The speed of the game at peewees will make it very tough on goalies and defense with out checking. It is part of developing well rounded players. If a kid quits because of checking at bantams it will be very tough for them to pick up another sport for high school as well

Did enjoy the show or aka hot sauce or vanila ice have his suite on for another smack down by jungles Wasn't there to see. Interesting that every time someone wants to attack that man they seem to have orange in there name or something of the like. My understanding is they(jungles and him) seem to ...

Can somebody tell me what's the connection with Andover here.

Having had a kid in the choice league for a couple years, it really, really depends on who your coach (es) is (are). I do like the idea behind it, limited number of drills to prevent subpar free-lance coaching, the longer ice time, etc. One thing I didn't like was, at least at the mite and squirt l...

He is a fire dad. Maybe he could enlighten us on other happenings within the organization. Ha

I have spent a ton of time at MM over the last couple of years and I've seen all sorts of Machine and Fire teams practice. The practices that I saw were run efficiently and at a very high level. The kids I see running around down there are all smiling and sweaty. The parents (easy to pick em out be...

The same guys saying the same old thing, how much they hate Bernie and Minnesota Made. How bad Minnesota Made is for Minnesota Hockey. The Blades are good and the Machine is bad. If you are new or uninitiated and if you spend anytime read this blog, it will become very clear. It is something that y...

I stopped into see the tryouts. The information give about Machine players was not accurate. There where two former Torspo players that tryout, but no current Machine players are skating. Sounds like after getting calls from machine parents/coaches they choose not to. It's too bad. I'm glad you too...

Kudos to the 2 01 machine families that decided to call the bluff. It'll be interesting to see if a few more jump in for tomorrows try out now.

Eden Prairie Vs. Edina

I may make a trip down for this one. Anyone want to tailgate ???

That's a ways to drive from Princeton or elk river. You must really be a fan of squirt hockey!!

Relax folks. This is just another tournament for 9-10 year olds. Why this tournament is supposed to be better than any other out there is a mystery. At the end of the day you still have a bunch of 9-10 year olds out there trying to take it coast to coast far more often than they pass. Kudos to the ...

If you look back hot sauce said he had a 01 Monoply player? Like i said earlier its not Blades or Machine parents..It's wanna be Blades parents!! In regards to my credibility: when i said here say I poking fun at your challenges at spelling. hear·say [heer-sey] –noun 1. unverified, unofficial infor...

Do you really think 01 parents sit around and "think" I wish my 01 was able to drink orange koo-aid. The fact is the 01 Blades with 4 or 5 kids from other non-made programs will be just fine, would they be better with the machine kids? YES, but we will never know will we. Why?? That's my ...

HD 41, That is probably the single most accurate, articulate post I have ever read on this board. Well said. It seems to me that we build these events up way too big for the kids at this age. Don't get me wrong, the Brick sounds like fun, and I understand why people want to go. But there is a dange...

I just received news from someone close to Bernie and Minnesota Made, that they have a purchase agreement on a building in the Maple Grove area. This building has enough clear span for two full size ice sheets. If the financing goes through they will start the build out this spring and open next Oc...

What many of you do not realize is that those of us who have spent upwards of 30 years in the game of hockey laugh at all of you. Yes, we point at you at the rink and laugh because you are the people that do not understand what is really going on. You are the people complaining that tryouts are fla...

My son went there with a friend and said it was good. He normally goes to competitive edge whichnis at hat trick now. He said he still likes the wheel and competitive edge way more. I think the combination of ice, the fly wheel, and a straight ahead treadmill, along with everything else there is tou...

did you ever follow through with the leg work. What did you find out? What association were these. I'd like to see how their winter goes with these coaches

I would suspect the associations went through a hiring process. If these associations were able to get non parents that are motivated enough to coach squirts that's great. Are these teams in your district or what is your motivation to do "leg work" to check on other associations? If you ha...
