Sick and tired of hearing how the only good teams in the state are from the city area. Enough said. Good point and I stand corrected. I will say that Roseau at 12UA came to play this weekend. Small bench and gutsy performance vs. Edina yesterday coming out with the win in 2OT. Roseau is a class Ass...

Pretty much going as planned at 14UA. Should be a decent game for 14UA Championship. Have to think Edina 4-0 over OMG Gold. The two top teams at 14UA playing for the Championship. Too bad can't say that for other levels (i.e. 12UA).

First off, let me say I am a disgruntled BluehawkHockey - I appreciate you acknowledging yourself as a disgruntled parent however relax. Seriously done all of the 'selects' weekends. It's not worth you sweating it. Seriously relax and don't ruin the run for your daughter. I guarantee it. Your makin...

Edina v. Roseau Blaine v. Lakeville Brainerd v. Eagan Osseo -MG v. Anoka Let's be honest and everyone knows it. It's Edina and everyone else but.... Edina over Roseau 5-1 Blaine over Lakeville 3-1 EN at the end Eagan 3-2 over Brainerd in OT ( could actually go either way) OMG Gold 5-1 over Anoka Ed...

Here are the brackets for the 14U Regions http://www.minnesotahockey.org/page/show/1118364-girls-14u-a I'll give this one a shot: 14UA American NE Metro vs. Tonka NE Metro is on a roll coming off a sweep of the Woodbury Tournament and then winning the D2 Districts. Tonka finished 2nd in D6 playoffs...

IMHO I also don't agree with bigger programs tiering teams at A level. Not to get off topic too far since this topic is B Level tiering; however at the A levels at 12U and for sure at 14UA, please don't forget there are top end talented players that often are overlooked when decisions are made to m...

Hey, does anybody know which districts will go to which Regional (National or American). Is it always the same districts? For example last year for 14UA, National Region consisted of D2, D6 & D8. American was D10, D3 & D5, and of course Olympic was Northern Teams. Is that always the same eac...

14UA
Anoka 9, Roseville Silver 1
Blaine 6, Stillwater Black 0
Buffalo 7, Centennial 3
OMG Gold 8, Rochester 2
Eden Prairie 6, NWC 0
Edina Green 12, Bloomington 0

Looks like a battle for the wild card spot!

I have been to both Duluth and Fargo, both are good tournaments. I would lean towards Duluth for an overall competitive advantage as the majority of the top teams do tend to go to Duluth; however Driving 3 hours North to end up playing the same teams, and sometimes the same teams from your District ...

12UA Centennial over Roseau Edina over Blaine Blue Elk River over OMG Chaska over Duluth Edina over Centennial Elk River over Chaska Chan Elk River 12UB Centennial over Silver Bay - Centennials depth as a 'B1' too much for Silver Bay Edina Green over Northfield - Edina Greens 'B1' depth figures out...

The Duluth tournament was a huge disappointment to me this year for the reasons mentioned above. Our girls have been in this tournament since 10U, and competed in it this year as a 14U team. Obviously the brackets were deliberately arranged to knock out the stronger teams right away with no conside...

Bone, where did you hear this or is it out there somewhere to point others too?

I bet if the HS coach was involved they would want two A teams to develop the largest pool of girls. Our HS coach was adamant of putting 15 skaters on our A team but because of overall numbers our director didn't want B teams to have 12 skaters so our A team took 14 skaters even against our HS coac...

The question I have for you Redarmydad are these. How do you know they weren't looking sooner? How do you know they haven't been trying to find a solution for months? It is possible they had girls leave for High School at the last minute. Trying to lineup U14's is a complex process every year. Not ...

Rumor I 've heard is Stillwater looking to field 2 14UA teams.

They could have gone 3 on 3. I hate shootouts!! Its in there to finish the game quicker? Really worked here. Might as well do a coin flip! Totally agree. I see that D2 does not do shootouts either. Anybody have any rationale from D6 as to why they would've gone to shootouts this year. Sounds like t...

Get used to seeing Edina in the big school championship games. Their run of championships is about to begin. I wouldn't mind seeing HM pull this one off but the depth of Edina should outlast the Pioneers; however don't underestimate Hannah Brandt, she can take over the game. Edina wins 5-2 is my gue...

The shootout featured a total of 50 skaters (25 on each Two points: 1. By the time they got through 50 shooters they could've played another 10 minute OT! 2. How about the goalies having to face 25 shooters in a shootout format! 25 times, 25 shots, now that's tiring for the goalies. Hardly seems li...

Toughest 14UA district in the state and shootouts are determining who advances, just doesn't make common sense and don't give me the injury angle. Oh well at least the D6 reps can make sure they get home early. Does anybody know if other districts do shootouts? This isn't just another tournament, le...

I totally agree. A shootout in district playoffs! That is a cop out way to end ones season. Come on D6, you're better than that!

Love the take on this from buzzhockey.com, thanks for sharing mnhcp. The annual B vs A discussion is about to get under way :D. It's always interesting thou to look at the following year after the State Tournament to see how many of those same associations that opted to play B last year now choose t...

I could do a better job making the 12B Top 10 list blindfolded. This is a slight and a travesty. Also, New Prague...be very humble with no A team. Any other teams in the top 10 with no A teams? Of course Chisago Lakes, it wouldn't be 12UB hockey without Chisago Lakes playing it's typical 12UB hocke...

I am the proud parent of #27 of the Riverhawks. Better known I guess as the 4 ft nothing..60 pound "diver" for the Riverhawks. If this the 4 ft player that I saw out there on Saturday she was FUN to watch! I actually had my own 4 ft something daughter watch her to show her how a smaller p...

On the topic of Goaltenders, I saw last weekend the North Metro goalie, all I can say there is outstanding! I'm not sure what North Metro has for Goalies at the next level including JV/HS, but she's the real deal. Good size, stays very calm in nets, gives up nearly nothing for rebounds and can prett...

Hey 1233313123 or whatever Did I hit a nerve? :lol: Now attacking my moniker? I’ll think of a cleverer moniker next time for you Panpan. Pequot is in the upper bracket with Tartan. You should be giving credit to Champlain Park instead. Nice team....great goal tending. Conspiracy theory shot! Sorry ...
