Shine you forget to state that all these players are ranked at B or C level, Minnesota has a hard time producing A level skaters in recent years . This should be the concern of Minnesota hockey, why is it that top level minnesota players feel they have to leave the Minnesota model ? You want to com...

The grass is greener? Talking about a squirt kid that will never reach his potential is so foolish doesn't deserve comment. To say MN Hockey stunts development is even dumber. You want MN Hockey to get bigger numbers and better athletes, outlaw all sports except hockey. No more basketball stealing ...

I keep hearing this argument that Minnesota doesn't produce any superstars. It's stupid on the face of it. Superstars are by definition few and far between. ANYONE who plays in the NHL is one of 600 players ON THE WHOLE PLANET who gets to play at that level. If Nick Leddy isn't the best D-man in th...

Typo. That's Tasmanian Devil.

Observer please do not point out freds mistakes, these are uncommon and do not occur on a regular basis.

Just posted a game story on the 99 AAA Caribou Cup championship game played Sunday at St. Louis Park. http://youthhockeyhub.com/ Fred you stated in your account of the game that the first period ended 2-1 for the ice edge, Nats won the game 2-1. I guess this would be a mistake and should have been ...

Not laughing at you, well maybe alittle. Just can`t believe how coaches or an organization will tolerate this type of behavior from their parents.

I heard a rumor that parents were screaming about playing time in the first period of the first game. :shock: Seeing this team in a couple of tournaments earlier in the year, I would have only been surprised if you stated they were NOT screaming about playing time (or refs or opponents or scorekeep...

Wow yep try and stir the pot up a bit 2112.... Dangled on by the aspen....um no....aspen goalie made a lot of great saves and play was consistently in the aspen end. Factually all three lines played on the power play and contributed over the weekend. In addition players from all three lines played ...

They'are!

Looks like Aspen did some Bo Dangling on the gold, funny thing after watching one pwer play i could figure out who the coaches kid was on the gold. Just saying.

Minnesota High School does not get much respect from scouts, ave age is 16.5 in Minnesota high School. How can you evaluate talent if draft eligible players are competing against younger kids. If you look at USHL, OHL, WHL and the Q, draft eligible kids play against own age or older. Shattuck plays ...

5 of the 6 top scoring Minnesotan NHL players spent a good amount of time playing Tier 1/Midget Hockey. The one that didn't, Backes, supplemented his high school season with some games in the USHL. Shouldn't this tell you something(yes!) when there are so FEW from MN that play Tier 1? Minnesota put...

[quote="Rick O'Shay"]Here are my predictions: The kids are going to have a blast and be treated to a quality time. Some of the parents are going to drink too many Labatts and wake up feeling not so good in the morning. Yes enjoying yourself in public is encouraged by the Blades organizatio...

2112- Yes I feel that playing D-1 hockey is a VERY high level of hockey. And a great acomplishment by Charlie. I think UMD just had the Hoby winner. I would think he was a somewhat developed hockey player. Maybe You feel a kid needs to be an NHL Allstar to be considered developed. And thats cool di...

Cograts to ANOTHER Mn kid moving on to play collegehockey. It seems like we must be developing players just fine. OG if this is your measuring stick for Minnesota developement then i guess your correct, Congrats to charlie for making the next step. Og maybe we should see where the Minnesota High Sc...

Very impressed with Lambrecht's play. This doesn't surprise me, Lambrecht is a great playmaker. He is small, but he is thicker than someone like a pitlick so he can't get knocked off the puck as easily.[/quote What`s with all the ill remarks towards Pitlick, give the kid a break. He is a good playe...

I would suggest that the Brick should allow 2 teams from Minnesota like they do with Ontario( Pro Hockey, Toronto Bulldogs). Minnesota could send the Blades and the Machine. The Machine beat the winner of the brick for the 98,99,and 00 levels when they were in Winnipeg. I am not saying Machine would...

Just posted an article on Luverne Hockey that maybe of interest. It is at http://youthhockeyhub.com/ I was there early this week. If you were there just a week ago how was the kid the MVP of the brick this past month. It was 2 years ago, is this just a Fredism or usual sloppy editing from YHH.

If the Blades did in fact get the northern boy off the Jets roster they should be ashamed. Aren't they having a European skate for them?? I think that the organization and coaching staff need to get things in perspective. Dornbach please don't compare the Brick to the U-20 championship. Once again,...

[quote="greybeard58"]The USA Hockey NTDP has 2 teams U17 and U18, a supposed try-out for 14 year old player to be seen and have a leg up sounds like a great sales pitch. What happens when these elite 14 year olds can not make their District 15 team next year. For those that go enjoy the tr...

First off I have no skin in the game, and no I have no axe to grind just want to tell the truth. If you can to USA Hockey’s website and view this so called national exposer tournament I would be glad to stop telling the truth. You make reference to evaluators at St. Cloud what are you talking about...

No your right. I do not have to go nor do I want to go because I know this is nothing that will advance players nor will it give them national exposer. I will leave you with this as a parting thought. "If your good enough they will find you" If you have to run to all of these so called ex...

Send your 01 off ta KC.[to live w/a billett family] There must be a better oppertunity available in the Chech Republic!!!! :roll: :roll: :roll: please. I don`t know where you get your info from Goalie but none of the Minnesota kids that played at Stover last year were billetted. We should expect mo...

Honestly Puckster.....You are correct on this. The individual players displayed there ability with the tools they were taught not the Blades. Even though they belonged to the Blades it was the players that excelled. Fortunately for the Blades they can have bragging rights that there organization go...

It was a good day for the Blades. Nine of the players drafted played for the Blades U16 team last fall. This is the team, coached by Jamie Huffman and Scott Steffen, that beat Shattuck three times (of four). Congratulations to all the draftees. Good work. Round 1- Dylan Malmquist-F- Edina- Muskegon...

Napalm: A program like the Blades with 15 7-8 year olds on the team, and you're already calling for the coach to shorten the bench? Do what's right for the team? Good grief. I expect this coming from most AAA pyscho parents, but not from a Blades parent. Looks like Bob is kissing some Blades behind...
