For once I think I agree with pepper. The girls from "up north" won it all at HP 17s, but that championship meant little in the way of college commitments, or even scouts ATTENDING that first place game. I believe only 1 girl off that team went farther along the HP yellow brick road. Bott...

GH scoring 7 goals on a team that obviously struggles each year to compete should draw the interest of some D1 Coaches? I would look at it differently as a Coach or Scout, but that just me. I was looking forward to see her play against a quality opponent like Tonka to see how she competes against a...

I know these weren't games we picked, but did anyone else see that Centennial's Hughes scored 7 goals last night? Wow, 7 goals? That's a whole season's worth for many...I would imagine she's already drawing some interest from some colleges? GH scoring 7 goals on a team that obviously struggles each...

Hearing NE Metro might be the team on the east to compete with the Edina, Minnetonka, Wayzata on the west. Apparently several older kids stayed back vs playing high school. Their goalie is apparently really good and a Sophomore. Tartan and North St. Paul combined at high school which eliminated a l...

Duluth had: Chanhassen Rochester Century Duluth Park Buffalo WBL Eagan BSM HM Maple Grove I may be missing some though, these are the ones we saw some action. A few surprises in the play. Buffalo has some big kids, Eagan did well and had some good play. MG is basically last year's team one yr older...

The tennis and soccer state tourneys this week; volleyball and swimming sections have yet to begin. As the hockey season gets started, how are these multisport athletes incorporated into the team, sometimes after 3 or 4 weeks of hard work by their teammates? I would think the 3 or 4 weeks that stud...

This is why I'm always baffled when the high school coaches aren't involved with decisions made by the youth program. The youth program can cripple the high school with poor decisions and inadequate recruitment / retention efforts. In my opinion, if high school coaches wanted to be involved, for th...

These are all absolutely spot on points. Well said. Andover's growth and success in the winter has gone hand in hand with the success of Miracle Gold in the spring and summer. It's not a coincidence both programs are doing well. In regards to waive-ins, from looking at Andover's U12 tryout list, th...

Andover's 12UA team had two waive ins from Cambridge/Isanti. All the rest were Andover players. Whether they recently moved in or not really doesn't matter or shouldn't - they live and/or go to school in Andover. The people responsible for building Andover's girls program have done a great job and ...

In regard to transfers, both on this thread and the thread over on the “Girls Youth Hockey” side, let's all remind ourselves that families of boys/girls move-on for all various reasons. Some speculate beyond personal boundaries. Every situation is different. At our high school, we're gaining two ver...

Has anyone been through a collar bone injury that evolved into surgery? We have gotten 3 different prognosis/outcome/treatment suggestions from 3 different MDs. You can pm or answer here. Thx Schedule an appointment with an orthopedic sports medicine surgeon. One of the best ones in the area is at ...

How many 14U teams played a 50 game season last year? How many played closer to 35? How many of those were 12-1 games? How many hours of practice ice did those 14U teams get? A high school team will practice considerably more hours than a typical 14U team and don't have that many fewer meaningful g...

15U is a good idea. If there were twice as many girls playing hockey, this would be a great idea. Same with keeping the 7th and 8th graders together at 13U. But girls hockey does not have twice as many playing. That's why some schools take whoever wants to come up to JV. Even if there were twice as ...

insane Did Viktor Tikhonov come back from the dead to run this program? The bar has been official set for any 11 or 12 year old girl who even dreams at a chance to play for the 2022 Olympic team. I wonder what the 2018 Olympic players are doing to prepare? (or what they did do) Whatever it is or wa...

Thoughts? The Fall HP Program Coordinator has decided to add a second tier to the Fall HP program for the districts who have enough girls to field two teams. We have enough girls to make two teams but it could only work if all players would be on board, so our question to you is, would your daughte...

Seems clear to me the Revolution is done, at Tier 1 anyways. Along with that, it's quoted: "Minnesota Hockey has engaged in discussions with the leadership of the Upper Midwest Elite League, the Prep Development League and the Girls Premier Prep League in which the Minnesota Hockey Tier 1 team...

MORE CHANGES TODAY Looks like someone's phone at the MSHSL must have burned off the hook. Most changes that happened earlier this week have been reversed. As of 4pm today (Friday 5/1): Edina is shown in 6AA Maple Grove in 5AA Irondale in 4AA Maple Grove in 5AA I guess they can just spin the wheel wh...

Thanks nu2, and congrats everyone. Question, did most of these girls play 14s last year or were they varsity? It would be interesting to know those numbers for each section. For the most part, you can find out easily. If you go to the MNH website, and go to the HP 15 Spring Festival page, you can c...

Up and down weekend of hockey at the U16 and U19 levels. As mentioned earlier, many in-town teams missing girls for mainly the HP 16/17 Final 54 (or 57 as they expanded). The Chicago Young Americans were pretty impressive at U16 and U19. At U16's, that MV team has played together for awhile now at t...

Here are the updated numbers that everyone has been waiting for. Of the newly termed "Final 57", on the HP 16 side, 53 of the 57 made the "Final 102" HP 15 Summer Camp in St. Cloud last year as player, or as one of the 9 alternates. That is 93%. One could turn this around and sa...

Is there a gate fee at these games? Yes, ten bucks this year. Twenty for a weekend pass. Not sure about student rates. With MN Hockey being too busy rolling around in their pile of HP money and gate fees, they've forgotten to update their website for ALL the 16 and 17 games yesterday. Does anyone k...
