Best All Home Grown Team

1. Roseville 2. Hastings 3. Henry Sibley. Not sure if Roseville is 100% homegrown. How many of the top 20 teams are 100% homegrown?

Last year at the state tournament banquet, the Roseville coach Steve Sertich made it point to say that the team was entirely homegrown girls. Not 100% sure about this year.

Who really cares if the team is 100% homegrown and what is a 100% homegrown team anyway. Does it mean since they started playing in the U8 youth program no kids have moved into town? Or do you make exceptions up until the u12 program? Or maybe its ok until they reach the U14 and havent played varsity yet. Kids transfer and move for a variety of reasons.

Let me guess, you have a daughter that tranfered.
The thread is a question about the best home grown team. If your daughter does not play on one, then her team does not qualify. It is that simple. I agree with xwildfan on his picks. I believe the Roseville team this year is also homegrowm.

You guessed wrong, I don't have daughter who has transferred or plays hockey. And as i stated before just exactly how do you qualify as a "homegrown" team? Can a girl who moved into the program as a u14 or u12 qualify as homegrown?

Let's be honest. Most Homegrown teams are Class A small-school (non-private obvioulsy) teams. It's just a fact. Very few metro teams or big school teams (and obvioulsy all privates) have kids that are all from their youth program. We get worked up about some of these transfers/OE's/privates becuase the kids are high-profile talent.

I think it's fair to ask maybe who is predominantly homegrown. 1 big-name transfer and you may have to reconsider the "homegrown" designation?

Although it's 3 schools in a coop; this team is 100% homegrown. No transfers, no foreign exchange student....and they have a ton of depth. They will be a tough AA team this year in section 7AA in my opinion.

I know this is my first post but...isn't Marshall a private school? They can't be "homegrown" can they?

You are correct - kids who live in all parts of the city and surrounding towns go there.

I guess your right in that aspect. I was just under the impression that majority of those girls on that team are from Proctor and Hermantown with possibly 3-5 from Marshall...which you are right anyone can go to that school. Although no one has open enrolled to play for that team,etc.

I see your point though.

forest lake has all forest lake kids since u12 girls hockey . In fact

they are the same team that went to state at u12a as 12 year olds.

they are missing two of their premier players from that team Kelly Lewis

to the thoroughbreds, keeta koalska to centennial. Forest lake is the only

team in 7AA that hasn't had to coop, the numbers aren't there but the kids

must like playing for there coaches and there community because they

show up to play every year.

Looks like Alex is no longer the 100% "homegrown" team they have been bragging about for how many years now.

" Homegrown" probably wasn't the best description. A better description would be that the player lives in the school district of her high school team. For example, all of Sibley's players live in school district 197. Likewise for Cottage Grove.
