Wow, must be your 1st kid in hockey. Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back about your kids team. Does it really matter what anyone thinks about your son's team.

Did he ever coach? How old would he be?

I think its best to not focus on the physical part of the but try get them fired up about just playing the game. Challenge them to see how many times they can win the battles and steal them puck from the otehr team.
Not even mentioning hitting or checking.
They will figure it out.

Wow, sounds like gopherwannabe has all the answers, I can't believe throwing a guy under the bus while keeping his own mask on. Any program would love to have the problem of to many good coaches. LP's kids are very gifted and seem to be nice humble kids. gopherwannabe remember its a game for the kid...

That a bad sign when you start having to get younger kids to play up. Must be low on numbers

My son just got them and is wearing them as we speak at a camp. He also tried on a pair that was a little to big at first and did'nt like the feel. Know that he has the Correct size and broke them in he seems to love them. He has notice how lite ther are. Last season he had RBK's and they are a heav...

I'm all for free trade, can a kid petition to play in a district that he doesn't live in?
What's the process to get on the minnesota hockey board?

SCORES come on someone must have scores from last night.

Elliot, So A person can put a tier I or II team together and try for nationals? So could they play the games in the fall and spring to get their games in and still play association hockey in the winter. If it was tier I wouldn't they have to play off against SSM to see who goes on to nationals. But ...

Roseau didn't have anything to play for other then getting alittle ice time. I'm sure they will be ready for regions. EGF is seems to playing strong hockey at the right time.

What did the scores form the regular season look like? Not that it matters.
Is this for the championship? When is it?

Adam Knochenmus- Roseau is a solid choice. You can't pick just one kid, there are very good players in every section.

This is a great thread.

Elliott, Well now that we've all given our input, and the meetings have happened, what went on in the meetings? Did any of the concerns brought up on this forum get addressed or even discussed? Would love an update. Not a whole lot got discussed by the time we got to this committee... So another me...

How many teams make it? How many regions? has a non metro team won it recently?

I don't agree with GR3343 regarding checking in Squirts, unless it is only in the defensive end that would give the kids a nice progession into checking. I agree Pee Wee (especially 1st yr) kids don't know how to check but I don't think they are being taught. what ever age if they don't get the inst...

I Agree with mn has a nba team? Go back to the Sept. cut off if you don't go birth year. I don't think they should ahve changed it in the 1st place.

keep Association hockey and just go with the USA hockey age brackets (birth year).

keep Association hockey and just go with the USA hockey age brackets (birth year).

Thanks Elliott it does seem like a big age difference especially at the pee wee level. you could have 5th graders playing 8th graders. But i guess it would be the same if you took 2 birth years and put them together.

elliott,
What about looking at the age brackets? Would MN ever modify it or go with USA hockey birth years?

How old is your child? Is he a shoe in for D1 and then pros? If he's that good they will find him.
College coaches look for athletes.

It may not be popular, but I side with the "DOGS" formula for development. Give me a kid from up north, Roseau or where ever, any day. The kids learn to love the game and develop at their own pace. It doesn't matter how big a kid is at what level, they all learn to love the game and develo...
