nope...see small and big...the big agencies don't want to dip that young, but they are finding they have to. If you go to a bantam major game in Toronto area they have scouts rooms. Think about it, the WHL drafts kids at 14/15. if they don't have an advisor leading into that draft, then they are essentially at the mercy of the league...think about NTDP 40 man camp, every one of those kids at age 15/16 for sure has an advisor advocating and advising them...at 16 they are talking to schools...In other words, the train starts to move fast at 14.

I will keep working HARDER to make LONGER posts

x1000000 and if you aren't with one at 13 you likely aren't a chippa

yeah, that happened...but man, I miss the hunt

man....we all got older...what happened : )

yes, that was fun

20% from players???? The NHLPA caps agents rips at 3%...

mine are less...they don't exist anymore....all k1s and 1099s at this point

I agree with you. The world doesn't work for culture. The world works for money. End of the day, all anybody wants is $2M liquid and a nice little house and truck that are paid for. Once you have that, you are f'ing gold. There's a great scene in the movie "The Gambler" about this exactly.

If it didn't come from a realiable number with a reference to something or someone to connect you to it, its a fraud

what did we do when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor??!

brother, my eyes, skin and nose would show you that i was closer to the guy taking his scalp!!

Another guy that did his very best for the program. I will never think of him as anything but a Sioux warrior. In 1870, the Sioux were the finest light cavalry the world had ever seen...kill ratios that rival modern SEAL teams...outnumbered and outgunned...never quit...that all came from FAMILY. Let's not forget that we are extended members of the Sioux family.

It isn't for these chippaz...there is a lot more out there....

such has always been the state of the world my friend

Can you imagine if KEM dropped $1M on Gavin McKenna???!!!!

This is a make or break moment in the history of SIoux hockey...the same way the Ralph set us up for 20 years of competitive play. Right now, we need massive NIL$ and we need to go snag the best possible guys out there. Chippas laugh at 23 year olds playing college hockey...chippas won't ever sniff the NAHL...chippas need to run and we need some NOW or else we are never getting back

and if said player is a chippa and its Pat Brisson on the phone....

I have heard the room was not a family...it was by the accounts i heard, completely F'd up

I think these boys are smarter than this...if they aren't...God help them when they have a couple million bucks

sadly, i have heard the same...now that we are back to this topic

he just went rogue?

I'll actually challnege back...do you believe he made a decision to leave UND without talking to his agent or the NHL club that drafted him in the first round? He just went wild child and blew it all up?

never had a source....but I know how the convesations go between chippas and agents.

I wouldn't
