Thanks much for the explanation and the clever nickname. I'll pass it around to my friends and see if it sticks. Impressive list.

Fact is every team filled with WHL and CHL players so clue us into the reason for the post

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...

Reality check-- St. Louis AAA Blues never played Rosemount. The St Louis team in that tournament isn't even in the same hemisphere. 98 St. Louis AAA Blues are 50-5-6 ranked 4th in the US 98 Colorado Thunderbirds are 44-9-8 ranked 6th CO is 1-1 against Stl this year. Neither team has played any Minn...

and here's a little about the HOW and WHY the AAU got into hockey and how Minnesota Made got involved AAU Site With the remarkable growth of AAU ice hockey at Mites, as well as at the High School level in New York and at Juniors in the western United States, it’s important to note that within some U...

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...

SKMN you have done a great job advertising MM. I didn't know they hired a marketing director. "Bernie wants winter AAA and he will have it" Very passionate. Had it lost it. "Edina MM saviors" and then there is the Super Squirt thread. Well its that time of year to fill all of the...

Edgeless - Let's not talk about this as a PW game. Kudos the MI teams for taking on a dominant 99/00 Edina powerhouse with their 2000's. What's not debatable is we know the smokin hot formerly undefeated 1999/2000 Edina PW team full of AAA battle tested Machine and Blades players competed well with...

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. How do you know the parents accusations have any validity. I doubt you know the coach and his thinking. All your fairy tale story is about a gro...

An upset tonight. Eagan Blue 3 Lakeville South 2 First of all the refs in this game where terrible, Lakeville Souths #8 scored the first goal at the end of the first period. Then Eagan got a goal from the tops of the circles. So back to my point Lakeville got a goal right after that. They called it...

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 ...

Why do so many more europeans play in the NHL than U.S. born players? Their first sport is soccer. You might find the answer to this in the dump and chase thread. Nice post HD10. Just one correction. 2010-11 NHL Players by Birthplace Europe 223 22.8% US 234 23.9% Canada 521 53.3% http://en.wikipedi...

Give the guy a break !! Contruction delays happen everywhere. Temps suck for outdoor ice, mid Dec nobody cares. One thing nice he owns his own rink x 2. I'm sure reschedule is no prob... What are you his mother? Nobody has posted anything negative about it. And since you brought it up, people who a...

Not sure if this is the place to post this .... "Storm Leaves Lasting Impression At World's 11/05/2012, 8:30am CST By Staff Own The Moment Minneapolis Storm Bantam A's leave a lasting impression at Bauer World Hockey Invitation in more ways than one. The Storm tied for first place in pool play...

Yes but I think thumb suckers are allowed. Bernie had a Pee Wee suck his thumb on the ice to discipline him. No joke new guy!

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. It would be an interesting concept to make all the private schools play AA. The competition level in A would be significan...

Biggest concern they are saying? Because there is no checking through PeeWee's, first year Bantams really do not know how to check or have the experience yet and do nor know how to avoid the check when the other player turns to protect himself or the puck exposing his back to the oncoming player. h...

This above statement by IHEA is the definition of arrogance. Buddy, wake up, you make yourself into the fool by throwing out personal insults. There is plenty of discussion here and really all over about youth hockey models in other states and people come to different conclusions than you about the...

I'm with puckhead on this one. 46 skaters is 3 teams. No question. 15 is the ideal number and the B2 or C team gets 16. The President, Squirt coordinator and/or whoever else is involved in this decision is handling it very poorly. 12 is a bad number and hints of selfishness. 13 can be ok for a summ...

Hey I'm a proud Minnesota native, but I'm not impressed with the arrogant, head in the sand, chest thumpers that are clueless about some nice things that are happening in hockey around the country and don't even consider how they can benefit or branch off of our model. Keep the arrogance out of hoc...
