Yes, I know, this is a self serving thread. If you don't like it or don't have anything with info to any of the following PLEASE DO NOT REPLY. Then this thread will move on to the back pages and nobody will see it again. Southwest/SLP Peewee A team is in this tourney. Every other team is from Canada. Just curious if anybody knows anything about any of the following 12AA Divison teams. Norwest Stars Red Lake Elks 82's Current River Comets Westfort Rangers Fort Frances Red Rock KC Sabers Neebing Hawks

expect quality to be similar to good PW B1 teams from the metro

If Fort Frances has a similar PW program as a couple of years ago, they will be comparable to a very good Minnesota A team. We played them up in Cloquet and they were 56 and 1 when we played them. They had won every tourney they had entered and I believe thay won that tourney also

This was a very good tournament. A lot of fun and very well run!!! I would really like to take a team to this tournament again in the future. Southwest/SLP did pretty well coming out with a 3rd place finish. SW/SLP 0 - Norwest Stars 1 SW/SLP 7 - Red Lake 1 SW/SLP 3 - Elks 82's - 1 SW/SLP 6 - Current River Comets 1 SW/SLP 3 - KC Sabers 4 Norwest Stars were set to play Vs KC Sabers for the Championship Game.

Congrats SLPCoach - I am sure your boys really enjoyed the idea of playing an all-Canadian field. Good for you to take you boys up there. Good luck at SuperSeries. Maybe Ryno and I will see you there.

Congrats SLPCOACH, Sounds like you guys had a good tournament. I look forward to seeing some of your players this week. Again Congrats!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Guys!!! The players really had a lot of fun. It was interesting to see them play with/against teams that play a different style of hockey. The games were very physical, but also very clean (with the exception of one game). The officials did a great job keeping the games under control, but at the same time let the players play the game and determine the out come on their own. Us, as coaches, recieved MANY compliments as to the style and level of hockey the players played. I really think all of those compliments could also be passed on to many of the teams we played throughout the course of this past season. There were a few rule differences in these games, the biggest change for the players was the addition of "Touch-Up" Off Sides. The players learned it very quickly and it sure helped the flow of the game. The other rule changes we slight and mainly in the consequences for penalties. "Head Contact" is a 2 & 10. Checking from Behind is 2 & a Game (if in last 10 mins of game it also includes the next game - but I only saw it called twice in all the games I watched). This tournament had 5 different divisions playing at the same time. PWA, 11AA, 12AA, BA, BAA. The AAA Thunderbay Peewee Kings played in the Bantam A level and were playing in the Championship Game. They had 3 players over 6 ft tall and were a high quality team. The only other team I saw in all these Divisions from out side of Canada was Superior, WI who had teams at the BA and BAA levels. I would highly recommend taking a chance on tournaments such as this. It really is quite an expierience for the players, parents and coaches alike. Next season we are actually looking into a 64 team tournament in Sweden.

How does an association with not enough kids so they join another organization and a of a sudden they have enough money to go to Sweden. (SW/SLP) When just SW they almost had to fold.

SLP Coach · Post by **SLP Coach** » Tue Mar 14, 2006 11:29 am

The association does NOT cover the charges for tournaments like this. They did not cover any of the charges for the Thunder Bay Tournament either. These costs are incurred by the members of the team that attend.

Thanks SLPCOACH, I was just curious, Good luck in Sweden.

SLP Coach · Post by **SLP Coach** » Tue Mar 14, 2006 11:36 am

I'm not saying a team WILL BE GOING to Sweden. But as of now, it is something that is being LOOKED INTO. At this point I would say it is a little less than a 50-50 chance at going. I, personally, would love to see it happen though. Only time will tell.

A 50/50 chance you may be cocahing next year. Your team was fourth in a horrible league.<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/alien.gif ALT="0]"> <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/alien.gif ALT="0]"> <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/alien.gif ALT="0]">

Yeah we heard all year about how young your team is how do you know they will return?

TyrellFashizo · Post by **TyrellFashizo** » Tue Mar 14, 2006 12:35 pm

Maybe he's leaving SLP for the position open at Como. I heard they have the Bantam A and B spots open. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/pimp.gif ALT=":hat"> "Pimp'n ain't easy"

SLP Coach · Post by **SLP Coach** » Tue Mar 14, 2006 12:37 pm

I don't know how many players will return - things happen ya know. Sure about a 50/50 chance that the association and parents will want me to coach their kids again. yup, whatever. You guys are super cool <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes">

People like "hawkfan" ruin great threads in this forum. I don't even know SLPCoach personally but from his posts I would say that he must be very much a "players coach". To rip on him in this forum is so OUT OF PLACE!

SLP Coach · Post by **SLP Coach** » Tue Mar 14, 2006 1:04 pm

I'm going to stand up for Hawkfan here. He, from what I have seen, is a good poster on these boards. Thanks HockeyDad9 for standing up for me. I appreciate it. But, I think Hawkfan was refering to the people posting bad things - not saying that I, as a coach, would be "Super Gone."

HockeyDad9 · Post by **HockeyDad9** » Tue Mar 14, 2006 1:10 pm

Good. I hope so. It upsets me to see posts in here that are not positive. Too much good stuff in the hockey world to be ripping our own. Please take no offense - hawkfan. Maybe I should have addressed my comments to the entire board rather calling out one individual. Please accept my apologies.

hawkfan70 · Post by **hawkfan70** » Tue Mar 14, 2006 1:26 pm

apology accepted i suggest in the future reading more than one or two posts on a thread to know what is actually going on no blood no foul <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/glasses.gif ALT="8)">

I hope you don't get SLP coach banned, he's been nothing but good on here. I can see where you want to get rid of hangumhigh. He and that AndrewAppleseed were saying some bad things. I'm going to report them too. Thank you Hawkfan

i must say that i am a bit flush with embarrassment <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/embarassed.gif ALT=":o"> i have never been thanked on here <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/ohwell.gif ALT=":\"> all my hard work has gone mostly unnoticed <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes"> i am sure the guilty parties will be gone soon <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/glasses.gif ALT="8)">

Andrew Appleseed must be SLPCOACH's only friend. Since I only have one he must only have one.<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/mad.gif ALT=">:">

SLP Coach · Post by **SLP Coach** » Tue Mar 14, 2006 1:56 pm

I gave YOU 2 friends and you only give me 1. Geez, what do I have to do? Maybe I can talk to the Zamboni Guy, that seems to be a thankless job. I'm sure I could be friends with him. Apparently my jokes don't come across very well? - I apologize
