Have we been ripped off?

My son tryout for the Ice Edge. We were very pleased to be offered a spot on the Ice Edge Elite. After paying our deposit I have since found out that there are four "Elite" teams at the same age level. How Elite can the teams be? Since tryouts I have run into a couple of families that also...

It has been said a number of times that a simple attendance would work fine. But Hewitt wanted to try and shut Mn Made down. This was clear. Minnesota Hockey through Brad Hewitt was trying to use their Non-profit monopoly put Bernie out of business. What choice did he have. He is going to protect hi...

So, I guess Terry Moore will most likely show his face downtown on Friday at the Federal court House Room 13E at 1:30pm. Just to kill some time.

MN Made attornys have a signed statement from past Distric 6 president Art Cobb stating that he was in a meeting where Brad Hewitt said that they where going to go after B...

I know the Machine organizers have sent more than one proposal to the Brick tournament officals stating that they would be very open to a "Minnesota Brick Team." This would be a team that would not have the Baldes or Machine name on it. The Blades have fought this each time it has been put...

My statement stands: Ask the kids. I see happy kids and happy families at MM. I see kids improving in hockey skills and learning something about character. Of course it is impossible to make everyone happy, but the program just continues to grow every year so there must be more pleased with the deve...

Ever think the "secrecy" is because no one knows what you are talking about? Curtains at the rink keep kids from focusing on their dads watching and let the coaches coach. The kids come out of locker rooms smiling and love the teams they are on. The nonsense that is spewed on this forum ab...
