Any private school in the seven county metro should be forced to play AA. They pull their kids from all over whether they are in an A school or AA school. Puts the playing field on the level. Then other schools such as a Mpls Co-op can play down to A as they should.... Any takers STA, TG, Breck or ...

LOL. Been there, they seem to be playing the shorter 1 verse version now. But it is definitley cut off before its over. The absolute worst is at Johnson, because they do the Philadelphia Flyers' bit of playing Kate Smith's version of "God Bless America" instead of the anthem, and it feels ...

No disrespect to the schools, but would it really be beneficial for teams like SPA, Minnehaha, and even Providence to play AA? Don't automatically lump all privates together, most care about academics more than athletics. Minnehaha barely has a JV team.

Think about how and where SSM gets their players, Delbarton does the same. They should be a very good team. On the other hand, they have to travel, and play 2 really tough games, maybe 3.

I know our guys had them fitted properly. The flaw is the flexibilty, when it flexes, there is not enough padding on the edges to keep the shell from hitting the forehead area. It is a SECONDARY purpose of the helmet to prevent concussions, the primary purpose is to protect the exterior of the head/...

One of our guys took a puck in the mask, gave him a nasty knot and cut on forehead, no stitches. Other guy hit to head from another player (should've had his head up), 27 stitches. Both injuries occurred in the forehead area, right above eyebrow.

A good mouth guard and a strong neck will prevent concussions more than a helmet. Until they figure out how to inject foam into the skull, this will be a problem. But the helmet should NOT be the cause of the injury, i really hope this gets taken care of soon. ps gerry, you see all the stuff going o...

Thanks for your input bstarr. Luckily there was a rep at our game and I informed him of our issues.

Anyone else having players cut by these helmets? I have seen 2 guys in less than a week be cut open (forehead area) wearing this brand.
Just wondering if it's a trend, or bad luck.
Thanks for reading.

As for putting 3 or 4 from one team, you have to consider that voters are probably not going to favor that many players from any one team. From what was researched elsewhere (not by me), there has never been one team to have three or more Mr. Hockey candidates in one year. Maybe Edina might have la...

Can't beleive this wasn't up, or maybe I missed it.

Is this the girl's hockey thread? Cmon people, its part of the game, as are injuries. If the athletes are trained and coached properly the injuries will be less. There is no checking in Women's hockey, and they STILL have career ending injuries. I'm all for safety, but if you are that concerned, may...

I'll put a different spin on this.
The 2 BIGGEST rivalries in hockey in the state of MN are.............
public v private
metro v outstate.
there you go.

How about this one Lee,
CDH-2
Blake-0

SOG- 21 (Blake) 16 (CDH), or something like that.

I believe it the School that determines that policy.

To answer the question about E.J., yes.

Thanks for the insight fangirl. Very interesting. I definitely agree. It shows how competitive imbalance system can be self-correcting, as it so often is. It's also very refreshing to see high school students who can write coherently on here (wow, that makes me sound old... :lol: ) I agree. Apparen...

Can someone tell me how these schools "recruit" these kids? Do they give them cars? A place to live? What?

You mean schools like SPA, Minnehaha, Providence, The Saints( private coop), Meadow Creek, Holy Family, should play AA?

Just calling it like I see it; he didn't only beat me by three minutes, he beat the end of the game determining who played in the game the thread was about by three minutes. I had the thread all ready to go but didn't hit the post button until the game was actually over. Not mad by any means, no re...

scoreboard33, what if you are the 11th best team and in 20 games you have played the teams 1-10 and 11-21 (yeah, not practical, I know) and you are 10-10? You are losing to the teams better than you and beating the teams worse than you. Elk River isn't that exactly, but close. They play 7 of the to...

My bad Lee, I was thinking of the Blaine/Edina blowout. Regardless, it is still a head to head victory. are you sure it shouldn't be discreditted because it was a close game? i mean, jefferson versus morehead doesn't count, right? nor does jefferson vs EP. how about when they beat wayzata? too clos...

I was surprised Doering was at Forward too. Did he play forward the entire game? He is still listed as a D on the MN Hockey Hub: http://mbhsh.stats.pointstreak.com/divisionscoringleaders.html?divisionid=16400&seasonid=3534&position=D RK PLAYER TEAM POS GP G A PTS +/- PIM PPG PPA SHG SHA GWG...

defense, what I am talking about is you questioning all the things people supporting Little Falls are saying we cannot use, implying they are silly for saying we cannot use those things, then turning around and saying Little Falls is a quality team. hshckfan08, I do understand exactly where you're ...
