Thief River Falls has a new coach. The following is from KROX radio out of Crookston. www.kroxam.com Thief River native Corey Poole is returning to his hometown to take over coaching duties in girls hockey and softball. Poole has coached the past seven years at Sauk Centre and Detroit Lakes (was hea...

The only way things will ever change is if penalties are called when penalties occur. Time of the game should have nothing to do with it. If an official is going to call something at the start they better call it at the end. The NHL is doing that now and although it took a while for the players to f...

I teach my girls that girls hockey is a lot like basketball. You have to beat people to spots on the rink. If you win the race to the puck then you are the one being checked. If you are playing defense and you have someone skate into you, you should be fine if you beat them to the spot they want to ...

It isn't always called head contact. In the girls game most refs would probably just call it checking. Could also be roughing or elbowing but any contact to the head is supposed to be called. <p></p><i></i>

So why can small towns outside the metro field Varsity, J.V., 14U, and have plenty of numbers to do it. <br><br>I understand that the cost is higher to play in the cities, but so is income, and the number of kids who can afford to play. <br><br>The only reason I called it a disgrace is because I'm g...

It sounds to me that hockey people in Rochester need to step up and start getting kids in Rochester to play the game.<br><br>For a city with 100,000 people to only be able to field one 14U team is a disgrace.<br><br>If you have number problems in a city that size co-opping is not the long term answe...

Probably not good. They are cutting many teachers and programs due to declining enrollment so that hiring someone new to come in to teach and coach is probably not possible. <p></p><i></i>

Exactly, It's not cheap but if you want to play at the next level and haven't been spotted yet this is an investment.<br><br>With as many kids as we have playing the game, and all of the new womens programs out there. I really don't see a reason why we can't put an emphasis on sending kids out to be...

Doesn't the boys Chicago Showcase send a team of Seniors who aren't going to a division one school. It is a last chance for players to be seen in case someone has fallen through the cracks. <br><br>I know other states don't do that but shouldn't we be trying to get as many kids as possible a chance ...

I have to disagree with whether or not college coaches know about what a kid does off the ice.<br><br>If you are going to be bringing in a kid to represent an institute of higher learning, and to represent yourself you are going to find out what type of kid they are. Every college coach I've talked ...

What happens with injuries???<br><br>A girl from the North separated her shoulder last week in the Gopher State Festival and is out for 4 weeks.<br><br>She made it past the first round last year. She'll be ready for phase 2 this year. What happens to kids like that. <p></p><i></i>

Hockeyparent reminds me of a parent I had a couple of years ago. Single mother with one daughter. She thought her daughter was the second coming of Natalie Darwitz. And in reality she couldn't catch a pass, couldn't give a pass, couldn't shoot, even had a hard time skating. But it was all the coache...

My personal opinion is that 12U is more important as far as seeing what programs have talent coming up.<br><br>You lose many 14U players who are very good to the local high school team.<br><br>Obviously WBL and Edina having teams in the Championship Games of both 12U and 14U state tournaments have t...

Warroad's number's are going way down. And the talent level is going right down with it. <br><br>Warroad is pushing for it. Roseau wants nothing to do with it.<br><br>Roseau's numbers are going up. Two 10U teams. Good numbers at 12U and 14U.<br><br>From the sound of it Warroad can't handle not being...

There is no way Roseau and Warroad will be in the same section as Silver Bay. That is like a 6 hour drive across the state. One of the big arguments to go to 8 sections is to get away from trips like that. The sections will probably look pretty close to the boys.<br><br>Boys Class 8A<br>Lake of the ...

So Boblee did GRG really play that terrible over the weekend or could it be Crookston and Moorhead are decent teams that outworked and outplayed and maybe outskilled them.<br><br>It's my past experience that many times when you think you didn't play well it is more likely the other teams ability tha...
