Record is 21-0-1. Quality class AA wins over Wayzata, Roseville, Stillwater (twice), Hastings and Elk River.

I suspect the fact that none of those quality wins are against top 10 teams keeps them out of #1!

Are the rosters/schedules available anywhere?

Is it just me or does it appear that the economy might be affecting the T-Breds ability to attract more top metro area players?

Most of us know the answer to that question!

Rumor has it that a former female gopher player is applying!

Here is a list of the top 20 defenders and the top 25 forwards. I went this deep to get some of the metro kids on the list. You can also see the SOS. I also added total goals scored by the team they play for. I have stats from two different sites, Coaches association (you may change stats at a late...

Hockey does have to be ran like a business in order to succeed. If you don't think there is a business side to hockey you are in a dream world. In a totally unprecedented move, I am going to side with Ho, on this particular point, anyway. :-k Hockey associations are ridiculously political, and they...

The concerns raised have never questioned the ability of the top 10 players.....they stand out and are recognized by all.....it's about the next 50 or so who apparently got invited because of who they know.

So true. This organization masquerades as having the elite Minnesota hockey players, while most realize there are some excellent players involved, many other elite players didn't even get a chance to tryout! Until more players get a shot, this will never be much more than a league for parents. I do...

The following note was sent to players in the League and has some information relative to 2009 Attention Everyone: Thanks for participating in the first season of the Upper Midwest High School Elite League.......You should all feel proud of this accomplishment. We are grateful to all of you for you...

Oil below $70 a barrel today....bet on gas at $1.99 at some stations by election time.....probably not in Roseau or Duluth though!

I guess my point is that at the HS level you want to field the best team if that means there are 8th graders better than some of the HS players why wouldn't you want them on the team? Don't get me wrong I am all for the kids playing at their age level to develope their skills and I also understand ...

This section may come down to best goatending. Who is the best Goaltender? Geisler of Elk River is a 9th grader and a very good goalie. Don't rule North Wright County out (Monticello/Annandale/St. Michael), they have a nice pipeline of players and really don't lose anyone from last years young team...

It has been suggested to me that certain parents within the Buffalo Association...many of the same parents (band of brothers) who voted to have EVERYONE pay for development are indeed running the training and paying themselves for doing it! Now if this is true then their kid plays hockey in Buffalo...

Anyways it should be a interesting year for all teams.

And then EP is lucky to have imports like SuperStar's daughter!

MNHockeyFan wrote:Still don't know the rosters but I do know that the league is looking for about 10 additional varsity players so the teams have deeper benches.

Not surprised they need players.....this is what happens when some of the best players don't get asked!

You are not off base...

Is this the end of the world?

HOFam'r....sounds like lots of problems in Buffalo! Happy to see you had the courage to stand up and question a youth hockey board....not done in too many circles without paying a hefty price!

g-hockeymom wrote:Does anyone know if the tryouts are open to spectators and the time/location?

Will they get enough players that they will need to have tryouts? I'm thinking the good players, the ones who feel "snubbed" by the "Elite League" are going to do other things!
