If I would have made the team I would have loved to have played their and lived with the family they set me up with. If you don't have any experiance with this stuff then you shouldn't say anything. Before that I played for Shattuck St. Mary's and lived in one of their dorms. After Shattuck I transfered to the Berkshire School in New England and played there and had a great experiance. My experiance shows that when a boarding school is poorly run is can be just as if not more unruly than a bad billot family. Shattuck has a good hockey program but the school itself is horrible along with the teachers and dormitories. the USNTDP is probably the best program for young men in this country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12302090.post-57266934120654975612008-12-12T18:23:00.000-06:002008-12-12T18:23:00.000-06:00Hodson for the Brown Bears in Kenai is working har...Hodson for the Brown Bears in Kenai is working hard,intense team they will be contenders soon with his varsity talent it will definitely make a impact.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12302090.post-90344085512151578552008-10-28T07:28:00.000-05:002008-10-28T07:28:00.000-05:00post stated Eaves took MN hs boys over early recru...post stated Eaves took MN hs boys over early recruits of which Erstad was one.

The prolific goal scorer in high school may not score 1/4 of what they did playing high schoool hockey in mn. Definitely not as prepared for the 60 game season or the extensive travel almost every weekend, even with the elite league. The triple A midget boys are used to the grind, being away from home and it shows........there are always the exceptions for mn boys who stay and play their high school seasons, ness, mcdonaugh etc,,,,who go on and perform just great at the next level D1 college and maybe pros...

Sure parents need to be responsible but just too many of these crimes and academic problems at a program that claims pride in representing our country, discipline, and character. And we are suprised when the Olympic hockey players trash their hotels? Where is the accountability, respect and appreciation for the opps being given. Get it under control boys or parents won't be letting their sons participate. You lost a lot of top players this year who stayed home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12302090.post-56431021622433201232008-10-23T17:28:00.000-05:002008-10-23T17:28:00.000-05:00It does start at home and there is plenty of "lawl...It does start at home and there is plenty of "lawlessness" that happens on Minnesota High School teams where the boys are right under their parents' noses.anonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04835510093569159476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12302090.post-40397417232924299442008-10-23T16:59:00.000-05:002008-10-23T16:59:00.000-05:00So Frazee flunked out, Mueller could'nt get in to ...So Frazee flunked out, Mueller could'nt get in to Minnie, Hagemo, etc. All fine example of Minnie development. don't blame a short period of their lives idiot.

The DWI's, cheating, theft, minor consumes that are common place in the program are proof of the "good ole boy" menality. 16,17 and 18 year olds try limits and without them and strong guidance things go wrong. This program has been wrought with problems all paid for by USA hockey fees. Until someone cares to police the program it will continue to lose top talent, especially from a MN a state where develop happens without leaving home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12302090.post-82575197296342462572008-10-23T13:37:00.000-05:002008-10-23T13:37:00.000-05:00Keep an eye open for Luke Curadi: 6'6" 250lb 1991 ...Keep an eye open for Luke Curadi: 6'6" 250lb 1991 defenceman on the Hartford Junior Wolf Pack...he will be moving up the list very quicklyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12302090.post-22826203352538005872008-10-23T12:50:00.000-05:002008-10-23T12:50:00.000-05:00Ha, Ha, hagemo's parents moved to NTDP, and see wh...Ha, Ha, hagemo's parents moved to NTDP, and see where it got them. the "Hockey guys" wern't born yesterday. what a foolish comment on Minnie kids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12302090.post-43134370562387921082008-10-23T07:52:00.000-05:002008-10-23T07:52:00.000-05:00Mn parents chose to raise own kids and not turn th...Mn parents chose to raise own kids and not turn them over to lawlessness of NTDP.
