I think if you have a program that has a hard time retaining quality coaches it might be something to look at. I believe that having someone in place year after year is certainly beneficial. The question becomes, what criteria do you use to determine "success" for the employee/coach? Is it...

Maroon & Gold Bantam League

With Edina winning the Minnesota Championship & Duluth East winning the VFW Championship it seems the M&G League was quite a success this year. I guess I'm wondering why more programs don't try to do something similar? I know that league is already full but it seems to me it could only be be...

No, I totally understand where the association president is coming from. I have no problem with the pledge, I just don't like the self-imposed doubling of penalty minutes, especially if both teams aren't playing by the same rules. I didn't see the interview, but my guess is that the President of th...

I always come back to this: Would you rather have a 5'10" 165# kid who doesn't know how to check running around delivering body contact to a vast variety of sizes and weights or would you rather have a 5'2" 105# kid doing it? Sure size is is going to differ at either level, but I think of ...

If this was an issue (which it isn't) it should have been addressed immediately, not right before the state tournament. At this point, you would be punishing the other 15 or so kids on the team for something that isn't their fault. I agree, as long as he was on the roster prior to Jan 1 than it does...

Best First Year Bantam A in the State

Zach Yon #10 from Roseau, is far and away the best first year bantam in the state this year! IMO it's not even close.

Re: score

Edina 3, Prior Lake 1 shots: Edina 38, PL 17 With the win over EP and the close score with Edina it looks like PL is a team that better be respected down the stretch for some D6 teams. I don't see them making a run to the state finals, but they could certainly prematurely end someones season at the...

Ep 8
Edina 7

Rough game, lots of penalties (go figure in D6) couple of ejections for fighting. I have to say...It was the furthest thing from a fight, it was more like a scrum then a fight. Too bad the ref was so power hungry.
