Re: MN MADE SUPER SQUIRTS

Anyone know the number of kids out with concussions playing MN Made Super Squirts? I heard they have quite a few. We had FOUR concussions in our association at the MITE level last year. I'd probably attribute that to a lack of control, both in skating and tripping, with lots of head first into the ...

Re: Made Choice scheduling 20% of practices on an outdoor sh

Kind of goes against one of their biggest selling points. Outdoor ice is too unpredictable to be scheduling practices for late November when most citis that flood their parks don't even bother to try until the middle of December and stop maintaining mid February. I'm curious as to which Choice leve...

Next Big Thing? I don't know about that, but thanks for the plug!! If cost isn't an issue, go to all the tryouts you can.

Sometimes I wonder if being on the super duper AAAAAA teams is more about the parents ego than the kid's "development". I hear that often and think it is mostly an unfair assement. sometimes it has to do with a specific goal, and what type of development path the parents have chosen. Be h...

I concur with InThePipes although from your post it sounds like cost would not be an issue. Coaching and location(@ $4.00/gallon) are huge pluses. Also, take a look at the cost per hour of ice. Look at Legacy cost vs. Miracle cost and the number of hours and Miracle comes out on top. My son is kind...

Re: Which AAA team is best for us?

My first post but I'm really trying to figure out which AAA team would be best for my son's development. I've read a lot about invite vs open level teams and am wondering if it would be better to be on a Top 5 Open Team or play on a less prestigious Invite team? There are a lot of AAA teams out the...
