I know we are into the first year of the new transfer rule and would like to hear opinions on what people think. Is this stopping kids from transferring for hockey reasons. I personally don't think it will make much difference. If a kid wants to transfer it is not very hard for parents to move,especially in the metro area

How did Elk River and Moorhead do last year? Works great!

I think being that it just started this year, we will have to wait until next year to see what happens.

Well, it's workin great.

Catholics schools won the tournaments so the transfer rule was successful in keeping the public schools from stockpiling transfered talent which was its main purpoose.

At least, thats how I understood it.

No the transfer rule is not working because two private schools won the state tournament this year.

It's really too early to tell. Kids were still able to transfer for the current year under the old rule, which didn't take effect until 4/1/07. Most of the kids thinking about transferring new about the rule and got their paperwork in process before that date.

We may start to see more of an effect this coming year.

I have a question about the rule where you can play at your old school during the first year of a transfer. I know has been talk on this board about a kid who transferred from Harding to North St. Paul for the current year and still played varsity for the Johnson/Harding coop. Does anyone know of anyone else that took advantage of this rule and played for their old school rather than sitting out a year of varsity play?

We tried to warn R. A. S. H.!
Don't forget that SCC and BSM were still playing on the last day of the tourney... I guess R. A. S. H. got its wish in bringing back the Catholic tourney, too.

Sars has always been open to those who want to wear the Black/Red/White, hasn't he?

The Elks have always been one school that knows how to avoid the transfer rules...

As Sars once told me, never saw a kid he didn't like... especially from Buffalo, St. Michael, Monticello, Andover, Blaine, Princeton...

I think the R.A.S.H. agents miscalculated and shot themselves in the foot.

The transfer rule, which was meant to be the MSHSL's version of the Nuremberg Laws, will not defeat the Catholics nor the agents of COBRA.
