just reviewing the sophomore names it seems to list the majoity of sophomores who played regular roles on their varsity teams. i see a few i personally know who played only JV. the JR / SR group, probably to many other elite options or Junior tryouts so the higher end players by-pass this tournament...

past reviews on the Gopher State, from my experience, is that the Sophomore group is a strong tounament with most the top 10th grade players in the state, partly due to theres not much else out there comcentrating on this age group. all these type of tournaments are more for fun and the experience r...

my response was not about your post. all I am stating is "someone" posts about Wins, then "someone else" takes and turns it into ass'ts / players and states comments that he is far from a good coach. I do not know the guy, can't tell you anything about him. all i can say is what ...

regardless of how some may think he picks his team, or recruits or what ever. the original Post was a Congratulations on 500 wins. thats a lot of hockey, a dedication and an accomplishment. just a guess, but i would think over 50% of todays high school coaches are far from having close to 500 Games ...

Its like a Starbuck coffee, Pleasure! not driven by cost. the cost of $195 is for Fun, Freinds, Entertainment. These type of tournaments are not value driven. If your player is given the opportunity to play in a tournament such as this just have fun. My son played in this last year. he met great kid...

White Bear can't take Hill off their schedule. who cares about the out comes. heck - Its good, fun, rivelry. Just have Fun with it. enjoy the GAME. quality, committed people in both programs. That would be like Edina taking Eden Prairie off their schedule. just enjoy....

This whole subject seesm to prove more and more the need to switch to a AAA hockey system in the winter, for the simple reason it gives kids and families a "Choice" It seems like most players want to be given a choice of where to play, where to spend their money, ..... The Soccer world see...

do you hae to send the old sticks back?

Centennial Red 5
Wyzata Blue 4

Fun game to watch.

[I also have them do a pre-game warm-up, yup, the same one each time, before practice too. Consistency and repetition builds familiarity and bonding... You should see how much they interact when they do the warm-up... All good in my mind. Just another point of view. 8)[/quote] I agree with this part...

what else is there to talk about when you have an office full of hockey moms?

[quote="TellItHowItIs"]A coach cannot run a practice if the players are not there! If it is not a good Parenting choice to have kids out that late, then have the parents Say NO! alot of common sense is lacking on some of these coaches and associations when it comes to Child developing and ...

Thank you for your comments. I can see how "A" Bantams and up can where it. PW and below, I really question. JR kids maybe, Elementary?? NO way. funny when kids change at home to nice pants and a shirt (Plus wore out tennis shoes) walk in the arena door, the change to sweats. No one saw th...

A co-worker of mine told me today about her son's hockey team. They have to dress up to show up to the arena, walk in the door, go to the locker room then change into sweats to do pregame stretching :) her son's in 6th grade :) is it just me or is this comical? is this a bit overkill. I understand h...

Good Point....

I agree with the last 2 posts. very good comments. My two boys are out of youth hockey now, but in the past when my kids have had Non Parent coaches; their commitment level is not as high as a parent coach. One of my sons coaches had a elementary school daughter, so every time one of her activities ...

Warrior: Thanks for the post. Great to have a former player comment on the league.

So - the question then is: Does it Hurt a players chances if they play in this league?? is it looked Down upon??

I would really like someone from the league to comment on this. if Owls team reps go on this sight. whats there thoughts ??

ha ha ha

not much response? alot of views. My guess many do not know much about it. Thanks anyway..

What can you tell me about the MN JR "A" League? I know its considered a tier 3 JR Program. are the teams competitive? or is it just a Hack league? is it a respected well run league ?? what else ?

They also look at WHO the teams Lost to. Review the teams in question and see who they lost to, and compare that to overall state rankings. Rankings are just an opinion, a win or two against a higher ranked team does not automatically make a team move up in the standings. over all schedule difficult...

I respect your opinion. I can only speak as to my opinion.

let it ne.

Look at Lets Play hockey, under tournaments. Many More are listed.
