Well, I hate to get technical STBS but Farmington got 5th or 6th. Wayzata and Farmington would have had to play each other to determine place.Good recovery. Beat Burnsville. 5th place finish not too shabby at all. Great job Tigers. Keep your heads high!
Not to pat ourselves on the back but Rosemount was one of the few final teams to roll lines for the entire tournament. Farmington played there powerplay line almost the whole 2nd period vs tonka. (when they scrimaged tonka and 7 kids there when the games started and they were fightin illness so cant really count that as a quality win) Edina shortened the bench big time and we thought that Dornbach, Bellows and Zuhlsdorf would get tired and we'd take over but they didn't. I'm not making excuses and we play a team game and there top line out played us. Congrats to Edina on victory and I'm glad to say that we beat you guys in Bloomington. Maybe we should get together for game 3 and see who wins the series.SmallTownBigStick wrote:Tigers had gone undefeated all year using 3 lines and beat MTKA using 3 lines a week or so ago---not only 6 skaters. It was a knee jerk reaction to an early deficit that cost them a shot.
Oh well. Hind site...
Muck & Dog, good points...but since other people are using the POST GAME FATIGUE and mental let down after a tough loss gig, you gotta believe the Tigers had a bit of that after Mtka-let Burnsville hang a round a bit.
It was a great run. It's been a great year. Rosemount is still on the ticket. Good luck Tigers! STBS is out!
Dont break you arm.... First of all, for a metro Team you only have 13 skaters. Thats a huge advantage initself. Second of all , your bench was shortened just like Edina's throughout the OT. I wont name names but your coaches boy hardly left the ice!benw wrote: Not to pat ourselves on the back but Rosemount was one of the few final teams to roll lines for the entire tournament.
I get a kick out of listening to you guys talk about shortened benches.GF Blues is'nt even a try out team.You get on the team as a mite and you stay on the team for three years, moving up each year.As far as rolling lines we played 8 forwards 4 D equal except the last 5 min. of the Wayzata game. Oh and by the way our goalie was a forward up until jan. when an illness forsed him to eather play goalie or not play at all. All you need is good coaching and hardworking kids. Its sad that you have 100 plus kids to pick from and still have to shorten the bench to compete.The GF Blues made it to the top 8. In the last month they beet the Wi fire, manhandled the Flyers twice 9-1 and 6-2. Metro teams get your heads out of the sand and look around there is alot of good hockey out there.buttend wrote:Dont break you arm.... First of all, for a metro Team you only have 13 skaters.

Dakota, 12 kids is hardly rolling lines, Playing two centers and 4 D makes a big difference when you can have 7 of your top kids on the ice every other shift Especially at this age when one kid can take over a game. Many teams in the cities have a full roster of 17 kids. (three lines and two goalies) I know that Burnsville (also a final 8 team) has an equal play policy at squirts and does abide...even in the last two minutes of the game..All of you tourney winners over the last few years minus Edina's team of last year (Only because they had 15 top end kids)shorten their bench to win the tourney...CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You won a squirt tourney.. what does that have to do with development.. some of those kids that didn't see "powerplay penalty killing" lines will never get the chance to prove themselves in peewees and bantams cause they never were put in the position as squirts and won't know what to do. I have seen it happen. It is great that a third line squirt player has a FARGO medal to display on his shelf when he gets cut by the Bantam coach in two years.dakotakid wrote:I get a kick out of listening to you guys talk about shortened benches.GF Blues is'nt even a try out team.You get on the team as a mite and you stay on the team for three years, moving up each year.As far as rolling lines we played 8 forwards 4 D equal except the last 5 min. of the Wayzata game.

How about associations that only have 35-36 skaters...would you go with two teams of 17-18 skaters each, or three teams of 11-12 skaters each?puckfan wrote:Dakota........you can't be serious are you?
I saw your squad and they are very good too but putting your best player out every other shift and saying that you rolled your lines equally is a joke.
When you (and many others buck up and fill your squads out) then you can talk about "rolling lines" equally.
just my opinion
How are the GF teams (Supras and Blues) and the Fargo teams(Angels/Flyers(South)/Raiders(North)) split? Do the teams get split by geography or do they choose which team they want to tryout for?

As I said the Blues [Do not have tryouts].It is first come first serve.All you have to do is make a phone call when your son is a mite age player and your on the team. same with the Supras, kids tend to play where thair brothers or neighbors have played. Supras do have tryouts at squirts. 9F,4D,1G. Is a full squad in my book.Not our fault a player got sick and had to play goalie or quit. That is way we ran 2 centers 3 sets of wings.dakotakid wrote:puckfan wrote:Dakota........you can't be serious are you?

So they have no residency restrictions for these teams? The Blues draw from anywhere in the GF area?As I said the Blues [Do not have tryouts].It is first come first serve.All you have to do is make a phone call when your son is a mite age player and your on the team. same with the Supras, kids tend to play where thair brothers or neighbors have played.

You can change clubs but the two clubs have an agreement not to take each others players. so there is very little of that. First year you are a sguirt B second year your a squirt A . Only Grand Forks kids can play. Fargo does it similar to the metro areapuckfan wrote:So they have no residency restrictions for these teams?

Can a MN kid from EGF play there?
Can they change from the Blues to Supras or once you start with a club you are there for as long as you play?
If they don't have a tryout, how do they select the A and B squads?
What do the Angels/Flyers/Raiders follow (anybody know)?
