Incredibly Sad News - Brano died today

Brano Stankovsky died today. He was a long time coach at Blake High School and a great guy. I didn't know him personally but my daughter often talked about how much she admired him when he coached her at the freshman camp. He made a lasting impression on her with his positive attitude and encouragem...

As long as the system allows it to happen, it will. As soon as the process loop holes are closed, it won't. A bit of a simplistic view, but it's reality. There will always be loopholes. The truly motivated will find a way to exploit them. We can all name a number of examples of this. I'm not a fan ...

Still waiting for an answer about how you maximize the benefit of having a standout player. So far only stupid answers.

Would moving back to Ridder generate another lawsuit? I have a feeling it might. Does anyone think that previous lawsuit had anything to do with the move? I tend to think it did influence the MSHSL some. It could generate a lawsuit but like the previous lawsuit my opinion is that I doubt that the p...

What you'll also notice (hello, oblivious HS coaches) - the sophmore class is yes "good". Freshman "better" ..then the 97/98 "best". Yes, girls hockey has reached it's apex. So you juniors - watch your backs. That's not meant to be "mean spirited" but many haven't seen this wave of girls yet. Watch...

If I want to watch hockey played at the highest skill level I'll watch the NHL. I like HS hockey because of the passion and intensity. Girls hockey may not quite be there with the skill level (yet), but there is no shortage of passion. If you can't see that I pity you. Great comment! I'm sure most ...

Just to offer a bit of perspective. Yes, girls hockey has come a long way, but it still has a long way to go. There were, what, 52 or 54 14U teams this year, compared to how many bantam teams, 300+? In most areas those with hockey knowledge would rather coach a peewee B team than a 12UA team. In ma...
