When someone embezels $384K they are not planning on paying it back. There were rumors of this back in Oct/Nov 2011. This event should be publicized to increase the awareness of other organizations to keep an eye open for losers willing to take money from a kids organization or any organization. So ...

Here is a link to the St. Paul Paper with better details on the District 2 embezzlement case. A couple of thoughts. How could nobody (D2) notice $384K missing? Is there not a redundant check or audit? Are there more people involved? Why has there been no communication from D2 or MN Hockey on this su...

Look at the dump in from another perspective. It gives the defensive team possession of the puck with the opportunity to develop a break out and attack through the neutral zone. Is that not skill development? Lining up for another neutral zone face off is not skill development. Retrieving the puck, ...

Below is what USA Hockey Lists as benefits for our $40. USA Hockey is supposed to be care takers of the game, not a Robin Hood Organization taking from one group to give to its own interests. I look through the list and find very little that justifies the money. Certainly appears to be focused on th...

I too found this question to be a manipulation to fit their desires and commented on it as such. Having watched some spring hockey where these non-checking PeeWee players are now completing with larger, faster and physical players all the while skating with their head down because that is what they ...

I am surprised that they did not address the 5 penalty rule before game ejection. Seems to me they would want to remove the repeat offenders... maybe even tailor it to the player prone to boarding, roughing , or elbowing penalties. Of course, the coach can always do this on their own without being t...

Let's not forget the $40 coaching registration fee. Also if you are like me and have multiple kids, if you want to coach the younger ones, you are only allowed 2 re-certifications at level 3 before they force you to get Level 4. Why is this? I am coaching mites, squirts and maybe at the peewee level...

It is absolutely ok to open enroll your child at any age for scholastic reasons. The disheartening reality is that many parents open enroll their child based on the parents irrational belief that their little gretzky is Division 1 or NHL bound. Most are not varsity bound. If the same effort and supp...

Let me get this straight. On top of the 400 hours of volunteer time I put in each winter coaching Mites, Squirts, PeeWee and Bantams, I get the pleasure of spending another 10 to 20 hours online for my level 3 renewal (which I have taken twice) and 4 new age specific training modules. But the good n...

Immediate off-sides does not teach puck control. It teaches that I can get a stoppage and a face-off if I put the puck in the zone when I am in trouble. Then we get to watch the referees skate around and finally drop the puck after teams change lines. Any rule that keeps the game moving is good for ...
