i just looked it up. In MN kids have to be 5 by 9/1 which is when they’d start. I’m not for or against btw, I just noticed the trend the past ten years or so. I’d holdback with my kids, especially boys. What the east coasters are doing is wild though.

Yeah I’m aware of Canadas ages, fine unless your kid is a Dec birthdate. They’ll get lost like their hockey players do. I will say, if a MN kid is born in June or July, or even early August….they had the chance to enter K at 5. Its parents holding back, not teachers in almost all cases. When I grew up 9/1 was the start date for K. Now it seems it’s 6/1 to follow the MN hockey age cutoff Whats even more wild, look out east…I just saw a 2030 grad with a January birthdate at 15 natty camp. Nuts

Lots of good players on there, the 2010 level has a ton of good players not eligible either, must be later 10s. A ton of them are summer birthdate holdbacks. 2011s will be similar. I know it’ll be rare for players to commit early in this new world, but I hope Thompson does. Strong GF ties plus he plays a very very responsible game. He’d fit in nicely.
-
Agreed. Ridiculously high IQ but very very short. Stocky but again, very short. He’s always been a top pt producer at the 09 birth year, but has gotten looked over due to his height. I think he’d be a great get, similar to Swanson. Offensive dynamo that will almost certainly be a 4 year guy (maybe 5 )
-
Very solid player.
-
They’ve been really bad for a while
-
This…I’m sick of watching HE and ECAC games. If they can do it so can we.
-
100% I could see a scenario where he accelerates and plays with Wyatt next year.
-
Really good get. Really like Harper’s game. Keeps getting better every year.
-
WJSS invites are out for USA, I thought Lindberg may get a sniff. Simpson and Sanderson invited.
-
Freddie is high end. Didn’t have quite the start he wanted and eventually tore his achilles once he started finding his groove. He’s really really good.
-
Brayden Willis to the goofs, I though we had been in on him.
-
It was between MN and DU…not too sure we were ever going to be a 1-2 finalist. We’re always top 3 though
-
DU is in on Freddie too I believe
-
Watch….it’ll be rucks haha
-
100% I could be very wrong, however I would be shocked if they committed prior to next summer. There’s really no point to be honest. Maybe behind the scene, but not publicly. I’m hearing rucks are most likely coming to UND if they play ncaa. But again, in this new world it only matters if they actually show up. Things can change so fast.

No, he’s two years older than everyone else. I’d say second round max, most likely 3-4th. -

Until Carels is on campus there’s always concern. However, Rangers won’t be good next year and do have some dmen that could play. They didn’t rush Emery I doubt they’d rush Carels -
Huge…hockey’s path was so great because it gave late bloomers a chance. I’m fine with removing 25 year olds and guys who’ve already played pro, but cutting kids’ path at 22 (in some cases) was a bit aggressive. Especially for those kids who’ve already started HS and will graduate prior to 18.

Clanko reported Belchetz’s nil deal was $200k…those Big10 team really throwing around dough
-
Denver is loading late. D core is super fun on paper, they’ll be young though.
-
Yes, those are facts.
-
Williams wasn’t the best F this year on the Blades. Klimpke is nice, excited for him to come in next year. Should have a great role from the get go.
-
Really nice get. If they add DuPont or Rudolph…some scary stuff.
