No good place to put this anymore, but EGF elementary schools did some fitness testing last week . . . my 10 year old daughter did 13 more pull-ups than Casey MIttlestadt.

Luckily the search function on the forum makes it pretty easy.  Reading thru a couple of them...it seems that many of the same points were being made by the same posters...it's just that they are s

Having seen a number of pretty good players the past few days at Scheels Arena I'd have to say that Lukas Zajic from Shattuck St. Mary's has to be on a ton of radars. Effortless skater.  Played on the same line today as TJ Hale from West Fargo.

Others to note:

A.J. Garcia, Victor Plante, Shaeffer Gordon-Carroll (Chicago Mission). Dain Gordon (Bishop Kearney, but is from Denver), Luke Carrithers (Sioux Falls Power, Maple Grove kid).  Cooper Soller (Shattuck).  

Most of these kids were at the evaluation camp, but getting to see them live is just a treat.  I'm just taken back by the skill and creativity.  

*Carrithers not in Fargo this week but saw the Power in West Fargo a few weeks back.

You see Hale and Hakstol? 

Hendrickson looks to be better than his older brothers. 

Nikita Klepov is one to take a look at.

Yep.  Hale played with Zajic and kept up.  He will play D1 somewhere.

Hak's kid has a long way to go at this point.

What's going on at Scheels? I might be in that area needing a break later. 
EDIT: Found it -- https://nationals.usahockey.com/2024youthtieri15o 

Did we decide who TJ Hale's parents are (Ryan and Katie or David)?

I'd recommend anyone in the FM area with time to kill stop and watch these kids play.  The games are only going to get better as the knockout session starts on Friday.  Pool play ends today with most of the final 8 spots already secured.

Ridiculously high end tourney. I didn’t grow up in MN, but live here now. I really wish MN was able to participate in this. And yes, I know it is technically possible for MN teams to make this tourney…but in all reality, it isn’t.

I'm not a fan of this age group playing by the USA hockey rules on the icing while short handed and automatic offsides, but the kids are so skilled they've just adapted.

*Maybe not on the PK, they still ice the puck. :lol:

The real amazing thing is that as high end as it is 15s is a quasi tier2 division... as the higher end 15s will be on their programs 16U team.

But not always so you still end up with some super high-end kid who you'll hear and see in college and beyond in the future.

 

It does kinda stink that SSM takes the MN slots every year, with at-large availability it would kinda make sense for them to be just granted a provision at large slot every year and allow for the other MN teams to compete more often.

But then others would want the same and some other acade6would just fill SSM void in MN.

These nationals truly are amazing experiences for the participants, spectators, and recruiting.

Partly true…some advisors push for their players to play at their birth years. Sometimes physical maturity comes into play. 15O level has a ton of good players. Zajic from SSM is one of the highest end 08s in the country. LI Gulls have high end 08s as well.

Its just impressive the sheer talent that is out there.

A great thing to be able to host them in our state, and even more awesome for Team ND kids who earned their way to experience it!

They'll be better for experience and had themselves a chance at some real exposure

08 Zach Nyman committed to Penticton for 24-25 keeping college as an option. We should be in on him.

Pair him with Dupont perhaps?
