It's hard to believe it, but the 2012-2013 MJHL season is fast approaching. Lots of new faces in the league this year, including 8 transfer teams courtesy of the GLJHL. As for the Minnesota division, anyone have any early predictions as to how the standings will pan out this season? It seems like th...

After one game I would like to make these changes after looking at the rosters of teams.

1. Owls
2. Northern Lights
3. Crusaders
4. Ice hawks
5. Lakers
6. Ducks
7. Energy

[quote="SWPrez"]So Clipper - are you OK with... The top debate student leaving his poor debate team for a team with the top coach/teacher in the state and excellent connections for college opportunities? His team is weakened while the new team is strengthened. Or the gifted musician, let's...

[quote="jackstraw"]Tiger, and you can fix world problems with what happens in your household, right? LOTS of different circunstances for LOTS of different families.[/quote] Yes, but we are simply talking about transfering for solely the reason of playing hockey. I still dont think that's w...

Well in this situation the transfer would make a lot of sense, but my position still stands. In almost every situation it is best to stay in the current high school you are attending rather than switching for hockey. Yes, in some cases there may be other factors influencing the situation, but if we ...

I seriously doubt there are many kids who would want to switch schools simply because of hockey, especially if they have been in the same school district since they were a kid. It's ridiculous to think that that kid isn't going to want to stay in school with the kids he has grown up going to school ...

I have to agree with the idea that leaving one high school specifically for the reason of playing hockey is flat out ridiculous. There is so much more that is important about high school besides hockey. friends, educational experience, school dances, etc. are all an important part of high school reg...

[quote="huville"]I would put them in Groups... This isn't my order, just the area's I see the team's finishing at. Top 3 Rochester Hudson Owls Rochester obviously always has good talent and is a top notch team. I think Hudson and the Owls could return some really good players which will pr...

Anyone else want to chime in on predictions for the upcoming season now that every team has wrapped up their main camps?

like I said earlier, we should really get back on topic. Anyone have any news??

you're playing kids who are future nahl/ushl/d1 players, they are also the kids you will be playing with against this upcoming season. to pass on that to play in a league like the mnjhl is downright stupid. not to mention these kids will not have weekend fun considering they are traveling all the ti...

If you'll note the original question was which league is better preparation for the high school season. I think it's pretty obvious it's elite d. keep in mind we're talking about the high school season. the mnjhl has it's place but like said earlier it's comparing apples to oranges. they serve a dif...

i've got more ice in my water bottle than you've seen all night buddy. one of my personal favorites that my son told me about.

Getting back on topic... NAHL rosters are starting to be completed. Are there any mn high school players that anyone knows of who have cracked a roster spot??? USHL???

[quote="rudy"]So, you think an Elite D squad (ages 14-16) would defeat an MNJHL team (18-21)? What about practices? don''t MNJHL teams practices far more?[/quote] Absolutely the elite d squad would win. They practice about the same amount, but teams in the mnjhl practice at 6 AM or 7 AM ev...

definitely elite d. Playing against future ushl/college hockey players of your age group is much better than playing against players out of high school who have no offers of any kind, and are most likely at the end of the road for their hockey careers. Plus elite d. is just flat out better hockey, a...

Are there any places that you know of that are offering this for High Schoolers? My son wouldn't be eligible for the bantam/peewee level.

Does anyone know of any arenas that are running open hockey/shinny hockey this summer? Any response is much appreciated.

Does anyone know of any metro ice arenas that are offering summer open ice? By open ice I mean ice that is something like shinny or just show up, and pay. Any response is much appreciated.

clutterbuck-please dont. We are already at a disadvantage with the other forum being closed. Cant we all just agree to use this forum. It has for a long time been the second most established MNJHL forum available, let's keep it that way and not create competitive forums (less people will post if it ...

Never did get registered with that forum (after numerous attempts), but I have been watching what has transpired there recently and I have to say that mod who calls himself "Dad" handled that about as terribly as he could have. Oh well his loss... ' Anyhow on to the mj...predictions for th...

[quote="thebookmark"]I would rather get a cut to the forehead than another concussion...just saying.[/quote] Recent studies have found that no hockey helmet does anything to prevent concussions. All coaches who got certified this year were given a long talking to on the matter. Notice how ...

Yes...unfortanutely the lights are not what I thought they could be. On the bright side, the Lumberjacks have improved vastly. Cant wait for their next meeting, should be a fun game to watch!

[quote="crash"]OMG you really need to get a grip if you think these teams are that close. They play 7 times this season. If the Lights win 3 of the 7 I will admit you are right. If the Lights finish less then 15 pts behind the Hawks I will admit you are right. Hawks won 5-1 shots were 17-4...

Actually I was at the game and the lights' outplayed the hawks' in the first two periods (this is coming from a very unbiased source). Also, yes the missed call in the 3rd period was a goal. Ref was out of position and clearly missed the call. I would know, I was right behind the net when it happene...
