Re: Will there be high school hockey for 2020-2021?

Wise Old Man, I agree that Goldy’s points seem to be counter to what we’re hearing from most health care professionals (do we even know if he’s actually a health care professional? I seem to remember him previously stating that he was an AD or worked in an AD office years back, and he’s also a ref.....

Re: Will there be high school hockey for 2020-2021?

Interesting WM. I’m not saying I don’t believe you! I’m just surprised it hasn’t made the news. Just even today I looked up any daycare cases having been spread and couldn’t find one story of it in the entire US other than two daycares in Texas that each had one case... which is not great of course ...

What would be your opinion if it were to be proven that child to adult transmission is extremely rare? There is some pretty good preliminary evidence that is suggesting this.

Re: Will there be high school hockey for 2020-2021?

Also Minnesota hockey announced they are having a fall tier 1 season. Obviously things can change and that decision isn’t tied to schools being in session, but that combined with the U of M info is encouraging. When looking to what will happen in the fall/winter school and sports seasons, look less ...

Your idea of testing everybody on the way in is certainly more effective, but I would argue on the cost comparison. Plus, if the bubble masks were required that cost would almost certainly be passed on to individual players and their family, much like a stick or most other other required equipment (...

Re: Will there be high school hockey for 2020-2021?

I’ve got a crazy idea that many may scoff at, but for hockey at least, can’t they just require kids to wear the plastic bubbles on their helmets? Won’t be perfect, as they have holes on the bottom, but essentially so do the nurse face shields. Obviously not a 100% solution for everything, but seems ...

Still a whole other draft planned for this summer after, presumably, pre-draft camps take place. Was a good day for Minnesotans though.

Re: USHL Futures Draft May 4th

Most MN goalies spend at least a season or two in the NAHL before going to USHL. Some skip USHL all together. There’s probably more, but Jared Moe is one exception to this I can think of.

I give it a 1 in 3 chance there is no hockey come October. No decision should be made on where to play early. I completely agree with this. I'm not sure how anything will happen until there's a vaccine. Relatedly, I don't think there will be any fall high school or college sports. There are other f...

You’ve been reading too much of the Dave Spehar parody. Not sure where all the 2AA conspiracy theorists came from. Seems like this section has been pretty spot on and straightforward for the last few years.
