Correction, Grant Clafton played college for St. Cloud Huskies. Clafton is the right man for the job long term no doubt about it.

Doh! Yep, sorry, I think had Marinucci's college stuck in my head.

I can tell you from direct experience with a similar situation. A interim head coach could set the program back. If there is an opportunity to simply make a hire, that would be ideal. If the guy you want is available, then yes absolutely hire him. However, if the guy you want (long-term) is in a he...

We're just over two weeks away from the beginning of the season. I highly doubt Rapids will hire a permanent replacement, more likely due to the timing they will name an interim for this season and plan to do the full interview process in the Spring. If they want the best possible candidate then tha...

Not sure but maybe this thread should be moved to the Junior Forum. Not much activity there so I like it on this one though. GB

Some of the kids listed are still HS aged, so it does have some relevance to the HS hockey landscape.

Confirming early posts that Humphrey will join
Michaelis as Elk early depart

WM - hearing rumblings that Michaelis and Humphrey may have had a change of heart. I don't see Michaelis on Waterloo roster. Humphrey on SC Blizzard roster, but could be doing before/after. Have you heard anything?

Attempting to get confirmation of info from a usually reliable source of an unexpected potential early depart with top 10 implications

What region of the metro?

Top 10 AA or A?

Thanks for bringing all of this to the MH Board and for the feedback. Much appreciated!

DeKanick:
St Franny to NorthBranch(‘skol..’)

Looks like he played 1 game as a Junior last year?

18 games as a Soph. Injured last year maybe?

Wasn't his dad the head coach at St. Francis at one time?

Hill-Murray has basically run their JV program as a Bantam team the past few years, with much of the roster filled with 8th and 9th graders. It hasn’t really translated to major success at the varsity level yet, but it is definitely a unique approach, seemingly wanting to get kids into their system...

Back to Hockey Top 10 Forwards Top 6 D Top 5 Goalies? I'll take a stab at this (no particular order): F: Kron(Andover), Thoreson(Andover), Jones(Andover), Galatz (CEC), Moore(CEC), Hoops(DE), Erickson(DE), Demars(GR), Bischoff(GR), Delgreco(GR) D: Kaiser(Andover), Wolfe(Andover), Peart(GR), Young(G...

This isn't quite accurate, look a little deeper and you might find a couple more.... I was only accounting for kids who left early to play juniors, not kids who left for Jr Gold, moved out of Elk River, or quit playing hockey. Ok, still not accurate..... Huh, okay. I'll take your word for it. I tho...

That’s too bad. What kind of team the Elks going to have this year? 5-8 seed or possible 3/4 seed. How was the kids leaving early numbers before the latest coach took over. In this three years as head coach Gustafson hasn't lost kids early at any higher rate than Roberts did before him. In Gordie's...

Appears Totino is getting a freshman goalie that played the last couple years with Gentry's '04 team. Probably not any varsity impact this year, but the Eagles have a good goalie for the future.

Very doubtful that either Michaelis or Humphrey are with the Elks this winter.

Wait until Marshall drops to A. They’ll put Centennial or Blaine in 7AA. I hope it’s Blaine. I wonder if Blaine would put CEC or Grand Rapids on their schedule. 7AA is wacko metro 7AA squads don’t schedule north 7AA squads. Duluth East plays Andover. Nobody else does in the north 7AA. DEast and Elk...

Every thing sent to me on here is now on the agenda for the district directors meeting in September. All directors have been copied on these requests. Thank you! I'd be really interested to hear the discussions on guidelines for team declarations and what to do with the B levels. Unfortunately a tr...

Agreed. 7AA is has more single A programs that want to play with the big boys....... Isn't there only 2 programs that actually opt up in 7AA? Duluth Marshall CEC St. Francis Grand Rapids Duluth East ......could all legally play in single A I believe St. Francis is moving to single A next year.

Above is about as full of false facts as I have seen. Incoming sophomore class is one of the largest in years. Last years sophomore class was one of the smallest in years, but that age group has been small since those players were mites. That's completely inaccurate. Last years sophomore class (202...

Interesting move geographically: Heard on the Holiday up in Grand :| Rapids that there is a move in from Elk River- will be a Senior. Was told he saw some varsity action last season as a junior in ER. I think every junior in the program saw some Varsity time last year in ER. Numbers are down for th...

900 or so kids. And how many registered players in MN, mites thru Bantams? What percentage of the membership are we changing rules for?

The transfer I’ve been mentioning above has been confirmed. Not sure how widely known . Type of thing you want the family or team to announce, or someone who follows the home team for the Forum will know the right time better than me . Imho , it’s big . Urge the 6 posters who were following my stor...
