Council Member - Now I know why I don't get my skates sharpened at Hockey Giant!! I had a kid sharpen my skates there and they were worse then when I brought them there. Not saying I was your kid that sharpened them but on the other hand it could have been. Probably a good thing that he moved on to ...

Old Goalie - Based on the resume that you posted on BM he should be sharpening skates at Hockey Giant and driving a taxi. Seems to be doing pretty darn good for such a lousy resume! It really gets old when you sit and try to convince everyone that BM sux. We all know you hate him but at least give h...

JSR - Don't believe everything you read on the calendar. You're getting a small piece of the picture (smoke & mirrors). The bottom line is who really cares, they should just let the team operate out of MN and most of the drama would go away.

GreatOne - I was breaking down your 170 hrs of Blades ice time and its not really adding up. You can really only count 2 weeks for March because association hockey goes through mid March. You have April - June and August and I come up with about 19 weeks. 170 hrs divided by 19 weeks is almost 9 hrs ...

Snowedin - I agree with your comment. I think all AAA programs are going to try to sell you that their program is better then the others. They are going to tell you that all the other programs lie to you and give you false hope. For example, I watched a tryout for the 98 Machine Black at MM and they...

JSR - The Fire mainly practice at MM and play their home games in Sommerset. Royals Dad - If you look at the Machine teams they are essentially the Fire teams with the exception of maybe a few kids for the most part. You are light when you say that 50% of their practices are at MM, I bet it is more ...

Greybeard - The AAA teams are what is actually making the MN kids better. With association hockey getting a good coach is a crap shoot. I'm not saying that all association coaches are bad but I would say that many of them are not qualified. If a kid gets a bad unqualified coach for one season it rea...

Old Goalie - You forgot the part about BM driving a taxi and the fact that he wears 80's vintage Nike tennis shoes too. What the hell does the fact that BM was cut from a JV team have to do with anything??? Wayne Gretzky was the best player to ever play the game and he sucked as a NHL head coach. Wh...

Road Rage - The PW supplemental League is supplemental because there is a lack of ice time available for a full PW league. Why do you think the city of Edina fights MM so hard about allowing BM to put in a 3rd sheet of ice. Can you imagine the haters that would come out of the woodwork if BM got a 3...

mkpfb - I'm talking today not 10 - 20 yrs ago. You are absolutely correct that some of the names on your list have a great track record. It's not a secret that MM trains kids through the PeeWee level and then they will typically move on to other elite teams and or their associations. I guess that I ...

Sinbin - You're right that hockey is getting expensive. There are many good programs like Showcase that are reasonably priced and offer a fun competitive program for kids in the summer. Most associations are trying to keep costs down but unfortunately in this economy I think that some kids are dropp...

Royals Dad - The reason kids go to MM is because they offer a better product then most if not all associations. It's real simple, put out a better product in your association and kids will not have a reason to go elsewhere :D . The real fact is that you know that MM has better training so you want t...

I believe its a question of unethical behavior on the part of D6. Lets be honest here, the rule was put in place to hurt MM. I believe that D6 didn't like the new PeeWee Choice supplemental league. D6 knows that if a player is forced to pick between association hockey and MM PeeWee Choice that they ...

high off the glass - I think you are right about MM running short on cash. I was by there yesterday and someone must have felt sorry for Bernie because they built him a new soccer field on the end of his building with a sprinkler system. Not only that, they built him a million dollar dryland facilit...

I'm not an attorney but I'm guessing that MM can prove that the D6 rule harmed them. How many good hockey players in D6 decided not to take the risk of playing at MM this winter because they feared that they could be kicked off of their association team? This is exactly what the D6 director tried to...
