I would have to say this is pretty much how it stands. The only one I would suspect that might change depending on who shows up is Andover and Centennial. Looks like Blaine will advance automatically to regions the other two spots will be up for grabs between Andover, Elk River, Coon Rapids and Centennial. I foresee this to be one exciting District 10 tournament since these are all pretty good equal teams

I gotta jump in again on the CINB team. I've watched them play a handfull of games this year and there has been a big improvement in overall team play. The last game I watched against Princeton I thought the goalie played very good, actually he kept them in the game.

Individual play looks much as it did when I watched them earlier in the year, didn't really see anyone that could stickhandle around an opponent and not a whole lot of completed passes. What the team has improved on is playing smarter; they dump the puck into the offensive zone when they get across the redline and the offense is basically throw the puck in front of the net and bang it around a bit. Pretty simple, safe hockey. They also do a better job of somewhat limiting good scoring chances by their opponents. That coupled with the improved goalie play is what I've seen is the biggest difference.

According to the D10 website CINB has been outscored 33-117 in D10 games for an average of 1.9-6.8. When you average less than 2 goals a game it's hard to believe that better goaltending would have them in the thick of things.

I think they easily would have been in the top 4 at the B1 level though and well above .500. For 75% of their games they would have had the top 3-4 players on the ice. The rest of the team would have been average B1 players for the most part. The last game I went to I thought they were getting handled pretty well everywhere but on the scoreboard where it was tied when I left. But the parents were pretty excited saying how they had improved so much much and how the two teams were basically even. So I guess it depends on your point of view.

I think playing A hockey has improved their team game and individual decision making but I think it came at the sacrifice of individual skill improvement that they would have gained at the B1 level.

There are six dominant teams, two tweeners, and the bottom four. CINB has for the most part improved big against the dominant and tweener teams the second time around. Against the other bottom four they have.... Beaten SLP the second time around, Outplayed and should have beaten Champlin Park the second time around, and beat Anoka in their own tournament the second time they played. If the season started again today they would probably be making a push for 8th or 9th out of 12 teams. Big time improvement and I'm glad you're getting a little more positive.

I'm putting this to bed now to, in all of this I hope the boards look closer at levels next year and maybe not listen to one person....and if the A team is somewhat satisfied with how its going this doesn't even touch on the B1 team which generally looking at scores its not getting better on that ave, don't have much else to compare to other than scores, now I personally hope a merge goes on next year, I'm already hearing people say why merge if we can't look better at top levels, but I believe a merged team if played at correct levels will make a more solid team and the other good lessons that come from playing with other kids. Now to be the devils advocate again, what is wrong with if say this A team played b1 this year and made the top 3 out of districts and got a trip to regions, what would they remember more 10 years from now playing A and losing most of the games or playing B1 and winning districts that year even if only a year. The group that just graduated from cambrige isanti or a couple years ago won districts at either peewee b1 or bantam b1 I can't remember and I've heard how wonderful it was for them. There hasn't been many teams out of cambridge or north branch for that matter to get to say that. I've heard arguments from high school that if they don't play a level they will lack skills at high school, so when blaine and wayzata and elk river (for examble since their last years peewee b1 won state and the b1 bantam went to state.....those kids I'm betting do just as fine with their own talent level at high school as the ones on the A team, I guess I'm trying to say I'm sure those on the b bantam contribute just as much. It isn't always easy or fun to get an butt kicking year after year. Yes it is what you make of it, but better decisions can probably be made from the beginning. Good luck with the elks tonight they are playing in a funk as of late. Lost to st. cloud last night 3-2. keep it under 5 goal differential thats a morale victory

I've talked to most of the players and they have said no way would they want to play b-1.. I think it's a pride thing. You sure are changing your tune. You said before about a .500 b-1 team ??
5 GOALS, we'll see. The Elks better bring their A game.

Against the other bottom four they have.... Beaten SLP the second time around, Outplayed and should have beaten Champlin Park the second time around, and beat Anoka in their own tournament the second time they played. If the season started again today they would probably be making a push for 8th or 9th out of 12 teams. Big time improvement and I'm glad you're getting a little more positive.
I'm putting this to bed now to, in all of this I hope the boards look closer at levels next year and maybe not listen to one person....and if the A team is somewhat satisfied with how its going this doesn't even touch on the B1 team which generally looking at scores its not getting better on that ave, don't have much else to compare to other than scores, now I personally hope a merge goes on next year, I'm already hearing people say why merge if we can't look better at top levels, but I believe a merged team if played at correct levels will make a more solid team and the other good lessons that come from playing with other kids. Now to be the devils advocate again, what is wrong with if say this A team played b1 this year and made the top 3 out of districts and got a trip to regions, what would they remember more 10 years from now playing A and losing most of the games or playing B1 and winning districts that year even if only a year. The group that just graduated from cambrige isanti or a couple years ago won districts at either peewee b1 or bantam b1 I can't remember and I've heard how wonderful it was for them. There hasn't been many teams out of cambridge or north branch for that matter to get to say that. I've heard arguments from high school that if they don't play a level they will lack skills at high school, so when blaine and wayzata and elk river (for examble since their last years peewee b1 won state and the b1 bantam went to state.....those kids I'm betting do just as fine with their own talent level at high school as the ones on the A team, I guess I'm trying to say I'm sure those on the b bantam contribute just as much. It isn't always easy or fun to get an butt kicking year after year. Yes it is what you make of it, but better decisions can probably be made from the beginning. Good luck with the elks tonight they are playing in a funk as of late. Lost to st. cloud last night 3-2. keep it under 5 goal differential thats a morale victory
I've talked to most of the players and they have said no way would they want to play b-1.. I think it's a pride thing. You sure are changing your tune. You said before about a .500 b-1 team ??
5 GOALS, we'll see. The Elks better bring their A game.
changing my tune... I said if they made top 3 during the district 10 tournament and you know how that goes teams need to bring it at the end of season to move on, i guess no one will ever know how they would have done at b1 we can only imagine. Good luck tonight

and if you follow any hockey at all ... you know it is the HOFF family!! And from what I saw Centennial Red would beat CI Bantam A's.
