Was it Duston or his younger brother? <p></p><i></i>

OK carpenter Guy,<br><br>I am 100% in favor of open enrollment because it offers kids with special talents in many areas, opportunities they would not have otherwise. <br><br>Open enrollment forces schools and their respective programs to <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>compete</strong><!--EZCODE BO...

I stand by my description of Millea as a socialist. I could go back into StarTrib's archives and provide a lot of support for that argument. Others posting here agree as well. <br><br>It is very dangerous when a columnist such as Millea is allowed continued access to such a large readership base wit...

<br>John Millea is a socialist (like so many at the StarTribune) who wants every student to be forced to play in his home school district with no opportunity to take advantage of better opportunities in other schools that would help that student develop his/her talents. <br><br>He has been on this r...

C'mon Zammer,<br><br>Defend your statement. What say you? <p></p><i></i>

Yep Zammer,<br><br>To be more specific:<br><br>Howells - Michigan St.<br>Kronick - UMD & St. Cloud State<br>Huck - Mankato St.<br>Kilpatrick - Colorado College<br>Hillen - Colorado College + 3 U.S. National Teams<br>Taylor - Harvard + 1 U.S. National Team<br>Hagemo - U of Minnesota + World Junio...

<br><br>Alana committed to our neighbors to the east, Wisconsin, over the weekend.<br><br>Hearty congrats to her. She will join fellow Centennial grad, Tom Gorowsky, who plays for the men's Badgers in Madison. <p></p><i></i>

Hey Lee,<br><br>Where is Patrick Finegan? He was an absolutely outstanding skater. Saying that Randolph allowed allowed him to roam a little bit, would be a gross understatement. <br><br>I heard he went to major juniors after 98. Is he still playing hockey somewhere?<br><br>Thanks. <p></p><i></i>

Hey Gopherhockey22,<br><br>Appreciate your apology re:the facts. Let's not let facts get in the way of a good post.<br><br>The reason we AHA supporters are somewhat sensitive to anti-AHA and anti-private school comments, is because we have been hearing them for too long and because 99% are baseless ...

Wild77,<br><br>Have to agree with KC on this one. Maybe the reason AHA has been successful in all of these areas, including academics by the way, is they have a successful formula for doing things over there. <br><br>They rely on personal responsibility and personal choice. They recognize success wh...

Hey Gphrhcky22,<br><br>Trebil was never fined for a recruiting violation.<br> <br>The school suggested the fine as a final resolution to the whole investigation. The fine was for alledgedly encouraging a hockey player to not play football. This is a charge Trebil denied then and I am sure would deny...

<br>Moorhead won't be nearly as good next year. They are losing 15 seniors! Jefferson is losing 10! No way these teams will be nearly as competitive. <p></p><i></i>

<br>Holy Angels is the best team in the state because they have the best coaching staff in the state. Their victories over Jefferson and Moorhead in the state tourney proved that.<br><br>If AHA played Warroad, they would beat them by 4 or 5 goals. AHA is 3 forward lines deep, 2 D lines deep and most...

<br>No one will be better than Holy Angels...again! <p></p><i></i>

Hey Slappy,<br><br>The fact of the matter is that there is only one Minnesota Boys State High School Champion every year. This year it was Holy Angels. Last year it was Centennial. In 2003 it was Anoka. In 2002 it was Holy Angels. Get the point?!<br><br>This debate is brought forth every year by fan...

<br>Without Trebil pumping in pre-trained talent from Jefferson's youth program, Saterdalen would have been just another mediocre high school coach. <p></p><i></i>

<br>How many goals and assists did RJ Anderson end up with this year? <p></p><i></i>

<br>Forsberg is an over-rated dirty little goon. His days are numbered in the NHL. <p></p><i></i>

ref101,<br><br>I appreciate your candor. Don't think there isn't enough money to pay officials. The MSHSL is an independent organization and is not funded by any one school budget, and it has plenty of dough. If a little more money would really improve the caliber of refereeing, the MSHSL could find...

OK Ref101,<br><br>I'll put my money where my mouth is. I would be willing to pay more for admission to these high school games if it would contribute to higher caliber refereeing. More money should help attract new blood into the profession and also contribute to more in-depth game review and contin...

Ref101,<br><br>Any response to my comments other than,... "well if you don't like the job we do, you go lace em up"...?<br><br>If that's your attitude, it proves my point that this state needs new blood at the high school level. <p></p><i></i>

Ref101,<br><br>What is the problem?<br><br>Why is refereeing in the state at the high school level so poor? Has the game gotten too fast for the refs? Is there not enough young, talented skaters joining the profession?Refereeing in the USHL is much better than the MSHSL. <br><br>I see a lot of games...

<br>Never in its 20 year history has there been a winner from a private school. I think that shows some bias.<br><br>Only 3 of the past 20 winners have been defenseman. You can't tell me the best senior player in the state has been a defenseman only 3 out of 20 times. This shows bias toward those wi...

<br>I don't know that Blake Wheeler will get it next year. Remember, he attends a private school. <br><br>In 20 years of the Mr. Hockey award, no player from a private school has ever won. This year, seven of the 10 candidates were from private schools...but no winner. <p></p><i></i>

<br>Last year's winner, Nate Dey hasn't done a thing at Green Bay. Maybe that is due to GB's general ineptitude. His selection has always been curious. <p></p><i></i>
