What JSR said, x 1000. My kid soars when she can get her groove on and score once in a blue moonl. But when she's in the bottom of the heap, she gets Eyore-like and thinks she is the worst player in the world. I hate to throw this in there, too, but it can also depend on the team. One team might rea...

All so excellent. This is important stuff.

Well-written, non-whiny, a very tough hockey player and person. Can't wait for her next post.

Thanks, grey.

Good news for the future of the growth of girls hockey in Minnesota: After tryouts this past month, two Machine teams were created - Orange and Black - for the '06s. (Last year there was only Orange '06.) Say what you will about the Made and Bernie just wanting the checkbook parents to join up, yada...

That's sick and wrong.

I couldn't disagree more. If us as parents are trying to blame "video games" as the root of all evil then shame on us. Everything in moderation is just fine. I'm sure our parents yelled at us when we watched 3 hours of tv or listened to the whole Led Zeppelin album from start to finish ve...

Hello all: Doing a little brainstorming here in anticipation of 2016 (I know, I know). For all of you who have had kids do skating / skills clinics in the summer, which have you found to be the most useful? Value for money, quality of the coaching, etc. My hope is to just pick one camp for her for ...

USA and MN hockey know this and instead of telling mom and dad to get out of the locker room and stay away from the practice rink and treat the game as just another way to sneak a peek at your buddies hot wife, they just keep saying play other sports. What they mean is we hope your kid can find a s...

Latest LPH has good article "Girls Hockey needs help from within". http://www.letsplayhockey.com/online-edition/news/2204-girls-hockey-needs-help-from-within.html Best article I've read in LPH in a long, long time. BRAVO! Best point was to stop comparing it to the Boys tourney. Until we s...

I don't think all girls think of it as social - I've heard this before. My daughter is on a boys team (they are also her buddies at school) and they are young enough to hang out w/o it being "weird" - and they do at school - and she does with her girlfriends, too. But she doesn't see it ho...

My goodness gracious, I love this state.

I didn't mean better humans. I just meant more skilled, adept, proficient.


Semantics.


Minneapolis Storm has different colors at different levels within age groups.

4 on 4 half ice no goalies at mites and 8u have so drastically reduced development at those levels that if I had another kid coming up I wouldn't even bother. No skating, no passing, no learning positions. An 8 kid cluster f***. HEAR, HEAR! Ringettes and soccer balls on the ice are an insult, event...

Hi Ya all - Jersey time. What are the color-levels in Edina, i.e. who is the top of the heap color-wise? Green? White? Black? I think I've seen yellow sometimes? Also, do other schools have multiple colors for their A & B teams? I know our local association different color jerseys for levels, bu...

I ask why not? Exactly. Because they aren't become NHL stars? I'm sick of hearing that one. Gimme another one. And you can't give me "speed" or "strength" either, because if that were the case none of us would be watching youth hockey - we'd be watching college or the pros. It's...

Doesn't appear there is much interest in this topic. Anybody else notice that FSN wouldn't even put a girls game on TV during HDM, at a time that was watchable at all. Pitiful statement about the value of girls hockey in Minnesota. Oh, they did put one on t.v. This says it all: The University of Mi...

In reality she probably took a spot from a boy that likes to play hockey but doesn't have any real passion for it and will never play after HS. You're brilliant, Bluehawk. She'll probably take the puck from him with a filthy dangle, too. Even with half the ice time as the boys, the girls STILL dese...

I'm starting this string after posting a positive reply to the long slam on Edina's Girls program in an earlier string. Another reader suggested I start a new string as many others had probably had the same experience with their own associations and could probably relate to their daughter('s') exper...

Starting a new thread, Never...

At least the Girls' Program is taken seriously in Edina. We just had to switch our daughter from the Girls program in her association (in an unmentionable very large nearby city adjoining Edina) because that association just doesn't put the resources into its Girls program - even though they promote...

I know the family and what the Star Tribune editors so carefully decided to leave out was that their daughter takes a lot of breaks - long breaks in the summer and winter, also plays tennis and swims, and now wants to learn golf. They also decided to pick the busiest week of the four months they had...
