Lets get the predictions before the season starts.

Top JV teams (10)

I'd bet money they don't go undefeted, but lets be real, they are for real.

I like the idea of seeing that slovokian line together more often. Its worked for lines of great teams in the past.

Oilers ?
Montreal ?
Philly?

I don't think anyone involved in this decision looked at it as being more competitive for a title. They might start out doing well, but I think the entire state has seen the peak of girls/womens hockey. There is only so much one can do if there isn't enough money to go around. I know here in woodbur...

Is this where we hear TITLE 9 again???

agreed, the west coast and road games will tell us a bunch, but its nice to see them off on a great start.

Its good to hold a standard, but what will happen if the coaches get kicked out of too many games for the players taking pen.

The rink at Johnson high school, are you smoking something johnson prez? I know drugs can be a problem for urban areas, but that makes as much sense as the Metrodome being a great ice arena.

I think its a great way for parents and coaches to keep up on the girls. I like the idea of seeing the rules being enforced, but lets face it, unless you catch a player smoking or drinking, you can't do anything.

I'm not sure what you guys have against the guy. I guess I need to see how he coaches. He's been pretty nice the few times I've met him.

Well, maybe thats what you guys like to do though. Mess with a guy who doesn't defend himself.

I was just talking to the high school coach at Woodbury and he told me about this Fitzel guy. He was in last week for an interview. They are looking for a goalie coach. I was a goalie coach in the Washburn orginization for many years and I'm going to be taking over the role. Wes said the Fitzel coul...

I like the reference to Highland-Cretin

The last district one board meeting notes showed something interesting. Minnehaha is might have a Bantam B team this year. Whats next, we have Cretin take over the Highland program? They already act like they own the Chiefs.

This should be a great game, good luck to both sides and have fun boys. <br><br>Go blue and orange - make us proud.<br> <p></p><i></i>

I coach the goalies in the Washburn association and I've seen TONS of squirt/peewee/bantam games the past few years and I haven't heard of either of these guys until now. Good luck boys. <p></p><i></i>

That would make sense. Como didn't have an A team this year.<br><br>I think programs need to go A, but I'm not getting into that one again. You can go back a read my comments from other threads.<br><br>So, why should this kurth be in the all star game? <p></p><i></i>

I coach at the Peewee A level in the TC district and I'm wondering where this Kurth kid plays. Is he an "A" goalie. Cause there haven't been any goalies that played unbeaten like that for awhile. <p></p><i></i>

Think of this in real life terms. <br>Do we want half class students?<br>Do we want Mid rate workers?<br>Do we want the bar set at the average level?<br><br>I don't.<br><br>I want every kid to step up and follow along. I'm tired of disrespectful behavior. I'm tired of lazy effort. I'm tired of heari...

so a team can barely field (15 players) a team and they should be playing A hockey that is your opinion right?<br><br><br>Yes, because I've coached against teams with 9 players and we didn't have a chance. <br><br>I've also coached against teams with 20 players and stopped counting after 2 periods.<...

Hawkfan70-<br><br>there is a poster (rinkrat95) on here that believes we should make them all play A level hockey so they get thier butts handed to them every game.<br><br>Because playing "B" level hockey like Como - when they SHOULD have been at "A" level hockey only teaches the...

______________________<br>Just for arguements sake, when should an association be required to field an A team?<br>______________________<br><br>Always.<br>Its called a game. Competition, its what real life is like. If you have enough players to play Two A teams, more power to you. If you don't, you ...

RED LAKE FALLS<br><br>This is where Elliot70 should have posted his Red Lake Falls team. They don't have an A team, but he was bragging about them making it to state.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

Hey direlpatizo,<br>you must be smokin some of what that green hat guy has in your sign off.<br><br>I was asking about the A team, because as a coach myself, we shouldn't be getting all excited when people start bragging. Did Red Lake Falls PLAN on going to state? I start every game with the thought...

Do they have an A bantam team>?<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

I think one should take care of his own first. I'll stay over here. <p></p><i></i>

You guys need to stop playing God with these kids and start treating them a bit better. This is just hockey. I'm a goalie coach in the Washburn association and we would love to have enough kids to put two goalies on every team. Please stop putting the kids in the middle of these things. There isn't ...

I'm not against HEP, so don't take this wrong. I thank you for being honest about the program. <br><br>I don't like the fair play points because it isn't teaching the young players how to hit, it isn't teaching them how to score, it isn't teaching them how to stickhandle or stop a puck. <br><br>It c...
