So many people talking about AA/NE. Why isn't anyone talking about this?

Maybe because they aren't beating any of your/our teams yet?

Let me get this right. I just read an article.
Northern Edge spent $100,000 for classrooms to be built at Super rink - Only to walk away from that investment.
Northern Edge Co-founder walked away from the program.
Northern Edge walked away from contract with City of Eagan.
Northern Edge is seeking money from investors to purchase Vadnais heights Sport complex for only $13 million?

What is the exact reason that "Northern Edge Co-founder walked away from the program"?

Who knows? Any which way its not a good sign. At one point Northern Edge was telling the parents they were planning to build a facility in Lakeville with 4 rinks attached and a school. Of course that's when they also stated:
Would you rather pay $40K+ to attend Shattuck or Pay $12K+ to attend Northern Educate.
That was their slogan......

Do you really think the cost is why xyz student went to AA not Shattuck? How about getting in to Shattuck? No way a given for 99% of kids regardless of $$. Including mine.

From the parents who's kids attend Northern Educate. Yes! That is the reason their kids go to Northern Educate. In fact, parents are very excited when they communicate that. Kind of make it sound like its the best deal out there. I love hearing. Why pay $40k when I can pay $12k for the same thing. really?
We all know deep down they really don't believe that.
If you look at their AAA team Revolution. They are an average team at best. If you look at their high school. Achiever Academy they are an average team playing very weak high schools. Girls team is doing good though......
To each his own............. right?

Absolutely. The more options the better, especially on the girls side.
My point was only that its pretty darn difficult to get invited to play for Shattuck. The AA teams, at least now being so new, are easier to get on. It's not like all/any of the AA kids turned down Shattuck to go there.
But I'm definitely a supporter of your program.
