In some of the previous posts individuals were stating that ref’s need to take responsibility and coaches need to take responsibility…. What about the players? Should they not take responsible for their actions as well? That is why there are rules for the game of hockey to be played the way it was i...

Elite II is no different than another additional hockey activity outside the normal hockey season, weather it be summer hockey camps, a conditioning program, summer hockey league, prospect camp, model camp, exposure camp, Selects, etc. The hockey player will only get out of it, what they put into it...

Take is easy Davey!!!! Everyone is open to their opinion. You are correct, there are a lot of AAA players showing up in the USHL and NAHL drafts and rosters. And I do not argue that they are skilled players. The reason for all the AAA rostered hockey players is because outside of MN there are no goo...

As mentioned above, these are not necessarily the elite hockey players from MN or any other state. The families do however have access to to a lot of money. The kids that play for these AAA u16 and u18 teams pay about $8,000 a season to play. The teams that they play against are from all over the co...

Let's face it, everyone has suggestions but it's his show. If you don't want to buy it, start a new organization and compete with it. Of course, that's what the Elite II sort of has done , but it is not anything close to John's program and never will be. (I can tell stories about that program, but ...

There have been many suggestions made to him on how to improve it. I have personally talked to him about it. He does not listen. It is his way or the highway. Ask anyone arround him. Ask his kids. Like I said above, buy the program from him and run it the way you want. 8) :wink: Let's face it, ever...

Before we blame the “parents” for every coach getting fired or leaving a coaching position let's remind ourselves that in every sport, at every level in every state in every town one or more player parents are not happy with the coach. Now if the coach is honest about each players ability and commun...

Casseau....The answer is simple......Funding! Bantam hockey is funded by the parents of the players which will come out to be $1500 to $3500 a player for the season depending on which association you are playing in and how much money the team decides to spend. High School hockey is funded by the sch...

Just a second thought....just because a player did not make 15 or 16's do not let them give up hope and do not give up on them. Every player is different, They mature and grow at different ages of their life. My son did not make 15's or 16's or play Elite I, but did make 17's. I have seen players th...

Lakeviewing that is one opinion but not very accurate.......check the NAHL teams and look at the number of D1 collage commitments there have been from this years teams! The USHL and NAHL are very close in talent. In the USHL everything is paid for and in the NAHL the only thing you pay for is the &q...

A few of you have posed some interesting suggestions and views on the development of players. I like it, but I also see the challenges of setting up such an association..... The first hurdle would be to get it approved by USA Hockey since they have a say in everything and carry the insurance on play...

I agree with Davey.....If you want to pay the money try one. If your player is two years out and no one has shown any interest in him yet. Just have your player keep training and playing hard. I would expect that your player will get interest from a NAHL team before any USHL. If a NAHL team does not...

Correct Nickel - Players that did not see much ice time in the USHL last year see the writing on the wall and need ice time so they play in the NAHL. Both leagues and all the teams are very well connected. Players are shuffled prior to the draft, during the draft, and all season long until February ...

Another interesting draft outcome this year.....15 mn hight school players drafted (not counting the 5 from Shattuck) and 13 players from last years USHL have decided to play in the NAHL this year. It's amazing that the talent pool has spread out all over the country now. And the number of scouts ar...

Tenders occur prior to the draft. Those players that were on a team last year but were not protected not (tendered) are available to be drafted. That is why you see a few players that were drafted actually came from a different NAHL Team. Those players that were drafted can not tryout for any other ...

Input - The simple fact that there are arenas going up all over the country which allows players all over the country as much ice time and good coaching as MN players. The 2nd fact that MN players do not skate out side as much as they used to in the past. Mostly because city budgets have been cut an...

First, both organizations/teams are very good and you would be lucky to play for either one of them. Secondly all Junior tryouts are money makers, that is one reason why they conduct them. The second reason they conduct them is to find a player they may have overlooked or did not notice during the s...
