agree that top line is great for Delano! Let me ask, has anyone else seen them play have any comments? I have seen some some of the scores and it looks like they're really good. i had a buddy watch i think the chanahssen game and he said the delano line was great but the scoring was little out of w...

starting to feel like AA is a wiiiide open.

time for me to google hiccough vs hiccup.

make sure to grab some of the memorial polish's...always tasty.

Alex may be the best team in Central Lakes conference. They are starting to build a pretty solid ground up program. Guessing they are a year or two away from moving to 8AA, and will be in it for the long haul.

If East can get solid tending they may be a little under valued right now. They were right there with Rapids most of the youth years but had a few guys go different ways in Bantams that is kind of forgotten.

plus the East coaching is always worth a + or two.

I think, especially in the second half, teams are not going to want to play Roseau. Several youngsters that will only get better and team speed like they haven't had in years. Elliot can say they are not good but he may eat those words by year end. Roseau isn't to bad. TRF's goalie stole a win from...

Tell me again what the downside of the AA/A split is again? So we want Cloquets Bantam AA team from this year to fill their season with games vs Proctor, Hibbing and Silver Bay? I'm just excited the HP 14s will be playing in Duluth the weekend of April 22nd. I wish more HP festivals would play in D...

anyone else see an influx of WHL scouts at bantam regionals?

aggregate looks good from what I have seen

I would like to see a year end computer vs. people ranking compared to state tournament results. Maybe it has been done before? I know in FB QRF is usually pretty heavily scrutinized but often times comes out really close. Head to Head is really difficult because sometimes you match up well with a p...

if you just want a balance model...

the bantam elite league just about has nailed that with north teams and the metro draft. in fact for this year they had to split the north to make it fair.

Back in the day if an Edina vs hill Murray game was on for the night a thread 2 days before would be made, some good discussion and maybe even an ingame between period update or two.. in today HighSchoolHockeyForums.com forumland........ crickets... end of an era? and did you know Roseau & Warr...

I hate these aimed at sports...its not sports its society in general Kindergarten is the new first grade... Masters degree is the new BS.... Ever watched a professional bass fishing tournament... Ever watched a hunting show... The level of competition is ever increasing... Problem with sports is peo...

Any good intel on the northern teams? What is Grand Rapids returning? Hermantown? I haven't been impressed with the Hawks group at this level for the last few years ... thoughts? Hermantown lost quite a few from this age group to marshall already. but still have one of the top players in the state....

are any of them feeling particularly good about their teams? seems all are going to be down. Bemidji maybe?

I believe the original question on this thread was about finding ways to possibly improve a certain program that effects all of us...seems reasonable to me. the original question was, "Mandatory training in safesport for coaches and board members that oversee coaches...." IF you can take ...

I'm a level 5 coach and while I wouldn't say I've learned nothing, I will say this, what I have invested into coaching classes both financially and time wise is not worth the education I have received. I think most of us who coach wouldn't mind these requirements as much if they were actually worth...

if you spend a lot of money your child has a chance to advance if the talent is there. if you don't spend the money your child has less of a chance to advance even if the talent is there. im thinking about the crazy parents of a girl in my youngest sons grade, they buy her books all the time and she...

so you think Bittner is still a MN "A" prospect if he stayed in Crookston?

Sports after HS are a business. Your boss wants to protect their interest, it has nothing to do with the players.

Steeldogs have a game on Thursday and Friday during the day, which will cause kids to miss school on both days. This is the issue that ticks most parents off. It's not summer yet, kids are still in school. If it was summer I would say, yeah, sucks to play on Thursday but we'll live. As for hotels, ...

see any wednesday or thurs games here...? maybe a lot more ice in chi-town.

if your tryouts are closed are you presented tryout information? if a formal evaluation procedure is in place there would be value for all in seeing where your players ranks in speed, acceleraton, shooting, puck control etc... but there should always be "open spots available". there is alw...

Well played MN Made...schedule teams for 1 game thurs & then 1 game friday or saturday...works well for stay and play. I guess the old 2 - 2 - 2 fri / sat / sun just not pulling enough hotel revenue because everyone knows there is plenty of ice. http://www.minnesotamadehockey.com/page/show/90166...

The Elite League should be all over this. If they had a playoff system in the fall league and the winner of that punched a ticket to AAA Nationals it may be a great opprotunity to further legitimize the league.

It might push some coaches / managers in the league to really look for talent.
