It may not happen, just rumblings from what I hear. Then again I heard they will have another import this year as well from Green Bay, last year Canada, must be top notch learning going on there...
They should contemplate just renaming it Velocity / Breakaway High as the church aspect is really kind of a joke IMO.
While I don’t disagree with the church aspect being a joke with this institution, I think you overestimate the cooperation of Velocity and Breakaway here. They’re more like rivals than HF partners.
As for people finding other ways around transferring, you need look no further than the Fire themselves. After all, it was only a few years ago they had a player from out of town living in the locker room until he was caught by arena staff.

Noel Rahn owns Velocity ...
Exactly. And Breakaway is Velocity’s competition. I don’t think Breakaway is exactly a HF recruiting ground, though I’m sure due to simple geography a few kids have passed through both.

I’m sorry 62 - I thought you meant velocity and breakaway were competitors to HF. My bad
I agree with the proximity of Chaska and Victoria - maybe some have passed through no doubt. Plus usually “promises” are made when kids attend HF.
Whatever happened to bantam goalie Eli Andrews? He was solid at Edina. Ends up at EP. Then HF tweets welcome to the H Family Eli along with Pinoniemi. Then those tweets get deleted. He disappears. Conan Hayton and Bailey Huber shows up. So weird.
612, looked back at my post and your confusion is warranted. As for Andrews, I don’t know why he never went to HF (not sure on the timeline here but maybe caught wind of Huber?), but I believe he has quit hockey all together.
I'll eat my hat if the Raiders have a better season than Blake. Obviously Gleason is an incredible HS player, but last season he looked mainly frustrated against good teams because they couldn't muster much of an attack.
Blake should be awfully good. They aren't so young anymore.

What’s the word on Connor Mahony? Is he at BSM?
Blake
Oh for crying out loud, talk about the rich getting richer. I’d set the line for the Breck/Blake games this season at about Blake -4.5 goals. Blake’s IMAC games will be ugly.
MinnScout - now that Mahony name is out , would you care to be the first to announce any newly arrived BSM high scorers that we will see in Knight uniform at the Braemar festival?

With Elite League tryouts same weekend as Edina tournament not sure if you will see GE or a number of other BSM returners.
I've always wondered why they can't figure out how to avoid that?

This is an interesting one. I figured it would be hard to stay where he was and still pursue hockey. A nice player I saw with both Blizzard 18U and Fall Tier I 16U. He'll do well wherever he plays.

Soooo....his parents must have moved out of Bloomington in order for him to be eligible to transfer from Providence to BSM after 9th grade?

Selects 15 National Camp is 15-20th so there will be BSM kids missing for that as well. Seems like they should be able to find better weekend.
I’m particularly puzzled how Stramel can be at NatCamp and trying out for HS Elite League at the same time , Im assuming he didn’t get auto acceptance as a freshman (although maybe deserving )
Not to mention being listed on main BEL roster
pending further developments

Oh he won't miss BEL...you don't say no to or ghost the Kingmaker over at YHH

, Will we see Bennett Schimek in a certain private school uniform at the Braemar festival next weekend?
Someone with a kid at GA told me that there's a possibility he goes to the GA high school team...which seems crazy to me. You'd be paying the same $ to go to either GA or STA, as far as education goes I'd have to believe STA is much better.
With the GA owner's kids heading to Michigan for NTDP and Little Caesars I can't see them holding on to that place...they basically started it for their kids because most associations weren't fans of them...just jealous naturally

I can't imagine GA is really a serious consideration. I suppose there are a lot of "possibilities" at this point though
