I plan on asking our board next week to start a petition asking that USA Hockey reduce their fee.

World-class insurance coverage to provide peace-of-mind for all involved in the sport What would a policy like this cost an association? If you had 500 kids and coaches in an association, that’s $25,000, would a policy cost you more than 10k. What are the ramifications not to belong, Isn’t Minnesota...

I agree what a joke! The fee should not be more than $10

Shouldn't the 02 blades beat the 02 Machine, since the 02 blades were team minnesota and played at the brick. Plus with these summer teams how many kids played in all 3 games for the same team. The choice league is watered down because they expanded the number of teams and the younger Machine teams ...

Looks like the Machine 03 beat legecy 10-2 and beat Euroamerica 10-0 for the championship

2003
Legacy 20-0 over Black Ice Edge
Machine Orange 12-2 Euroamerica
Walser 5-2 Minnesota Edge

You may see an association go AA, A, B1 vs A and two B1s or you may see edina add another A or B1 so you may get more teams from the larger association

who are you verifying your info with

I think its tough for a smaller association, you may have 8 A players but need 15 and your District may want you to have an A team what do you do,

I always thought hockey dads would make a great reality show

Is there a limit on the number hours a high school vasity team can practice? If so won't they exeed the number of allowable hours

Its the smaller associations in D6 that will be losing players, they are stuck playing only A teams in district play.

If there practice schedule is online, why dont you go watch a fee practices you will get a better feel how things are run.

my problem isnt the opens playing the invites, I agree its good for the opens and an eye opener for most parents who think their kids are going to play in the NHL, again my problem is only offering 4 games and only 4 teams making the championship round. This tournament is the end for most AAA season...

black or orange

What a joke, they mixed the invite and open teams in the 03 level and only give 4 games, i'm not sure if thats fair to the open teams.

people will say winning breeds winning, look at what Cretin use to do in football, they would beat up the little sisters of the poor all season in the St. Paul city conference and go on and win state, they got to develop more kids and build a culture of winning. The same thing may be happening with ...

Don't you think it was a big mistake making it a sanctioned tournament,

It seems to me an association would be taking a big risk if they are not chosen, it also seems like a lot of money for 3 games.

Do you have some insight that D-6 made a change?

I heard USA Hockey is trying to make all Mite Games Cross Ice for 2013. MN Hockey is fighting. Seems a little crazy to make your advance/last year of Mites play only cross ice hockey. I would assume you would play 3 on 3 at that level. I agree lower mites should but your older mites are 8-9 years ol...

How do they call themselve elite they couldnt beat St Francis,

correct me if I'm wrong, the traditional powers in Minnesota were not in the tournament?

Is it true the only association that wanted to separate the AA and A teams into separate divisions was Edina. So D-6 is ignoring everyone else and catering to only Edina.

I just wanted to say thanks to Chandler23 for posting this, my son play in the tournament and had a great time.

I agree with edgeless, whats the point, you might as well have left things alone and let the smaller associations play B1,

When the proposal for the new AA/A system came out, I originally thought the bigger associations Wayzata and Edina would field two A teams that were evenly balanced not two AA (Wayzata) or an AA and A (Edina). This way they would get more kids in the A field but at the same time have the opportunity...
