undhockey Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 These tryouts are just to seperate the varsity players from jv no players are being cut. Its just being held to open up some new spots and put some kids where they belong. Then that is not tryouts. Most high school teams do this all the time. players being evaluated and moved up to varsity or down to junior varsity. Not exactly something new....

Not exactly something new.... we are both right, no one is getting cut but there will be some changes on the forward lines. The tryout is in camp between JV and Varsity.

LB#11 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 yeahh..so i know this isn't ND but Fox News at 9 here in Fargo made a tiny mistake....as you know Rosseu (sp?) and Warroad are playing tonight and they said that it was 6-0...Warroad. Then they made the correction at the end saying that actually Rosseu was up 8-0. Just a little different because the teams are so equal hahahaha I heard the same thing last night...never did hear the correction though.

HockeyHigh Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 There is always a tryout going on between Varsity and JV. At practice every day a coach can move a player between the two at his own will. A tryout is were you seperate players not just from JV/Varsity, but from the team as a whole. Maybe he set aside the practices to determine the differences between his players more, but I wouldn't consider it a tryout unless he's bringing new players in and kicking out some, which as I believe is not allowed during the season.

It is not a tryout just get that out of your minds. Bina is probably just trying to make his pratices more competitive by bring up JV players and maybe trying to scare some of the varsity players that their spot is a guarentee day in and day out. So by doing this he will get more out of his Varsity players. Thats what I think is most likely going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, I am pretty sure we have gotten to the point that this is not "tryouts", it's called evaluating players and putting them in the right position. As another poster said, this happens all the time at other schools, and I assume happens at GFC more often than just this week. Why this has taken up a number of posts is not understandable....

soohockey15 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I don't know many teams that do this with 3-4 games left in the season. All kinds of teams do this tryout business being talked about. Which by the way has been the topic of convo on here for way entirely too long. In high school, especially at the end of the year, once the JV season ends usually two or three kids will be asked to practice with the varsity team. Usually this consists of the top JV line or a top JV defenseman. Now, once these kids are up, every damn practice certainly does become a try-out. Most JV first lines equal the varsity's fourth line. Once these guys are practicing with varsity everyday the third line guys, and even some second line guys will feel the pressure because i can gurantee those fourth line guys would just love their spot in the Region and State tournaments. It's a concept of fighting for spots, but in reality it is a late season try-out. So Goon, yes, a lot of teams do this with 3-4 games left in the year.

There are not a lot of Red River's out there that have their 3 lines and don't have to change them throughout the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 GPR outshoots Minot 51-6, squeaks by at buzzer for 4-3 win. I am pretty sure the shots were closer than that; I believe the numbers that were reported were not quite accurate. It was a crazy end for sure.

undhockey Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I am pretty sure the shots were closer than that; I believe the numbers that were reported were not quite accurate. It was a crazy end for sure. The paper has it listed as saves are 51 for Minot, and 6 for Grafton, that would actually put the shots at 55-9. Considering who they played, I would bet they are pretty close to correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering who they played, I would bet they are pretty close to correct. Those shots are correct. i was at the game and the first period grafton played like they wanted it but gave up in the second and beginning of the third but picked up the pace when they were down 3-2... the game winner i thought was kind of iffy on if it should have counted, because it was really close to when the clock ran out.

andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Minot beat Bottineau last night 4-1. And some kid threw a live rabbit on the ice. The poor fellow was scared out of his mind. Maybe Sioux fans need to start throwing live gophers??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
