Maybe if you managed a WHL team your "little" guy could have been drafted. 11 WHL Bantam draftees with MN ties ('99 birth year) 75th Austin, Pratt Centre Lakeville, MN Shattuck Bantam 1999-07-30 81st Kyler Yeo Forward Hill-Murray HS 1999-03-11 (Mike Yeo's son) 87th Scott Reedy Centre Prior...

Looks like Yuri is doing a great job at the 99 level, they just cracked the top 50.

Do the Blades U16 only have 98 birth years on it and that`s why they are considered Midget Minor? I thought U16 teams were considered Midget Major, because they have 97 and 98 birth years.

If the prefential route for a Minnesota kid is the NCAA, then why did the Gophers only have 1 SENIOR this year, where did the others go in that recruiting class and why did they leave?

The leading scorer and mvp is a smurf, if he were even 5' 10' he'd be a first rounder. 5" 7" is being generous. If you watched game 7 between LA and the Sharks last night there is no need to explain any further. If he somehow manages to keep putting up crazy numbers he'll get his chance. ...

You are right scorekeep, and that reason is they have the luxury of getting first crack at the top players in the best hockey player producing country on the planet. Its the Canadian system, its what they know and expect and it obviously works for them. Sweden and Finland have hockey academies wher...

Yuri has alot of clought and will have a good schedule with success, the first year will have alot of ups and downs but he is the best guy for the coaching job.

People, in 10 years the US will roll Canada regularly. It's started already. The 10th largest city in Canada has 400,000 people. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_100_largest_urban_areas_in_Canada_by_population The 40th largest city is the US is the same size http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lis...

There is nothing worse than using the excuse that their role is not to score or produce points, really? So when they hit the ice on the 4th line the coach says "whatever you do just check but dont score". Ok, so they can handle the Mike Rupp role, great. Of course they are still young pla...

These kids are some of the youngest players in the league and on the Winterhawks. Lets have some perspective, they are 96s. Get your head out of the college sand.

Where did you get draft from then? Its a camp to evaluate kids that have the potential to play in the USHL, all the teams will have reps there watching. If the acorn doesn`t fall far from the tree maybe you should look at CHL.

Well I am not sure if was a specific call, but just an email. I was filling it out and got to the end thinking alright a road trip and a couple nights in a hotel, then get sent to the payment page..... Almost 400.00. Politely responded no thanks. Seems a bit pricey for the number of skaters. I thin...

Ah yes, 2112, I think I know who you are hiding behind that number. The price was just right for the five games this summer. Zero $$ The fact you don't like it...effin priceless!! That`s what summer is all about, playing on different teams meeting new kids. Your son must be lighting up the spring t...

Have it and worth it are not mutually exclusive for me. Same answer. Now, if I had the $$ would it be worth it? For me, it would depend on how much my kid wanted that type of commitment. I have one kid who decided he wanted to be a hockey player at age 15. This would not have been for him. I got an...

Am I seeing this correctly that a group of 8-9 year olds are going to Detroit to play hockey. Why? We have loads of arena's and stupid AAA tournaments in this state. Parents...I honestly don't get them. That's what has ruined AAA hockey. The kids would have fun if they played in a tournament in gle...

Maybe YHH will have the top AAA player at each level and Freddie could do a top 50 list, and they could post a picture of them playing hockey in the winter. That might get some traffic for you.

Looked like two little weenie sissies to me. There are 1000 players that would pound either one of these posers.

So says another Keyboard Cowboy!

Seems to be a trend of Mn SSM players coming back (a few this year) to high school Hockey. Now I'm hearing as many as five from their various SSM teams might be coming back. Did the two losses to our high school teams change their minds on prep school Hockey and the level of MHSL competition? I was...

Ever stop to consider that maybe Besse was sick? He sure didn't look like the same player that I've seen all season. Some of you are so quick to jump all over people and call them classless without knowing the facts. Congratulations Wayzata, you were the better team last night. He didn't congratula...

I'm torn on how I think Edina will do. Half of me says they should go 3-0. They do have quite a few older players and that age it does make a difference. They certainly are a talented bunch. The other half tells me they are going to be in for some battles they haven't really experienced. The teams ...

I thought associations only got mad at extra ice time when it occurred at the made, was your son on the new outdoor rink. If so, expect more abuse.

When will Mn Made try to catch up to Northern Edge/Reebok Nats/Acheiver. Bubba played for Bernie [99 fire] but found greener grass with yuro/woodcroft program. Will the "made" open a school next year ??? I see no threat to Mn highschool as we know it, alot of kids want to play football/ba...

These kids were and are great, because they are talented. Associations, private lessons, camps etc. all made them better. They all do have talent and determination. But the reason they are able to make the impact that they have at HS, Tier 1, Jrs. is because of the hand skills they learned from him...

Tony, if you are so outraged man up and tell us who the coaches are and what team they are associated with.You are taking the easy way out by not identifying who you are talking about. You making a big deal out of nothing, but it get traffic to your website, i got suckered. Olgie, alot of truth to y...

There are no skaters ranked A at the high school or tier 1 level anywhere in the US in that preliminary scouting report. None. SSM has high visibility nationally, not to mention the promising kids of high-profile NHL alumni. For a school that charges $40K per year tuition, they darn well better be ...
