a surprise then.

the article says brandon wahlin and it should be Jake Wahlin for the 17s

If there would be a term limit on evaluators, does that mean they'd need to turn in the Reebok jackets or would MN Hockey increase participation fees $10 per kid and bump the cost of admission to buy more jackets?

When do kids "Select"ed for the 16 and 17s teams get posted?

And having read the article, where was Gallagher for the 16s? Did he pass because of baseball or some other commitment? I believe his dad was a big baseball guy back in the day.
