Youngatheart -- was your kid one of those left at home? Do you actually know this or are you just guessing? Are the Wisconsin kids only playing in the Brick and playing for the Flyers the rest of the summer?youngatheart wrote:Team Minnesota? New Name and same old story. Blades team with a few new guns from who knows where. Two kids from Wisconsin Flyers already on Brick Team. Team has been picked since end of last AAA season. Tryouts just for show and money maker.
Classic Blades development from last season. 02' team goes 0-5 in Winnipeg. By the time Caribou rolls around. Line up modified and they skate 13 skaters. Few 9 year olds sitting at home wondering what happened. Same kids and families that were recruited and told they would be able to play in the Brick, now off team. Lost to the Orange in Championship in close game.
I do find it strange, that the Blades constantly pull this crap, and still don't win. Even if they did win by bringing in these "tournament players", is it worth it to hurt reputation on program? I guess the Blades are above it.
Maybe fanofthegame should address your comments about the Brick team already being picked and we could stop the conjecture.
