Machine Boys
Snipers
Team Torspo
Minnesota Force
Thanks,
At Minnesota Made Hockey we set our goals high. Over the last 17 years of coaching young athletes we have seen over and over again, if you start with a young enough player who has good (not even great) athletic ability and a strong drive to achieve. Combine this with enough ice time and high repetition skill training, they can accomplish great things. With the right commitment we can help these young athletes reach their goals and do things that others can only dream about.
The question is, are you willing to make the commitment?
AAA CLUBS
Our first AAA team was the called The Minnesota 88s, the team was made up of players born in 1988. Over the seven years that the team was together the focus was on high repetition skill training, very little systems and we only competed in tournaments. By the time the 88s reached draft age, 8 of them were drafted by NHL teams. After the 88s had run their course we started a '96 team called the Minnesota Machine. With the same development strategy and focus as with 88s,“The Machine” quickly became one of the top '96 teams in North America. They have made it to the championship game of every '96 tournament they have ever played in both in the US and Canada. They have won every tournament but one. It wasn’t long and we were approached by many families about getting that same kind of training for their players. Since then, we have added Machine teams at most all levels and in 2006 started a second AAA club using this same training model. Now in 2008 we have added two more AAA clubs bringing the total to 4 AAA clubs.
The Current AAA Clubs with Birth years are as Follows:
Machine Boys - Birth years: 01's / 00's / 99’s / 98’s / 97’s
Machine Girls - Birth Years: 01's / 00's / 99's
Snipers - Birth Years: 01's / 00's / 99’s / 98’s / 97’s / 96’s
Team Torspo - Birth Years: 01's / 00's / 99’s / 98’s / 97’s / 96’s
Minnesota Force - Birth Years: 01's / 00's / 99’s / 98’s / 97’s
I know that you will think that this is MM bashing again but yet another documented issue of nut bag coaching.. take a peek at the meltdown thread and the antics of the 99 torspo coach.....HockeyDad41 wrote:I pulled this off the web page.

I will rest when your overblown support for a program that has some obvious issues rests. I chose to point out the obvious and You my friend are the Nutbag.. and by the way that is my word...HockeyDad41 wrote:Your hatred of MM is well documented.

High Mark is a 98 open team that is sponsored by the 99 Torspo coach. They practice with 99 Torspo and i think some of the 99 Torspo players play with them.thunderwolf wrote:Does anyone know where Team High Mark fits into the Minnesota Made Hierarchy? I don't see them listed on the MM website, but the parents from the 98 team mentioned that they were from MM. At least in the 98 division, they were stronger than both the Snipers and Force(both those teams went 0-4 and weren't competitive).
Not sure who they make thier checks out to, but you have to bet that BM gets his cut.thunderwolf wrote:Thanks. That would make sense. They did have a couple smaller kids and the coaches style seemed to match that of the 99 coach discussed on another thread.
So the non-Torspo kids aren't involves with MM in any other way?
They're obviously not that great if they had those results in the open division. i would like to see that 96 team play the legacy invite team. it wouldn't even be a gameENJOYTHEGAME wrote:Check out Norhtern Edge Reebok Nationals @ neehs.com, if your on the south side of town they are hands down the best development program with the best coaches, led by the St. Louis Blues developement team (yes that's right PROFFESIONAL COACHES). If you don't check these guys out, you have no idea what your missing. Newer program so their reputation is building, they just did very well @ the Warrior Cup 96's beat Legacy for Championship, 97's took second (lost in a shootout), 98's took fourth (lost in shootout).
Nothing against Bernie, he himself is a very good coach, Craig Johnson too, they just have some other nut jobs coaching for them.
If the Warrior, Stars and Stripes “Invite”, MN AAA Independent, USA International Cup “Invite”, and Lake Superior Stars Cups are considered “Open”, than yes, the Academy Teams are in those…InigoMontoya wrote:OG85, when the Legacy speaks of the academy team, it is not the same team they would take to an invite (or elite, for tourney run out of Edina) tourney. Legacy parents please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they enter a couple open tourneys with their development kids, filling in a couple spots with tourney players if they're a little short.
