YHH made a decision to cover some high school games with game stories. Based on reader response, we will do more stories like this. Our slant on writing these stories is to link them with kids past to give the reader a feel for how the high schooler's got to the game. It sort of completes the youth development story in Minnesota.

Our first game is posted and can be read at:

FYI...Hudson Fasching and Clint Lewis are not Burnsville players. Fasching played at Apple Valley and Lewis is from Lakeville South.

"Austin, Labosky, and T. J. Moore were the core of Edina’s peewee A team for two years."

Neither Moore nor Labosky played two years of Peewee A for Edina.

I know where they played and I also know they list their residence as Burnsviulle, not Apple Valley and Lakeville. Therefore they "could" have played for Burnsville. Note the real point was to contrast BSM which strictly recruits players from high schools whose associations develop players.

The Red Knights are fast becoming the "New York Yankees" of high school hockey and the Edina's, Burnsvilles and Wayzatas are becoming the "Kansas City Athletics" an American League team (pre-Royals) that acted like a "farm team" for the Yankees in the late 50's and early sixties.

The question for high school fans, is that all right or not? It has been debated here before many times. The story tried to tie that all together

They were 2 year bantam players for edina if i remember correctly before they joined BSM there freshman year so really just 1 year and the start of another

PeeWee B their first year?

Did someone compare Kansas city baseball to
Edina high school hockey. Let's see Kansas city develops
Players and once developed they go to new York etc.
Edina hockey been to state like six years in a row and two championships
In that amount of time. Proposterous statement tournament eligible
If you know what I mean .

My guess is that they were in the AV and LS school districts respectively regardless of what city appears on their address or they wouldn't have been able to play youth in their associations. (They predated the Minnesota Hockey open enrollment bylaw). They COULD have played anywhere and linking them to Burnsville HS would be no different than if you tried to link them to Rosemount or Eastview.

They couldn't have played at Burnsville anymore then they could have played at Duluth East. You sound like Barrerio without the credentials.

hudson f and aj mickalson both played for apple valley

Burnsvlle association is required to accept all kids residing in Burnsville since the all residents of Burnsville pay for the arena even if their kids go to Lakeville, Prior Lake/Savage, Eagan, Eastview, or Apple Valley schools. All those school districts have parts of Burnsville in their area.

If the association did not agree to that then the association would lose priority on prime winter ice hours. The priority for ice hours in the winter is what makes the association. Without it, they would have to scramble for ice and most likely cease to exist.

It is one of the reasons, these types of situations, the overlapping of cities and multiple school districts that the resident or school rule was adopted by Minnesota Hockey.

Note there is another power center starting to emerge at the youth hockey level; districts have organized the referees such every youth game played in a district arena has to be refereed by a district assigned referee. These referees are starting to dictate where games can be played.

Austin made BB1 as a first year and bolted for Blake as an 8th grader.

Eventually, kids start to grow up. A short story that links peewee A to high school with a good picture. The shooter in the picture is Kevin Fellows, now playing Bantam A for a good Prior Lake team and a strong candidate to put on a show at high school next year.

Posted a game story Jefferson/Prior Lake last night. The story looks at the game from the Section 2AA seeding perspective.
