Next they'll have kids committing in mites. Wasn't Don the one bitching that they have to recruit younger. Moorhead has a few good mites. I could spend this season scouting and send my findings to Berry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz Boy Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 51 minutes ago, The Sicatoka said: I'd love to hear Tucker Poolman's thoughts on the subject. I've watched these two play several times and no question they are a constant threat and can generate tremendous offense. Even though it's a long way to big boy hockey and there are a lot of other kids who don't really come into it until age 15-16, it's still quite an accomplishment. All the best to them. I look forward to watching them succeed; just not against the Sioux. Hengen's quotes are a bit over the top, although I'm not sure what else he can possibly say given the circumstances. Things become a bit self-fulfilling in elite youth hockey groupthink. My only recommendation to those talented, team-first, grinder-type kids who never get noticed on the absurd "it's all about the goals" youthhockeyhub strokefest is that they keep working and playing hard for as long as they love it. Plenty of roads to get where you want to be, whether it's hockey or your next passion. taz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were absolutely shredding the top bantams in the state (and they were the youngest players). I mean, their parents built them an entire school to play/practice everyday.

At least it's no longer in Ann Arbor. They've gotten some duds out of the program too though. Unless someone's a blue chip out of the program we haven't been afraid to tell them to develop more in the USHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kid obviously backed out of Harvard because he wanted to focus 99% on hockey. I thought UND may have been in the running....until I saw he was from Michigan.
