Isn't Drew LeBlanc from Silver Bay?

To acknowledge that KP is the head of the coach's association and then suggest that he shouldn't have an opinion about Canadian major juniors is just silly. Especially since he's also a coach/teacher at a college prep school. If the MHSCA doesn't have a "mission" to sit around and argue a...

NO!

NEVER

Why not Herb Brooks did! Everyone wants to be like Herb.

Dropped out. Last I heard working in the SSP stock yards.

With 21 games in the books, here are the final rankings. (SSM not incl.) Goals (Top 15) 1) TJ Moore 19 BSM 2) Bo Brauer 12 Edina 3) Mario Bianchi 12 Holy angels 4) Jack Ramsey 12 Minnetonka 5) Tyler Sheehy 11 Burnsville 6) Dan Labosky 11 BSM 7) Steve Spinner 10 Eden Prairie 8) J.

I would like to see a media member interview the STA staff and ask the question: "You had 9 players in the elite league, why not move up to AA?"

Is Chanhassen playing AA or A this year?

Question: Why doesn't the Elite leagues invite the Minnesota Blades to compete in the Elite 1 and the Elite Development leagues? IMO, it makes sense to give more MN kids some exposure versus the Colorado Rampage. That would be too much of an ego blow to Russo to admit there might be something else ...

What? You're not pumping Chanhassen this year?

Schmidt and Alt played together when they were with the Blades....seems that would be a good fit.

I'm sure thats right up there in MG's "how to pair defensemen" list!

Thats the biggest lie on this board

Speakin' of transfers, anyone give a close look at the benilde-SM names?

Funny. The Blake transfers have to play JV this season but make the Elite League.

Are you sure?

They dont have to sit out. Both got around the rules.

This one is hard to figure. None of these kids will be hurt by playing another year of high school. I'm having a hard time seeing the upside to it. It just makes you wonder if there isn't a reason they all want out. If they are all that good wouldn't you stay and try and win a state title? I know v...

of course...it looks more evil that way

I left out expenses as to not embarrass anyone and because they spend more than they take in by a wide margin...it would have been much more evil that way.

I would say it is a great money maker! You are correct. It is a revenue generator.

The Elite League was only able to fend off the early exits for so long. The dilution in that league will only get worse now considering the financial condition it is in too.

Gopher Blog: Your post makes no sense. You imply that Kloos wasn't taken because of his size, yet Louie was listed at just 5'10"--not much bigger than Kloos, I don't think. I agree with you that a 7th round pick isn't probably ever going to play in the NHL..what is the odds anyone out of the 1...

Not sure what train u just stepped off but there was no one in the coaching ranks that said BSM wouldn't win this year. After the elite league it was consensus they would (and should) win their section as the other schools couldn't keep up recruiting wise Note that I was responding to another poste...

....what really did the BSM coach do? Get 6-7 division 1 players to play together? Obviously the majority of Pauly's coaching peers disagree with you. Not many of the "experts" gave BSM much of a chance to win their section, much less State. And naturally, many of the same "experts&q...

So anyone that has attended, does camp meet claim on Lucia's website? "This year the camp will be entering its 26th year of operation. The goal of this camp is to provide exposure to junior, college and NHL scouts. Every team is coached by an active NCAA college coach and every NHL Team and ce...

While I'm sure there is a better way, no system would be perfect. In 2011 the 3rd leading scorer in the league never got to the National development camp as a junior the same year. Not sure the North gets hurt any more than city kids, 4 metro teams and 2 northern...I would imagine that the North ge...

I have heard that 2 guys from blake are leaving. Austin either back to edina or benilde and then naas to benilde What happens to the "other" two recruits that Pauly promised ice time to? I was told they were both elected captains for next years team too. Nothing like loyalty to your teamm...

Nothing against either coach as I'm sure they are great coaches and great people. MSHSL stresses it's not about winning to the HS coaches but then time after time they give the coach of the year award to the coaches that have great success in the win lose catagory. The MSHSL doesn't give this award...
