I agree, no big deal. the district gives teams the ability to do that so they took advantage of it.

There are a number of coaches who think working on a "break-out" is working on defense. as the coach matures and developes they begin to understand that when your team has the "puck" in the defensive zone you are know technically on offense. Many Younger levels do not emphasise a...

This is an area Coaches truely need to know more about. Amazing how many do not know the Rules, penalties, so on and so forth. The Rules and the way penalties are called have changed so much over the years. If an official called penalties 100% by the BOOK there would be SO many penalties coaches and...

This all comes back to education, teaching. Not many PW or Bantam coaches even consider teaching how to give and recieve a check. How many Truely Know the Rules of the game? Due to the standards of play and the increase awareness of body contact injuries, the game is not the same as it was when most...

don't treat a win over Grand Rapids all that special this year. Their Down. I am guessing here, but I think they have lost much more then they have won this year.

It is more about getting mentally prepared for a game. When you are getting dressed in your shirt and tie before you leave for the game, it is time to reflect and get prepared for the task at hand. I think of it as getting ready to go to the office, cause there is a job to do!! Get Real :roll: That...

cost for tournaments is way out of control !! $1000 for 3 games plus hotel. glad my sons team is not in it!

anythign more then 15 skater is a problem and very hard to manage. Games are not very long. maybe 3 12 minute periods? just think - only 5 months left of that problem. its early in the season, games have not started. Fix the problem before kids get short changed. is there any "A" Teams in ...

I have to disagree that the Elite league is stronger then MNJHL. There are Some very Young kids playing Elite League (16 YR olds)

Its just an opinion Guys... Relax..

Hello, You do not need to register for USA Hockey. MN High SChool Hockey is not affiliated with all with USA Hockey. If your son were to skate at any select camps, or tryout for any JR team (Futures camp etc) then Yes he would need to go on line to register and pay the $40.00. Good Luck to your son ...

The big question is Can the Coach run the clinic with out getting any preconceived notion about the players in attendance? A player should not gain an advantage or be hurt because they attended the pre-tryout clinic. Only way to not create that perseption is to have someone else run the clinics and ...

Its To Bad, But Most winter Local Association can't even answer these questions. they change from team to team and coach to coach.

I see the NAHL and the MNJHL are starting to list there Rosters. actually quite a few HS SR's on the rosters. Are most leaving the JR team when HS season starts?

Just enjoy the game. remember its for the kids and its FUN!

Before you start thinking State tournament try to work on a confrence championship and a even just a .500 season first.

The World is going through very tough economic times. With that being said I know one program that has decided this is the year they will have the MOST ice they have ever had. So Fee's will be increased approx 20% across the board. YIKES !! Tough to build program with this type of a fiscial response...

Still a few spots available. Wonderful camp. register and info at

I will say they will have a couple pretty good players, But no depth, State Contender - Not even close. won't even be good enough to win there own holiday tournament. sorry.

Mounds view and hastings should be stronger then last year. they will both have more SR's this year. Forest Lake will only go as far as there first line will take them. other wise I agree CDC / Woodbury on top. WB, Roseville all in top 4.

The reason Summer AAA hockey is perceived as successful by most is it gives players / families a "Choice" One can select a Team / coach that fits there skill and philosophy. They can select how much they want to skate, how many games ect. Winter hockey does not give people that choice. You...

I don't know if I would go that far. Teir 3 hockey still has its top end players. Its not a bad "source" for those who still want to extend there career. This may be what some need to make it the next step as these young men develop. The Owls have been under the same management for longer ...

Just enjoy the game. have Fun

this would not be a good thing. My local High School team only played 27 games this year.. say it isn't possible !
