C Bantam Goalie needed at Coon Rapids

[the_juiceman]

Thanks to those that actually stayed on subject. Here is the scoop. We have 3 teams B1, B2 and C. 3 goalies - returning Ban A and 2 PW A from last year. B1 coach would like to keep 2 goalies. The only reason that we are looking for a C goalie is that our association only allows kids to waive in at the lowest level.

Number of players at mites has been growing the last couple of years and this year looks to be the same.

As far as not having an A team. 36 skaters total. Of the 15 that were on the A PW team 2 years ago (that won a few district games, I think 2) - 1 at Totino, 1 playing CRHS as a Soph, 1 playing CRHS as a fresh, 2 at Spring Lake Park, 1 on the girls CRHS team and a goalie playing CRHS as a soph.

It sucks, I do not like not having an A team, but at some time you have to take a step back and look at what you have. D10 is a tough grind and we can't afford to keep losing kids out of our association. Is it better to play A and see double digits on the score board or compete at a B1 level? With all respect to the coaches and players, we are not reserving rooms at the B1 state tournament site this year.

Board meeting tonight. No one there but some dedicated board members making sure that kids can play hockey and have some life lessons.

BL5 - when you are at Cook stop by and see me, I really think that you need a hug.

Oh yah - we are still looking for a C goalie. My information is in the first post if you know of anyone.........

Yes, it is a bummer when any association cannot field an "A" team especially when they have always fielded one. CRDirector where do the returning "A" Bantams going to fit into the picture? Correct me if I am wrong, but from what you stated the "A" Peewee team 2 years ago only won 2 district games. If, I remember correctly there were 2 divisions within the A Peewee D10 District Blue and Green as was last year. Did they not place 3rd or 4th in there respective division, but had a better record than the 3rd and 4th place team in the other division? Which tells me they probably did better than average and had more than 2 wins. The reason I remember this is because it was the 1st year of this splitting into 2 divisions and I thought it was pretty strange 1 division was loaded with talented teams due to regards of traveling purposes. Frankly, that would be a successful year, but like you said players either moved out or moved up for this upcoming hockey season. Even though you lost 2 sophomores and a freshmen to the High School as noted this will only hopefully strengthen the High School program. How are your levels at Peewee and Squirts this year as there was not an "A" Squirt team last year

This scenerio plyed out last year with the PW A team. not sure about 2 years ago. I do believe D10 went back to 1 division for all levels.

Humor me old Blue, what's the word?

Humor? Let's just wait it out and see if it's going to be humorous or not

2? why is that?

Juiceman, it's only the word on the street nothing has been confirmed yet. CRDirector may need the hug if it becomes reality

The way it looks you might want to start recruiting another goalie

The CR Director transfered his son (a bantam goalie) to a private school nearby.

News to me! Didn't know he had a 9th grader (goalie) that JUST open enrolled and is transferring to a NON private school. Highly doubt that CRDirector has a 9th grader that plays goalie for CR, unless of course, he is using the new policy that was adapted last year using the 1 time transfer to where the student/player goes to school other than there own residency

I believe is an 8th grader--1st year bantam

Juiceman...Where does this leave them from a goalie stand point then? Are they down to 1 or 2 at the Bantam level?

My bad - it was another goalie that was going to transfer - thats what you get when you listen to the rumor mill.

What? New Ulm doesn't want any return visits? What happened? Didn't this same coach have a problem up north somewhere last year? Loveit...it's not going away til the Director/President steps in. You wonder why players are transferring out? Go figure! If, there was a problem in New Ulm with the same coach take action Director/President it's only hurting the players. Now back to the thread how many goalies does this leave for the Bantam level?

Appears the bleeding has not stopped within CR with players transfering out even when the season has started. With a new Varsity coach at the High School he needs to get involved to close the wounds as this is his feeder program. Alot of Associations has ways of recruiting new players of younger age to play hockey, but what is CR not doing to keep these players from transferring out when they become High School eligible?
