Good luck to him! :yo:


Where's he coming from, and did he look at any other schools?

I hate what became of hockey in this area, as fallout from the Gophers bolting to the B1G. I miss the WCHA games/teams. Was always a good time watching teams from Duluth, North Dakota, St. Cloud.... All kids with mostly Minnesota ties.
He lives in Anchorage, Alaska. Scouts were at a tourney he played in (Denver) and he was given an offer. Not sure if he has other offers or not.

Damn. I remember when the only reason to move to another state was for Dad to get a better job, or for Mom to be with her family.

Then there were moves, maybe just short-term, to qualify for in-state college tuition.

Moving is a huge commitment just so a kid can play football.

Football is really important for young teens. They may happen to be a fringe scholarship player and need another season, even if short, tape. Or a teen who loves football and knows this is his last opportunity to really play?

Which makes me wonder if cheerleaders and band members are going to do the same thing?

Depending on where they come from, they may get e worse education, or a better one. But nobody gives much of a shit about getting a good education anymore.

Aspiring Olympic athletes do this all the time.

I know a lot of athletes "moved" to Colorado where the US Olympics training facility is.

No big deal for me.

Not sure if I would send my kid to Des Moines though. That is the Iowa Covid19 Capital.

Polk County, Iowa
Confirmed 9944
Deaths 206

No other county in Iowa has over 4000 cases.
No other county in Iowa has over 90 deaths.

It is also far more crowded
