Agree HF, It's a guideline to help throw out bad coaching that focuses on game play for young players and get coaches to think outside the box. There are some coaches have always been doing things to produce skills but most are too wrapped up in teaching game concepts (16 year old practices for 6 ye...

From what I see, ADM has been put in place as a guideline to help improve training. Lots of ideas and concepts aimed to foster new thinking. 8 year olds working on positioning and shooting during practice? That's the kind of brain dead thinking that ADM is trying to combat. How about high repetition...

I believe St. Louis is not in the WHL territory or half their team (Jr. Blues) would be in that top 40 list. Logan Brown, Ty Farmer, Zach Solow, Woll, and the list goes on with that team. This team did not play Rosemount and if it did, double digit beat down would have happened. St. Louis Selects i...

Elliott, any idea who is the driving force? Some of the people that have sought out AAU are actually one-time USA Hockey (or affiliate) leaders that see it as an easier way to do what they want. Others are anti-establishment guys from the outside that have been challenging status quo. It's interest...

BS, the parents want their kid to be in the spotlight! Maybe the parents should use this as a life long lesson, instead of making the coach the scapegoat.

Different strokes for different folks. Coaches do all kinds of things whether you agree with them or not. Some yell, some don't, some work the refs, some play head games with their players or the other coaches, and so on. JSR is right on. Why this would baffle you is ironic. While I don't subscribe ...

They are considering a separate State Tournament for all Private Schools in 2014. Won't happen. They'll make all private schools play AA before that happens. 8) Not a bad idea.

Biggest concern they are saying?
