I never mentioned MN hockey. I think it's ridiculous that ND tries to copy MN hockey for the reasons you mentioned. I'm a proponent of AAA hockey to afford the better players the opportunity to play 80 games against better competition to improve their abilities to move up to a higher level without leaving home.
gfhockey got that right. Most ND peewee and bantam teams have already played 10-15 games.
ND high school hockey is still 2 weeks away from even starting.
Big mistake in not starting AAA hockey in ND. The better kids that are leaving would be able to stay home and get the 70-80 game schedule.
That would let the next tier of kids to move up to play high school instead of quitting or playing Midget Gold.
No you don't have to respond. I don't care about your opinion because you have no clue what you are talking about. You newbees are the ones ruining this forum.
Never heard of her, but Google knows everything. What would she say? That she made it quicker than most because she was more talented. There is always one that stands out in any sport. So you're comparing the quantity and competitiveness of men and women ice hockey. I think there is a big difference and the road to moving up is quite different.
