Select 17 Festival

Good question "shutout", and good point "Sioux Fan" regarding the elite/chosen ones and continued hard work. I think some of these guys that already have deals feel like they don't need to prove anything anymore. <br><br>That's too bad there were so many guys out injured. Did the...

Re: Select 17 Festival

Poorly picked?? You must mean poorly invited to automatically play on the team. Definitely, extremely disappointing! What I've heard is that 9 of these guys were automatically "placed" on this team per USA hockey and the NDTP. As a previous "hot" topic on this websit beat to deat...

Select 17

How sad that this has become so political. Even the coaches who dedicate their time in coaching these Select 16/17's don't have the input that they should. My son made the final 51's as a 16 and had a 100% better tryout at 17's. We were even told by the coach that he was ranked in the top 4 forwards...
