O - I too believe in multi sport athletes. But that does not mean you can't find ways to remain invoved in some way shape or form. I do not believe ANY 1-4 week program/camp in the middle of summer is enough for kids to maintain the skill they developed in the winter months. That includes Minnesota ...

No political connections; I am not trying to pick a fight either but you have experienced something I never have.

The other "first question" to ask is why does the Herb Brooks foundation allow a guy to continue to create a program for his own kids benefit? Seriously if HERB was alive there is NO WAY he would endorse an ELITE program. Herbs dream was to broaden the base of the pyramid. More players = B...
