Ask the coach where he fits in. Will he play? Is he likely a fourth liner or a third liner? makes a big difference at some schools with how much playing time you get. If it were my son, and he was an average player, I wouldn't go to either (if it's only because of hockey). I would likely choose a sc...

Jordan is going out east this year for school and to play hockey... Deerfield, I believe. He misses the private school atomsphere and the independence it brought him. Knowing Jordan, I imagine he misses the academic challenge as well... he's an extemely gifted kid. I wish him the best! Good luck Jor...

Ok... I am one of "those" parents! I have let my son make his own choices about whether he wants to stay or leave - he chose to leave because he wanted more. My parenting practices, since he was a baby, have always revolved around this philosophy: "My job as a parent is to raise an i...

Oh... here's another thing... How many 16 year olds are home on a regular basis anyway? Seems to me many are out with their friends, driving around, texting, talking on the phone, going to parties, hanging out in the basement playing video games, having sex, etc... and if they aren't... and need to ...

The argument I was making is that its my opinion that ANY nhl team has a pretty darn good idea what they are doing when it comes to evaluating players. Yes, some are better than others. Leddy was offered a contract because the Hawks felt it was the right thing to do for them! Once again, we can deb...

Some of the same comments made on this thread about the situation (talent, etc) are the same things that had been said at times in the 90s. Some years are better than others for depth of talent. Unless you are new to the block, the predictions of doom and gloom to MN hockey are hardly new. Yet the ...

Minnesota high school hockey runs afoul of the USA Hockey system, it's in fact in direct competition to it at just below USA Hockey's highest level. If you're USA Hockey it works in your favor if both kids are nearly equal to take the non MSHSL kid, then you can point to that as a reason for upcomi...

Shakey, It happens sometimes (a lot in my opinion) that Minnesota doesn't get it right. I don't know about Lucia, but I know it's happened in the past... When USA hockey finds out that a kid was missed, and they think the kid is good enough to be there, they extend the invitation anyways and bypass...

OnFrozenPond, Shouldn't matter. If the best hockey players were chosen to represent Minnesota hockey (the way it's supposed to be), then at least these evaluators could justify their decisions. But by opening it up to some average players just to make them feel good (or let them experience it)... ma...

For some reason, people often think that Shattuck has this "magical formula" for developing NHL hockey players. They don't. They're a school and a business. They take players (sometimes very average players) and give them an exceptional hockey/school opportunity they'll have for a lifetime...
