EastRidge HS

[hesabaddmann]

Joe....Re-read this entire thread once.....YOU even said that the girls would go back to Woodbury and PCG instead of a normal co-op with ER-Woodbury......Because someone told you that....Did that person KNOW anything?..Obviously not now that you doubt the option as being viable or at least cannot find precedent for it anywhere....That was and is my point...."They", and I'm not sure who" they" are, seem to be making the rules as we go along.....To be perfectly honest with you the whole subject will be decided the way many of these matters always have been done...The loudest mom ,or moms, win.....Still just my opinion.....

[FrankThom]

I would suspect that the SEC AD's have to approve in addition to MSHSL. Conferences approved North Metro coop, and untied the Mayo coop, a couple years ago.

[missingthenstars]

In my opinion if there is enough girls for 3 varsity teams there should be 3 varsity teams. Moms and dads should be in the stands supporting their teams and let the coaches and administrators make the decisions. Believe it or not they are the one's looking out for their teams best interest.

[hockeywild7]

Whatever the decision it won't hinge on competitiveness and whether or not the talent is split equally and it shouldnt. It should go entirely by numbers. The SEC has rules about coops that have to be amended or an exception made.

hockeywild7 you are exactly right. It's simply about the numbers, and based on what was presented by the 3 schools staff, the numbers do not work. Including rostered players and projected U14 players who no longer have eligiblity to return to their teams base upon age limitations,
the numbers are as follows:
Park 28 skaters and 3 goalies
Woodbury 17 skaters and 3 goalies
East Ridge 18 skaters and 0 goalies

Additionally, these numbers do not reflect girls that will leave to play for private schools, and girls who might leave to play elsewhere (Thoroughbreds etc...)

The best decision for all parties and what was favored by the players themselves, was a duel co-op.

[FrankThom]

Including rostered players and projected U14 players who no longer have eligiblity to return to their teams base upon age limitations ...

Am I reading this right? Are you excluding a number of U14 players?

Am I reading this right? Are you excluding a number of U14 players?

Yes you are reading this right, and no the numbers do not exclude U14 players. Based on the numbers that were presented by staff from all three schools, as well as input from directors of the girls youth programs (Park and Woodbury), these are the numbers that would be available if they went forward with teams for all three schools.

And like I noted before, these numbers do not take into account any girls that would leave Park or Woodbury for other teams or programs.

Additionally, both East Ridge and Woodbury would not have JV teams, which could make it difficult to schedule games, because most schools want to play teams where their JV could participate.

AND... I haven't even mentioned competitveness, BECAUSE it's about the numbers.

[mnpuckmaster]

On the coaches at Eastridge...they just hired now former Hastings Boys Basketball Coach/Health-Phy Ed Teacher Trent Hanson as their new Athletic Director. Trent will begin duties on June 8th...I'll bet you will find out more about the coaches of ALL of the Raptors' teams after Hanson begins his duties. Just a tidbit...

What math made all the returning players off of the 7 existing teams

(2 U14, 2 JV, 2 V, 1 U19B)

PLUS

all the second year U12 players off of 4 U12 teams =

only 4 high school teams.

Sounds like "competitive" math to me.

The one U14 for Woodbury is a coop with Hastings and the U19 team is a regional team with some post grads right? Anyone know the exact numbers as it relates or where they are in the above count....

You are correct about the U14's, but I do not have reportable information on the U19's. The U19's were brought up at the player/parent meeting and it was noted that the team had girls from different parts of the metro, and post grads.

Here is a copy of the numbers data that was prepared by Phil Kuemmel from Park, Matt Kraft from East Ridge, and John Soma from Woodbury,
as well as the girls youth Directors from Park and Woodbury.

District 833 Girl’s Hockey Participation Data

2008-2009 rostered players at Park & Woodbury returning in 2009-2010*,
• Park 28 skaters + 3 goalies
• Woodbury 17 skaters + 2 goalies
• East Ridge 18 skaters + 0 goalies
*These numbers include projected U14 players (9th graders in 2009-
2010) not eligible to return to their team based upon age limitations.


Overall girl’s participation in the Cottage Grove and Woodbury youth
hockey programs, broken down by future high school attendance
boundaries;

Woodbury 38
Park 41
East Ridge 70

-Further broken down by current grade;
8th grade Woodbury 2 Park 7 East Ridge 14
(some still eligible for U14 in 2009-2010)
7th grade Woodbury 9 Park 8 East Ridge 9
6th grade Woodbury 10 Park 5 East Ridge 17
5th grade Woodbury 9 Park 16 East Ridge 17
4th grade Woodbury 8 Park 5 East Ridge 13

The unknown here is what girls will leave for private schools, what girls from the youth programs will quit, what girls don't want to play high school hockey.

Let's be realistic, you can't pilfer and decimate the U14's and the U12's by forcing them to play HS hockey, just to get to the "numbers". The numbers don't add up.

And like I said before, I haven't even made any comments about being competitive!

[FrankThom]

Please.

So East Ridge has 32 9th through 12 graders next year and they want to combine?

That doesn't include any of next years 7th and 8th graders that may want to try to play up? Or any transfers that want to go to the brand new school?

Hahahahaha.

Name all the AA teams that have a full varsity, JV and U14 without comboing at any of level. Hardly anyone.

The parents need to get real.

[ghshockeyfan]

When I see the numbers mention goalies it seems that this is where the Eastridge group may be lacking? Do they have any?

