Senor Montoya,
I believe Mr Endtoend just answered your question.

Were any of the 14U Maroon teams made up of 14 year olds? Summer hockey is played at the level where the players will find themselves in the fall. 14U means 14 and under for the winter season. That will include before July 1 12 year olds, all 13 year olds and after July 1 14 year olds. So, many gir...

Congrats to the 99 Velocity and MN Saints for winning their divisions. That being said, Inigio, are you honestly calling out the Ice Cats, OS and Edge for playing up? Are you upset that they decided to play up in the 14U Maroon division, (the upper division of 14's). They did very well and in fact ...

The fact that adults are bickering over who are the best teams in the off-season U12 season is in itself a very good indicator that the sport is very healthy. There have been some reports that numbers have peaked and girls' hockey is in decline. (Some say the high-water mark is with the '95s, other ...

Girl's Coaching Staff at Armstrong High School in Plymouth just resigned This isn't as dramatic as it sounds. The staff no longer exists because the team no longer exists. The current Armstrong staff has to apply for the position like anybody else because there will be a new team, the Robbinsdale c...

I wasn't trying to knock the teams that were there or the organizers or anything. I'm just saying that the choice of this weekend was bizarre to have a U14 tournament (1996-97 birth years) when the top 160 '96s had more important business across town. Considering what was riding on the Adv. 15 games...

I'm sure it was a great time and wonderful tournament. But how can you even hold a U14 tournament when every '96 in the state was in New Hope this weekend?

Centennial won U12A and came in second at U14A. Apparently their U10A team also won their district. If anybody has a run in the future in HS that might be dominating, maybe it would be them. But they've always had very good youth teams and don't quite match the success at the Varsity level.

I think you have a score wrong--MN Score Teal 10 Blizzard 0.
As far as I know all the MN Score teams are undefeated so far.

All of them except Tartan and Chisago. If I heard right, they both had a couple A-type players but let them waive out to other programs.

Could be because the travel is much better. D3 to Stillwater, WBL, NSP, and Forest Lake is ugly. D2 Girls last year didn't want D3 in League 2 and the compromise was that they only played each other once.

I appreciate your input - I just feel that the proliferation of all the so called AAA teams have bastardized the true meaning of AAA. When you speak to true AAA organizations around the country - they do understand who the legitimate AAA teams are so I do understand it and they just chuckle at what...

• Clean equipment for each time on the ice.

Hmm, the cheapest services I've seen are about $60 per set of equipment. Holy Crap! This season is going to cost me $5400 just to clean the gear!!!!

I was just thinking that the Twin Cities could really use a 37th spring/fall AAA hockey club.......

A few observarions: Many parents have their girls play Mites/Squirts because they don't trust girls' hockey to be competetive. Once their kid skates with some good U10s in the offseason they're sold quickly on the move to the girls side. The only examples I've seen lately (say the last 3 years) of g...

Shouldn't it be Ice Does?

yea - Highland Park is real diversifed - the increased number of catholics and lutherans has really changed the demographics :lol: Over the past 4 years - since the downturn in property values across the country, The Highland Park area in St. Paul is one of only areas in the entire country that has...

From what I can see - St. Paul Hockey - at least in Highland - is not suffering. If I'm correct, I'm pretty sure that the Highland Park area is undergoing the same demographic changes that have occurred around the rest of St. Paul. It just isn't apparent yet. So while things seem peachy now, it may...

I know that three, maybe even four girls on the U14 AAA Bulldogs are 96's and are dominating at the 95 level. #2, #9 and #5 are their numbers. Dominating? The same U14 Bulldogs that went 1-3 in the Easton Cup? I know who you're talking about, and they're good players, but to use your definition, th...

No, I don't think Duluth had a 12A team--the tournaments I remember they played as a B team. They weren't in the Olympic region 12A tournament, which is hard to avoid since there are so few A teams in that region.

My opinion: If an association offers a U12A team for a 7th grader or a U14A team for an 8th grader, I can't think of a good reason for a kid to play JV. Two programs that I know of, Roseville and Stillwater, have the 'no middle-schoolers on JV' rule (IMO all schools should have this rule, with excep...

This isn't my bag, and who can tell if a team is going to be great, but:

EP
Lakeville North
Stillwater
Edina
Centennial
Roseville
Wayzata
Burnsville
Mpls. Park
Anoka?
Blaine?

None of the tournament locations are posted on the MH website yet. I'd bet anything that EP will win the U12A State Tournament in 2010. I would have bet anything at this time last year that Lakeville would win it in 2009. They finished 4th. Either I don't have a clue, or it's a good thing there's no...

Rumor: The Stillwater board is foisting a professional relationship between the Association and Edge Hockey Inc. upon its members. The Board does not feel there is a conflict of interests in the fact that the Association president (as well as Housley and company) are owners of Edge hockey. Wow! That...
