Shibrowski to Kansas City
Rumor has it that Michael Shibrowski, from Benilde, has moved to Kansas City to play juniors... Does anyone know anything about this? There had been talks about him leaving ever since Meyers went to Benilde and he had gone to numerous tryouts for junior programs since then.
I don't think he is good enough to play at the next level and I'm curious what junior team he would be going to play for... (Probably Russell Stover)
Any insight would be appreciated because I'm confused...

It's always good to have competition. Benilde is lucky to have more than one quality goaltender.
Ankeny will have to compete against Meyers for playoff opportunities. We'll see who steps up and who doesn't.

This is too bad. There are at least a dozen MN high school programs that could use a quality goalie...but perhaps due to moronic transfer rules, a decent goalie has to leave and play Tier 1 Midget Major hockey because he would have been ineligible if he had transfered at the beginning of the year to another high school so that he could get a shot.
To the high school coaches/administrators that may read this --- are the recently inacted transfer rules put in place to prevent teams from 'loading up' on players worth it when you also wreck opportunities for Minnesota kids to play on teams that actually need goaltending support?
Not saying Shibrowski was intent on transferring to another high school, but this is a potential example of how programs were so protective in enacting transfer rules that they do a disservice to kids just wanting to play a game they love.

Also the fact that this is a dominant private school might have a great deal to do with it. Many goalies and players arrive to private schools hoping to make the team/get to state/gain exposure/ect. This creates loaded up talent that can sadly go unused or under-developed at deeper talented private schools. Had the players stayed with their youth hockey programs and onto that HS they might have better opportunities for playing time and get to play with their buddies they grew up with. Which is a great opportunity and a lot of fun. Staying and playing with your friends is very rewarding and can set the stage for others to stay at their own programs and build their own traditions. It's a great risk going to a big metro private school in hopes of "making it big" in HS hockey. Where there are high risks there can be higher rewards so it will continue.
For the Love of the Game.
