Re: say "no" to high school
Wow funny, we haven't heard this complaint before. Maybe for ding dongs like you who love arguements, we should post, four years from now, all the players who stayed four years of high school and played after high school. The results would be overwhelming. Alot more kids stay then leave so your pissing and moaning is getting old.flatontheice wrote:Looks like the Elite league is doing its job.dueling21 wrote:Just checking back in...last I saw, these were the kids who weren't going to return to play high school hockey this year:

Re: say "no" to high school
Or you could look at it positvely and say that 10-12 more kids got that chance for exposure in the Elite League that otherwise would not have.Papa Bergundy wrote:Wow funny, we haven't heard this complaint before.

Re: say "no" to high school
It was meant as a positive comment as the list was alot longer prior to the Elite League. Who is the ding dong now?Papa Bergundy wrote:Wow funny, we haven't heard this complaint before.

Joey is going back to play for the Saint Francis Fighting Saints and break every scoring record that they have. He will be returning to the Owls who play in Isanti after the high school season. He had a great final game before leaving for three months as he scored two and chipped in an assist last Sunday night. Good luck Joey in Saint Francis!!!

No problem. I am not a fan of the way the league is run and how the kids are "chosen" but I do think it is doing its job in keeping more kids home.Papa Bergundy wrote:Yea that's an embarassing moment, glad these posts are anonymous. I guess this board has become the home of sarcasm so I made a misjudgement on your tone. There are many people who think it isn't "doing its job" so I hope you understand my misunderstanding. I apologize.

Re: say "no" to high school
Some pretty big hits to some contending teams. I think Mayo, New Prague and Blake are going to miss their stars the most. Eden Prairie losing three potential varsity players doesn't help their chances much.dueling21 wrote:Just checking back in...last I saw, these were the kids who weren't going to return to play high school hockey this year:
