there is nothing wrong with cutting seniors that can't play or aren't as good as the underclassman. for instance roseau last year cut 3 or 4 seniors one a goalie who ended up going to rival warroad, starting for the warriors and bringing them to the state tourny.
I guess I feel that the seniors should be given a shot. These kids have worked for 15 years to play varsity hockey. The freshmen have a development team. Bantam A. I doubt the freshmen were "better". I am guessing the coach just made the decision to toss this year in favor of future wins. (IMO)
sorry 319. didnt mean for the pm, but will try it again, when did they start palying Bantam A there i dont think some of these kids have even seen the A level, do they honestly think in 3/4 years they will be in the hunt for anything, this is a great way to put the final knife in a program not going anywhere, thats just plain NUTS
I don’t think Sauk Rapids has had a Bantam A or Pee Wee A team in Five (5) years?
So that is early move up of Bantam B kids to replace the Seniors. Ouch!? How did these (B) teams do in Districts playing with talent of A caliber players on it?

I heard from a SR parent that SR had enough numbers to field a Bantam A team this year and had plans to do so, but losing the top 5-6 kind of puts a dent in that. They currently have a B1 and B2 bantam team.
I heard the parents choose and vote on the level of play there??????Dont the high school coaches help out with that? Just a couple of years ago they had A teams and did pretty good in their district.Isnt there a couple of kids on the SCSU team.
