I also read that Nick Oliver hurt himself in a Force game and might be out a few weeks...but that he was returning to Roseau.

None of these guys are doing the before and after thing like Oliver?
And I see that Joey Benik of St. Francis is on the MN Owls (MnJHL)...I assume he's heading back to the Saints come season's start?

Wow funny, we haven't heard this complaint before. Maybe for ding dongs like you who love arguements, we should post, four years from now, all the players who stayed four years of high school and played after high school. The results would be overwhelming. Alot more kids stay then leave so your pissing and moaning is getting old.

Or you could look at it positvely and say that 10-12 more kids got that chance for exposure in the Elite League that otherwise would not have.

Joey is going back to play for the Saint Francis Fighting Saints and break every scoring record that they have. He will be returning to the Owls who play in Isanti after the high school season. He had a great final game before leaving for three months as he scored two and chipped in an assist last Sunday night. Good luck Joey in Saint Francis!!!

Yea that's an embarassing moment, glad these posts are anonymous. I guess this board has become the home of sarcasm so I made a misjudgement on your tone. There are many people who think it isn't "doing its job" so I hope you understand my misunderstanding. I apologize.

No problem. I am not a fan of the way the league is run and how the kids are "chosen" but I do think it is doing its job in keeping more kids home.

Some pretty big hits to some contending teams. I think Mayo, New Prague and Blake are going to miss their stars the most. Eden Prairie losing three potential varsity players doesn't help their chances much.
