This year a poor start isn't going to doom them unless they let it. They can improve if they choose to. Gotta decide if as a player and team how bad you want it. Eat fast food, soda, and not take strength training seriously, would tell me they don't want it bad enough. Want to be a player that scores goals? Put in the work, I don't believe in crap about someone being "born with it", whether that is sports or any other endeavor in life. You work hard enough you can be a goal scorer too. They certainly have the coaches and people in that community to help them achieve their goals. The knowledge and experience in the Grand Rapids hockey community is overwhelming.

Sam Rendle at quarter pounders with cheese and drank mountain dew every day. Kid was a stallion.

How much better without that kind of food though? Performance is always enhanced with better nutrition. Of course Sam had mad skills. And to quote famous author Tim Ferris, "correlation does not mean causation". Take any athlete off fast food and put them on diet without highly processed food and excessive sugar and performance will get better every single time, even when performance is already at a high level. My favorite web sites for training and nutrition are startingstrength.com and barbellmedicine.com

Was being sarcastic to a degree (although that is how he at as a sophomore in high school). But, I think fewer high school athletes take nutrition seriously. I have read a lot of stuff about college athletes saying that the nutrition was the biggest adjustment to college sports. That's over weights, speed of the game, practice time, etc.

In short - I do agree with you.

It does make me wonder why so often HS athletes don't get better advice on nutrition. Certainly don't listen to your health teacher in school. I'd bet the information there is very outdated, hopefully not so terrible they still teach the food pyramid.

I can only comment on Marshall.

1-0 over Hermantown
1-0 over Duluth Denfeld
0-0 vs. Cloquet

All were 1 - (17) minute period.

And I catch the end of Ashland and Proctor and it ended 1-1.

CEC best Denfeld and tied Hermantown and Marshall. Hermantown will be in the championship game for single A playoffs for the 11th year in a row. Marshall looked very dangerous. CEC looked very, very nice

. It was fun to watch all the squads that’s for sure. Does Denfeld have a JV this year?

From what I heard Denfeld is Not doing a JV this year.
