Does anyone know if MM was able to roster a 98 born Snipers and Grinders teams?...in other words, have they found enough kids to participate?

I don't know how the '98 machine is doing, however, the one kid from our association on that team has at least 10-15 '98s that are better players (they are all playing squirt hockey and he is a mite). They need to improve the 98 machine before they get the snipers and grinders going.

What association are you from?

Yesterday you were on here bashing MM and the 2 new teams with , "Its all about the $$ theme". Today, you start a post wondering if there are any spots open at the 98 level? Rather than posting to a chat forum, why dont you just call Minnesota Made and ask them if there any spots open for your boy!

It is one of the larger Twin Cities ones. Kids are doing Blades, Iceman, Showcase AAA, Easton, Velocity 3v3 and RBK instead. They are playing on teams with their friends for the most part. They are also playing other sports and the mandatory attendence has turned some away.

Is there a 99 team? My 99 is losing ground on the top competition in the state.

course they will have a 99 team I am amazed you had not heard they are
to call themselves The Silver Dragons and they are really going to bring on the heat. If you do not get out of the woods in time you may get burnt
so pack your bags and maybe you could even be the COACH..

Good call BoardMemeber but you missed - the "bashing" you referred to was my opinion of the situation - last time I checked that is what this forum is all about.

The reason for my question is that I recently heard that they haven't filled out the squad. In regards to "your boy" wanting to get a spot on either of the teams wasn't the intent of my question nor an interest of his but my questions is relative to a different matter.

So, since you seem to know so much are the 98 teams filled or not? - simple question.

Tryouts were over MEA in October. If there are spots left, it’s only by those that are on the fence about doing it. Payments have already been sent in and they are non refundable I'm sure. So those on the fence would have to forfeit what they already paid if they decide not to do it.
