You have the RIGHT for your kid to play hockey or not. If you CHOOSE to play hockey, in this case in D6, then you obligated to play under the rules set by that particular organization, if you don't like those particular set of rules you have the RIGHT to leave and go play for another league, in thi...

I see from the agenda on MN Hockey's website; that the Board will be considering a multi league player participation rule. So apparrently, Hewitt is no longer thrown under the bus. With the approval of this new rule, I would assume, that MN Hockey is taking the same stance that Mr. Brad did. I had ...

This was the worst tournament we played in. The tournament director allowed multiple kids to play with multiple teams. That's pretty sad when you allow that. Stats were screwed up and when the tournament director was advised, he did nothing to correct the problem. Our team will not be going back. V...

Click the Comparisons link, this program has crafted relationships with some of hockey's best specialty partners to give our athletes the most inclusive training experience available. Other programs may cost more (you know who they are), but you will not get more. The price - $1295.00 The compariso...

Hey, I like MM but here's some observations. ... We've heard of as many as 16 important dads and moms leaving single associations. They want the parents more than the kids. Kids are replaceable. Strong community volunteers are not. Volunteer organizations need association leaders, coaches, managers...

What's the latest scoop on the status of all the Fire teams. 98s are dead for "administrative issues with Wisconsin Hockey" as stated in their apology letter (yeah right) - but I what's the deal with the Fire as a whole for now? I heard that ALL teams may be dead because of problems with ...

You must be really bored. I followed the link you included. You have to click on each player's name to see where they are from. Besides, it's not like the Blades don't do the same thing, they just don't have the stones to post the name(s) of their out-of-state or out-of-country player(s) on their we...

I certainly hope MM "does the right thing" and immediately relieves this coach of his duties, as they did w/ the 98 Deuce coach. Everyone seemed to think that there should be no second chances for that guy, but then again...

So parents expect you to be a role model, shake hands with the opposing team and not punish your players by humiliating them, that's your job as the coach. Zero tolerance for failing to be a decent human being and a role model. Ask Bobby Knight what Indiana did to him when he behaved like a jerk. I...

I hear the 98 Blades play the Icemen again on Sat. My guess is the Blades will show they are team to beat in MINNESOTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Interesting. Blades lost twice to the Machine and once to the Icemen so far. If these teams play on Sat. and the Blades win, how would that then make them the team t...

Road Rage is flapping that the Alliance decision to not include his team is causing his team to have to travel to Chicago, Winnepeg, Duluth for "Quality Competition" He's adding in the family angle that Grandma and Grandpa will not be able to see the kids play and blaming the Alliance for...

Seems to me what they are trying to do is bully a bunch of kids and their families, not fill tournaments with good teams. What "good" teams were left out? I believe every team playing was "invited" hence an invite event! The Icemen were offered a spot in the Alliance. Tony Brum ...

How did the game go with the 98 Blades & the Icemen?? :? I think it was Monday night. 4 to 0 icemen over blades Congrats to the 98 Icemen. Nice to see some good new legitimate local competition for the perennial powers-that-be. Icemen victory would also seem to contradict the Alliance claims th...

"just another note...congrats to the 98's"

The 98's for what team and what are the congrats for? Maybe just congrats for being born in '98?

Are you all missing the obvious issue/concern here when it comes to the orange and the ties? Hello! Bernie's health! Clearly there is something wrong with him if he is overlooking the opportunity to sell black ties with the Machine logo embroidered on them in orange. Don't you people care? The man i...

You know the Machine will win it hands down. What -- how can you not acknowledge the attention to fine quality and detail -- especially when combined with the functionality of the color scheme? For instance, when Machine kids are not on the ice (as if), the attractive Machine ensemble can be worn fo...

Seems to me what they are trying to do is bully a bunch of kids and their families, not fill tournaments with good teams. The Alliance is just a bunch of overblown egomaniacs who are sore over kids that left to play on teams that just might suit their families lifestyles better. Some of these kids a...

Paragraph B.3. reads "Affiliates may establish policies regarding participation conditions for players that waive into their affiliate." That language could definitely have a chilling affect on player movement. Does this mean that associations could, for example, limit waived-in players t...

Not an necessarily an impressive lot except for the multitude of top level Canadian teams -- NOT. ...but I dont see any other metro teams ("Non Alliance") at the other levels. You shouldn't assume that other "Non Alliance" teams at levels other than '95 had an interest in playing...

Junior Badgers is a great program made better by awesome parents. Fun team and fun program. Great program that has at least one current Blades skater and one current Icemen skater, along with other players that are already rostered on other AAA teams. Don't pretend that this some new and special pr...

How will Fire not win this? Association teams are rolling lines. Some have probably just switched up their lines, as many do on a monthly basis or after each tournament. I'd love to see any team from any pool other than the Silver pool win it.

When will reality set in for you all? The simple fact of the matter is that you cannot level the playing field for the entire world, not in sports, not in school and not in the job market. It's just life, and there will be inequities. The reality is that some associations simply have the numbers ava...

You also can't carry on your sticks, they are considered weapons. Can't even put them in the coat rack area of the plane. What you would be able to do with something that long in such a small space is beyond me, but that's the case. Long, pointed knitting needles though, not weapons. Interesting.

If your kids don't play on one of those teams, I would shut up, because the program you play in is no better then the Easton program. Sure the program has a few things to iron out, but my experience has been a good one for the most part. You have to remember, this is a long race, not a sprint and p...

Such cynicism. You are obviously forgetting that if your son is lucky enough to make an Easton team you get to be part of the awesome new AAA United Hockey Alliance and your kid gets to play for 7th place in all of the Invite tournaments that the truly competitive non-profit teams (Blades, Icemen, s...
