Also remember, MN goes by birthday, not year...if he has birthday after July 1, he is considered a year younger.

I dispute #6- I assume you mean WBL had Hot hockey mom's meaning their always complaining about every call the ref makes. Don't even get me started on the dad's that have their noses stuck to the glass each and every game.jancze5 wrote:Brats
Just did this whole scenario 2 years ago...here's the skinny.
1-pick a house based on your travel to work
2-look online for QUALITY school districts
3-consider that hockey in Minnesota is school district based
4-If your kid is nasty, he should come visit Shattuck
5-The Larger associations seem to have an advantage overall by pure numbers, but the reality is that there are many many associations around the cities that have excellent coaches and programs
6-people here hate private schools and AAA, so don't talk about them or even mention them, just move, buy a house, drop your kid off at tryouts and don't let anyone know where you came from or where your kid is going to school
6-there are alot of hot hockey moms in White Bear Lake and Edina (Forrest Lake too!),
7-outside of hockey you have to consider travel to work, access to stuff your wife likes to do, buses to school or not
8-there is a guy Elliott up NORT' that can give you good advice on the northern part of the state, if you're an outdoors guy and have an Arctic Cat jacket, see him
9-just find a house you love in an area you like and everything else will take care of itself, don't worry about hockey
