The Golden Walleye Classic
Anyone know which teams are participating in this tournament? How many age groups? What level (talent) can be expected?

There was a Miracle Gold / Team Minnesota Tryouts thread earlier - Team Minnesota must be made up of Miracle Gold kids.Pylon wrote:I can't find any info on the Toronto teams who are in the 02 division. Who is making up Team Minnesota. Looks like the Machine are in the Easton Cup. Blades should have a good shot at this one.
Machine, Synergy, and Wisconsin Flyers are all at the Easton Cup. Go Blades!

03 Level should be competitive, assuming Blades (spent this summer as Legacy), Admirals, SE Jr. Selects, and Cougars all send similar roster as the Cougar Invite earlier this summer. Looking at the scores from that tourney, these 4 teams all showed well (Blades/Legacy won championship game in OT).
Team Minnesota would be the wildcard. It was a MM team at the Cougar Invite, now it is a a HB/Miracle Gold team.

Why are teams changing names?

So at the '03 level the kids who played for Legacy's team this summer now play for the Blades and the Minnesota Made kids play for HB/Miracle Gold? If so that's a couple of interesting alliances.we're all crazy wrote:03 Level should be competitive, assuming Blades (spent this summer as Legacy), Admirals, SE Jr. Selects, and Cougars all send similar roster as the Cougar Invite earlier this summer.

Didn't mean to create confusion....
As I understand it, Legacy formed an 03 team in the Spring. Blades didn't form until mid-Summer. So the majority of the would-be 03 Blades played the Spring/early-Summer on the the 03 Legacy team.
Same with MM. There was no 03 Machine this summer (not formed yet). So the MM kids went to the Cougar Invite as a generic "Minnesota" team.

I think a few from Legacy are switching over to the Blades and most of the Miracle Gold are playing as Team MN for the tournament.HockeyDad41 wrote:So at the '03 level the kids who played for Legacy's team this summer now play for the Blades and the Minnesota Made kids play for HB/Miracle Gold?

A few of the 03's are VERY talented.

Define competitive.

They should be very competitive at the 03' level. I don't know much about the 02' level..... I remember them going to an "elite" tournament in Green Bay this summer.Pylon wrote:Define competitive.

Sorry, i should have been more clear. You mentioned that some 03's were playing up at the 02 level and were very competitive as a team. I was just wondering what level they were playing at, open or elite. I don't recall any 03's playing on the Machine teams or the Blades. I am afraid Team Minnesota may struggle in the 02 Division. I don't know what the Midwest team will have but they could have a lot. The Toronto teams will be strong I am sure and the Blades are one of the top Minnesota 02 teams.
