Kind of surprising at the amount of kids that go up to Alaska to play.

I could make a crude joke about them hearing that the governor's daughter is about to turn 18 or something.

Instead I'll just say I've always wanted to visit Alaska. Sounds pretty and friends rave about it.

Crawl back into your cave Dave.

This looks like it will be an amazing weekend of hockey. Toughest part will be choosing which games to watch! What a line up.

Good teams to watch;

Bobcats,
Topeka
Ice Dogs
Outlaws
Blues
NTDP


Unfortunately the 3 MN teams will not be strong this year. Heard the Express turned down opportunity to play Shattuck Varsity for fear of losing.

Wells,

You don't know what you are talking about. Tell us what u know about the MN based teams in the NAHL. Albert Lea, Owatonna and Alexandria...

Good way to get scouted by a couple of D1 programs!

Express are a HUGE disappointment and embarrasment to all involved in that giant ownership group. Hope they can get some strength by adding kids from USHL bubble.

Al Lea is just very new and should break .250 Could do better.

Alex, will be the better of the 3 teams.

Is Flip playing nets?

Did anyone catch any of the NAHL Prospect games up at the Super Rink? I heard there are teams on all the rinks. Couldn't get away today, but hoping to watch some good games Sat and Sun. I think there are Blades teams at all the divisions (U14, U16, U18). Can anyone confirm - haven't been able to find rosters on line but haven't tried to hard yet.
