Tournaments are happening everywhere, kids are going to different states to play in the big named tournaments, practices are happening, games are happening, Captains practices are starting.
You're not seeing kids flocking to the hospitals. Cases don't matter. Deaths matter.
SO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM, MSHSL??????
6% of deaths are Covid only, which is why kids are not really affected because kids don't have a lot of underlying health conditions.

Tell the lawyers to take a hike and let the season begin on time and in full.

Sorry to Hunter and Wise Man in advance but just take a breath.

Touche' on posting before midnight!

One clarification for you: Coaches who attend the MCHA fall clinic advance one level in their USA Hockey CEP certification process. They are not awarded Level 3.

No worries.

The advancement can progress through Level 4. For Level 5, you must attend the USA Hockey Level 5 Symposium. Was supposed to be held in Duluth this year, but was cancelled.

... New report just today from Pen St.’s Athletcs physician now saying that 30-35% of all BIG10 athletes — not just PSU but, all BIG10 — have contracted myocarditis. Both symptomatic and asymptomatic. I realize you choose to not care about real data and science but, It’s kind of a big deal. ...

WOM, you did this with a previous statistic in this post, and you're doing it again. It would help if you would accurately portray statistics. Penn St did not say 30-35% of all athletes have contracted myocarditis. They said 30-35% of all athletes that confirmed positive for COVID-19. That's a huge difference.

I'm not downplaying the study, I agree that if it's true that 30-35% of the positive cases developed myocarditis it is something to be worried about and/or researched further, but please don't fudge the statistics to further your argument.

I contacted all of my MSHSL Sources and MSHSL Coaching Sources.

Here is what I got:

Big Dates for the MSHSL:
September 18th they will decide on postseason for Fall Sports... Big to watch to see the trend of if they are going to allow State Tounrey..

OCTOBER 1St

The MSHSL will lay out the Tenative plans for remainign seasons.
- Winter
- Football and Volleyball
- Spring

Once the MSHSL comes out on October 1st and announces how many weeks and games will be cut from ALL winter sports to fit in the Football and Volley ball Season the coaches i talked to said the MN Hockey Coaches Assocaition will propose a bridge season covered by MN Hockey to make up for the loss of weeks and games that will happen.

There will be a season its just gonna be restricted and still no signal on having a postseason with a final state tournament in st paul.

Blueblood let me know if this seems right or if Goldy is telling your staff at Minnetonka any different?

There will be a season just going to be cut the question becomes will MN hockey be allowed to bridge the gap in the meantime?

Certainly interesting. Obviously, I hope that the second report is more accurate than the original as, believe it or not, I actually want a season as much as anyone since it’s how I contribute to the family finances.

You don’t have to hope, read the other article he included. PSU retracted it, it was 100% false. That was the “Real Science and Data” that you said the rest of us couldn’t understand.

Rails....not sure what you mean when you say it was "100% false". If your interpretation is that the doctor is now saying that there hasn't been any myocarditis in any BIG10 athletes who've tested poaitive for Covid, you may want to go back and re-read the Penn St. doctor's clarification. He is not saying there isn't any myocarditis being found in BIG10 athletes who tested positive for Covid. Here's the important portion of his clarification:

"During his discussion with board members, he recalled initial preliminary data that had been verbally shared by a colleague on a forthcoming study, which unbeknownst to him at the time had been published at a lower rate."

What he's saying is that the 30-35% number is inaccurate. Not, that there haven't been any athletes diagnosed with myocarditis post-Covid infection. It's still an extremely concerning issue. The "colleague" he was referring to is Dr. Curt Daniels, the Director of Sports Cardiology at Ohio St. Here's a portion of a New York Times article about the situation;

"Daniels, the director of sports cardiology at Ohio State, had also been busy, working to publish a three-month study whose preliminary findings were presented to Pac-12 and Big Ten leaders before they shut down football earlier this month. Daniels said that cardiac M.R.I.s, an expensive and sparingly used tool, revealed an alarmingly high rate of myocarditis — heart inflammation that can lead to cardiac arrest with exertion — among college athletes who had recovered from the coronavirus.

The survey found myocarditis in close to 15 percent of athletes who had the virus, almost all of whom experienced mild or no symptoms, Daniels added, perhaps shedding more light on the uncertainties about the short- and long-term effects the virus may have on athletes."

Here's the link to the article itself so you can review it if you'd like;

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/23/spor ... virus.html

The point is, the original statement by the Penn St. doctor wasn't "100% false". He simply gave an inflated number which, is what caught everyone's attention because anyone who had been covering the story assumed he was referring to what the Ohio St. doctor's final report might have indicated. And, since the Penn St. doctor's number was double what the Ohio St. doctor had said initially, it only increased the possible seriousness of the issue.

For those of you that may be minimizing this potential post-infection issue, please see this other New York Times article on myocarditis;
