Re: NTDP Eval Camp

Re: NTDP Eval Camp

I’m about as pro-MN high school hockey as they come, but it’s insane to say everyone who chooses NTDP over MN high school hockey is a moron. Case in point: Luke Carrithers just made NTDP as a goalie. If he stayed in high school at Maple Grove he would have split time on JV as a sophomore this past s...

Re: Moving from AA to A

And teams considering moving down (not electing to opt up) such as Roseau. There is talk in the town of doing that. Roseau no longer fields AA teams at Bantam or Peewee. I believe 2022-23 was first season they dropped down. It is time to make the move at the high school level as well. I don’t see t...

Re: Fluid AA Offseason Rankings: 2024-25

As far as who said I did? You did. You even PM’d me.

Enjoy the game. I’m going to. 😎
Wrong guy. I’ve never private messaged anyone on this site. Don’t even know how to do it.

Re: 2024 AA tourney

Just seed the AA field from top to bottom at end of regular season and throw geography out the window already. Chanhassen and Edina are so much better than the other six teams in the tourney this year. Too many of the state’s top AA programs are all packed in 2-3 sections. Time for change. This is ...

Re: 2024 AA tourney

CDH 100% deserved to win that game. They’ve completely dominated since Centennial took 3-0 lead in 1st period. Were it not for Centennial’s goalie, CDH would have won comfortably. Centennial is one-line team. Not criticizing that, just stating fact. They got to tourney on that one line and power pl...

Oof. If Bumgarner doesn’t make NTDP will he play for a 4th different high school in four years next year? I can’t imagine not even making the section final is what Old Man Bumgarner had in mind when he moved the family to Rogers. Sad.

Aren’t there small parts of Chanhassen in the Minnetonka school district? It does. It dips down into the Lotus Lake and Lake Minnewashta areas for those familiar with the territory.

Re: The Minnetonka Machine, and where they came from

I have been very impressed with Tonka all season and we have all heard stories about where the kids game from, but apparently here are some details. By the "letter of the law", most players started at Tonka High School in 9th grade, however, most did not play for Tonka in the 8th Grade. H...

Re: Games Wednesday 2-14-24

I saw the goals on the NSPN broadcast, but couldn't watch the whole game because I still want to be married. And they were all good goals. MG was just flat footed and HM buried their chances (which isn't really their strength). Game doesn't mean all that much going into sections other than MG knows...

Re: Tonka 18-0 over STMA

In the 80's there were some very lopsided scores between Hill and some of their City Conference opponents. The worst were against Central. It was often 18 to 20 goals for Hill, and Central would either get shut out, or score once or twice. At some point, instead of playing each opponent twice, Hill...

So, this is intriguing. Is this an AD issue, an association issue? It surely is a parent issue to an extent. The logical question is at the youth level, how do you prevent this from happening?

I don’t think it’s time to make huge changes yet. Like was posted earlier it’s always been cyclical. Tonka has some great things happening now and are a heck of a team. I doubt they will win most games in running time for 5 straight years though. I would say that the last team to dominate for a lon...