That aside, my understanding is that Eastridge isn't hiring a coach but there is an opening at Woodbury that either may already be filled or is in process.

I would suspect that the SEC AD's have to approve in addition to MSHSL. Conferences approved North Metro coop, and untied the Mayo coop, a couple years ago.

I believe this is correct... Also - I just read what the school board minutes stated from 5/21/09:

http://www.sowashco.k12.mn.us/Departmen ... 052109.pdf

Sounds like approval of MSHSL is going to be needed for the "Double Co-op" which I've never heard of before (meaning one school co-oping with two others that both field varsity level teams in the same sport)

5.3 Approval of District Cooperative Sponsored Girls Ice Hockey Teams: Phil Kuemmel (PHS Athletics/Activities Director), John Soma (WHS Athletics/Activities Director) and Matt Kraft (ERHS Assistant Principal) presented updated information on the district cooperative sponsored girls ice hockey teams. Administrators from the district’s three high schools have met frequently over the past two months with stakeholders involved in the girls hockey programs of District 833. A cooperative sponsorship became necessary as student enrollments were determined and it became apparent that
9
the number of prospective girl’s hockey players could not support full teams at all three high schools. In developing the recommendation, administrators discussed options with high school head coaches and girl’s youth hockey directors from Cottage Grove and Woodbury, as well as student-athletes and parents from the district
Based on the feedback collected, district administrators are recommending that East Ridge High School enter into a Cooperative Sponsorship with both Park and Woodbury High Schools for girls hockey. The previous recommendation at the March 5th School Board workshop was for a single Cooperative Sponsorship with Woodbury and East Ridge. If approved, this “double co-op” arrangement would be in effect for the 2009-10 and 2010-11 school years, which is the maximum number of years allowed for a cooperatively sponsored activity by rules of the Minnesota State High School League. Girls’ hockey players attending ERHS will be assigned to the Park or Woodbury teams based upon the 2008-09 attendance areas. This requires approval of the School Board and the Minnesota State High School League Board of Directors. It is our belief that the girls’ hockey programs will continue to develop and that all three high schools will be able to field full teams starting with the 2011-2012 school year.
By approving the recommendation for a dual Cooperative Sponsorship, program details can be addressed with involvement of athletes, parents, coaches (the addition of an ERHS assistant on each team), and administrators. Application to the MSHSL for a cooperative sponsorship will also follow approval of the recommendation.
Vice-Chair Boyd invited audience members to speak on this topic.
• John Zavoral, district parent, would like to see more research done on the numbers provided to the School Board and feels many students will miss out on playing time if each school does not have their own team.
• Bruce Harman, district resident and President of WHS Girls Hockey Booster Club, expressed his concerns about the proposed cooperative sponsorship.
It was moved by Denise Kapler and seconded by Jim Gelbmann to approve the recommendation as presented. Motion was carried.

I found an interesting related item about 7th/8th grader participation at the HS level in the school board minutes:

http://www.sowashco.k12.mn.us/Departmen ... 042309.pdf

Did the district not allow 7th & 8th graders to participate at the HS level before???

5.0 Action Items. 5.1 Approval of Revisions to Policy 510.1, Athletic & Activity Participation:
Randy Zipf, Assistant Superintendent for Secondary Education, presented recommended revisions to
Board Policy 510.1, Athletic and Activity Participation. Administration at our high schools request that
this policy be revised to clarify for 7th and 8th grade students, families and staff, the criteria for
participation in varsity high school athletic activities. By this revision, student athletes in 7th and 8th
grade would be allowed to participate in varsity athletics at their assigned attendance boundary high
school. Administration feels that this policy revision supports student athletes, families and programs
by providing a consistent progression and communication for athletes and families. This revision is
also consistent with the current high school transfer policy and will place the same expectations on
middle school students competing in high school athletics that are now in place for all high school
students.
It was moved by Jim Gelbmann and seconded by Tracy Brunnette to approve the recommendation as
presented. Motion was carried.

That makes sense... Especially if they have had the numbers to field age/ability appropriate youth teams as well as HS JV/V... Which it appears is the case...

It sounds like what the "Double Co-op" essentially amounts to is how the MSHSL currently handles charter schools that ARE allowed to co-op with multiple public schools for the same sport... I would imagine that MSHSL would have to approve this as I assume it's unique to have a AA school requesting such an agreement with other AA schools...

Here is an article summing up the current state of affairs:

http://www.woodburybulletin.com/article ... erty_id=20

Sounds like it comes down to mshsl approval... As is the case with all co-ops... But I'd say this is a special request based on the non-exclusive or "double co-op" setup for a public class AA school...

[ghshockeyfan]

When I see the numbers mention goalies it seems that this is where the Eastridge group may be lacking? Do they have any?

That aside, my understanding is that Eastridge isn't hiring a coach but there is an opening at Woodbury that either may already be filled or is in process.

Former NSP assistant Stacy Anderson is the new head coach at Woodbury! Congrats to Stacy and the Woodbury program as she is outstanding and works with the fhit program ( http://www.fhitplayers.com/ )!

Well, has anyone heard anything about the decision affecting girls' hockey at Woodbury, Park, and EastRidge highschools? .... It's already mid August, summer camps are finished, there is only about 3 months till the first game .... What could be holding up the answer? ..... Bureacracy, what an invention .....
