Does this mean if MN votes NO and USA hockey ratifies this, checking will still be allowed in MN or does it simple mean MN has made it's disagreement with the proposal known, but checking will be eliminated? The reason I ask is because of how this affects tournaments and the sanctioning of them. I w...

Undefeated, no ties. Have scored 293 goals, let in 16. That team Is clearly heads and tails above everyone else! Are they even having fun anymore or is it getting a bit boring for the kids? That team is having sooooo much fun that they can't take it. Just think at 7 years old they get to spend half...

Got a chance to see Edina Play in the Championship. Very impressive. No one can deny the talent they have on that team. I don't care what you think of Edina as a whole, these KIDS rocked. I have seen many Peewee teams that could not hold a candle to the Team play they show and to think, these kids a...

Here is the list of teams for this tournament. Who are the big boppers? ~ Armstrong, Minnesota ~ Andover, Minnesota ~ Bemidji, Minnesota - Host Team ~ Cloquet, Minnesota ~ Crookston, Minnesota ~ Devils Lake, North Dakota ~ Ft. Frances, ON, Can ~ Grand Forks, North Dakota ~ Hastings, Minnesota ~ Herm...

Sportsmanship. Put simply, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. If kids have good role models, i.e., coaches and parents who demand that their players or children take the high road and participate with class, kids will follow the lead. If, however, kids have role models who tolerate bad behav...

I gotta think Luverne from the top half and Kansas City From the bottom half. Too bad KC and Bloomington meet in the first round. I bet they could meet in the ship if in different brackets.

Thoughts?

Pool A:
Albert Lea
Faribult
Sioux Falls
Johnson/Como


Pool B:
Mankato
Dodge County
Omaha
Quad Cities

Anyone in Northwest Minnesota have opinions on the teams in this tournament? Pool 1 Grand Forks Golden Eagles Fargo Raiders Fargo Flyers A Black Minot Sabres Pool 2 Fargo Angels Sartel Sabres Mandan Braves Sioux Falls Flyers I know it is a stretch to really know peewee teams this early in the year, ...

KC was easily the better of the teams. It would be interesting to see what the other teams would have looked like after 25 games under their belt? It is funny how people can never accept the way things played out on the ice and have to degrade anyone that finished above them. You take the way the po...

It is hard to say this is all the Don's fault with the allure of the NHL taking away so many from our ranks. But, ultimately, the standards are high and if he does not meet them, he will surly be replaced. As for replacements, I have had the privilege of watching Kevin Hartzell for the last five sea...

:!: :!: wow ... this is much MUCH! more interesting than the normal Blades VS. Machine VS. Tier IIIII VS. Monopoly VS. ADM VS. should my kid skate 47 hours a week discussion!! :!: :!: I wonder if FSN would televise the next board meeting. :shock: I bet there is a reporter out there though that woul...

If you are willing to Travel a little, the Fargo International Squirt tournament the weekend of February 24th through 27th attracts 128 teams from around the country. Bemedji has a tournament over New Years that attracts a good number of teams. Owatonna has a 3 level Squirt Tournament the weekend of...

These games sound great. I can see how they would benfit any level, but would you start these at the Mite or Termite level, or is this something for Squirts and up?

GReat thoughts! I agree with the small ice 3 on 3's. My son's have participated in a 3 on 3 league in the spring for the last several years. All the pints you make are spot on. I have really enjoyed watching even Bantam and Varsity play this for the exact same reasons. I see stuff happen in those ga...

I thought it would be benificial to start a new thread NOT involving the things that have been beat to death 20x over again. If anyone has versed themselves in the ADM model, what are your thoughts on the model and how it is going to help/hinder players/programs in the future? I have just been brief...

As someone not from the great State of Hockey, it seems like more of a status thing for MN Hockey. Like you are telling the rest of the hockey world, "forget you, we will run things our way and we don't care what the rest of the country says!!" The rest of the country must just be plumb cr...

alsaniti: Can you tell which association it is? Also, any idea the cost on these scans and the effectiveness in having a baseline for kids? Badger, It is actually in Sioux Falls SD. WE got a deal from the local hospital for 300 baseline scans for $400. It also includes 30 post injury exams (which i...

Are there any associations out there taking steps to address concusions? I know ours is paying for every kid in the association to have a baseline concussion test completed to use if/when someone gets a consussion. Anyone have any thoughts on the new helmets (M11, S19, etc.) as far as concussion hel...

So let me get this right, a 13 year old referee is going to have the authority to levee a $300 fine on a team/coach/association. Sounds reasonable to me :wink: Who is going to step up and be the Partent or Responsible party to take all the cell phones and be responsible for the, potentially, thousan...

[quote="ALSANITI Take a look at the Advanced 15 thread. Seems like a strong correlation between AAA hockey participation at a high level and selections for the national camp. AAA isn't the only path, but it's clear that it has a big impact for some. To forestall the "a lot changes from th...

Those are some Classic lines! similar to: Ya my kids would have played with the Blades- but I wanted them to go fishing instead. THe Varisty coach wanted my 8th grader to play varsity- but the practices were too long so we passed on it. I just had to chuckle- when the summer hockey links resort to ...

What 1998 teams have signed up for the Miken Cup thus far? I have not seen a tournament bracket anywhere yet? Wonder if this will be a low or medium level tournament? We are new to AAA hockey so not suite sure. I know all the "big boys" are usually in the cities or Canada, but did not know...
