Teams are selected by coach ballots and nominations sent out to coaches in some fashion and accumulated by Kernz companies. Please do not bash any player who has been selected. Although there are some problems with the process that lead to maybe not the best players being selected. The players chose...

A couple of my opinions. At the beginning of the year I felt Elk River was by far the favorite for the section with East losing 10 seniors and Elk River returning excellant strength at goal, defense and veteran scoring forwards, I do not believe I am alone in this thought. Andover is another team th...

Nonamer

You stated that you know a player who was offerred a spot at NDTP, turned it down and received an automatic birth. Some one made a point that all players who received a tryout received an automatic bid. Are you aware of any players who tried out for NDTP and did not receive an automatic invite?

This league is great, picking the teams is extremely difficult, anyone who thinks that they are not going to miss some players is out of there minds. Could the league improve sure but I believe they are trying to do the right thing 98% of the time. The one area I dont like is having agents and coach...

BYW, if Tardy played juniors last year and was going back to Juniors this year it still wouldnt make Randolph right or wrong. UMD doesnt need Tardy to come in this year and probably would have sent him back to Jrs regardless of where he played last year.

NONAMER, I think your point about what Randolph said is misinterperted and you continue to take your shots at Randolph about what he said. I think his point is that Tardy progressed as much last year toward his career as if he would have played Juniors and that a kid doesnt need to skip his SR year ...

Nonamer, I am not trying to pick an argument but I think a more important point that Randolph wanted to emphazise is that playing at East will prepare you to play D-1 hockey just as well as leaving high school EARLY. I dont think it is fair to use a graduating senior going to play juniors as your be...

If we want to talk about Forbort and the East power play here is my 2 cents worth. Randolph I do not believe has a lot of say in who plays defensive partners as well as who are the D on the PP, he leaves this to Trachsel the D coach. I believe moving Forbort up on power play was a good move as Tardy...

I thought the championship game was an entertaining and very high paced game.

Moberg the goalie from Forest lake gave 7A-AA the chance to win he was outstanding all...

East's D

I agree with the comments on Jake Williams. East's top 4 D are all very good. Derek Forbort is big, quick and has excellant vision to go along with very good skills, his partner Al McLean compliments him well and moves the puck extremely well, Joe Arbour is big, strong and fast. He might be the key ...
