That would be huge news. Not that they’ve had trouble recruiting great players, but with Guentzel as head coach they could absolutely unseat Hill Murray as the premier private in the east metro.

Edina will always have a handful of D1 caliber players on every team. With the sheer numbers in their youth program and former professional and D1 players who choose to live there it’s always likely they’ll have very talented and well coached players. But like an earlier poster said, a well rounded ...

Superstar touting his nephew in his 1st post in years - Miss those posts touting the EP/HF Goalie While some say Lacombe "didn't give up", he did. Got cut, quit, and Dad found another place to play. He's the next Bellows- at best Look at it how you want. I see it as he got cut, thought he...

Honestly I think it is dumb that you have to play multiple years of juniors to play D3 hockey. NCAA D3 should make a freshman age limit of 19. You've just taken away the incentive for a kid not Div. I committed upon completion of HS to even try to get there. I fail to see what is so evil about a ki...

Didn’t the Vanelli’s have some kids/nephews as assistant or JV coaches? I wonder if they’ll take over?

And he just committed to ASU. No idea on why he wasn’t invited to this camp. Are you sure he was eligible by age?

Boucha only played in one tournament, also. Fair point, but Boucha is like a living folk hero in MN HS hockey. So is it more than tournament play? Being a legend outside the tournament counts? I don't get it. What McDonough did outside the tournament doesn't count, but what Boucha means outside of ...

Count me as on board with this idea. Whether anything like this would ever happen remains to be seen, but it’d be a really fun format.

Willard Ikola - Coach Greg Stuttgart - Goalie Ryan McDonagh - Defense Henry Boucha - Defense Mike Antonovich - Forward Dave Spehar - Forward John Mayasich - Forward Can’t argue with any of the picks except one, in my opinion. Did McDonagh’s parents have a vote? 1 tourney and 5 total points? Can’t s...

Per Youth Hockey Hub, Matt Doman has resigned from Stillwater.

Not sure why STA never plays Eagan during the regular season. Playing against several of the single A teams in their conference only inflates the skaters stats and doesn't do anything for either team. One can argue STA really hasn't had much competition during their run of 17 consecutive wins. Not ...

Eagan’s top line can skate, and score, with anyone. But STA’s a much deeper team. With STA having the last change I expect they’ll try to exploit some mis-matches and will come out on top. I like to root for the underdogs, so my heart is with the Wildcats, but my head says 4-1 Cadets.

Part of the beauty of the tournament is there are only 8 teams, that the Friday semifinals are sometimes the best hockey you're ever going to witness locally at any level, and the section tournaments are full of angst because it's so difficult in many sections to put it altogether for 3 wins and ma...

In my lifetime it’s Saterdalen and Crowley, hands down. There were tons of great players in the Jags dynasty but Crowley was their GOAT.

Congrats to Jonny! Looking forward to seeing him in the maroon and gold!

Where was Hale playing this year prior to joining the Magicians? Toiled his way around USHL after leaving Mpls early. 4th line and healthy scratch in Dubuque and Sioux City (might be missing one in between) for most of last season and a half. Good to see he’s found a spot. That’s the risk of leavin...

Chaska just beat Edina 4-3, safe to say they’re now clicking.

As Kurt Russell said in Miracle, I’m not looking for the best players, I’m looking for the right players. Is it possible that even with all their D1 talent, during their rough stretch, Chaska just wasn’t playing a good team game? It sounds like they shuffled their lines around and have really been c...

As a youth coach who’s never snapped my chin strap while on the ice during practices, I will begin doing it every time starting today. This is tragic and could’ve happened to anyone. Thoughts and prayers are with Harv’s family and friends.

Haven’t yet seen him play in HS, but he was a heck of a bantam player last year. Congrats and good luck!

Much like Sammy Walker last year, if Brodzinski can approach 60 points I see him winning Mr Hockey. Looking at Blaine’s schedule, they’ve got a gauntlet featuring MG, Elk, and Andover twice, DE, EP, WBL, and HM. If he puts up 60 with that schedule he should win it - unless another player puts togeth...

That parent also said that the U decommitted somewhere along the lines of 8 to 10 kids in the last month. 8 to 10? Really? Exiled - Was his loyalty questioned before he left SCSU? If not why should it be considered a long term issue? Fact is he inherited a terrible roster and some recruits that don...
