Yes, Benny add him to the roster and I completely forgot about Johnny Austin. I have heard a few people say his game has blossomed on the blue line. You are right Dubbs, I got lost in the thread with the Spehar and Mr. hockey. I enjoyed all 9 pages. So now what do you think, I like the Hornets chanc...

Grant, take a bow you were too good Saturday night.

Since this thread is all things Besse and the latest tangent seems stale:

Who wins State:

Edina: Moore, Labosky, Commers, Lauth

Wayzata: Besse, Horton, Opperman, Lucia

3 years ago Edina 12A won state.
2 years ago the 12A state champs that moved up to 14A won state.
1 year ago it was a wild finish for the 14's, where they won consolation.

West Rink controller is also in the TC/PB area. At the start of the season the controller was not connected because I did the clk and couldn't set the hour clk. I believe the controller is there and was there for the BB1 game mentioned earlier. We had a BB1 game at BIG where the hour clk wasn't set ...

Fred, My point about the clock not working was that you don't know why the clock wasn't on. I'm pretty sure the clock is in working order. I figured you were talking about the BB1 game. As for that game, the timekeeper didn't know he had to set the clock. Even though Valley was pressing an effort wa...

Fred, Which games are you referring to? I couldn't find anything in the D6 rules that explicitly states the off-ice officials are responsible for the hour clock. Did a find on "off-ice" and "hour clock". It does state that if a hour clock is unavailable then the on-ice officials ...

Jancze5 - I could not agree with you more. A lot of times, kids on the 3rd line are not getting shorted because of effort and they are not SLACKERS 3G. They are getting shorted by the coach for the sake of shorting the bench. If it means win and play more or go home that's one thing, but otherwise r...

Bring back checking in squirts like it used to be. The kids are generally smaller and the speed is slower. There is less disparity due to puberty with 4/5 graders vs. 6/7 graders. Why or when it was changed I don't know. When I was a kid it was checking from the start. We didn't have mites, it was s...

I don't care so much that STA is in D6 hosted by PL. I just pointed out the fact that the two are intertwined financially. I am more concerned about the process of the host agreement. Is this something that is voted on by all members of D6 or does the DD just approve the agreement. The D6, 8/08, mee...

No one's offened and even if they were it's just an opinion. Just giving a view from the other side of the fence. While Edina could support B1/B2 or B/C I don't think it can be supported statewide.

I agree doglover except I don't think they have to be equal. If 16 -30 can compete that's good. If not then they shouldn't have 2 A teams. The association should be able to field their best team for a run at state at the levels that have state. Two balanced teams might both do great or they might bo...

No coachj I didn't assume it to be personal. As you probably figured, my kids skate for the EHA. I really don't think it's a matter of balls to have more than 1 A team. I think there is always more to the story than meets the eye. See my post about balancing the teams. All that D6 should be concerne...

Elloit, Thaks for clairifying the Fire organization for me. I thought they were an umbrella for MN kids to play Tier I hockey. What I can't figure out is why these WI kids had so many practices at MM on school nights during the season? Back and forth to Hudson must be 45 minutes each way without tra...

I'm happy for any kid who works hard to achieve a set goal, but it's also like looking at someone else's vacation pictures.

On the B1 comment, why not let B1 teams play A teams or enter A tournaments during the year if the parties involved are in agreement?

If there is so much admiration for the Fire why not sanction them in MN. I don't see that much difference between the Fire and MM other than MM has their own rinks. Is the Fire a loosely organized group or does someone hold the naming rights, owns, the organization?
