Blake's loss this year helps justify staying at A for a year or two. At least in the minds of the only people who count (the admin and parents who could influence a change.)
Hadn't seen the final national roster. MW is 14, correct? Must be among the youngest ever. Great for her!
As for an all privates conference, I think with few exceptions, those programs are not at the top of their sections as frequently as this board implies. In Rochester there are too many teams for the numbers involved, and they end up cannibalizing one another since move-ins are more infrequent than the metro. Also more difficult to enroll there without physically moving. Same for Duluth. Marshall is playing varsity for the first time ever. More transfers in that section to Mirage than to Marshall, by a wide margin. JG I'm curious what you think the "different set of rules" implies. With open enrollment it's a wide open field before 9th grade. IMO the issue should be are schools (public or private) playing down when their history, numbers, and talent suggest moving up?
Btw, does anyone know where the BE girls are playing this year?

Demographics are changing in Roseville like most first ring burbs starting to deal with the same problems as NSP, BP, AC,Richfield etc...Sparlimb wrote:Which is weird, because it's not like Roseville and WBL have been door mats.

Everyone is talking about BE but no one knows what's really up. Fact - they didn't field teams this summer at any level. Some not playing, many others scattered around various OS, Blades, etc. teams. Generally "known" (but not at all known) is that they only had provisional tier 1 status and MN hockey said development only after that expired. No idea if that is even close to the truth. Not much recruiting info available around the tourney circuit this summer.

Well, since she's entering 9th grade, she could be just going to school at CDH (and that may have been her plan all along). Not technically a "transfer". But certainly a player who played varsity last year for one school and now is at another.jg2112 wrote:Yes, LM is transferring to CDH from Roseville.Mavs wrote:Maybe I missed it in this thread but just saw someone post the Prospects Camp rosters and another young Roseville player was listed as Cretin in the program unless it was a misprint.

BSM has had one bad year after their Ms. Hockey graduated. I'm sure they'll be back around. Hasn't helped them get to the state tournament much, but section realignments could be good for them.D6 Girls Fan wrote:What happened at BSM? We always heard the denials about their recruiting when those D1 players all gathered there, but I'm now inclined to believe them. They haven't had any significant additions in years. Did they even put anyone into college this year?

To be more clear, these girls are part of the 83 girls invited to the national festival. The 2 teams of 22 have not been chosen . The youngest are 2000 birth years.
Good luck to the invitees

My bad, I was thinking Pannek. She was the best player in the tournament 2 years ago and had a really good freshman campaign with the Gophers. I was too lazy to search whether they actually gave her the award or not.36Guy wrote:Who won Ms Hockey from BSM??Sparlimb wrote:Well, since she's entering 9th grade, she could be just going to school at CDH (and that may have been her plan all along).

BSM only had two seniors, both were top of the class students - Summa Cum Laude (one was valedictorian). Both were pursued by multiple top academic D3 schools. Only one playing hockey next year.D6 Girls Fan wrote:What happened at BSM?

BSM will be fine. Better this year, maybe better next.
If you think that player from Roseville will be lucky to make that squad, you are crazy. Now with that, I will qualify that HM has some really nice players, but you're talking about a Jr. Whitecap player... Maybe not a high scorer, but certainly knows how to move a puck. You don't get to play Jr Whitecaps if you're marginal...that is a fact.panpan111 wrote:Roseville Senior transfer is not a top line forward. Will be lucky to make the squad.

Roseville is getting gutted this offseason.

Between graduation and transfers, losing your top goalie, an all conference defender, your leading scorer, and a player (to a conference rival) who would likely be a top-4 defender this year is never good.
They have a great player in 7th grade who plays PeeWee A (was the captain last year as a first-year) but the numbers are low on the girls side. Only 7-8 girls in 7th grade are playing.

What is going on over there? That has always been a good program and they have had players (Centennial, Hudson, etc) move in but suddenly kids are leaving? Ex-assistant coach's kid leaving?

Roseville and WBL appear to be taking a big hit on the east side. Will they just be private school feeder programs going forward? That would be sad.
I disagree...I know all the players involved and playing a lot will be difficult. Not a condemnation of the player but rather a testament to HM's depth. I don't think Anderson, Kaasa, Featherstone, Boreen, Blinkhorn and Smith are going to be riding the pine anytime soon. It's also assuming he doesn't move Prater back up to forward.titleist wrote:If you think that player from Roseville will be lucky to make that squad, you are crazy.

As far as the Whitecaps go, its no secret I'm a big fan. However, a sticker does not make a great player. Those stickers are way easier to come by these days.
