I once asked a legendary coach why he does not get back into coaching. He left during his prime, was well respected in the community and won several championships. He still enjoyed both the game and the kids. His answer to my question was this............ "Son, when I coached several years ago the ...

Re: P
When you have an entire team commit D1 or D3, go ahead and brag. (19u Blades AAA) Most AAA teams player composition consists of a small core group of players and then another set of players that come and go. Imagine the U19 blades would be able to get most young ladies to play for them if recruited...

It will make little difference in attendance of the AA class Tourney. While almost every top team has one or two D1 recruits, there are plenty of teams and their top players that end their season early sometime in Sections. Attendance in the A Tourney is driven by the size and location of the school...

Hill does not have a school board (elected) - they are a private school. They have a Board of Trustees and a Foundation. If the newspaper article is correct, the girls program was left out of the plan. The addition of two new locker rooms on the west side of Aldrich Arena should be completed in mid-...

. Some parents want their kids to not just get to next level but be successful there and not ride bench and get cut in year or two. If the kid feels the same way and enjoys the hard work and sacrifice it takes to achieve that then decisions like going to BE are made by families. Won't half of the p...

I thought you pretty much hit bulls-eye Mr. Bowhunter!! How come nobody ever accuses Palmquist at So. St. Cow of recruiting? Or calling him out on his Kaposia tournament for never having to play a tough quarter final game? or hiding in class A? At least CP always said he didn't want to be in class ...

But hockey is homer by nature. Gopher fans rarely watch NCAA play-off games once their team is out (they are not the only ones to react this way). That is why NCAA hockey games are not televised on more than a local level. Hopefully the NCAA Championship game is not put back on "ocho". Look at NCAA ...

They cannot practice with their HS coach during the off season except for mid-June through end of July. Other than that: Many girls barely get a break running from the HS team to their AAA team and/OR F.H.I.T., OS, Blades. Often many girls (of the same grade) are on the same team, if not the same li...

In reality AA = A A = B1 B1 = B2 B2 = ? Everyone wants to be A whether high school or youth sports. Youth baseball in Minnesota went from A, B, C to AAA, AA, A a few years back. Hockey is just following. The change makes moving down more tolerable. Associations are not moving their A team to B, they...

Some coaches are upfront with Senior players that they made the team, but playing time will be limited. Some walk and play JG or simply move on to do other things. Others hang on - maybe hoping injury or hard work pays off only to find out that the feeling of belonging is all you get. To some that i...
