Anyone hear about a large number White Bear players being suspended?

They did lose to Woodbury- top team in the conference. The coaches finally toned down the long shifts and look what happened. They played good and almost took down Woodbury. the players do much better when they aren't so gassed. Just imagine the last month if they had been doing the same thing again...

All I can say is way to play boys. Great game. Lots of players = lots of energy = lots of action.

If the long shifts were working for the benefit of the team, this discussion would not be taking place. Do you really believe that the quality of scoring chances are what this game is all about?

Mostly defense, not so much with the forwards. You don't even see that in the NHL. I wish some other coaches or players would give some input on this.

This is not about any of that. I'm more worried that my kid is losing his love for the game. I think most of the parents are concerned about the here and now. We have never interferred with a coach of any sport in our lives. No phone calls, no emails, nothing- but these kids need help now. They are ...
