Had a great time at the 2000 Hockey Hall of Fame tournament

It was a great tournament, nothing fancy, pretty laid back but still very competitive and very enjoyable. My son played on the 3rd place 'pick-up' Iron Range Moose team that introduced themselves to each other in the locker room before the game! They had a great time, made some new friends and it wa...

Thanks everyone for your insight. I at first was totally - we have to have bantams; but now can see that unfortunately I just don't think it is going to be possible. Numbers are everything! Everything that was said here was spot on! Now if we can only get our board to understand these important thin...

Would love to see some defense camps in northern Minnesota (Duluth, Iron Range, etc.). The only one we've had up here was Mitch Korn Camp (goalie & defensemen camp). It was good but would like to see a d-camp with a little more one on one instruction and a little more individualized evalutation/...

Having Bantam team and no JV team - good idea or not?

Hi everyone, our association in northern Minnesota is considering starting a bantam team again (we are currently without) and in the process of doing this, it would eliminate our jv team. Numbers are and have been very low, but because of no checking in peewees, our peewees are going straight to JV ...
