I was at Edina's game last night and thought Hills first line looked pretty good, but huge dropoff when you get to the second and third line. their goalie looked much sharper last year and it seems like the smaller glove is affecting her. I'm getting the feeling that Edina may be tough to beat come ...

If your alleging someone in Hopkins is trying to build a "super team", your 100% false. I know the stories of the girls listed above and none were recruited by anyone from the HS program, but I think all knows at least one Hopkins player from off season camps or teams. Yes we will have ki...

After my last post, I received a phone call from a friend of mine who was on the wrong side of one of these attempts to build a super team. The player was part of a house cleaning by a coach who claimed to have all the answers and that the parents loved his program. The player was told she wasn’t lo...

It is ludicrous to think that any Athletic Director in the State of Minnesota is not following the High School Rules. Their job would be on the line and no high school athlete is worth it. That being said, it is a lot more fun on a forum to suggest impropriety and call "foul". Perhaps if ...

It does tick me off when people always question why their kid doesn't get invited. These coaches put tons and tons of hours in trying to make girls hockey better and we all should be thanking them. All girls can't be invited. Most are and if you have a special player how about emailing people invol...

I have seen so much hockey through the past 40 years, there are 2 things that hold true. 1) hard work beats talent every single time. and 2) Hockey is the most political sport out there. If your daughter loves hockey like you say, give her the opportunitty to work hard to improve, get her many diffe...

I’d say the favorites in section 4AA looks to be Roseville and Stillwater with White Bear not too far behind. Hill and North St. Paul may be fighting for the fourth seed in this section depending on how their conference games play out. There were 2 other girls who transferred from Hill last year who...

I see this so often, a list is compiled of the chosen ones when their freshman or sophomores. As soon as their anointed, the girls go through a growth spurt and suddenly aren’t as quick, or they become complacent and development flat lines. When I talk to college and junior coaches from around the c...

Didn't she play for Blake? IF this is the same girl, she was alright last year. I seen her play 4 or 5 times and thought she needs more upperbody strength and needs to be more aggressive. She'll get that drilled into her at Shattuck. She's still pretty young but may turn into a real good player if ...

After looking deeper into this, I found that letters were sent out to promote the event to some players who are registered with USA Hockey and have been identified as potentially decent players. The process was open to the first 100 players who signed up and the letters were more or less sent out to...

Ok I'll say it. You could pick the top 15 players from this so called Olympic tryout and they wouldn't have beat any of the top 4 teams playing in the Schwans Blue tournament. I watched both Sat and Sun and wasn't impressed. There were at least 30 players who wouldn't make some high school teams. T...

This is our second year here, my daughter commented that the quality of play is down a little bit from last year with the exception of the Shattuck Girls.
