Totally agree, in fact the best JGA teams would beat MOST Varsity AA teams IMO. Teams like White Bear, Stillwater, Woodbury, Tartan would get thumped pretty good by Edina or Wayzata. Again, these teams are a special circumstance from associations with such an abundance of really good hockey players there just isn't enough spots for them.
These Jr Gold players are hungry and game tested, they play about twice as many games as the Varsity.
Put down the BONG and come back to earth. Yes the best JGA teams would beat some High School varsity teams, but you better bring your standards down a bit. How about Rosemount, East Ridge, SLP, and TG.
I'll bet you haven't seen Edina's JGA play right? I've seen all the varsity teams I've mentioned and I've seen Edina's JGA and I stand by the comment.
None of you made the state tourney and I haven't been impressed with any. I am impressed by Edina JGA however.
Have seen Edinas JGA team play...against my sons JGA team...1 goal game...against other JGA teams yes they were the best...against the above mentioned teams...yes they would do good...that`s it! I`m not knocking Edina,we have some friends on the team...i am though knocking this stupid thread,i agree put the bong down...sober up and get real!! Maybe next year they can have the JGA teams play their associations JV teams,that might be a little more realistic
after both playing on the edina jga team and watching some mid level varsity like whote bear, theres no way we would "thump" them at all...itd be maybe a 5 2 game for those mid level teams
