Interesting to note info put up on Minnesota Hockey today. Besides the rosters I noticed the Phase III weekend schedules. It looks like the U16 vs. U16 on Saturday and then U16 vs. U17 on Sunday - those will be interesting

The Junior Festival is scheduled to end on June 13 - hopefully this is correct as this date will HAVE to work! With the conflict next weekend this will be the second time we've had to postpone taking the ACT due to hockey (the last one being an early afternoon Section game).

Yep, I hear you! Tough to get done this year for hockey players!!

Looks like Minnesota Hockey has posted revised rosters (Section 2A/2AA 16th and 17th corrected).

You know..., you can choose to do the ACT instead of hockey. Very few are moving on.

Very True, but let the girls who want to try to pursue one of their hockey dreams, try. There are different times in the year to take the ACT, even tho this year has been a challenge with the dates.

Last year several players took the ACT and missed a session and still made it to Lake Placid. Are the powers at be actually going to enforce a rule this year regarding missing a session? I personally think they could have scheduled sessions around the ACT.

SportsMa · Post by **SportsMa** » Fri Apr 04, 2008 6:10 pm

Agree, next year's (2008-2009) dates are posted already so it could certainly be avoided by the organizers:

October 25, 2008
December 13, 2008
February 7, 2009
April 4, 2009
June 13, 2009

Do you have to take the ACT to get into a junior college?

That and I noticed several kids that got through with only showing up to one session in P1, so I can't imagine they would hold you to that rule in P2.

Education is quite a bit more important I'd say.

Any thoughts on how the weather is going to impact Phase II on Friday and Saturday? Hard to believe for the second time in April this nasty, crazy weather.

SportsMa · Post by **SportsMa** » Thu Apr 10, 2008 5:36 pm

Guessing some of the non-metro girls are not going to be able to get there for Friday night's games. Will see what the weather does.

Great hockey at Plymouth though I only caught the early games - neat having boys and girls at the same venue. On the girls side Section 4 beat section 2 6-4 (Brausen and Salomen had 2 goals each Tuuri and Doyle 1 goal for Section 4 - Buie, Williams (2) and Ramsy all scored for Section 2) at the '92 U16 level and 3-2 at the '91 U17 level.

Did anyone else see or catch any other games.

This year on penalties they awarded a penalty shot which I thought was great - we had 2 penalty shot goals in the '92 game and the winner in the '91 game was a penalty shot.

Both Section 4 goalies Rolando and Sobczek played very well.

U17's

Section 6 5 (EN)
Section 3 2

I didn't think the game was as close as the score.

Another big day for Brausen (RSVL) 3 or 4 goals, also Marcotte (WB), Doyle (HM), Anderson (NSP). Sobczek (STW) and Rolando (Tartan) again strong in goal (stopped +8 penalty shots).

Great event. Lots of good hockey to watch. Crowds were good, and parking was nuts. MN Hockey must have done very, very well, income-wise. Also, I've never seen so many evaluators and scouts in one place in my entire life.

Section 1 '91 girls (17's) beat section 7 Friday, but were out-gunned their next 2 games. Girls to move on could include F Jenna Christensen (Albert Lea), D Katie Frischman (Thoroughbreds) and G Michelle Bonapace-Potvin (Roch JM/Lourdes). One or a few others may get a look, we'll just have to wait, I guess. Good job by all section 1 girls hanging in there with some talented opponents.

Girls U16 '92

3rd place game - Section 1 beat Section 3 in the 3rd place game 5-3 (open netter).

Championship Game - Section 4 beat Section 5 3-1. Dalbec scored lone Section 5 goal on Penalty Shot. For Section 4 Chartrand (NSP) scored the game winner on a tip in from Pendleton (HM) and a Penalty Shot & Philipcek (STW) also scored on a Penalty Shot. Goalies for both section 5 Chloe Billideau (Blake) and Brown (Irondale) and Section 4 Rolando (Tartan) and Sobczek (STW). Both teams played well on both ends so the shot totals were down with the tight defensive coverage and hustle on both sides.

SEhockeyDAD · Post by **SEhockeyDAD** » Sun Apr 13, 2008 9:35 pm

The only other 17's game I saw was the 7th place game; Section 8 beat Section 2, I believe the score was 3-1.
