I see it this way: 1.)This threatens Minnesota Hockey (at least Pauly and the gang over at the parnoid MSHS Coaches Assoc.) 2.) The penalty was sooooo punative and so un necessary. 3.) Freedom of choice is being attacked (when the team was simply not hurt or threatened). So I ask you, if a kid (and ...

TJ Moore was an obvious snub...if anyone has watched him in the Elites for the past two years like I have...and you compare him to several of the other candidates, then you instantly recognize and it's obvious your only allowed 2 from 1 school...don't worry TJ, the ones that count, they know!!!!

All jokes aside for one minute and consider these facts: 1.) the coach cut you or is not playing you as a Junior 2.) MSHSL makes $6 to $8 per fan at all games (my point it is a money making venture for the schools and the league to the tune of $5000-$10,000 on any given night-except playoffs and the...

2013 Mr. Hockey

Blake Heinrich-HM IS the obvious choice. All of the forwards you mention either disappear when he is on the ice, or they have already felt his bulldozing hits. He commands the ice like no other D in the state. There is no doubt IF he comes back HE will be the front runner. Congrats Blake on UMD :wink:

If you measured this kid by just his hockey skills, he is one of the top of the D core in minnesota high school hockey. If you add in his character off the ice, you may not find any better in all of hockey.
