Early Departures 2019-2020

[O-townClown]

Something I don't mind being wrong about.

That's not to say kids don't leave or that some communities aren't forever impacted. We're not in the 80s/90s era.

Is Exiled One okay? I love that he usually updates this on the first post each year.

Michaelis & Humphrey won't be at Elk River for their senior season. Did we get an answer on Flammang & Laylin? I don't recall reading where they are playing and don't think I saw their names in Elite League.

Laylin is playing with Magicians. Not sure on Flammang.

Sorry, been busy. Added a bunch. Let me know who I missed.

Confirming early posts that Humphrey will join
Michaelis as Elk early depart

That’s too bad. What kind of team the Elks going to have this year? 5-8 seed or possible 3/4 seed. How was the kids leaving early numbers before the latest coach took over.

In this three years as head coach Gustafson hasn't lost kids early at any higher rate than Roberts did before him. In Gordie's four years he lost Blake Hillman, Andrew Zerban and Matt Kiersted. Gustafson so far has only lost Jack Perbix (last year), with Michaelis and Humphrey this coming season would make it 3 kids in 4 years.

There are lots of research showing how a student leaving high school a semester early to participate in spring practice shows more harm than good. Phillip Nelson may be the poster child of this in Minnesota high school football. When you get to hockey most of the “research” comes from USA hockey which is administratively biased against the MSHSL. And of course biased to their leagues.

As for Duluth East, one year is not a trend. Nor is two or even three. Playing I. St Paul in March is far better than playing a NH3HL, or for the most part in NAHL team.

Apples and oranges.

Don’t compare NA3 and the NAHL. The latter is a pay for play league. 1 in 500 will play D1 hockey. In the NAHL - it’s common to see 3-6 or more D1 commits and the rest play D3 hockey. As a Magicians fan - they consistently have 6-10 D1 kids every year. Last 3 goalies were nhl draft picks. There is no fees to play in the NAHL. On certain teams - less revenue squads - players pay $200 month billet fees.

Compare it to the BCHL. THE AJHL and SJHL are also similar.

The USHL is the only league on its own where players don’t pay anything for ANYTHING. All gear is included. Billet fees paid by team. A lot more revenue than the NAHL and anywhere else.

I saw a ton of NHL scouts / and D1 guys at Magician games this year. Only a few at Blaine games presumably to only see Brodzinski.

My two cents
[/quot
Your two cents? A ton would be, what 2,000. My guess is there wasn’t 20 legitimate paid NHL scouts, in fact in might be closer to 2. Most NHL teams had a legit scout to watch Brodzinski.

[O-townClown]

Goldy, a ton is a unit of weight. A ton of NHL scouts is approximately 19, not 2,000. LOL

Are you talking about a horse jockey or NHL scout? Probably more like 8-9 NHL scouts

Flammang showing on Blizzard protected list. Now in St. Cloud this season.

Unclear on all the protected lists is whether or not the Minnesota HS kids playing Junior hockey are planning on before/after.

[WestMetro]

OTC- wont know for sure til November on several of the kids.

Oberle saying at present will be before and after; but if things go well, who knows.

[Dog]

Heard this weekend that Erickson is leaving early from East also? Does anybody know if this is true?

This isn't quite accurate, look a little deeper and you might find a couple more....

I was only accounting for kids who left early to play juniors, not kids who left for Jr Gold, moved out of Elk River, or quit playing hockey.

[Usthockey13]

I saw over the weekend Jeannette isn’t on Waterloo’s 30 man roster. He was listed on the affiliated list

[Usthockey13]

Yes he’s a senior and I don’t see him leaving early.

[kniven]

Agreed

[That guy for that thing]

I saw over the weekend Jeannette isn’t on Waterloo’s 30 man roster. He was listed on the affiliated list

I wonder what he is going to do. He wasn't picked up by an NAHL team. Think Randolph will take him back?

[Usthockey13]

Not sure what will happen but will be interesting to follow

[BP]

That counts as well. There were some '03 tenders on affiliate lists for other teams that will make it. This allows them to bring an extra guy into camp.

Thanks wasn’t sure how that all works

[WestMetro]

Hearing Erickson was at Wilderness camp, but didnt make roster

That would be sweet if Jeanette was back at East for puck. And Logan as well. Those 3 would make a huge difference.

Ok, still not accurate.....
