Maybe the 97 Bulldogs will be competitive at the next tourney. Let the coach and the Min/Wis League know that you are concerned. But beware, will you be happy when they bring in a few ringers and those 3 to 5 "competitive" players end up with less ice time? Make the best out of this, keep...

Re: Top 97 Players

The top 1997 birth year players and goalies come from Canada. Check out the players North of Minnesota. You sound bitter hockeymama323, you should have your child try out for a top Minnesota AAA team or just enjoy where you are playing. There is plenty of top North American hockey talent right here...

hockeymama323 quote I just don`t understand Wisconsin Coach`s intentions for the league. It seems to me that he is not thinking competitively. I have nothing to do with the Min/Wis League, so I have no intentions. Some Min/Wis teams are competitive and many are not. Example 97 Bulldogs, not competi...

Re: noonespcial

Why don't you give the midwest AAA elite league time? Was every other program built over night. Believe it or not, it will take time. I just don`t understand Wisconsin Coach`s intentions for the league. It seems to me that he is not thinking competitively. Hopefully the league will improve as it gr...

I think everyone hopes for that "AAA Utopia", skill development, challenging competition, good refs, nice rinks etc. Do your research on any potential team. Some teams (and some coaches) will give you a sales pitch, it is up to you to ask questions and verify what you are being told. Don'...

I can tell you aren't one of the overzealous parents that ruin this sport for anyone who has to listen to them in the stands or read their posts. If you two are done with the mutual adoration society, how does reading a post ruin the sport? I don`t believe reading a post ruins the sport. Everyone h...

Then the Min/Wisc teams are not what your looking for. Like I stated before, they want kids to have fun, so if you miss a tourney to play Lacrosse or baseball no big deal, but they will find someone to fill in. Good point for all AAA parents, always ask a lot of questions, one of which definitely n...

It is fair from the stand point that a player "pays as he plays" for the cost of that one tourney and the player that "commits full season" pays for the full season and all tourneys. If you are on a Min/Wis team you are aware of this. I understand that..........I just don`t thin...

hockeymama323 - do you know what the Jr Bulldogs/Min/Wis cost are? and who is paying for what? obviously if there were some unfair financial dealings going on, you would see a mass exodus of players from these teams. Yes I know what the costs are. I have done my research. I have also spoke with som...

It's a Minnesota youth hockey board. No need with the constant "we're good because we're Canadian stuff". You need to relax a bit Chuck because I am only razzing about ``Canadians`` And yes it is a Minnesota youth hockey board but if you saw the team roster a week before the tourney then ...

The Bulldogs did extrememly well considering they have only practiced together twice. They will get past the caliber of the Wings thanks to the CANADIAN boys!

For some of you that were not at the Wings tourney.................The wings set up the schedule quite unfair and had the weakest teams in their pool so they could get to the championship. In my opinion it was a fixed tournament so the Wings could sweep each division Northern Wings 1st, Bulldogs 2nd...
