3 years ago Edina 12A won state.
2 years ago the 12A state champs that moved up to 14A won state.
1 year ago it was a wild finish for the 14's, where they won consolation.
Another testament to the hard work of the girls, coaches and parents. Look forward to seeing you again in the summer.

They'll have no 12UB team.

So all 22 kids would be on an A team (assuming some kids don't pursue other options).

12U in Prior Lake

Heard there's 22 skaters for 12A's in Prior Lake? 4 kids will have sit each game. How could this possibly happen when there was a merger opportunity on the table? Just in case any of those girls have any second thoughts about even playing this season, Minnesota Made has many programs which could pos...

Not being much of a player myself, THEY ARE MADE. I've been coaching for some time now and I'm really getting good at it (skating and coaching).

They say about 10 years to master anything and I've only got about 3-4 more to go.
