Good listen! Just one correction: HS rosters are technically finalized Jan 1st, so well after the board mtg. Of course, when talking about cutting players from JV, that obviously happens one week after tryouts.

Still nothing from a certain RW in the SW suburbs with a lethal wrist shot and that’s about it, who was assumed by most of “the bored” to be the next big commit two years ago? And who I was bashed for saying he wouldn’t be?

Thanks 62. So Sawchyn is playing U16?

Correct. One of a handful of 05s on U16 club. Between him, Whitelaw on Prep, and Woodbury’s Henricks they have a really solid crew of 05s. Obviously many others too.

Yeah , Don’t know what happened with SSM. Would also be interested to know if their bantam team played at Brooklyn Park , have heard that team is absolutely loaded , including Brodie Ziemer Covid. No need to talk any further about it and lock this thread down. Hopefully they will be back and ready ...

3 isn’t a ton, The ripple effects will be huge. Springfield Blues also announced they are taking the season off. So 3 NAHL & 2 USHL teams for a total of over 100 players not on no-tuition teams. Since HS players are the younger ones it is those kids at risk for not sticking. This is true, but on th...

After two USHL teams declare they are taking the 2020-2021 season off, every other USHL team receives about 3 new players who would have been on a USHL roster this year. 3 isn’t a ton, but could certainly have a trickle effect on some bubble players hoping to make the early jump this year.

Hearing the Lightning Rod program in SW metro has lost at least 2 to Junior’s added an East Coast 12th Grader. Oh the drama! :) EP or Chaska? Didn’t think of Chaska as lightning rod program but I know they’ve lost one or two to juniors this summer and I haven’t yet heard confirmation EP had. Just t...

Benilde 20-21 Schedule Grand Rapids @ CDH @STA Hermantown @Edina Holy Angels Wayzata @Holy Family Rogers Lakeville South Minnetonka Hill Murray Moorhead STMA Chaska Jefferson @Blake StLP Kennedy @Eden Prairie @Jefferson Chaska @Chanhassen @Champlin Park @StLP 15 H and 9 A? Maybe that's not unusual ...

Yeah they load up because why not? At least one or two practice goalies but then if they want they can give them games in NA3HL or U18 AAA leagues. NAHL has a great history of developing high end goalies but unfortunately they have a long list of goalies who have been buried on the rosters.

With the USHL/NAHL drafts now completed, it seems to be another decent year for MNHS goalies moving on to juniors. Too early to tell on how it'll all shake out, but by my count we have the following (apologies if I missed any): Pinney - tendered to St Cloud of NAHL Hodges - drafted by Austin in NAH...

Fun podcast. Great to hear all three of them discuss HS Hockey again. Towards the end when they discussed how USHL is not just a given for many of these high school players, it reminded me of something else. If there is no college hockey season or it is severely diminished, there are theoretically s...

Agree with BB. PL made a heckof a run late last year. Tonka- Im assuming Hendy and Hupka will skate varsity to bolster the solid returning core EP- MSHSL decision will impact which of the returning D1 kids if any might be early departs Chaska- Hurt by early departure of Snugs to NTDP. Hearing star ...

Minnetonka has the benefit of great depth and a lack of super high end guys that are flight risks. Big question mark is goaltending. PL similar story but with two very high end goalies. EP is the opposite. Lots of potential for guys who are doing before/after to pull a Bobby Brink/Blake McLaughlin a...

WOM: The reason people aren’t answering your questions is because they have already been discussed several times in several threads. Your questions #1 (myocarditis) and #2 (children spreading vs not spreading) are both far from settled science and we have discussed on numerous occasions each of thes...

For anyone who says we can’t fully return to normal until we develop a vaccine, we need to keep in mind that there is a real chance that day never comes. We’ve never developed a successful vaccine for a coronavirus. If that’s the case it’s not reasonable to expect society to just hole up forever. P...

Oh yes and to your question that nobody has answered yet about the number of preventable deaths that we are willing to accept, I think a fair answer would be: roughly the same number of “excess deaths” for medical related issues and excess serious health conditions compared to what we see in a norm...

Wise Old Man, without forcing you into another novel, I just want to bring up that many doctors can’t even agree on the so called “facts” that you allude to being on your side. KFAN bumper to bumper show has a regular doctor from Mayo and he and another doctor they had on previously both stated that...

Wise Old Man, regarding coaching levels, I think but I’m not positive that they recently did away with the level requirements for older ages. So a level 1 can coach mites or can coach bantams. Somebody correct me if I’m wrong there.

To clarify....after re-reading my post, it's obvious some of you will accuse me of talking out of both sides of my mouth as I first stated that MH wouldn't allow for the formation of U-16/18 Tier I/II teams but, then later saying that there could be some positives moving forward if we eliminated hi...

If you wanted to keep the same coaching staffs, one major hurdle would be that many high school coaches are not USA Hockey certified, which they would need to be, and who knows if there are any certification classes happening right now? Maybe online only? The other major piece would be funding and ...

BB, is Minnetonka having two JV teams again this year?

So what you guys are saying is” give me high school hockey or I’ll take my kid elsewhere”? Very mature. You guys were the kids who said I quit and took the ball home with you so no one else could play! MSHSL should not make decisions based on others decision to not follow the rules or put their kid...

Chaska’s Sam Scheetz may someday be in the running for the fastest player in the state?

Slightly different style, but reminds me of former Chaska forward Rhett Pitlick.

My first thought was Oliver Moore?

That would be a good comparison for a fellow 05.
