What winter associations are losing the most kids? What other negative impacts have resulted? Is this the future or will MN Hockey find ways to compete?

District 10 is getting creative to keep their kids..... Hope others follow.

They have no effect on us as we are in Southern Wisconsin. However I have to give them some credit as they did give me the idea of creating winter 3on3 Skills Sessions that gets together once a week on Sunday evenings for about high level asociation players who want to get a little more out of their winter season above what they do in assocaiton practice and games. We ask that the players are loyal to their association practices and games first and foremost but because of the itme we schedule the sessiosn we have rare overlap. Just a nice addition for those who want a little more.

None whatsoever

Inflated a lot of egos to dangerous proportions

Of players, parents, or both?

Lakeville lost 25 mites to Minnesota Made. Hey, if they have a better product and teach skills that lead to a winning attitude, I am all for it. With a "roll the lines" attitude all the way through Bantam A (at least for North) MM should be a perfect fit for parents who want more.........

Has made No difference up here in Bernies home town of Forest Lake.

Gee, Forest Lake, huh? LMAO. I would hope it wouldn't make a difference up there. I'll think of you though, as I drive up to the Duluth PWA tournament in December.

Those kids that came back to our association really made the B teams dominant...

Want more as in shorten the bench?

What is totally awesome are the coaches from Minnesota Made who go back to coach within their own associations. They bring a whole new arsenal of the latest drills, tempo and knowledge that only benefits their home association. Before you know it, these guys are the ones running all the drills and the other coaches just say "wow, that guys good". That's the buzz at our association, they are good.

Way to go ROCK STAR!

Your association? Isn't that the Thrashers?

So - dogeatdog - are you saying your B teams are better than your A teams?
