I take it CenRED is from Centennial and his/her daughter did not make the team. However it looks like 3 others players from D10 made it. Where does all the complaining end??? If your daughter did not make it, learn from it. Evaluate your own player and make the good decisions to improve your athlete...

Nice analogy. I agree with most of what you say. The parent groups and associations have to come to an understanding to support such a plan/proposal but to many "general managers" will make it a recipe for disaster. Another drawback, most associations do not allow waiver players to make A ...

[/quote] I've seen a lot of A teams (girls, boys, all ages) that play dump and chase hockey. I blame it on the coaches instead of the talent. Given a weak team coaches can decide to play defensive hockey, or to develop their players even if it means losing a few games. Coaches who chose wins over de...

Nice call! - Was a heck of a game, both teams made adjustments and all players responded to challenge. Congratulations EP for being able to capitalize in a very good game.

WOW!

MinnGirls-HockeyPAPA etc... :shock: :shock: Hockey PAPA-maybe it is with that mentality you have been bit in the butt and you blame coaches for not picking your daughter. Be realistic, coaches in general are not out to make decisions based on parental likes and dislikes. If this occuring then you ne...

Great tournament so far!! The outcome of the games has been what the majority of the masses were thinking all year long. Congrats to EP and Edina for making it to the finals of this years U12A State Tournament! :) It was predictable as the sun rising from the east. Two large associations with deep t...

HMMMMM Chisago over Tartan in Semis 4-2 of the State Tournament. I guess that A team idea from the eager parent group of Tartan love was a little off base. Losing to Chisago in Semis now has you playing for 3rd and possibly ending up 4th. It was a nice run! Congrats Tartan for giving it your all, yo...

Go Blue!

Pans&Knights - The two of you should just leave it to the players and just sit back, relax and enjoy the memories. It is obvious that both of you have players on the NWC/Centennial teams and most of us like your competitive enthusiasm which makes for entertaining reading, but seriously. Its very...

Financial?? Why would Minnesota Hockey not do its due diligence to determine which Districts can support the full experience. This seems like a matter of Minnesota Hockey not supporting the membership. Is there a checklist that helps make the decision to give a association ownership of a tournament ...

Settle down Hockey-Twelve-Thirteen-Thirty You have not given any substance to your posts. Just Area 51 insights and analysis that is as believable as the sightings you have witnessed. Your retorts are fodder for the few that want to read uneducated hypotheses. Please embrace the contestants and be h...

Slurs, profanity, punches, cheap shots etc...You can take the families out of Sherburne County/Elk River but as the saying goes....you cannot take the Elk River out of the family.

Good luck ELKS!

Did Edina "throw" it this past weekend to play in the weaker side? I am not sure if it is possible, but does anyone have a take on this?

Go Blue!

PANs - you make a clear observation and now Hockey121330 should be humbled by the words of many and just be happy that Tartan plays at the B level. They are a B team and this past weekend is obvious that the association made the right decision. Good luck to all the 12B state tournament teams, may yo...

There are no C teams because the same reason why the State Tournaments in all sports (specifically Hockey) have a championship opportunity for all school sizes. Thats why we have a 9 man football championship, so we dont leave anyone out. That is why we no longer have one high school hockey champion...

Tripped....did you fall into the metalic paint your were sniffing when you posted that jibberish??? He is a fine goalie, but come on. Elks are the 1 seed for a reason. Huskies have the #3 out of D10, just wanted to clarify. I do like your enthusiasm, but your statements lead me to believe you were h...

Its about ice time IMHO. You need the quality coaching hours. Just having hours with a leader with the title of "coach" does not always compute. Can the lad actually teach, articulate, demonstrate effectively in more than one way. You will need at the very least 100 hours of ice time descr...

Hockey 12 - Did imply or state that any 10A or 10B could compete. I said 12A and 12B. I simply said top 12B teams cannot compete with the top 12A. I will give you case in point.. Edina. Edina 12A would beat their top 12B team which looks like 12B Black handly. Another point, Eden Prairie. The EP 12A...

Some of you have a good perspective on the 12A & B play and for the majority of you....you need to take some sort of sedative and relax and understand that it is B Hockey and your daughters, I HOPE, are having fun and ignoring your quality coaching skills in the car. Some 12B team could "co...

Sounds like some envy and jealousy from some of you. There is a reason Blaine hosts the D10 10U tournament every year, because we have the venue and volunteer staff to support it. That being said, we can control a lot of things. We could have done even teams but why do that when our team at the next...

RAD --Please re-read my post. You thought the D6 officiating was to soft for your taste. I simply was stating a few "observations" about why your view is/was so scued. Of course IMHO. RAD, for you information; officials DO NOT only ref in one district. They ref in many other districts thro...

Please, enthusiastic parents, keep your passion for hockey just that and let the Refs/Coaches & players do their job. Get away from the tunnel vision RAD!! You have to quit assuming "everyone" is out to get Centennial. Look at it from another view if you are capable of doing so. Let me...

Pass, you are definitely a person who says whats on his/her mind. Not bad advice but Buttercup challeneged you with.....not much. I think your ideas are what I said, "your" ideas, each family is different. Butter you must not have read CenRed post.... I think it was pretty clear about how ...

In D10 Elk River may get a shot in the arm with the few 10 move ups that may or may not make a difference but may not be enough to compete with the Blaines and Andovers of 10. Anoka has a stand out player that will make a difference against weaker teams but will not come out of the D10 pool. Blaine ...
