Scorekeeper, great post and I agree with ALL of it. This is the reason the CHL is getting bashed. The more US players head north, the more bashing of the CHL. The NCAA is a BILLION dollar plus business on the backs of these kids. Most D1 hockey schools roster 30 players yet only get 18 scholarships ...

For 98s its too far out to say. For the 97s a lot can change after the USHL draft tomorrow night and colleges being able to make contact in June. 96s are probably holding out till the very last minute to decide this summer. All great options for these players but I bet many stay and go the the US ro...

I still cant believe some of these touchy feely Minnesota wimps are so bent out of shape about a visit to Vancouver. He was kicked off the team, he didnt leave. By the way, elite players leave to for the challenge. Thats what elite players do. Minnesota seems to only have one mold for hockey players...

Re: the real issue
Are you cracked? The coach told him if he goes there would be consequences. So he goes and gets the boot. That is the way life works and it should send a message. Why didn't he wait a few weeks until after the season. This was bad planning/advice or pressure from the WHL.[/quote] "Consequences" for ...

Yes, there are always risks. But, the Whl is not always honest with kids and Alex and anyone else going to the WHl should be very careful. It is a business and there is a reason everyone says they are slimy. There are a lot of kids that go there and get nothing in return. The education package is g...

There will always be risks. Transfering to a private school is one of them. It works for some but not for all. To be successful takes risks. Some kids like to stay in their comfort zone and stay home, others seem to excell when being pushed to the limit. This kid probably heard the same crap when he...

For a player of his age this is a great accomplishment. If he can play in the WHL next season its a no brainer. His development is linked to his years with the Machine and Wisconsin Fire. Both strong programs with competitive schedules. The the CHL (WHL) would be a natural progression for this playe...

Re: Select 15 picks
It is an agonizing process, picking the top players to represent MN at any age level, lets not forget that. It is not an exact science, but these folks know what they are doing. It is my hope that a player not selected will be HUNGRIER and continue to train, work hard, and keep a positive attitude....

I would suggest that the Brick should allow 2 teams from Minnesota like they do with Ontario( Pro Hockey, Toronto Bulldogs). Minnesota could send the Blades and the Machine. The Machine beat the winner of the brick for the 98,99,and 00 levels when they were in Winnipeg. I am not saying Machine woul...

I think Minnesota could do better if they followed the Team Brick model. Team Brick takes players from throughout the province of Alberta. Most teams at the Brick follow this model. I would like to see the Blades build a team from the top players in the state and see what happens. I know they have t...

Truly, I don't know if any of the said "assumed to make it" looked that strong when I was watching. There is something to be said for players that have skill, hard work ethic AND can give it for the whole camp. From what I saw, there were several names not on anyone's radar that were out working, a...

I agree. The Brick is a great tournament. One of the best. I'm a fan of both the Blades & Machine, just not with everything they do. I just think this year's crew is going against their own "code" to have a better showing, so they can "recruit" against the Machine. Having an older Blades kid, I thi...

The Brick is a great tournament. Take a look at the 94s-97s and see how many players make it to the advanced teams (15s,16s,17s) when they get older. I would say the Blades do a great job at identifying talent at a young age. Love them or hate them this club does get the talented players when they a...
