Happened upon the list of the 17's top 54. Just wondering what the process is and what the evaluators are looking for. Anyone know? And to the highest bidder, more of a chance to slide in on the roster. boy a and boy b pretty much equal goes the boy onto the roster with more money and influence fro...

How many kids from the Edina combine got drafted? Would be interesting to know The Edina camp was for '00-'01 birthdates, so none were selected this year, though obviously that wasn't the goal of the camp, since '01s can't even play junior hockey next year, and no '00s are going to play in the NA e...

I keep coming back to big picture. How is it possible that Blaine had no representatives on the 16 team, when their bantam team was rated number two in the state. and they split with Minnetonka (along with a tie), which was the most dominant statewide Bantam team in recent memory . Seems almost imp...

Any reason why they have the lengthy HP16 tryout process right after they decide on a national roster? Wouldn't this process be a better way to put all players under the microscope? Seems backwards.. YHH also tweeted that the Blades 16U team won the season series over National Champ SSM. Most of th...

Curious where this legislator lives and what kind of transfer issues around his kid/program or constituents kid/program initiated this? Also curious to see if it happens. With only this limited info, I think in theory it's a good idea. Thoughts? Dettmer is from Forest Lake and a big wrestling guy. ...

Also note the backup goalie got taken out with an injury vs Hill Murray on Tuesday, too. And wasn't he the back-up of the back-up?

Kallestad was the kid injured in the car accident. He was back and was the goalie that got injured against Hill-Murray on Tuesday.

In regular season or for the year?

40 in regular season, four in section playoffs, eight in the state tournament for 52 total.

Central Scouting mid-terms rankings come out soon. Likely going to be a big gap between Tufte and Graham/Mattson/anybody else.

I got a feeling Noterman wins it this year. He was great in the Elite League, and he looks awesome to start the season, so far. Taking nothing away from him, but regardless whether he has a HUGE year or not, he is on same team as Tufte who is likely the favorite and writers/voters etc won't give hi...

It's a $2 million non-refundable deposit to present a proposal to the NHL. $500 million expansion fee if the NHL actually accepts it. Good luck to them raising those funds.

Observations... You'll never make everyone 100% happy with every selection. The truth is, there's not a whole lot separating many of these kids. I will say, even if you disagree with who the volunteers selected, there was also at least half a dozen D-1 head coaches/assistant coaches, nearly every U...

Kids that went to NTDP Eval Camp aren't playing this weekend.

Tron wrote:I noticed there is not if at all any Edina kids on the HP17's/16s why is this?

They're still part of Section 2 for this event. There will be plenty, especially for the 16s, when that roster is posted.

Silly to even discuss this before free agency starts this summer.

Yeah, this isn't pretty, but it's a glaring display of media mongers doing their thing. Seriously, did Zurowski really think the f-bomb needed to be used!? Seriously...?

Maybe he should have changed some other words in that direct quote to make Pauly sound more reasonable too.

Here's a novel idea. Kid cellies way to much in front of opponent's bench. Kid's coach sits him for a period or two or for a game. Kid quits being an idiot. Yeah, that was the MSHSL's plan. Last year, coaches were supposed to police excessive celebrations and sit their players if necessary. The pro...

The box score for that game is completely messed up. The points given to Garrett should go to Dylan. Garrett didn't even play in the varsity game.

Worth pointing out that Hill's starting goalie saw 15 shots in the first period, compared to the back-up who saw nine shots over the next two periods.

Begley is probably the better option in the long run for Hill. Their team just needed a wake-up call after a bad first period, and I'd say it worked.

Twenty-minute periods is a bad idea. Every coach skates their top line into the ground. There are kids playing too many minutes in a 51-minute game as it is. There's no reason to believe those extra nine minutes would go to third and fourth liners, unless we're talking about there potentially being ...

I hope the *his* opinion is for the guy that wrote the article and not me Puck! But no 99 list is complete without the big AP from SSM. Anybody who skips his name is no hockey expert! My son has played with him many times over the years and he is a dominant player. The opening of the article, as we...

Is he doing before and after or full season in Fargo?

Before and after. He was back playing with the Blades tonight.

Jaycox has improved a lot since last season. He definitely belongs there.

B-E U16s aren't playing. A second team from the MNEPDL is taking their place.

Anything lately on Ras?

Rasmussen will play AAA in Colorado next season. I've heard a rumor that Holy Family is going to have a pretty well-known goalie transfer in to replace him, however.
