Which associations are declining to field an "A" team this year?

Question for those who know: how long will the Sunday meeting to last? It starts at 8:00 a.m. Is it likely to be a 2, 3, 4 hour meeting? Any idea?

Thanks.

Bearhockey, for the most part I agree with you. Blake's situation seems forgiveable, since it was a MN HOCKEY rule ('though one has to question why a parent pulls his/her kid from the community association to put them on a private school "B" team), but Wayzata's stacked teams seem to be de...

Interesting thread. Here are my two cents: 1. It is my understanding (as the last poster stated) that Minnesota Hockey would not allow Blake to play at the A level. I think that STA and Minnehaha faced the same restriction (whether they would have wanted to play up or not is a different question). T...

So, it's Blake v. Wayzata Blue in the B1 Championship! Who could have predicted such a thing!?!?

I don't think that Eagan is underrated. I think that their a top 20 or top 25 team at best, where i think their ranked right now. This season Eagan beat the following top 10 or top 20 teams: Stillwater, WBL Black, Wayzata Navy, Woodbury Blue, Woodbury White, Moorhead Black, Duluth East Red, Richfie...

well associations like blake have to take everyone who wants to play.. a parent told me a its a kids 2nd year playin and he is on the team They don't have to take everyone who wants to play. Why would they? If they have a kid who's in his second year of playing, he probably doesn't see much ice unt...

I'd bet a month's salary that the Bantam B1 state champ will be either Wayzata Blue or Blake. Not to take anything away from the other teams, but from what I've seen (and I've seen 7 of the 8 teams play) the talent of Wayz. Blue and Blake is a level above the rest.

It seems like there were quite a few associations who did not host a Bantam A team this year who have Bantam B teams in the playoffs. I assume that the same is true on the Peewee level. Someone told me that there used to be a rule against that in Minnesota Hockey, that if you didn't have an A team y...

So, the East Region divisions are as follows:

Red: WBL Black, Blake, Eagan and Stillwater
Blue: Wayzata Blue, WBL Orange, Woodbury Blue and Wayzata Navy

Woodbury Black (White) lost to Eagan 3-2 in triple overtime.

Woodbury Blue and Eagan advance to the East Regions. Woodbury Blue is the #1 seed and Eagan the #2 seed from D8.

Star and Tribune said he transferred as a junior to Benilde. Are we limiting player's development options in MN due to these new rules? My guess is this transfer was critical to Brian's success. At the very least, we seem to be limiting opportunity for our MN boys which are being cut by their high ...

The game was last night, and I just heard that Woodbury won 4-2.

Who is the beast on STA?

What do you say about a 4th place team from the rotten T.C. District pounding good Dist. 8 teams in the playoffs! :lol: Really? If you're talking about STA, they don't play any "good" D8 teams in the district playoffs until tonight when they play Woodbury. The teams they played so far (No...

Put the kids where they belong and don't worry about "pleased" kids. Bottom line, put the kids at the level they belong, if that means two b1 teams, so be it. Well of course putting the kids where they belong is always the goal, but that's easier said than done. If you have 22 skaters who...

Yesterday: Minnetonka 2, Coon Rapids 0 Eagan 4, Buffalo 0 Today: Minnetonka 4, Eagan 2 (it was 3-2 with 1 minute to go; tonka scored short-handed, shots were ~ 24 for Tonka to 21 for Eagan, 'though Eagan was up 10-0 on shots after 10 minutes in the first period) Woodbury Blue over Hermantown (not su...

Woodbury Blue 2, Eagan 2.

The PHIT (formerly Impact Hockey) program advertises a great development program: small group sessions, unlimited dryland, talented instructors, premier development, connections to Junior programs and scouts, ... However, my experience there has been that it becomes an overpriced day care center. P...

Bnyrup, No idea. I might be wrong. I know they will not be competing under D1 and they are located in D8. Not sure how D8 is going to work things or if STA will have an opportunity there at all. Well, they aren't part of D8, and I don't think D8 would let them into the district for purposes of the ...

Really? How is that going to work?

I'm starting to think that most of the posts dissing Woodbury's B1 teams (both Blue and Black (aka White) are posts from Woodbury coaches or parents trying to mount a disinformation campaign to keep other teams off guard. Make no mistake: Woodbury has two or three very good Bantam teams, and some ve...

Here is how I see it. 1. Wayzata Blue - They stack there 1st B-1 team and Split the others 2.
