I knew the name change was coming regardless. Deceiver Academy, Cheater Academy, etc. was just too easy. The Devolution? Convolution? Dissolution? This name is harder to have fun with. On a serious note, has there been any news from the MSHSL regarding last years debacle and why it took so long for...

Last winter during a snow day my daughter and I were at the VH Bubble I was hitting her fly balls just to do something different. They were playing soccer
When I asked the instructor if they had school he said yes. He told me it was their PE period this was about 12:30 PM.

Me too coachK. Zamboni I think you lost us when the ideas you put forward for "saving girls hockey" based on your positive experiences on the girls side and the success of your D1 daughters seemed to be mitigated just A BIT when we now find out the truth of your experience and association...

Kind of ironic you nominated #1 from Highland isn't it? I agree with nevertoomuchhockey. Really??? Obviously this was a dumb topic I have been to a lot of u 12 games this year and every goalie that has been any good has been a 2nd year except highlands I was just curious about what other people had...

WOW, this is a first I am speechless. The truth of the matter is that clapper is the girls director of the association that we left if you look at the numbers there are no u-10 teams and no u-8 teams it is true we left the association because of a bogus tryout situation where there were four goalie...

I have had three girls play girls hockey and one is in her senior year at a D1 school. My youngest is now playing youth. Here are the changes in girls hockey that I have noticed. 1. Large associations are selecting A teams with 10-13 skaters. 2. Goalie shortages and no goalie development 3. Even wi...

Who are the best 02 goalies in the state? if you don't know the girls names just name the association. Kind of ironic you nominated #1 from Highland isn't it? I agree with nevertoomuchhockey. Really??? Obviously this was a dumb topic I have been to a lot of u 12 games this year and every goalie tha...

Being boys hockey is what drives the association and brings in revenue What? Not true. They usually pay the same amount. I understand your comment but that's part of the problem. Grow both sides. Often budgets are divided by level, or teams, so the revenue is based on numbers. You recruit more girl...

Being boys hockey is what drives the association and brings in revenue maybe all of Minnesota should offer no fee's if girls play girls hockey up to u-12. Once you get to that level then start charging. Associations would have to eat the ice bill It would mean a major fundraising effort by associati...

This is an important discussion. Keep it focused on girls hockey. Good ideas but really there is only one task and the rest takes care of itself. Each association must recruit between 20 and 30 new mite girls each year. In some instances it's to late for your daughter. Make sure future families of ...

Every child is different, Prep school, playing girls hockey was best for her. My other daughter played girls in Minnesota and won 2 National Championships in college. I have been involved with girls hockey for 17 years and alot of the things you suggested that needs to be fixed has been going on as...

I guess you would know then, just repeating what I have heard. Sorry. But there is a difference between being a girls playing with boys. My goaltender daughter recieved her education at a prep school out of state because she was a sucessful Bantam A goalie. CoachK, I guess I don't understand your d...

I believe Hannah Brandt played boys until she attended Hill Murray. I was told sometime ago by a UMD coach and scout that a girl playing with the boys at a high level reaises the schools interest level. Kelly Pannik for example was the top player on her boys team until she attended BSM. That is rea...

Here is how to fix it. 1. All A rosters 15 skaters two goalies and roll the lines and alternate goalies. Develop all of the kids. 2. Find female non parent coaches. 3. Redraft bylaws of each association not to allow girls to cross over and then be willing to stand by the rules. or eliminate the gir...

Blueback - how is playing hockey with the boys keeping her from playing high school hockey? Did you mean you and she chose to keep her in bantams rather than a 14u girls or jv/varsity hs program for developments sake? Legal - just because its "social" and/or "fun" doesn't take a...

The problem as I see it is we as parents think we know best for our children as players. Both boys and girls. Our D1 daughter once told me that association hockey was for playing with her friends and having fun and the summer was for the work. Which is just the opposite of what I grew up with. With ...

You make some good points. I'm always glad to hear a parent who helped their kid get to college hockey has more kids coming up. I have a son and a daughter and while I treat them differently in most respects I have found in hockey that hasn't always proven right. Let me ask you a few questions abou...

I think you're caught in the youth hockey trap. You took a jab about your goalie being in 5th grade on another thread. However, the reality is, if she's an 02, you're looking for a 12U team, and the ones listed are probably set as of MEA weekend, if not 2 or 3 years prior to that. Of course, if she...

What are the best triple A programs for girls I have heard the Blades or OS

Highland has a great one Number 1

Who are the best 02 goalies in the state? if you don't know the girls names just name the association.
