Motzko - Family moves to the cities for job.....The kid doesn't like Minnetonka after one year of Varsity and moves back to St Cloud to live with friends or other family members - Immediately eligible (and I've stated in earlier posts, I am glad they allowed this)
Blake- Leaves for Shattuck at the start of 9th grade. Comes back in December- Plays Bantam AA for rest of the season.....Mom and Dad still live in Eden Prairie .....Eligibility status for varsity still unknown?
Summary- a D-I coach/dad has a lot more pull than a former NHL'er
If this kid was a nobody moving from Albert Lee to Marshall no one would be talking about it
Until MSHSL gets their act together with hard line policies just let these kids move all they want...You can't have rules with asterisks . It's simply to hard and to unfair to manage
Do either of you actually know his eligibility status, or if there is actually any question if he is eligible or not? Do either of you know if his parents live in the same house?hockey59 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 22, 2019 12:58 pmI AGREE 100%yesiplayedhockey wrote: ↑Fri Nov 22, 2019 10:20 am Compare this to Motzko

What difference does it make? The point is the MSHSL make exceptions for the sons of D1 coaches (at will, not requiring them to move like everybody else). So why is JB status such a big deal to you (unless he will be taking ice time away from your son) playing varsity at EP?MWS coach wrote: ↑Fri Nov 22, 2019 1:43 pmDo either of you actually know his eligibility status, or if there is actually any question if he is eligible or not?

Clearly not......
If he were my kid, my lawyers would be knocking on your door, Just saying.

Hey! I'd be talking about it.yesiplayedhockey wrote: ↑Fri Nov 22, 2019 10:20 am If this kid was a nobody moving from Albert Lee to Marshall no one would be talking about it
The only problem is I think there’s a major flaw in your logic above and that you are basing your position on something that is factually incorrect. But carry on.minnscout wrote: ↑Sat Nov 23, 2019 12:37 am Only reason JB is part of the conversation is because of all the other players that have gone thru the transfer process and have to do it correctly to get eligible. It doesn't matter if the parents have to separate homes in EP. When he started 9th grade at Shattuck and transferred back to EP in December he is ineligible to play varsity sports for one calender year, which means after the Holidays. If they have 2 homes in EP and he moved from house to house he is not eligible. He would have had to move out of EP school district.
I do agree the transfer policy is a joke, we should want the best players playing in HS league. Unfortunately rules are rules now and no family should get free passes.
Now that is funny, and (mostly) true.muckandgrinder65 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 23, 2019 12:11 pm This 'discussion' reminds me of a joke my first boss told me:
Arguing with an/a '_______' (insert: engineer, scientist, hockey parent, .....etc.)
is like mud-wrestling with a pig. Sooner or later you figure out they enjoy it.
Wow, that's too bad. I know intent isn't going to factor in here, but the kid has never played HS hockey elsewhere and grew up living several years in the community where he attends public school. Hoping this gets sorted out favorably so he can play.YouthHockeyHub wrote: ↑Sat Nov 30, 2019 8:33 pmMore to come ---> https://www.youthhockeyhub.com/news_art ... ow/1067705

Based on the rule the assumption should be that he will be eligible in January. Anything earlier should have been addressed with MSHL some time ago.
JV team should be pretty solid!saveforcollege wrote: ↑Sun Dec 01, 2019 9:26 amBased on the rule the assumption should be that he will be eligible in January. Anything earlier should have been addressed with MSHL some time ago.
I guess there wasn't a major flaw in my logic. Rules are rules, pretty straight forward.Section 8 guy wrote: ↑Sat Nov 23, 2019 11:04 amThe only problem is I think there’s a major flaw in your logic above and that you are basing your position on something that is factually incorrect.

I have no idea what the rules are. They're always confusing. Tim Tebow didn't go to high school, but was an insane HS football star. Sometimes things don't make sense.
