Coach(es) it looks like! This is an interesting move for CDH and is a tremendous school option for any top player.

They had a strong and growing program a few years ago including trips to State and produced a number of top D1 (Keyes sisters, Wild and Carlson) and many D3 players. With the economy and push by Hill Murray to build a stronger program CDH has not been attracting the top players. It will be interesting to see if with this move they will work hard to get the top girl players enrolled in the school.

Yeah, that duo should certainly attract some players.
 
Re: Minnesota Girls High School Hockey III

Great move for CDH. I think it will help in getting a ton of the top private girls to attend.

Best of luck.
 
Re: Minnesota Girls High School Hockey III

I heard a rumor that CDH parents of the girls hockey team players received a letter stating Mrs. Pohl will be coaching the team along with her husband and Mr. Skrypek. Absolutely no idea if this is true or not. Anyone?

Former Gophers standout John Pohl named girls hockey coach at Cretin-Derham Hall

Updated: 07/02/2011 12:14:12 AM CDT



Former Gophers hockey standout and NHL player John Pohl has been named girls hockey coach at Cretin-Derham Hall High School.

Jodi Loeblein-Lecker, activities director at the St. Paul private school, said Pohl would be the Raiders' head coach. Pohl's wife, Krissy Wendell, a former U.S. Olympian, will be one of his assistant coaches.

Noted high school boys coach and college men's coach Terry Skrypek also will return to the Raiders as an assistant coach.
"It is really exciting news for us,'' Loeblein-Lecker said. "We play in the most competitive conference in the state, and we are really excited to have this group of coaches.''

A parents meeting to meet Pohl and his coaching staff is planned for July 11. A letter to the parents of girls hockey players announcing the news was sent this week.

Pohl, 32, a business education teacher at Cretin-Derham Hall, led the Gophers to the 2002 national championship. A prolific scorer at Red Wing High School, he was selected Minnesota's Mr. Hockey in 1998.

He played for four NHL teams during a professional playing career.

- Longtime St. Paul Academy/Visitation girls hockey coach Ted Cheesebrough stepped down to take an assistant coaching position with the Centennial boys program.

Cheesebrough was the head coach at SPA/Visitation for the past nine years. He is a 1992 graduate of Centennial and a former player. He will assist newly appointed Ritch Menne, a former high school teammate.

"I couldn't pass up the opportunity,'' Cheesebrough said. "It's a chance to go to the big boys.''

C AS vs HS AS
Minnetonka - Rink B

Great game/fun last night - 3-3 tie won by the HS AS in a shoot out (Bona only shooter to score). HS AS had about 3 lines while the C AS had about two lines but still great pace!

Is the reason we are getting so many reminders about this non-event is because your daughter is playing? And, if the promoters of the event would look outside their small "elite" circle of players, they'd probably find a good number of girls who would like to play in a tournament like this so that no team would have to skate with only two lines ...

I think instead the reminders are for a few of us at least...who are not parents of any players, that have a genuine interest in several players participating. The games aren't really being promoted as any kind of major event. Just a chance to watch some players that are of interest to some regulars in this forum.

Take it easy.

Before you throw your negative opinion out know that over 30 college D1 D3 college players were asked. Girls work or attend night classes and it might be hard to make a Thursday night game. There should be a full team for Sat and Sun. The other teams invited are full teams made up of MN Icecats and Whitecaps. What I was told is the HS Allstar team had three lines.

I'll take good hockey anytime and anywhere especially with over 26 curent and future D1 players.

And I do hope to Enjoy over the weekend. You don't sound like a dedicated fan.

And thanks for the updates Joe...

Sorry to offend you if I did. Many of the group are girls who we have watched grow up and many now play for many different Teams and one of 4 D1 Leagues - fun to see everyone on the ice. If you are a fan of D1 hockey or MN HS hockey it was fun - if you aren't sorry to hear that and again apologies - enjoy the summer!
 
Re: Minnesota Girls High School Hockey III

Personally, I like to hear about such things, because it is very hard to find by any other means. I don't know when and where to look. If there is an event or game that I don't care about posted in this thread, it is easy to skim past it, but such notes are a big help to those of us who like to watch some hockey when our schedule permits. Dedicated, I'd welcome such news from you as well, although I usually don't find time to watch anything other than D-I games and games involving future/current D-I players.
 
Re: Minnesota Girls High School Hockey III

A very entertaining and competitive U19 contest tonight between the Icecats and Jr. Whitecaps! Although the Icecats had a deeper bench, the Jr. Whitecaps were able to prevail 5-3. Goaltender Erika Allen of Roseville had several big stops and only surrendered one goal, a goalmouth scramble, in her half of play. D1 coaches in attendance got a great opportunity to evaluate a number of very talented, but as yet uncommitted, players this evening.

Lexi Slattery a future Friar

Published:
Tuesday, July 12, 2011 3:39 PM CDT
CIRCLE PINES — With a goal of putting an end to much of the recruitment process, Centennial Senior High girl's hockey standout Lexi Slattery has decided to cast her lot and tote her gear bag off to Providence, R.I.

The senior-to-be has given an oral commitment to attend the school in the fall of 2012 and play hockey for the Friars' womens hockey team.

Defenseman Slattery has been a steady force on the Cougar blue line the past two seasons, and has also garnered attention at the USA Hockey National Select Camp for the U-16 Minnesota team.

"My final three choices were Bemidji State, Providence, and Colgate," she offered. "Each school is so different, but I liked all three of them very much. I really like the fact that all of the (Hockey East Conference) schools are so close together."

Slattery added that she also considered Robert Morris College and the University of Connecticut, where big sister Jocie played her freshman season last year for the Huskies' women's hockey team.

"We'll get a chance to play (U Conn) three times a year because they are in our conference," Slattery said. "That's something I'm looking forward to. The conference is also very competitive, there's no one or two teams that dominate. I like that."

Was out of town on business over the weekend and just got to reading these posts. You did not offend me, and it looks like I owe you an apology. I didn't realize anyone other than parents, promoters and invited coaches were interested in these events, and I assumed those people already knew about them. I will take ARM's advise in the future and just skim past the items that don't interest me.

Agree with your analysis. Unfortunately I don't think there were many coaches in attendance. I know Brad Frost was there but I didn't see anyone else. Did anyone else see any others?
 
Re: Minnesota Girls High School Hockey III

No I think coaches attendance was a disappointment versus past years. Not sure of all of the scores for the rest of the weekend.

I enjoyed watching future D1 players on the ice versus the College All Stars yesterday. The JWC U19 won 6-2 but it was very close till the end. I think one line of Dani Cameranesi (jr Blake), Hanana Brandt (sr Hill Murray - Minnesota), Molly Illikainen (sr GRG - Providence) was the top line on the ice. I think Illikainen had 3 or 4 goals but the whole line really gave the college girls a hand full. Was also very impressed of the play of forward Hannah Brodt (sr Roseville) and goalie Erika Allen (sr Roseville) against the college girls.
