Try this web. Looks a little outdated in terms of school years, but I think this is still the organization. http://www.girlselitehockey.com/index.htm

Not sure when tryouts are, but I'd get on it ASAP.

My understanding:

Invites went out in May: tryouts were end of June. Notifications for final payments and equip pick-up schedule went out in early Aug. Looks like rosters are set. Not sure timing of Elite II league.

Are they not playing this fall? Nothing on the Hub website at all.

Bless all volunteers but, unfortunately, administration isn't a strong suit.

Schedule now posted on the girls hub.

I know you aren't trying to be be critical but they are doing fine with the Admin. The Girls have known the critical dates/times (including game days) for quite a while. Now they have the actual game time and opponent. I'm not sure there would be a fall league without their effort.

They must have rosters by now...Right?

Speaking from experience, the Elite II did not have very good competition, very sloppy play and slow. Looking at the Elite I, it sounds like it might be a secret as to how one actually gets on a team....Looks like they might be scared to get some real competition from girls that are not from the Metro area......Guess what??? There is some REAL hockey talent north of St. Cloud, people!!!! They should call it the Metro Elite League!!

Thanks for explaining the difference between Elite I and Elite II

There is some REAL hockey talent north of St. Cloud, people!!!! They should call it the Metro Elite League!!

It pretty much is. Understandable, given that they practice in the Metro on Wednesday evenings. Check out the schedule -- their weekend games include teams from all over, including several from north of St. Cloud (Manitoba, Thunder Bay, Grand Rapids).

It is curious that neither the U19 MN Northern Starzz (which competed in a Os and NAHA tournaments), nor Thoroughbreds compete in this fall Elite league. But you have HoneyBaked, Team Wisconsin, and some Canadian teams.

... Grand Rapids ...

Here's the roster for the Grand Rapids Blaze http://www.grandrapidsblaze.com/roster.htm It's a stretch to call it a northern MN team. Definitely curious why the U19 MN Northern Starzz are not competing in this league, but they did a number of things this summer (in the metro area and NAHA), and it's a long drive from Warroad.

I don't think Summer AAA teams are eligible to participate in the Elite 1 program.

If that's true (and I am not doubting your word), then I can see both plusses and minuses. On the plus side, not all AAA teams really are loaded with the kind of talent that E1 exists for. On the negative side, it might be what's keeping northern MN talent out of E1.
