Does anyone know about the Benilde Girls Varsity coach? I understand he quit but does anyone have an idea why or who might be coming in for next year? <p></p><i></i>

Nice post slappy better then flying off with the insults.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

Slappy11 you need to read what I said again. read it slow so you don't get confused again.<br><br>post 1 <br>This is an inquiry for the actual story about the great 88 team Bernie supposedly created. Is my question true or false? since you know so much<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><st...

I have a great idea lets have district tryouts for A teams. Each district runs a tryout for 8 district teams. These teams play each other and the other district teams. Now the kids playing in Wayzata that can make an A team on any other association can play A's. The B player at cooper is not forced ...

I am not ripping Bernie. I am ripping people who hold Bernie in such high regard that they think he is going to take their 8 year old and turn them into a D-1 player. <br>Bernie's success was built on a team of players that were already the best in their class. <br>I have heard some really good thin...

I might be mistaken but didn't Bernie create that 88 team when those kids were older 2nd year peewees and first year bantams. They only played together for a couple of years. Most of his team came from the blades and team minnesota. I'm fairly certain his son Jamie played on the blades a few years.<...

No I wouldn't. <br>If my kid is going to be good enough to make the pros I am not going to know that or even be able to prepare him for that at age 9. I think it would be better to try to prepare him to play H.S. first. <br><br>Your talking about top level 88 players at the bantam level not the squi...

Most people generally agree that the difference between the bottom A player and the top B player in lagre associations is barely noticable. So why not go smaller but more. Then you have 24 playing A instead of 15 and everyone gets more ice and they practice as one team so the costs are reduced and t...

Do the blades really cut kids mid season? What do they think they are playing in thre NHL? <p></p><i></i>

You people are insane your talking about 9 and ten year old kids like everything will remain the same 5 years from now. The whole concept of the 96 machine is so insane I can't believe people pay thousands of dollars to participate. 2.5 hours of practice 4 days a week in the summer. <p></p><i></i>

obviously you have no respect for girl sports what so ever and your probably just some childish teenage boy that thinks he way to good for everyone else annd you probalby just suck.. So honestly it is hard to dominate girls hockey and especially for 8th graders, not only are they not in high school ...

If a squirt team played 50 games they should have been suspended the next year <p></p><i></i>

i haven't really seen dana gallop play for a while but the last tournaments i've seen her in was elite and selects and she didn't do much. Although i hear that she has improved imensley so hats off to her and i will be for sure heading to those tournament games and will look out for her. i remember ...

Minnesota doesn't send teams out there for the same reason you don't send teams to our tournaments. It is not cost affective. <br><br>For $500 dollars I can put together a group and skate all summer 2 or three times a week. For $1000 dollars I could afford to let him skate for the blades:~)(Another ...

it takes 3 things to play at the higher levels <br>1. good player<br>2. good kid<br>3 good parents<br>If one of those items is missing it will definetly reduce your chances of getting noticed. I sure the scouts realize this more then anyone. <p></p><i></i>

Why is it that so many of the great hockey minds of Minnesota talk this talk but nobody listens? Jack Blatherwick has been preaching this stuff for decades. Still no changes are made. The brain trust of MN hockey is failing our elite players and allowing them to slip into mediocrity and they refuse ...

Danny Kristo is a 9th grader but not Bantam eligible. He is a Jun b-day. <p></p><i></i>

I believe before the game is what they do in Canada. <p></p><i></i>

You guys sound like a bunch of old timers who think "the game was better back in the day". <br><br>The athletes today are better then the athletes of the past. They train more often, and better. That can only lead to more skill and athleticism. Then add to that the equipment is better. Wha...

if she approached you about switching schools maybe she has a school in mind. Let her choose that way she is responsible for the choice and must live with the decision. Obviously you need to set some guidlines about what schools will fit into your life style but she can still feel responsible if she...

Research shows that girls who excel in sports at a young age continue to excel later. With Boys it is not the same. <p></p><i></i>

Traveler it is not that hard to see all these girls when they all come together and play with and against each other in the summers. <p></p><i></i>

Yes Spencer Campion, captain and top defensemen, broke the bulbus part of his elbow off and had surgery to put it back into place last Saturday. This happened against Cretin. BSM has had some hard luck since coming back from NY. <p></p><i></i>
