    Guessing the odds of USA Hockey going against NDAHA are slim and none.

    Good for Wes. The public shaming of him on social media was pathetic and embarrassing. It's hard to get hockey coaches the way it is in Bismarck, I'm guessing the number of applicants for this one after that will be slim to none.
  3. Johnny Five
    Both I do believe.

    I can speak on the girls side...not on the boys side, my son never had interest in Team ND or pursuing post HS hockey. I think we talked about earlier in this thread, the amount of girls that have graduated from ND hockey and made a Division 1 roster is minimal. There have been quite a few that have left ND for greener pastures and went D1. Would they have made it had they stayed? Nobody knows. Are the 10-15 girls who could be playing HS hockey in ND who left going to make D1 hockey? Some, yes. Some no. Time will tell.... Problem is...you have a daughter who loves the game, works at it, dreams of playing D1 hockey. Go to a tournament or a camp and they're told "you need to get out of ND." What do you do? There is no Juniors for girls hockey players. Their JR and SR year is their "juniors" experience. So girls do Team ND in the fall, then drop back to their 15U and HS teams and the level of play just drops. The intent being, play that level year round...with like minded girls...and your game elevates. Because every HS team has maybe 2-3 girls (if they're lucky) who actually prioritize hockey. The former UND coach literally looked Britta Curl in the face and said she needs to get out of ND. She stuck to her guns but got recognized outside of ND hockey (USA HP), got a scholarship to Wisconsin, has a Gold medal, etc. She's the .0001 %. So do I blame families for leaving? No. Would this be enticing? Yes, once the kinks are worked out. Do I want to move my daughter somewhere because of hockey? Also no. Am I glad there are people looking to create different avenues for kids? Absolutely.

    I can agree with that. Advantage, males.

    Due to the high number of boys and girls leaving ND, status quo is not working.

    Fall of 2023 NDAHA Board Meeting Minutes. 2nd page. A full out discussion about a year round AAA program (think sioux falls power) being run in ND. Sounds like the wheels are being greased. Heard rumors of this at the State Tournament, but hadn't seen that it was officially discussed. Curious how this is going to play out. https://ndaha.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/NDAHA-2023-Fall-BOD-Meeting-Minutes.pdf

    Well...that could be. If that's what it derived from, so be it. Every city could and should put more emphasis on girls hockey.

    Now as a girl hockey dad, I thought what Grand Forks is doing with this is pretty cool. A position within GF youth hockey to grow, develop and retain girls hockey players. Solid move.... https://cdn1.sportngin.com/attachments/document/c8bb-3142544/GFYHA_Girls_Growth_and_Development_Director__1_.pdf?_gl=1*13b3iwb*_ga*NTE2ODU4MzcxLjE3MTAzMjczMDQ.*_ga_PQ25JN9PJ8*MTcxMDMyNzMwNS4xLjAuMTcxMDMyNzMwNS4wLjAuMA..#_ga=2.62056172.1745848950.1710327307-516858371.1710327304

    That's probably one reason why organizations today are spending 100K a year on program directors...although "last name" perceptions remain the same regardless.

    Perfect example of development. B1 kids can play varsity hockey in Grand Forks, Fargo, etc. Puberty and work ethic does amazing things.

    Chanhassen was rolling in the second period. Edina cranked it up in the 3rd. And with that....HS hockey season is complete. That sucks.
  13. Johnny Five
    Many teams could. Including Warroad and EGF. Always respect Roseau for playing up. But holy class what a day for Class A hockey semifinals.

    This guy updates daily: I heard Section 8 was "blocking" the live feed. Maybe they had to make a back door deal. The rink will be packed and we all get to benefit.

    Warroad v EGF on KNOX YouTube tonight for the 8A title. Should be a dandy.
