Can someone explain the downward spiral at Chaska? Man, they were rolling for a while and once Snuggerud left they fell off hard. I thought Cooke did a decent job keeping them afloat but now they are just bleh. Sounds like an ideal spot for kids looking to play and a coach to bring them back to the mix.

Chan and Holy Family coaching staff has a daily presence at Breakaway - a ton of high end kids go there. They've also lost kids to Shako and Tonka thy last 4-5 years.

Yes - Armstrong/Cooper is officially open. Crazy deal. Casey was doing a helluva job in year 1.

And he's an alumn too right? Lemme guess what the problem was?
They've got some decent talent on that team so it should be interesting.
