  1. It's just simply not feasible in this day and age due to one word. Lawsuits. If MidAm or USA hockey implemented something like this, they would be sued by the families and organizations as well as the rinks. The difference between Little League and Hockey is that the ball fields are far more prevalent and are managed by the community 95% of the time or more. Rinks are private businesses and limiting their available clients would seem to be some sort of infringement on them, doesn't it? This is even more true when you compare a 3 sheet facility like Center Ice vs Kirk Nevin. Is CI provided with 3x as many players available to them as KN? It's a sh$% show now. Just imagine it with geographical specs.

  2. And the drills he used were about as useless as @#$% on a bull. He was paid to stick around and keep 71 happy.

    NONE of the drills he used were age appropriate. Most of them couldn't have been performed by high level 16U players and he was using them with 10, 12 and 14U players. If you were training for the Ice Capades he was a good option. He was preceded in this type of training by Besa Tsintsadze until he decided to do his flying Walenda act on the ice at Baierl and landed on a young players leg slicing through his shinguard and deep into his leg.

    The best skating instructors are figure skating coaches who will work with hockey players. They take the stick out of their hands and break down their whole stride and then build them back up. It's not a quick fix though. Takes 4-6 months of consistent reps.

    That seems crazy.  Nationals are not for another 7 weeks.  You can get another whole season in before then.

    Welcome to the wonderful world of MidAm governance. Based on the zoom meeting 6 weeks ago, you can be assured that the dates were kept the same for no other reason than to not disturb the busy schedules at The Villages. They may also  not have been able to get the cheapest hotel rates later this month which would limit the return back to the District coffers.

    Speaking from experience with a spring team last year, I would say proceed with caution and take the “terms and conditions” very seriously.

    I think this statement may have been in reference to NE. I heard from numerous people last year that NE was offering some less than desirable options in lieu of actual refunds.
