If there was not an Elite II league, the kids that made the Elite league this year would have most likely made it anyway as they would still have been the next best sophomores and juniors to replace the seniors that left. Its called turnover.davey wrote:Sioux Fan gets all the credit for these kids making the Elite league as they were all on his Elite 2 team last year. He teaches the kids to play hard and that they have to put in the time to get better. Few other kids down here that probably should have got a shot also, but it is the S.Minnesota stigma that they don't have any good hockey players down here that hurts some of these kids. Seems to me the Section did pretty well in the Advanced 17 spring festival against the metro and northern sections...oh yeah, they won that without really getting challenged.Tony Soprano wrote:Sioux Fan - how is your group going to look this year? Do you think section 1 will be able to make it back to the final game again this year? It looks like section 1 had a nice number of players make the Upper Midwest Elite League which is great.
Elite II is a good league to get some competition and ice time before the HS season starts up. Its good hockey, great fun and you get to met some people you may have otherwise never met.
