Just saw this. I completely agree with the guys supporting Jeff Lindquist. He is an outstanding and dedicated hockey coach.

Remember, last time they were at state they lost to a very strong HA team, after Connolly hit the cross bar in the third period. A great game.

Just to be correct about the record: Our 95 Blades were 36-0 in in games in the USA over the last two seasons. We did lose a few games in Canada and some scrimmages in the same stretch. Scott is a great coach. He focuses on development of the whole player. He has trained many NHL and D1 players. My ...

Actually, the Blades encourage inquiries. We have players every year who call us first and end up on the team.

Another way to deal with the relative age effect would be to change the birthdate cutoffs from time to time. In Minnesota, a kid born in Jan-March has an age advantage playing calender year in the summer. Then he has an age disadvantage playing association hockey in the winter, with the July 1 cut o...

Thanks to all our volunteers and to the teams that played. It was a fun weekend.

I do not like to name top Minnesota players, but all the ones you might expect will be there (absent a...

The Golden Walleye hockey tournament is back at Ridder Arena this weekend. This is the only Super AAA tournament in Minnesota. This will be the strongest 95 field in Minnesota this year. The best Minnesota 95 teams are playing (Blades, Breakaway and a combination Iceman/LSS team). Almost all the top...

Also:

-Lakeville is an outlying community

-It is summer, so kids are out laying in the sun (they are out-layers)

-The loudest politician might be out-lying his opponent (he is an out-liar)

I better go back to work.

I was using outlier in way that is consistent but slightly different than Sorno82 stated. An outlier is a statistical anomoly. This can be a kid who is 6'8" (natural) or it cna be a kid who chooses to skate 150 hours every summer (intentional) or combination (a devoted wieightlifter with favora...

I find this conversation interesting. It highlights one conflict faced by outliers. As the outlier parent pushes his kids as hard as they dare to develop them (in hockey, music or whatever) the mainstream parent pushes against the outlier parent, claiming that the outlier is wrecking his kid.
