i heard there was meant to be a game tonight, midgets playing juniors, is this true and if so what are the details
There is a game tonight.
It’s not midgets playing juniors, that would be a little unfair. It will be midgets and juniors mixed together into two teams to play each other.
It will be $5, non-checking. 7.30pm on the ice.
why would you make the game non contact? we have a huge lack of checking hockey here, especially in that age group. then theres a chance to have a good contact game and is it contact? no!
Whats the story?We wouldn’t tend to run checking across grades, it’s not really fair on 13 year olds who are new to hockey to play checking against big skilled juniors. Particularly when we only had one referee, and no coaches. There was no chance of it being a good contact game, it was just ice that we had to use for something with little time to organise anything.
It wouldnt be a bad idea kyle to have a game against some of the older midgets and more skilled ones against the juniors, give them a good run!

[/quote:21dikqvu]Are there enough good midgets for that to work? I’d have thought miximg them up would be a better idea to save the midgets getting slaughtered.
Yeah sorry Ryan, i meant to say that you would mix the teams, for stregths and also more rivialry to, could be fun to have a few games like that!
I suspect what we might look at next year, is having southern reps train with the older grade sometimes. Queenstown does this.
actualy the rep players that train with the higher league are part of that team/squad i.e Stampede. like myself
What I heard was that sometimes the better midgets in Queenstown get invited up to Stampede training, both for their current development and the fact that they’d hope to be playing stampede in the future.
kyle, that sort of thing has been happening in clubs for a long time, its always the case that if there is a player who stands out in his age group he practices with the next group up. its just a matter of either the player asking the coach or the coach scoutin the player
Yup. It very rarely happens in Dunedin though. Ben Roth did it last year for a while, but then I think field hockey intervened. We’d look at making it structural, so after you were selected for your southern rep team, you’d automatically be looked at to attend a higher practice.
