50% of the Feb b-days are holding back but none of the January.

The kid just wants to play with his class!

You guys ok with Feb 1? My Neighbor said that would be best for him...something about his kid not being emotiunally ready to tackle the rigors of afternoon kindergarten.

The numbers are not accurate. The only accurate numbers are those from the MN Department of Education which show that virtually all children enter kindergarten at age 5. Appendix D Delayed entry into kindergarten is a myth - it does not happen http://education.state.mn.us/mdeprod/groups/EarlyLearnin...

Ppg- Perceived personal gain cannot be the litmus test for making wholesale rule changes. I understand that you favor June 1 because you believe it provides an advantage to your Son. However, MH is obligated to apply a higher standard. Changing the cut-off date is not an effective strategy in age gr...

JSR The debate centered around the regisitration deadline is not a real issue - the proposal has been put forth largely by one individual looking to create an advantage for his own kid who happens to have a June birthday. Sports governing bodies realze that changing the cutoff date perpetuates relat...

Set the date to June 1 --- Helps My kid. Hurts No ONe. (and if it did I would not care)

JSR - "the masses" do not exist . This was an early cornerstone of the June 1 fraud.

The myth started to unravel with the MN Dept of Education reply many pages ago.

I believe the June parents conceded somewhere around page 17

The committee behind the Participation Rule is the same group responsible for the June 1 charade?

The Board can't support June 1. They realize it redefines who is born late in the competiton year. June 1 only shifts the effects of relative age and they don't have just cause to suport it.

minnesotahockey.org The Minnesota Hockey Age Classification was discussed at the Minnesota Hockey Summer Board Meeting on June 26th and 27th. The basis of the Planning Committee discussions was the recently conducted survey that involved parents of Minnesota Hockey players with June birthdates. In t...

I'm not necessarily for or against June 1 Obviously any move away from the the start of school (September 1) will reduce the number of kids that can play with their classmates. I'm not sure thats a good thing Thats implicit - data is not needed for that. Just because you think it will benefit your k...

and nobody had an inckling that this giuy was making this stuff up?

and now he has his own survey?

Its unbelievable

It took me less than 15 minutes to find the NCES and MDE stats....MH does no due dilligenece before they post?

The July 1 birthday was what USA Hockey went to, so ask them why,MN Hockey moved back from Sept 1 and also the birth year also was changed to match USA Hockey. The season for Mn Hockey starts Sept.1 and ends in March. So if an age change is needed then Sept 1 but also change the birth year to the w...

Here's some facts relating to cutoff dates and relative age , which is more important to starting something than actual age ... Let's examine 3 different cutoff dates and kids starting school/hockey this season - the only 3 hat have any merit. By birth year, by school start and by school end. By Bi...

The data and now, the "new data"., ..where can it be found?

Please be specific; Publication, Date, Author, Volume etc.

Thanks

But our highly scientific survey showed that Minnesota Hockey is vastly different in terms of demographics from the results found in the montains of data that already exist.

That is apparently the forthcoming "real data" referred to by MH in the Age Update.

[ i]No change in the Age Classification start date of July 1st for the 2010-11 season The Minnesota Hockey Board of Directors is currently considering a change to the Minnesota Hockey Age Classification. Currently the Age Classificationyear is from July 1st – June 30th. The change being considered ...

Current data screams that the date really has to be June 1. What Data?????? Regarding your supposed "Complete Enrollment Numbers" The Minnesota Department of Education does not release data beyond that which is published. Specifically, the MDE does not release detailed Date of Birth infor...

this guy presents a bunch of questionable data to the Planning Committee at the Winter Meeting and now they are santioning a survey to confirm or deny? look at the meeting minutes..."a lot of discussion about where the data came from and if its accurate" Brutal. Maybe he should pay for the...
