Wait. There's an "advising group" focused on unhappy high school players? yowza ...talk about a racket Please tell me this isn't a thing and you're just joking Parents....If you have an advisor and your kid isn't on central scoutings top 100 list, you are crazy...And if you are paying this...

Spread is right The only way to stop this recruiting is for families (and teams) to get busted and lose eligibility....I would love to see a school get the death penalty for recruiting these kids ...It would pretty easy to police (ie knock on doors) but MSHSL is afraid that a family that can afford ...

Yes EP will never go back to its glory years of winning unless this new coach can recruit like a SEC football coach. My thoughts are the AD made a huge mistake with this hiring and the initial reaction will be more abandonment by key families. EP families probably wanted a "higher profile"...

Spread....

The last time ???

You act like 2021 was 50 years ago....

Does it really matter who EP hires? Sounds like this group of parents (and lets by honest, ALMOST ALL PARENTS TODAY) are going to try to run the coach out on the first day their little Billy isn't on PP1 !!!

I agree..And look at the last four years Lee is forced out Kids leaving early, kids moving to other programs... Twigs is forced out Doesn't take much to look at the parents and say WHAT RIP EP....Stick tap to the city...Other than Edina or Hill, it has to be one of the more consistent winning AA pro...

I stand corrected...looking those kids up, I see now that a couple of those kids did actually play a couple years for Twigs before leaving early for juniors. But can we at least agree that what Twigs was handed roster wise was nothing close to what Lee use to have almost every year... Twigs did lose...

It looks like the perfect storm hit Twiggs 1. He didn't recruit when even schools like Shakopee has figured out that it's the only way to win. 2. He lacked numbers - EP's program has half the kids playing hockey as they did during the Rau, Leddy, Casey era... 3. Did Twiggs ever get to coach a legiti...

Thanks My guess is some kids did it legally and some just skirted the rule that MSHSL league has no desire to enforce. I think if today you went to the "new" addresses of some of these kids, their "new" house's driveway will not be plowed Go to their former address, not only is t...

Can someone smarter than me come up with these numbers For each town playing in the state, list the number of kids that moved into their program after Bantams For the private schools, list the numbers of kids that played for another high school team before transferring to said private school It woul...

Here is what I think you will see 1. Less American's wearing division one college hockey jerseys over the next few years..... 2. As it relates to Minnesota High School hockey, You will probably see more and more kids leave High School early now as dad pushes their kids up to Major junior. And for th...

I'm perplexed why the Canadian Universities continue to sit on their hands...This is no brainer for them to jump forward and build a great D1 level hockey conference that could mirror what we have in the Unites States. in 4-5 years, you could see the US D1 champion play the champion of the Canadian ...

AD's and school boards simply fold when it comes to todays parents running the show. Administrators know conflict is the one thing that may disrupt their cozy chair/job title . Yes St Thomas got a great replacement. But didn't Randolph get the job in a very similar fashion (parents whispering in the...

Great story Spread...But to clarify I never said you're a moron if you pass on NDTP jersey....51 said you''d be complete moron if you didn't take one.. I simply pointed out that Minnesota kids don't necessary need it....That it's not all duckies and bunnies.... But you are right ....Goalie's are alw...

All good stuff and let's keep this a healthy discussion. The NDTP for all it's "perceived" value does have stories of kids going there with big dreams only to find themselves watching games from the sidelines or playing 4th line minutes. NDTP is a development program but that doesn't mean ...

Do you realize you just called a ton of great Minnesota hockey players complete morons

If you're a parent of one of these kids understand this 1. You don't need the NDTP Program - Your Kid doesn't need the NDTP program 2. Do you really want to ship your 16 year old kid off to live with strangers in Michigan? 3. Did you just watch the High School State tournament? I guarantee you your ...

I think what some people are saying is the rich are getting richer. We can agree or disagree but those that can and will recruit are going to have a huge advantage over the rest of the teams who can't or won't. But we all have to admit Minnesota HS hockey is in a transition from what used to be a zi...

Slap...If I drive 95MPH down I35W and don't get caught, then I must not be speeding...Listen I have no dog in this fight other than I am so disappointed in what Minnesota High School hockey has become. But do you really really think 8-10 families all sold their houses right around the exact same tim...

Slap Shot I think you have your answer Last night..7-0 after two..shots 44-4 yet in the third the top guys are out there again including getting points very late in the 3rd Can we all just all admit it now Tonka recruits...Tonka's coach could care less about sportsmanship let alone what a bunch of u...

The bottom line is the landscape for hockey has changed and for the top teams, it is no longer a community based sport. Coaches are now encouraged to recruit Parents are as crazy as crazy can be...The more time and money they invest, the crazier they become. Setting up a fake address for 6 months is...

Brodz Who's obsessive? 1. The parent for wanting to bust a family for cheating the system? Keep in mind in some cases these parents see this firsthand that the family never moved as they live in the same old neighborhood as the cheating family and see them coming and going like its no big deal 2. Th...

I think the head coach from Tonka still thinks he's coaching at the college level and recruiting is just part of his job...But with that, I guarantee you hockey schools have A LOT to do with parents getting together and planning these all star teams. If you are a parent who's kid lost a jersey to a ...

There's no defending the coach on this one guys and please don't give me the old "kids can't stop competing" speech Midway through the 2nd period he should have benched his top 6 forwards and his top 2-3 D. Most coaches will do this on scores that are 7-0, let alone 12-0. The fact that the...

I like all the ideas. But lets be honest...The people that run the MSHL are not smart enough, nor do they care enough to put this much energy into improving hockey. In their eyes, the state tournament is perfect and to some degree it's hard to argue with them if you walk down the streets on a Friday...
