I see what you're saying. The Minnesota team ran two lines in the 3rd also because of frustration. That's when the flood gates opened. Imagine, running two lines and some of the guys sitting on the bench will be playing in the USHL and Division 1 hockey. Pretty good team if you can sit those kind of guys down. They just let their 6 NHL draft picks do the work.

To say the loaded MN team never was matched by an in-state team anywhere in the US is false. Maybe a ND team, but I played for the Minnesota Blades (the Minnesota 88's our biggest rival) we tied them 2-2. The team with all the superstars was called the Minnesota 88's (who defected from the Blades to form their own team).

Thanks Pek.

You mean thats why I didn't make all conference and all state. I could really care less if I was all conference or all state, those labels are very nice, but they don't do anything to help get me on a team. On another note I used to think that NAHL tryouts have a lot of not so talented players try out for their teams. This is not the case. Maybe you can tell me the NAHL tryout you attended in which you gathered that information? Obviously there are a few guys who are maybe in over their head, but the quality of the previous F-M Jets camp was very good. If you were to look at the rosters of the camp you would see how good it really was. Notable players were: Phil Fox, Jesse Echternach, Tom Jensen, Robert Carr, David Larson (all Jets players), Jordan Yindiphol, Andrew Muir, Paul Campbell, Andy Peterson and Keaton Smith many other NAHL players attended the camp. In all the level of competition at any of these camps is going to be higher than your High School hockey game. The players in general are bigger, stronger, faster, and smarter than your typical high school kid. Obviously there are exceptions to the rule (Weisgarber, Galt, Mihulka, Dittus, Jundt).

Where in my posts have I belittled or bragged about a specific team? Just because we joined today to stand up for ourselves we are placed in the same category as those who abuse this message board? Come on buddy.

I think it's fairly obvious who I am. I'm just here to clarify that no matter what any one in here says about us or how bad you think we are, it isn't going to change anything about the way we play or how we carry ourselves. Maybe we'll play after high school, maybe not. But we are going to try. Sorry if this comes off as arrogant to post as ourselves but we felt it was time to be the bigger man. If anyone wants to criticize our play feel free to send us a private message. We know what we are capable of, and we are not going to let some kids from another high school run around on this board talking how great they are and how bad we are without naming themselves to be open to be criticized aswell. To everyone else, thanks for the support. See ya on the ice.
