[quote="mkpfb"]MM defenders are claiming that the D6 rule that requires kids who play D6 to not play in other leagues because it adds consequences to a parent's choice about where their kid plays. This is exactly what MM does with its players. Here are a few examples from back when my kid ...

tier 1 u18

the city of rochester could support one, no need for mn hockey as these kids are beyond association. This would be could for the elite player of non metro or northern powerhouse assocations. Note, good for the player, so hold off on the bad for the high school team. Minnesota would field a very good...

My kids are on the younger teams. It is hard for everybody especially transplants to keep up with declarations like District 6 recently did about if you play here you can't play for Bernie. I wish at the end of the day the decision makers would say are these decisions best for the kids. I went thro...

As JBone said, FSN quit showing HS Hockey because they weren't making any money off it. Advertisers didn't step up and pay for commerical airtime during the HS games, so subsequently, they pulled the hockey off. I'm as bummed as anyone, but it's market-driven. it is not hard to raise enough money b...

Re: MN Made AAA tryouts

Does anyone know when the MN Made AAA tryouts are for the 2011 season? I'm assuming they're sometime in Sept but I don't see anything on their website. for the tops teams they are over with, unless your player is a 2002 then a good check and decent player will gain you a spot on the top team.

Where does a AAA player in Kansas City go to play now that Russell Stover is importing Minnesotans to play on the team, and take spots, from the Kansas City players? Is Russell Stover leadership really doing the right thing? Gotta be some unhappyness there. Are kids going to Tier 1 or Juniors as 11...

It's obvious who benefits with the move to June 1, but who are the "losers" if such a date is imposed? There would be no REAL "losers". If 40% of June birthdates started kindergarten late, they would be able to fall back one year and play with their friend and classmates, or if ...

Is your assumption that Tier I is a better developmental option than Minnesota HS hockey? It might accelerate things a bit, but it certainly doesn't raise the ceiling. Phil Housley, Jamie Langenbrunner, Paul Martin...these guys played HS hockey. Erik Johnson didn't. So he gets drafted a little highe...

Sounds like MNHockey is doing something very similar. Can play in another state (for the fire) but must sit out for a year when you come back. Go ahead and play, but be prepared to be punished if you do. Instead of giving your members other options within Mn., penalize them if they choose to play w...

In case anyone is confused; Hat Trick is the 3on3 rink, which is obviously much smaller than a standard "full ice" arena. This is what has most likely caused the disappointment with the original poster. Not saying a phone call wouldn't have cleared this up, but the distinction should have...
