The whole small school enrollment thing is tired. Some examples that all the people from small schools need to remember: Roseau (AA) - 374 Warroad - 318 Breck - 398 So let's just drop that. There are all sorts of examples of smaller schools that produce fantastic sports teams from time to time. Rose...

Re: Remaining posotive

The NAHL is the highest level of hockey in the state other than d-1 college and the Wild people should come most ppl have never seen an nahl game I'd argue that some D3 teams are playing at a higher level too. (St. Olaf, for example) There is no way that a team from the NA would beat any team from ...

Owatonna & Albert Lea did not have Top 10 teams. I'm calling BS on that. I don't recall seeing the rankings back then (does anybody know where to find them??), but I think the Pete McEnaney led Owatonna Indians were the top seed in section 1 in 1983. They were upset by Red Wing who was then beaten ...

"Cheap Players" Update from Years Ago

A little update on hot topic that was on this forum some 5 years or so ago. I always wondered how this particular hockey career would turn out. Well, here's a link to the thread from way back when, along with a link to a story that was just published today. http://www.juniorhockey.com/news/news_deta...

Looks like the Albert Lea Carlson kid might have made the jump to early or to high of a level. I have seen this kid play a few times and he has good talent. He's way to good for Albert Lea , but in my OPINION he would benefit more in the long run from playing at the AAA , MJHL or NAHL3 level his fi...

So just so I have this straight... The NA is watered down, so somebody shouldn't skip their senior year to do it. Instead, they should go play a year of AAA (to the tune of $7k or so) to hone their skills. I just have to ask... where are all those players that are playing in the watered down NA comi...

I'm assuming that if he's bantam eligible he's a young 96. My advice is to pick a community that you like, have your son tryout for bantams in that community, and make a home for yourself and enjoy the ride. It's over way too quick. Seriously, if you are basing your decision on hockey, that's the wr...

If the league posted how many spots were actually available, I would be willing to bet that there would be a lot of kids & their families that would find something better to do with their tryout fee. For instance, if I was a forward from the southern part of the state (metro & south), I would look a...
