Re: Janne Kivihalme Out at Lakeville South

Janne is an incredible coach and even better at player development. Most of the people on this board don’t know this, but before he was involved with Burnsville/Lakeville he coached the 1995 Icemen from the ground up (Mites-Highschool). Few players of note that spent most of the years with the team:...

Re: Hill-Murray Update

This is ridiculous. Glad they lawyered up. If they have no positive tests they should be able to play.

Re: Maple Grove vs Blake

I think it's more disappointing that the ref who was over 100 feet away makes that call. I think as a coach, fan, etc. you simply ask for consistency in calls..if down by a G MG may not have been in position for that second penalty call anyway - as with the limited time left and down a goal you hav...

Re: Maple Grove vs Blake

The guy did commit a slash.. delay of game is iffy Not a chance. Also you have to call the two missed holding calls on Blake a few minutes before then. At that point you swallow your whistle unless someone is hauled down on a breakaway or it is a bad check from behind. Except that the stick came do...

Re: Maple Grove vs Blake

Nice officiating. That should NEVER be called that late in a game. Absolute joke. That ref should not touch the ice again. If you think it prevented a goal and he wasn't pushed, you have to call that penalty. In real-time I thought it should've been delay of game too, but he was for sure pushed aft...

Raskob didn't try out either yet also advanced. The politics involved in these "try-outs" really tarnish the credibility of the tournament. I wonder what the rosters would look like if the evaluators were from out of state, didn't know any player's names, and based the criteria only on th...

The pace in a high caliber High School hockey game doesn't even compare to the USHL. Don't believe me? Go watch one in person. Doesn't even compare. Development wise, it is a no brainer.
