The games are sandwiched between the conclusion of the Select 15 and Summer Sports (Mid July) and Association Tryouts (End of September).
It is not affiliated with MN Made.
The League will have paid administrators, coaches, and a private advisory board. We already have an impressive list of players committed to play next year.

Not a "Invite Only League" then, right?BantamElite wrote:The tryout cost is $12. $2 goes to NGIN fees. The rest goes to cover the cost of ice and coaches to run the practice.
If a player/parent requests a refund after the tryout we will happily give it.
We have a comprehensive process for choosing players and coaches. Our $12 tryout will reflect it.
What percentage of the players will come from the tryouts?
Could be a GREAT thing for Minnesota Hockey if it's run correctly..

Give some names or the whole accepted pre-invite list, so I know where my kid is at in comparison, or if he remotely has a chance.BantamElite wrote:80+ will be Invited prior to tryout.
The remaining invites will be earned through the tryout process.
Ballpark 80-20, the exact # of invites is still being determined.
The current list of accepted pre-invites is impressive.

I Can't believe that you did not include A.P. from Lakeville South, 99' Machine as an invite let alone in your top 10. Honestly he would be my top pick. I always thought he was a late 99', even though LS got smart and moved him up to Bantams last year. No I am not his dad or from LS, just surprised...

AP was left off mostly because he has never competed at this level with his peers. If his parents would like him to participate, we will make room for him in this League. Email address is bantamelite@gmail.com.
No doubt his skill, size and shot warrant a slot in our league.

Boom! Your thinking was probably correct. Why didn't someone think of it sooner. Best of luck.
