Thanks to all for your help so far. Some posted here and some sent me a private message. Coon Rapids is too far from where we'll be staying. Prior Lake might work on Sunday the 21st for the Skate n' Shoot hour. Friday the 19th is our day of arrival and we are choosing between "Pond Hockey"...

Warroad-Roseau Hill-Murray-White Bear Lake Edina-Minnetonka Duluth East-Cloquet Hermantown-Duluth Marshall St. Thomas-Hill-Murray Greenway-Grand Rapids Edina-Eden Prairie Blaine-Centennial Edina East-Edina West was quite a rivalry while it lasted, but for me the biggie was always Kennedy-Jefferson....

I think it's great! That said, I'm not crazy about wood sticks . A low-priced composite seems cheaper to me because they last longer than wood. Not all composite sticks are $200-250. What a great idea. Credit to the kids for buying into it. I LOVE wood sticks.........you can get a nice hook on them...

Please expand on this.......He seems like a pretty good guy to me and I know him fairly well.

I'm not aware of his "reputation".

There is no spin about the Super squirt league. All four of the teams would beat the top association teams like OMG, Andover, Edina White, Rosemount etc. 9 out of 10 times. 5 or 6 of the top 01's around are playing in the league and about 15 of the top 30 02's around are playing in the league, so i...

I'm not gonna take the bait, wait, wait. Nope, not gonna do it.

Lost me at the part where you say your 7 year old made the decision. Decisions like these are made by parents. No reason to apologize for skating Choice IMO. The only decision I am making is whether to use my Visa or Am Ex to pay for it. It may be hard for some to fathom or unbelievable to others b...

Does anybody out there know anything??

The point system is odd: 6 points for a win 3 points for a tie 2 points for winning a period (total of 6 points) 1 point for a tied period 1 point for fewest penalties 1 point for a shut-out (I think that's it) You gotta just win your games, the 6 points is giant. I'm pretty sure they want to avoid...

If Lauden Swain had the same attitude as some of you people on this "bored", he would not have beaten (pinned) Chutt on his VisionQuest. That stupid Journey song would never have been written. Lou Holtz once said (and I quote) "If you shoot for the stars, you may not reach them, but y...

Irish eyes = Blades asst' coach. I.E. the father of the kid who falls down repeatedly and shots 10 feet over the net. Were waiting with baited breath for your Brick roster. Nice ruse. Blades=Tiny dancers No, no NO. You just called out a 9 yr. old kid for inadequacies in his game. BTW, you are cluel...

As a parent on the '02 Machine, I gotta say our schedule this past weekend at Stars and Stripes was a joke. It was obvious the brain trust at MN made headquarters wanted to ensure we made the semis/finals. Our first three games were barely worth a trip the rink. Kids don't develop by beating crappy...

The premier hockey tournament in the world for 10 year olds. :D Yeah, it's a bit ironic to say a "premier tournament in the world for 10 yr olds" but is it really that far off from a lot of the comments people make about kids anywhere from 8-15 yrs old on here? You perpetuate the stereoty...

Hey all! Manitoba guy here. Don't shoot! :D Excellent forum you have, I hope you don't mind outsiders! FWIW, here is who Steve told me was in the Stars and Stripes for the 02 Division a while back. Machine Orange Anaheim Wildcats Phoenix Jr Coyotes BC Bears Bauer Lightning San Jose Sharpsooters LA ...

Irisheyes02 Funny thing is that I talked with Bernie and according to him not one single family has asked him about trying out for the Blades Brick team. You are clearly a fraud. Why would someone pose as a member of the team and try and stir the pot. It is underhanded. "if looks could kill&qu...

I had a parent come to me regarding another player continually calling their kid "gay" in the locker room. I sat down with this kid and all he did was deny it (seems like everything happens when the coaches have their back turned). What did the locker room monitor say about it? The pot ha...

The fog must have lifted from the hook. Yes, you are wrong. Do you still believe they gave up two goals "all of last season :roll: :roll: Keep throwing crap at the wall in an effort to see what sticks. Most people on this "bored" try to deal in the world of facts (even with divergent...

Were the A Squirts in a competitive environment when they had two goals scored on them all of last season? Seems they were held back to me..... Are you exaggerating or do you really believe they only had 2 goals scored on them "all of last season"?? How many? You will understand then! :id...

The fact is. we don't have to worry a lot about the best players -- the As and B1s, whether they win or lose, will take care of themselves, many in summer AAA programs. Huh??? We can ignore the good players "we'll hold them back in the winter and then they can continue their development in the...

By now everyone accepts the idea that overspeed training is what really leads to accelerated development. The difference between a good team and a great team is not so much the skills as the quickness and speed at which those same skills are put to use. So a solid B1 player or A- player can improve...
