you have a lot of faith in the HS coaches and the HS tryout process...tryouts are not an exact science; even at JG

Bakke and Baker are good but not varsity good. the goalie Dalbac should have been on varsity but you can't blame giles for not cutting the assistant coaches kid "Not varsity good"? what does that mean? in most any other HS system (besides Edina and the other big assn's); the top JGA kids ...

Blaine v EP; should be a good game. EP has the edge with most of their injured players back.

1) There is still no place for less skilled non-U16 eligible to play. Most associations have one or two JG teams total. How do associations with 2 JG teams decide what level to play? 2) Is U16 meant to protect the younger (smaller) players? or develop them? I would like to understand the goal of tha...

Should be a great game between BSM and Tonka on Tues.! Location?

Is this JGA? If so, has Blaine improved a lot over the season or is Stillwater weak this year?

mp#99 wrote:Jefferson beat Edina White. tied and beat Edina Green

Is the Jefferson goalie still knocking the net off about 5+ times a game? Is he also playing JV? I remember him as a bantam being very good. He does not need to resort to knocking the net off to make "saves"

Too many penaltys of not enough? We will all have to get used to the new standards- the refs at my grandsons game last night didnt seems to know where to draw the line either - either too conservative or let too much go within the same game. In the meantime, kids dont need to get hurt playing JG ho...

Any updates on the Wayzata JG Tourney?

EP loses fair play point

EP is looking a little Jekyl-Hyde so far this year. now that I think about it many of the JGA teams are a little inconsistent. will be an interesting season.

Edina Why Edina? They have squeaked by Wayzata and Tonka; who are very close to EP- They look like the top four to me at this stage of the game- You would think Edina would be stronger with all the HS cuts but perhaps something more is missing from the team? So... They won the tournament and you're...

How is Tonka JGA looking this year? Shut out last night vs WBL, a tie in Duluth with EP.

Eagan had tryouts already?

Yeah I can't deny that I am very surprised at a number of these picks. Not really sure what happened. Coaches preferences are not all the same. That is to be expected at all levels. If you have not experienced that so far, you have been fortunate/lucky or had politics on your side. Congratulations ...

After watching many games this past weekend this is my best guess for the final teams. 16's In my opinion these players are "locks" for the team: Forwards 1. Fasching NTDP 2. Lettieri 3. Labosky 4. Cline 5. Valesano 6. Voltin NTDP 7. 8. 9. 10. Defensemen 1. Gross 2. Raskob NTDP 3. Ausmus ...

Were these Edina kids mostly BA ths past season?

Either way, SLP had poor attendance during the regular season and ended up at #11 seed. You gotta wonder what was up with the team if most of their talent didnt feel like showing up for district games. Then when things get interesting (play off time), they are all into it. Other teams played and pr...

Maybe because you were a team that won half of your games... So how does a team go from a win percentage of 50 to beating wayzata easily twice in the post season? From the 2 times i played them this year they had 3 lines of forwards and 2 lines of defense and 1 goalie.. But when i saw them playing ...

My predictions for JGA state were nearly dead on. Here's what I predicted and what actually happened: Predictions: M1 = Wayzata M2 = Tonka M3 = Edina M4 = Ep M5 = Burnsville or Lakeville M6 = SLP Actual: M1 = SLP M2 = Tonka M3 = Ep M4 = Edina M5 = Burnsville M6 = TBD (either Wayzata or WBL) If Wayz...

Great example....

Do most of the super stars play varsity as 9th graders?

Junior Gold "A" hockey is pretty good. The top teams (Edina, Wayzata, Burnsville, Tonka; etc) would beat 90+% of the JV teams and most class "A" high school teams and some smaller AA high school teams. Ask for a waiver and join the likes of a burnsville, lakeville, or tonka. The...

Ahh....lets see yes he is. Ask the SLP and Eden Prairie teams that just played against us the last two nights. SLP put 31 shots on him and didn't score a goal. The # 2 goalie was pulled around 1 min. into the game and the score was 2-0 SLP at the time. Final score 2-2. Tonight final score 3-2 eden ...
