Anyone know the expected timeline for Nationals invites for both the boys and girls?

Based on what? Enrollment? PageStat ratings?

What are the biggest and most beneficial changes that you would suggest?

Wow! MN Hockey representing pretty well this past week at Nationals on both the boys and especially the girls side.

They did this with the boys in the 90s and ditched it ASAP because it sucked then and it would suck now too. Just shrink AA to 48. Or don’t, someone is always going to be the worst team. Before my time, what were the main points that made suck? Also before my time but it basically turned the Tier I...

Good to see a post about this. My opinion is that there shouldn't be "A" and "AA" in girls hockey. Have one division but play for two titles. Take the top 32 teams based on some computer system (what's the one we had around here) and put them in the MSHSL tourney. Then have the ...

Like yes posted above, I would think you would see more D1 schools add hockey. Likely in some of the non hockey areas in the country. Seems like it could be a way to grow the game in the US. Not saying there aren’t negatives in the plan but long term it may be a good decision. Unless all these CHL ...

"They" would tell you that the increased import limits raises the level of play in the league and is better for development. I agree with you though, takes development opportunities from American born players. Then we have: A) Far too many USA Hockey junior teams in existence B) A failure...

“College hockey gets deeper and more Canadian,” said one Hockey East coach ahead of the decision. You know what? Screw that. To think our tax dollars go to support our State institutions and those institutions will now give those hockey opportunities to Canadians. This does nothing but hurt America...

Both leagues will be hit extremely hard with this decision.

Both will be impacted yes, how hard and how quickly are TBD I think.

Let's get this conversation started:

These 8 should be in the mix: Tonka, Edina, HM, Andover, BSM, Cent, MG, MHD

Who are the next handful of contenders?

Now that Elliott has broken the ice...

That would require completely rethinking the Canadian college athletics scheme in a way in which they probably aren't interested in. College sports in Canada is comparable to Division III sports here - no athletic scholarships - and I don't think there is a lot of interest in changing that model. I...

All I see are more Canadian born players choosing the NCAA route if the CHL straight to NHL route does not work meaning less opportunities for American born players to play NCAA hockey. This will hurt American born players. The pool of available hockey players for the NCAA just swelled while the nu...

Remind me of the rationale of only seeding 5 in the first place?

Hard to believe Casey was not also taken as a 17 goalie. He was #1 last weekend followed closely by Conway . They were neck and neck last season as well. I guess they could only take one , very hard choice Ironic they both rotated in goal in the regular season , and will likely both rotate again ne...

In retrospect (or as some predicted), Northfield probably had no business being seeded.

I know some other sports have now gone to seeding all 8 teams. It's been going on forever, but does anyone know the logic around only seeding 5 teams?
