    Here is current MN JR Whitecaps info. Hats off to former Gopher Winny Brodt Brown, Chris Peterson and others have done a great job helping MN Girls evolve and get exposure to play at the next level!
    Thanks joe. I'm still trying to locate a summer schedule for the Jr. Whitecaps...wonder if one will show up on the site at some point. That's a heckuva team, really. I'd like to sit in a cool rink and watch a few future Gophers a couple times this summer.

    I'd even buy tickets!!

      Will try to find. They have kind of moved to Show Case Weekends in MN. They play the U17 vs the U16 vs a collection of College All Stars (many past Jr Whitecaps) and the MN Icecast. It is great hockey that is free.

      I think they still make a trek out to the NAHA Labor Day Tournament that seems to have every D1 and D3 Coach in attendance.

        Not that I'm opposed to the practice...as long as it's done with due diligence, research and an abundance of cognizant thought and a young player knows what they want...but I'm wondering if we'll see more very early commitments (verbal) happening prior to the 2011-2012 high school season...or after a freshman / sophomore season.

          It has gotten consistently earlier each of the last 4 years. I am expecting some announcements now that Junior Fest is done in MN.

          To date there are 24 in US and 8 in CDN on this Forum - first was last August 16 for the class of 2012-2013

          Last year on June 28 there were 12 US and 1 CDN in the class of 2011-2012

              I don't want to be picky but the July Scrimmagefest is July 14-17 and in addition to the teams listed above it includes a team called the High School All-Stars which is made up of 1/2 Icecats and 1/2 Jr. Whitecaps from last year's U19 teams (i.e. girls that will be freshman D1 players in 2011-12) . I assume that the August Scrimmagefest will include the same teams but I think that is to be determined. Below is the schedule:

              C AS = College All-Stars
              HS AS = High School All-Stars
              IC = Ice Cats
              WC = Jr. Whitecaps

                      Do you think the skills advance more during the HS season because longer or AAA because there is typically a higher level of skill and desire per team?

                        My opinion, AAA by all means with that higher level of skill and generally stronger competition. I think experience in AAA (the more the better) outside the high school season is becoming...or has become a large benefit for those players and landing a D-I roster spot. Plus...it's simply more playing time that the high school only player doesn't get that is an additional advantage.

                        There is some good competition in HS hockey and players do improve noticeably while playing high school hockey...but the player with AAA experience nearly always seem to be a step or two ahead. I don't know the numbers...but I don't know if there's many players from Minnesota that progress to D-I without some AAA experience anymore. I don't think there are many that do.

                          I believe so as well, the AAA player though gets less ice time per week as I am guessing the HS players get at least 5 days

                            So the girls HS season goes from the first week of November to mid Februaury - regualar season is 25 games if you go through state you have about 31 games. If you play two games a week you get 3-4 practices of one hour each. Most top players who want to play D1 are training or skating and then playing with a AAA Team maybe a schedule of 15-30 games and then the fall Elite League which is 16-20 games with about one practice. The amount of time or games from March to November is likely more than in a HS season - for some significantly moe.

                              I think one big advantage that High School programs have over the extended season programs is that the players are much more passionate about the competition. If you ask any player who has experienced success at both which was more meaningful to them, I'd bet that they'll all say the high school hockey was, because they are performing for friends and neighbors. Nothing against the other organizations that do raise the talent level, but I think 6 year old girls dream of playing for "Home Town High" not "ACME AAA Summer Team".

                                Game time is no where near as helpful as practice time. How often do you touch a puck during a game compared to during practice.

                                There may be more passion for the school but not for the ice in HS vs AAA. Especially if as in some AAA programs they bring the same girls back again and again
