Johnny Five

That'll be a little more challenging.

Must've been 3 unbelievable apples! Yeah, those camps just print money. "I wanna see where johnny stacks up!"....."It's the only chance for johnny to get noticed!!!"... Take that $550, and in gas, hotel and food and there's your bottom line....and then when #9 for Austin snaps a twig on a one T next year, goes to the bench to get a new one, watch your money fly off the bench and into his hands. It is a genius business model for JR teams. Funny thing is, college programs are starting to run "exposure camps" as well (at least women teams are I know that for a fact).

She will be getting some large schools offering.

Hearing rumors that Minot High is getting cleared out with defections as well. With the loaded senior class gone and now 4-5 players bolting....woof.

places like fox motors stroke the parents ego and make all the promises until the check is cashed. then reality hits. I think there were 3 that left Bismarck this year. "they just love hockey this was their idea." OK....

once again, boys and girls leave the state high and dry and come back and get spots. drives me nuts, but I guess their hands are tied.

Leaving for sports is pretty specific for hockey. Although there are kids and families who may move or leave and label it something else, hockey is the only sport where it's a cash cow for suckers.

Imagine tossing that money around before a kid even hits the ice for a HS game...or maybe even bantams.

Slapshot hockey style coaching for one. Running refs out of town for 2.

It's worth it when: a) money is easily available. and b) IF you hoist. B is a tall task for any college program but if Penn State starts tossing money around, watch out.

That was an incredible comeback.

Awesome opportunity for boys hockey players. Nice work fellas.

heatdaddy had his own niche going before jordo hopped in.

Not something I can control as a spectator. Just stating the facts.

Except having the consolation games across town at Eagles gives Fargo and Scheels/FU the edge. If the Olympic was remodeled to be able to be a more convenient host....sure.
