Team Minnesota - Beantown Collge Showcase & Tour

I just read on the www.teamminesota.org website that they have opened registration to any player who will still be in high school this coming year with birth dates during 1990, 1991 and 1992 - they will only accept a few 1993's with high school hockey experience. Here is what I copied: BEANTOWN COLL...

QUOTE From what I understand, the real one is called The Road to College Hockey and is run by some past Harvard Alumni. It is truly invite only.[/quote] The Road to College is put on by Chuck Hughes and Don Donato (brother of Harvard coach). This may be an excellent venue to look at Harvard. The cos...

This is a new event that is designed by the East Coast coaches and it is supposed to be a variation of the Model Camp that Don Lucia promotes for the players in the mid-West. Since it is designed by the coaches out East, I do not believe that it is "checkbook" hockey. I know that the peopl...

The International Pre-Draft is for those players who are ranked by the NHL for the upcoming draft and the Jr. Chowder Cup is for 92 born players this year. Team Minnesota is starting the invitatio...

Minnesota vs. Michigan Series

The committee is finalizing the venue and particulars at this time and will open for registration within the ...

Danny Vranek - UNH

Danny Vranek scored his first goal as a freshman at University of New Hampshire vs. St. Lawrence. Great job Danny. It took a little while, but I am sure that we will see many more stats as a Wildcat!

Congrat's.

Agreed!! Maybe someone could send a PM to playersfirst, so he stops his PR dribble for the event and stops posting his excuses. Everyone else has figured out why MN lost at the 93 level, even people from Detroit. Well said - I couldn't agree more. I agree that this topic has gone on for too long. I...

Minnesota vs Michigan Series

High Flyer - yes the 1993 born players got dominated. Period. Again, this event was supposed to be a 1988, 1989, 1990 and 1991 event, but Team Michigan asked Team Minnesota to bring a couple of 1992 and 1993 teams. Obviously the guys organizing the event were unsuccessful in convincing many of the t...

Minnesota vs. Michigan

Minnesota should hang their heads low because they got their butt's kicked? I hope you understand that the Minnesota 89/90 teams had a record of 6 wins 1 loss and 1 tie. The 89/90 levels were the entire basis of this event. The 91/92 and 93 groups were put in place after the tournament was designed ...

Minnesota vs. Michigan

The 1989/1990 group dominated this weekend going 6-1-1. The team consisting of Shattuck and some Northern MN players took home the cup. The 1991/1992 teams had some close games, but were a little overmatched. And, the 1993 teams were completely overmatched and did not win a game. This may be a wakeu...

MN vs. Mi Hockey Series

I spoke with the person that runs the series and he mentioned that the series has commitment from a large group of USHL, NAHL, EJHL, OPJHL, AJHL and NCAA coaches/scouts who will attend the series. By the way, Bernie McBain is not the one who designed the series. It is a person who coaches in the Eli...

MN vs. MI Series

I believe the player from Omaha is going to Shattuck. This program does accept Shattuck players, as they are a part of Minnesota hockey in their own way. Even if Shattuck players are from another state, they have been able to participate on Team Minnesota as they attend school in Minnesota. From wha...

This series is a great idea. Selects have so many politics involved and finally the players can just compete for the sake of competition. Someone just wrote an article on this series, check out this link http://www.gopherpuck.blogspot.com. I have been told that the Detroit Red Wings and Little Caesa...

Xposure vs. USHL Prospects Camp

Correct, the USHL Prospects Camp is the direct result of Bob Turow and The Toronto Prospects Tournament losing U.S. players (not coming to the Toronto Tournament). This is a money making affair that may or may not provide a good venue for player exposure. The Xposure Tournament, because of its ties ...

USHL Camps

The camp in Chicago was started by Bob Torow who runs tha Toronto Prospects Tournament. This camp is subjective since the USHL teams do their own scouting. I do know that the Xposure Tournament will have all of the scouts attending since it is associated with the Elite League and Shattuck. Why would...
