"Let the other girls get pounded for a couple years because the strong players play somewhere else, then complain later when there is no depth." =D> =D> "I beg to differ The Boys game is vastly different from the girls game Playing on a boys team teaches more than just the on ice skil...

This is one of the "power associations" you mentioned. All hours are the same and coaching is not an issue. Non parent coaches with top credentials -- actually as it looks now, the boys side may end up with parent coaching.

Again, these are girls making the 2nd or 3rd teams down in boys, not the top team. Yea, for the girls that are talented enough to skate with the boys at the top level, go ahead, but when they are playing B boys hockey I think it hurts the girls programs, and really doesn't benefit them either, for t...

Rumor is the kid leading the scoring in the BEL is transferring out of Edina.

No, had a girls program ranked anywhere from 3 to 8 last year. Just parents with Olympians too good to play girls. I will clarify, I don't think an "A" team that has a "AA" team is really an "A" team. Anything past the top team, I consider B.

That is my point, we will have 4 girls playing boys who will not make the top team and may struggle to make the second team. Ultimately it hurts the girls program and creates a lot of animosity between the girls who should be using this time to build relationships and cohesiveness that they could us...

We have a lot of future Olympians who are leaving the girls program to play boys B hockey. Does that count?

Anyone know of any other big Bantam move-ins?

Anyone know of any other big Bantam move-ins?

I know there was some discussion about this on another thread, but now that this looks like a reality across the state, there seems to be a lot of questions about why this is being instituted, and what it will mean. I am just trying to understand so if anyone has any insight, please share.

What is the purpose of this change? What are they trying to achieve.

Is there a roster somewhere for these kids?

Congrats to Team MN on their 2nd place finish in OT. Highlights the tremendous talent we have at this age group.

Looks like they play for the Championship at 9:00am our time. Good luck girls!

Congrats Team MN on two wins so far. All the US teams seem to be winning. Bodes well for future USA efforts.

Cool. Thanks for sharing. Go Team Minnesota!

I too am very disappointed with the coverage girls get on YHH. It is however his business and he can run it how he wants. I disagree that there isn't the interest. There have been some great stories on the girls side this year. I think self feeding info would be is a good idea, as I think that is ho...

What is the goal here? It should be to build a strong and competitive high school team. For most of our girls playing high school hockey is the crowning achievement. Playing with their friends and growing and developing as a team is what they are going to remember. For few of them, it will also be t...

Having watched the games today, a be it from a far, I predict that Roseau will win. They moved the puck the best and have the goaltending that can win them the championship.

Some great games today.

Scores?

Don't forget the girls. They played the first week of January.

Hats off to EP's #11 who went from scrum to scrum trying to pull his guys out. Seemed to be the only EP player on the ice who understood the potential ramifications of what was transpiring. Very smart and mature behavior by that young man. His actions should be acknowledged and applauded. Agree, CM...

Shakopee, Eagan,Mtka Black in the same bracket wow!! Eagan IMO is overrated. Won a lot of games but played a really easy schedule. Edina got lucky with an easy draw, hard to not see them come out of their bracket. FL also has a very easy path. I predict American: Edina, Mtka, Shakopee National: And...

Every meaningful game in D6 went to overtime and/or shoot out. Shows how close these teams are. Too bad one had to go home when several 15-25 teams are advancing.

Some great games in the D6 districts. Shakopee is playing very well taking down both Mtka Black and Edina. Hate to see EP go down to Mtka Black in a shootout - especially after they outshot them and outplayed them the entire game.
