Re: namedropping. I would be very surprised if many players look at this forum. And of the ones that do look at the comments, I would be even more surprised if they attatched even the slightest importance to any comments. The players play, the coaches coach, and the parents try to do everything... coach from the stands, try to motivate and coach their kids on when to shoot, pass, etc., help the referees make the "correct" calls, evaluate players , post comments on forums, etc. Will be interesting to see how this generation of kids interacts with their kids and sports. I think their involvement will be a tad less involved.

Yes, Congratulations to all.

I'll have to take my daughter to Olive Garden tonight to cheer her up.

You left out 'ripping coaches for their all-conference nominations'.

Gotta be some more... Challenging other parents to fight in the parking lot - dulling the other girls skates - opening arena doors to blind a goalie - shining laser pointers on the opposition... All ugly but they have been done. Aaaahhh, I remember when girls hockey was civilized

Have any At Large letters gone out to MN U16 or U17 players? Looks like all the Districts have announced and there are still open spots to be named.

Lauren Zrust......at large spot given within the past week for the 1991 camp in Lake Placid.

I know this is meant in jest, but may be one of the most profound comments on here.

I wasn't joking.

Glad to see she made it back.

I understand it's fractured - will be out approximately 2 months and will miss the fall soccer season.

I am a HS coach and the more I keep seeing these games played and the injuries that are occuring really upsets me. As a coach we have to go to these rules meetings twice a year and hear how there is to be no contact and only angling of players then I go to games and see these full contact boys games being played. I wish we could all be on the same page and uniform as to what the rules with contact is in girls hockey...Being that there is no consistancy these are the injuries that we will keep seeing and I believe hurt girls hockey as a lot of the top players will be out hurt.

As a parent who has been bringing her daughter to doctors and Physical therapists since October because of hockey injuries (Broken Wrist and collarbone)I have learned that these types of injuries are caused by girls not having the muscle mass to protect their bones from collision type injuries. When girls train harder and harder to become better they tend to loose body fat more so than gain muscle mass. They really have no cushioning from the blows they sustain in hockey so it ends up being your best trained atheletes are more suceptible to injuries. The answer to this is to have a training routine that is more geared to the female athelete so that your best players can maintain some protection. And a set of rules that can be called consistantly no matter what level of hockey that's played

Also, coaches need to coach their players to always expect a hit anywhere on the ice. They have to be taught how to go in the corners at the proper angle; how to avoid the danger zone - two to three feet away from the boards. Not sure if this is being emphasized enough.

Also, like the boys game, there seems to be less respect given to opponents welfare when the opposing player is in a vulnerable position.

As the girls players become bigger, stronger, faster, and more aggressive, there is bound to be more injuries. Not sure what the answer is. Probably injuries will ultimately be viewed (like the boys) as "part of the game."

I watched Wed-Friday it was great fast physical hockey and there were "no cheap hits - physical was legit on puck plays". Injuries may have been a product of the long week of training where they all were pushing themselves against each other, speed and desire to do well with only 2 games and some freak things that happened with bodies (some very big/strong kids) arriving at the puck at the same time it was very good play. I am not sure what you do to change the injuries but agree awareness and coaching on training and taking hits is key. Officials worked very hard and controlled games well - the call of play was more like a State Tournament game where they let the teams play but always had control of game.

I think most of these kids were in outstanding shape so not sure that played a role - but in general agree physical/strength training will limit injuries.
