Does anyone know of any organization in the metro short or in need of a U10A player? Current organization only has a U10B team.

Coon Rapids

What is there fee agency in the metro for moving to other associations? What about the waiver process for moving, is that a "go" on both ends? Some of you guys on here are hillarious.

Contact STA, AHA, HM, CDH, Etc.

Three things:

1. It won't kill your daughter to play U10B. It's good for the youngsters to be a big fish in a little pond every now and again. She can supplement by playing in a competitive league in the off season.

2. See if there's any possibility of moving her up to your association's U12B team. She'll be challenged there. And she'll still be in your local association.

3. Choice League at Minnesota Made. Probably too late for that though.

Does anyone remember when the girls program and the C programs still maintained sanity? Aaahh, they're all grown up now

Does Bernie have a girls program out at "the made"?

The boys and girls skate together in both the Mite and first year Squirt Leagues.

If on the east side of the metro, try North St. Paul.

At the next board meeting I'll suggest relegating the girls program back to 2nd-class recreational status only. I assume that's what you mean by sanity? As far as shopping a 10-year old girl around town for a phantom A program, I agree it's silly.

With no 10A team and with your organizations blessing, its ok to look for any openings with other organization. My older daughter who was a goalie received great experience when given the opportunity to play for organizations short on goalies. ONE sad thing on this forum is, when you ask for help, you get idiots who say mean things and hide behind the internet. Thank you to the kind people who reponded and keep the positive in Minnesota hockey.

I agree. Like you said, idiots. Suppose you had a U10B team with a bunch 3rd graders who should be playing U8, we'd be so out of there doing what you're doing! Why would you want your daughter playing with such weak talent if you were able to find another option. People don't understand the unique demands in girls hockey.

I hope your daughter finds a team!

CoachK, contact Tito Elumba. Look on the D8 website for contact info. I'm assuming you're still in Eagan? I don't think your waiver will be approved by the Director to leave D8 unless you exhaust the possibilities within D8. Let me know if I can help.

Have not been in Eagan for 3 years, in District 3. Thanks for your input.

I believe the same rule still applies. I dont think you can leave your district until all possibilities in that district have been exhausted.

Nice spin, everyone is an "idiot" for pointing out the obvious and that is that your program offers a place for 10U kids to play which happens to be 10U B level. Evidently you are not in favor of that level so look to waiver out to another program which offers 10U A level. It will be an uphill battle for girls programs to grow their repective programs when parents decide to waiver out and associations focus on merging rather than trying to recruit bigger numbers out of their respective 8U and 10U pools. Hitting the elementary schools offering up in house program seem to be good places to start growing programs a bit. Seems the focus is in the wrong area early on where winning supercedes building at the 8 and 10U levels. Last time I checked 10 U was equivelenat to squirt level in the boys and most programs still try to focus on skill building and ice time, that is of course assuming program can retain the kids from jumping to greener pastures. If kids are 14U it would be a totally different situation as that level has been altered greatly in past couple years with the increase of moving girls up to JV and Varsity programs.

Northwoods, sorry I wanted to place my child at her skill level. Been coaching girls hockey for 15 years, not my first go around. I just love it when people on the forum are so smart they know other peoples intentions. How pathetic that there are responses other then what the original question asked for.

BK, I probably haven't seen you since then. Where you at? Send me a PM if you prefer.
