[quote="BlackTape"] Sauk Rapids and Chisago Lakes will be sand bagging again this season at the B1 level. quote] Really? Sand bagging? Or, do they have a good grasp on what level their kids can compete? If they were to play A, where would you rank them? If anything, there are a couple of A...

This is just a guess, with the season not officially started. I heard Princeton and SLP are fielding A teams this year so I added them as well 1. COON RAPIDS 2. ELK RIVER 3. CENTENNIAL 4. BLAINE 5. ST CLOUD (if they keep their players) 6. ANDOVER 7. ANOKA 8. ROGERS 9. CHAMPLIN PK 10. PRINCETON 11. ...

[quote="sorno82"] Not sure I understand. The more you have participating, the higher level you can play. [/u] Therefore, I would think it would encourage associations to recruit players so they can play at a higher level. quote] Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner. Participation is the key....

Luckily he had made the team long before those stupid try-outs happened. LOL! Just enough gas to start the flames roaring higher again. Very nice. I do have a question for those who think the PWA teams are essentially known before tryouts (and I'm not disagreeing). What do you do if you've recently...

SD Guy,

How many people would have ever seen the article but for you putting up a link? Feel better now?

I agree with your take on their literary talent. The image of 10 year olds salivating to avenge a loss... whew... heady stuff.

IM - That was a pretty short sabbatical. Welcome back.

Are tryouts completed for all levels? If so, do they post Rosters? Yes they do!! They post them on every NHL and NCAA draft & recruiting board.:P :P :P Puck, Like JudgeandJury, you also seem to be sensitive about topics like MM, Chaska, velocity, etc. I'm not sayin',,, just sayin'. Are you rela...

[quote="Night Train"]You twisted that hockeyboys. Part of what you say may be true but I think there's other factors as well. I think more and more people are lazy and don't want to contribute and volunteer as much as in the past. People are leaving parenting and the joys of being involved...

Should MH hold a special meeting on the new rule? Would those with concerns show up? An idea has been proposed to simplify the rule and at lesat one individual has called for a special meeting. Should MH hold a special meeting on the new rule? Yes. It would be an opportunity for those who drafted i...

This could be a mess. A 1st year squirt whom lives in Lakeville but attends Farmington Public schools, because that is his district, can play hockey for Lakeville Hockey Assoc? What about a 2nd year squirt that already played on year with Farmington Hockey Assoc? I'm wondering how many families wil...

I understand why it would be nice for N.B. to co-op now, but when they get their own arena they will have prime ice hours. :lol: :lol: :lol: Prime ice hours? If NB does anything in the next few years, it will simply be an outdoor rink with no refrigeration. They won't have any "prime ice hours...

Dear Campus Community: Thursday, May 14 [2009] the North Dakota State Board of Higher Education passed the following unanimous motion: "Consistent with the terms and conditions of the October 26, 2007 Settlement Agreement entered into with the NCAA, the Board directs UND officials to retire the...

I personally would love to see these two co-op at high school level, the merge last year was a great thing at both bantam a and peewee a, I can speak from participating there, my friends on others were pleased but there are always some of course who were not and most of that reason is their kid did...

jancze, Your original question was along the lines of whether the time is coming when kids forego winter hockey, and play summer hockey instead on teams of their choosing. I'd say that may be the case for a few, but it's not likely as a trend. Kids will more likely choose to skate year-round, rather...

Good article Royals Dad. Thanks.

For me it's Southern Comfort. To this day.

dangles, nobody questioned lee about his football abilities. Trust me, just because you are a great high school football player doesn't translate to college, lee had 1 scholarship football offers, maybe coaches saw something in his film. For as big as he is he DOESN'T play to his size in either spo...

Nummy Orange Kool-Aid 12 months a year. Have a great time making your kid chase YOUR DREAMS , make sure to post us in 10 years to let us know where they are all play division one at or better yet probably the Pro's? :roll: :roll: :roll: Hey "Total" There is no better memory in life than p...

It seems like a round about way for MM to get a year round team at the 1999 level. Not sure why this would really surprise any one. I'm surprised it took this long. Someone may want to let the local associations and Squirt coaches know that they are going to be playing without some of their best pl...

Sent you a pm.

Think about the question posed above for a second. "Why is there an 8 year old that can't stop both ways or crossover backwards?" Are we saying that kids need to be proficient skaters by the age of 8 or they should simply forget the sport of hockey? What if a kid doesn't start skating in ...

Now let's hear from the grownups about why it's impossible for associations to be flexible with mites -- you know, rules and registration deadlines that stand in the way of common sense, and limit opportunities for 8 year olds to fall in love with the sport -- simply because it's too much work for ...

What expectations do you have for your 5-8 year old's coach? My son is almost 6 and this year I hope his coach will continue to work on skating but will also try to begin to teach him some passing and stick handling.
