Anyone know anything about the Wayzta PWA goalie? There team has been in the top 10 all year and they came out #1 in D3.<br><br>Of course Ford and McNealy - They are studs in the net. <p></p><i></i>

So are coaches egos really that big that putting a lid on will keep them from teaching the game? Last as the kids who where on the ice 2 years ago what they think after watching there coach on the ice. Or the Mites this year that watched their coach get air lifted from a rink.<br><br>This has more t...

The people that go out an evaluate do it for free. They are out there for the love of the game! They may get their gas money back but it is all done for free. $20 an hour? Do you think that there is that much money in Minnesota Hockey to have these guys out every night making that?<br><br>I agree wi...

Why do we call this AAA. Then Minnesota teams can travel to MI and play there AAA teams, right?<br><br>Accept everyone forgets that the little caesars team that they are playing is a B team. The real players from that team are at power skating camps and skills camps become real hockey players while ...

There are problems putting an "experenced" ref out with a new ref. The first is that at the Bant. level you have 1 ref calling penalties and the other 2 working the lines. There is not really a way to have someone follow the ref around on the ice and watch him.<br><br>At the PeeWee and bel...

Every one hates Edina's. Unless you played at Edina.<br><br>I hate Edina's Jerseys<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :x --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/sick.gif ALT=":x"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :x --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/s...

you don't have to have cones out at practice. I think that 30-45 minutes of all practices should be spent competing (racing 2v3, 3v3 and so on). Kids get more out of it and become better players. Coaches have this idea that they have to continue to develop a system and go over it again and again. Ki...

You are right about being sour. With two weeks left in this season I can't wait till it's over. The stress of dealing with parents (who all know better) has crushed my desire to coach. However, there is no way that I would quit on kids. The refs that are getting ripped on out here are the kind of pe...

The Chaska/Jefferson and EP/Edina was the PWAs <p></p><i></i>

First off I am not a ref. I coach. Second do you know how to spot an evaluator at a game? I am gussing that you don't. But let me tell you how it works:<br><br>The evaluator either meets with the refs before the game or just sits in the stands. He is by himself with 2 or 3 sheets of paper writing no...

I am going to go back to what I said a week ago. Since you all think that the refs are so bad why are you not out there doing a better job? Or are you just that chicken... and you have to hide behind screennames and say refs suck.<br><br>Who is going to pay evaluators to go out and watch refs every ...

Parents don't like this cause the don't get to see Billy and Mikey and Suzy out with there over priced sweaters on playing a team from another city so they can blame the refs when they lose. They like to see there kids in $100 warmup jackets.<br><br>The biggest problem is that to many people beleive...

The kid may be good but you can't base your opinion of a goalie on one game that he played not matter what he did. Sure a goalie could step up a level and have one game. You still need consistancy. After all, the sun shines on a dogs... every now and then! <p></p><i></i>

I don't think that Ford has had any bad games. EP never had more then 3 goals scored agains them and that only happened like 5 out of there 40 some games. That's consistancy <p></p><i></i>

Chaska beat Jefferson 4-3 in double overtime and the same night EP beat Edina 4-3 in triple OT. Can't get a much better night of hockey then that! <p></p><i></i>

The goalie from Edina has the USA helmet. Did he play against EP? <p></p><i></i>

If it was the goalie with the USA helmet from EP then they where not switching off cause he played against Chaska as well. <p></p><i></i>

Don't get me wrong the kid is great, but he is great becasue of his size. There comes a point when you can't rely on the size any more and that comes in the next 2 years when kids develop shots and learn to find holes. He may get even better which is nuts. I have seen him play 3 times and I know he ...

The kid from Lakeville South (although I think it will change when he moves up, too many rebounds).<br><br>The Ford kid from EP. When you see the best shots every day in practice you will become much better. He is a stud right now and the reason why this team will win state.<br><br>The LaPrade kid f...

There was only 3 teams in D6 that played goalies evenly last week. Tonka (2 and out), Burnsville (2 and out) and Edina. That leaves Jefferson, Chaska, EP using one goalie. If there is that much of a diffrence in goalies such as at Chaska and Jefferson are you going to put the hopes of the other 15 k...

I am going to take the 05-06 EP team. I don't know if this team can be stopped. God I hate EP!<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START >: --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/mad.gif ALT=">:"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

It goes back to the problem with youth hockey. We want to see Billy compete instead of practice so you have 30-40 league games in the metro area ever night. That is about 90 refs if you count batams and juniors with 3 on the ice. Do you think that there are that many good refs in the state. How long...

So you have all cried about how bad the refs are in your district. So let's all go sit for 4 hours in the meetings next year and we can ref. I am sure that we can all do better then what is out there now...<br><br>Oh, that's right, we want to complain about it instead of do it ourselfs. It's the Ame...

I can tell you that from what I have seen they play all three lines. As far as the goalies I can't tell you but the one that I saw play was very strong. <p></p><i></i>
