Re: Usa hockey national tournament
First of all there are 3 maybe 4 MN teams that easily could compete for the u-19 national title. Elite Black, Elite Grey, and Elite White, Elite Grey has the most serious players. They very seldom are not at a game in force. They have developed unbelievable Chemistry for never practicing together. This is the first year that they have been allowed to go to compete as Minnesota is starting to take the national championships more seriously. Watch out U-16 tournament because they will come in and be relentless. They could add a couple of players off both the white team and the black team to make them unbeatable. That being said at the U-19 level SSM practices 2 hours a day 6 days a week from Sept-March. The Elite league teams do not. Attendance at games is not mandatory and both White and Black this spring have not fielded a complete roster yet. The reason being most of these kids are doing something else in the spring or have homework or jobs etc...
You put them on the same schedule as SSM and you don't see the banners hanging from the rafters there.
