I would say Blake is loaded Wethington made the U-18 National team Blake and Breck seem to be part of the OS pipeline. Don't forget about CDH if the Meyers sisters eligibility issues get cleared up they will be a force also. Would be nice to see a conference of CDH, Blake, Breck, BSM, HM, SPU,

Frankly, add in the Rochester school and the Duluth school (am I right that there's a Duluth private school), and that should be a state tournament. They're playing by a different set of rules than the public schools.

And I'm not saying what the privates are doing is a bad thing. The only thing I dislike is that it's taking a lot of talented kids from other schools, where they could get lots of playing time and create a more competitive winter girls' hockey environment. But it is their (parents') choice.

Which is weird, because it's not like Roseville and WBL have been door mats. Roseville is historically a much better team than HM. I suppose it comes down to "my kid has a 2 year window, so who is winning now" type of mentality. I want to keep the competitiveness on the east side right where it is with many strong teams having a decent shot to make state (and do well).

Hadn't seen the final national roster. MW is 14, correct? Must be among the youngest ever. Great for her!

As for an all privates conference, I think with few exceptions, those programs are not at the top of their sections as frequently as this board implies. In Rochester there are too many teams for the numbers involved, and they end up cannibalizing one another since move-ins are more infrequent than the metro. Also more difficult to enroll there without physically moving. Same for Duluth. Marshall is playing varsity for the first time ever. More transfers in that section to Mirage than to Marshall, by a wide margin. JG I'm curious what you think the "different set of rules" implies. With open enrollment it's a wide open field before 9th grade. IMO the issue should be are schools (public or private) playing down when their history, numbers, and talent suggest moving up?

Btw, does anyone know where the BE girls are playing this year?

Yes, LM is transferring to CDH from Roseville.

Well, since she's entering 9th grade, she could be just going to school at CDH (and that may have been her plan all along). Not technically a "transfer". But certainly a player who played varsity last year for one school and now is at another.

BSM has had one bad year after their Ms. Hockey graduated. I'm sure they'll be back around. Hasn't helped them get to the state tournament much, but section realignments could be good for them.

Those aren't rumors from what I heard at the rink this weekend. A top line Roseville forward and 5-6 WBL U14 girls are going to the Pioneers.

Roseville is getting gutted this offseason.

Roseville Senior transfer is not a top line forward. Will be lucky to make the squad. WBL kid (if she comes) will help in the future.

SPU said goodbye to Cole..new coach in place
Farmington going to SSM
Mad Cap girl playing with Woodbury in summer scrimmages

Roseville numbers appear down but don't know how they are gutted by losing one player, maybe more are leaving

I don't know if a 12-12 team would be considered good or strong..Average at best would be my thought..the influx of 1 player would help some

What about the girl from revolution?

This is what I meant when I said "gutted."

Between graduation and transfers, losing your top goalie, an all conference defender, your leading scorer, and a player (to a conference rival) who would likely be a top-4 defender this year is never good.

They have a great player in 7th grade who plays PeeWee A (was the captain last year as a first-year) but the numbers are low on the girls side. Only 7-8 girls in 7th grade are playing.

If you think that player from Roseville will be lucky to make that squad, you are crazy. Now with that, I will qualify that HM has some really nice players, but you're talking about a Jr. Whitecap player... Maybe not a high scorer, but certainly knows how to move a puck. You don't get to play Jr Whitecaps if you're marginal...that is a fact.
