Yeah. The most important lesson any talented Princeton 8th grader took from last night's game was that, if she wants to win any Section games the next four years, she needs to open enroll to Andover. If that talented player and her family chose to relocate, there would still be learning opportuniti...

I'm not saying either of those things. School administrators have been agile enough to cancel and reschedule games on 24-48 hours' notice this season across all sports. Are we claiming the MSHSL isn't agile enough to download the KRACH rankings and create a postseason tournament that is potentially...

You're right. Teaching our daughters great life lessons about silly things like loyalty, accountability and integrity....Apparently items that are no longer valued in our current society Let alone following rules. Maybe that is an implied part of integrity. Is this a private, Christian High School?...

Over 50,000 medical doctors and practitioners who signed the Great Barrington decree would disagree with you (and Fauci—whom you may recall also called masks unnecessary then recanted). Not everything your great doctor professes is gospel. Anyway, this isn’t about Great Barrington, it’s about asymp...

A Johns Hopkins study of the flu disagrees with you: "As many as 50% of infections with normal seasonal flu may be asymptomatic, which may in part be due to pre-existing partial immunity. Asymptomatic patients shed virus and can transmit the disease, but not at the same rate as symptomatic ind...

Not all virus act the same. Influenza is rarely asymptomatic, whereas it is very common in Covid19. People with flu/Covid symptoms are staying home for the most part, or at least masking and distancing. This has greatly lowered the incidence of influenza spread. Covid on the other hand is very ofte...

The article states that he "dropped an F-bomb" one time, which he admits. It does not in any way state that it was directed to a player, or that there has been any verbal abuse of players. Could have been, but nowhere is that stated. This is how things run inside a hockey program. A situa...

The easy way to understand it is this.......go watch a high level Bantam AA game in Minnesota. The kids spend a fair amount of time making decisions that will keep them out of harms way. Regularly, throughout the game. Then go watch a high level PeeWee AA game in Minnesota. The kids are focused on ...

The vote was based on retention at the Pee Wee level. They learned that the Pee Wee level was where they lost the most amount of players and they think/thought it was due to checking being introduced at that level. They thought, and it was common knowledge that they thought by eliminating checking ...

Actually through proper teaching and repetition it can be taught and they can multitask, that is also proven. Hence the we are actually advocating is to actually have BODY CONTACT/CHECKING start in squirts. With proper teaching and greater emphasis on proper calling by refs they would be proficient...

Part of the problem is you have a bunch of teenage boys who finally get to hit and are obsessed with the big hit and forget about the puck. It is like a kid with a new toy!!! Chippiness has always been a part of the game look at what happened Saturday night between the gophers and huskies. I have b...

It's an issue to take up with the local association regarding their coaches. ALL coaches are being taught to teach it. Whether they do or not is a local issue. They are? A squirt coach is only required to be a level 1 CEP or a level 2 CEP.... I have my level 3 CEP and I can tell you emphatically we...

Checking was removed at the Pee Wee level to take advantage of the "window of opportunity" in the age appropriate skill development progression. I don't claim to know the science behind the brain development of 11/12 year olds but that's it, period. Argue with the logic, but not the reason...

I think this is supposed to be a development program. Maybe it's ok to provide an opportunity to girls that are not on the above lists. It could possibly be beneficial to girls hockey overall if other players get a chance to spend some quality time on the ice. Not sure it's meant to be a showcase or...

As of 2010, Bylaw 15.3.3.1. for Division I athletic programs differs little from the one-year rule invoked in 1973, as it reads, "If a student's athletics ability is considered in any degree in awarding financial aid, such aid shall neither be awarded for a period in excess of one academic year...

Jordan Hanson CDH, Kennedy Speiring CDH, Gretchen Greeder HM Greeder played varsity for WBL as an eighth grader. Hanson is going to be a junior has been at CDH for two years Speiring was the leading scorer for WBL u-12 two years ago and is going to be a 10th grader. Howe Stillwater 9th grader this ...

Marty, Union is a school without athletic scholarship. It is a financially need based school. Most students will get financial support. It will depend the on parents income. I'm pretty sure Union has academic scholarships not just need based. Like most Ivies (yes I know Union is not an Ivy), Union ...

The key question is where the student went to school. The question they must answer when they enroll in a sport is did you attend a school other than this one during the past 12 months or something similar to that. If they go to school at Bauer-Emerson or a school affiliated with that program in 11t...

I spent ten minutes scouring the Coaches area of usahockey.com , that is the area that tells us everything we are supposed to do that is " required " for us to coach this upcoming season. There is NOTHING in that area about this subject. It is beyond me how a person can argue that their O...

You are right, I am not..... BUT what if we did use YOUR opinion on what a good coach is... again you just made my point. The good coaches don't "need it" and the bad ones won't pay attention to it, nor will the bad coaches be turning themselves in. Further this stuff can also apply to te...

Ok, let's say I buy into your premise that these videos are "good". Based on everything I have read and seen it sounds like this is backwards then. To me it sounds like the parents, players and board members are the ones who should be required to watch these videos and not the coaches. I ...

I have to say that I agree with the safe sport training. Yes another stream of videos but they do make a point and bring a common theme to those that are going to volunteer. JSR you are a pillar of your hockey community and that's a great thing but many volunteers and coaches aren't as thoughtful, ...
