Re: 2022-23 Early Departures

Looking at myhockeyrankings - it looks like their first weekend of games were in the Blades Showcase and they played the MN Blades once and lost 4-1, assuming with open net goal so 3-1 - not sure that's getting destroyed. They have beat Blue Army twice and Team MN (old blizzard group) and lost to th...

Re: 2022-23 Transfers

Haven't seen any goalie transfers to Chaska - with the 2 early goalie departures - there is a wide open net there for someone to go after and get an opportunity to have their own net.

Re: 2022-23 Early Departures

With the 2 - goalie early departures - Chaska has a big opportunity for starting goalie - like a full season as a starter, it will be interesting to see if a #2 somewhere wants a full time #1 net.

Re: 2022-23 Early Departures

Is the Chaska dad the one who had a Bantam AA goalie last year and decided to move to juniors in Iowa to get more games, or are we talking about another kid? I do not have a goalie, but I do understand the need to get more games -- WIth the HS league at 25, and odds are good the top goalie will get...

Re: 2022-23 Early Departures

It wasn't just the goalie parents that had issues with the coaching staff and a lot of raised eyebrows on them adding a player's father to the staff. With some top end players departing, it appears we will be 2nd fiddle to a very good Chan for the 1st time in years Yea - From the rumblings I heard ...

Re: 2022-23 Early Departures

I recall the other goalie who played on their super bantam team then played with the Gamblers Jrs , and is now enrolled at Minnetonka HS, is that correct ? No fault of the coaching staff either. If you are actually involved in this program, which I’m sure you are, you would know this is absolutely ...

Correct - basically no goalies currently at Chaska HS. No fault of the coaching staff either.

Re: MN HP Spring and Tier 1

My only thought on the date continuing to be pushed up - is they are trying to bolster the fall Tier 1 to better represent at the national tournament in the Spring that they go to - which has been a joke for several years. The $100 money grab is real for sure - There are 60 - 06' skaters and 17 goal...

MN HP Spring and Tier 1

MN HP - Just saw the Sect 2/6 HP18 and HPSr. Team - Some interesting selections - This is a no tryout process and kids that have never made a Spring HP Team in a tryout format are now on the Teams. It's evident that if your HS program is involved you get kids on these teams. I wonder if it's like th...

Points are not everything but seems max Plante kinda deserves to be on that team.

Re: 2022 UMHSEL Thread

Agreed with what you said, I don’t think Max is ready to play at that level like Zam was as a sophomore. Definitely more deserving juniors or seniors, but having him on the team gets his dad (a UMD coach) in the building, allowing the EL to keep the claim they have scouts and college coaches in the...

Re: 2022 UMHSEL Thread

Just dawned on me that the Plante listed on Kowalski's is Max ('06) and not Zam. Seriously? Was there a requirement that a Plante be on the team? I find it hard to believe that there wasn't a more deserving junior or senior who could be playing in the league while the '06 plays Tier 1 for the Blade...
