More whiny unskilled privileged kids with overbearing parent cause another coach to say enough. Hope WFU gets their a$$ kicked in every game.

He got caught on film cross checking and slashing his players in practice.

I looked at the youth standings and Minot does have a AA peewee team but not an A team. Instead they have a B1 team that's undefeated. Absolutely asinine 

A lot of associations in Minnesota do that as well.

"Cross check"...yes. Slashing...no. Based on insider info not egregious enough for any disciplinary action but in today's society got protect a teen year old's feelings so that her self esteem is high enough to start her OF page at 18.

HS hockey related but on the MN side. Yesterday the Spud girls played Andover in the 2A 5th place game. Teams split during season with each team winning by a goal. Officiating crew was 2 female referees and 2 male linesman.  13 penalties were called the the Spuds with Andover being awarded four 5x3 PPs. Andover scored on all four 5x3 PPs enroute to a 7-0 win. Both male linesman and the Andover coach apologized to the Spuds coaching staff for the lopsided officiating per reliable source. Spuds had 12 Sr. players out of 20 girls rostered. Tough way to have your HS career end in that fashion.

That's embarassing if the teams were that even during the regular season.  Having not seen the game though, it's tough to complain about the reffing.

Junior gold team number 1

 

 

Numbers are skewed in Minot as well.  Kids cutting themselves/quitting hockey because there aren't 2 HS teams and dont' wanna play Junior Gold.  Minot dropped the ball on this one in the worst way but announcing the split with a school board vote, then caving to the parents who want to win.  

Junior Gold should be eliminated until both teams are cutting kids and there's enough to have a JG.  It's pathetic for Minot Youth Hockey to not get behind the second HS team first by eliminating JG until it's necessary.

Another dynamic is Minot Youth Hockey could give two s**ts about the hs program(s). It’s all about bragging about getting kids to major juniors/D1.

Completely agree.  Fill the high school teams first, then put out your JG team.  Hopefully the Jr. Gold has cleaned up a little bit since the days of the police having to separate people in the lobby and parents getting suspended from arenas because of harassing officials.

So there are 4 BAA teams in ND which is evidently too many because they had a play in game to eliminate one before the state tournament.  What is the logic behind this?  A three team state tournament will draw better?

My bantam team played after said play in game. I asked the coach from WF what this game was all about. He told me and I was like WTF. That makes absolutely no sense. He obviously agreed. With that said his team came back from 3 down and won in double overtime

Want my personal opinion, the state shouldn't support AA hockey.  If GF wants to go AA, they can be independent and schedule all over MN.  They'd rather do that anyway than drive to Bismarck and run time twice.  Should be their choice.

I think the fargos and Bismarck feel if they don’t they will fall even more behind

Could you have a Bantam AA/A level where those that want to compete in AA tournaments in MN could or no?  To GFHockey's point how much farther is that fall, as they are getting creamed anyways?

Fargo and WF could probably pull it off.  Minot and Bismarck are severely hampered by geography and depth.  I'd love to see the A teams records under AA the last 5 or whatever years in Bismarck.  It's brutal.

When one of the proponents of the play-in game concept was asked why play-in games are needed, the reply was, “ So players learn to win in must-win games so they are prepared for HS hockey.”

Bantam AA and Bantam A have play-in games, but Bantam B1 does not. So evidently Bantam B1 players will never play HS hockey. 

Play-in games started last season.

Nd high school has what one play in game
