I completely agree with this comment.
I'm also all for playing open all year and going to C post-season.

Looking at their history that argument could be made.

I would say 3/4 of them hit at a solid C level at times. Fielding can be suspect at time. I've noticed they have different players every tourney as well. Would say with their current dedication they will be best suited as a solid D team that could win most any tournament they play in.

If any of you guys want to do fantasy hockey, I started a league. It's free.

Asa c teams have to wait 2 years to petition down to d right? Not sure anymore. The + rating might work, other wise it is tough for d teams bumped to c to compete with the established c teams , they end up breaking up spreading out to other teams possibly, or at least that's what we did

Off of the current team list for the high school event I would pick Champlin 1, cooper, Chaska as my top 3. I can think of 5 guys from Waconia who even play.

Champlin Park could have four teams in that tourney that would all be solid (not just saying that because I'm a CP guy, either). Bunch of nerds who all started playing softball really young. Hell, the highlights from the 18 and under league would be on the school news show.
The first team that Lew and Dirty put together will be really good.

Cooper has 5 amazing pitchers but I'm not sure on other positions and Chaska is most of chucks

Same boat here. Even with all the people in Eagan, I don't think Eagan could fill a competitive team. Maybe 5-6 guys tops....

You might be thinking of Tartan and not Cooper. The only Cooper pitcher I can think of is Goose (Irving). They have a few solid upper level players at positions. Tartan has Brownie and a few other pitchers. They'll hit the **** out of the ball.
I don't think CP would go 1st and 2nd or anything, but CP1 finishes in the top 3 and CP2 does solid.

Stillwater and North St Paul would field hella good teams. Tartan has some studs too. I believe Yockum and Brownie are both Tartan guys.
Stillwater would have Eischens, G-Lo, Jake Meyers, Brent Sharon, Nate and Nolan Gosso... I'm sure I'm missing some more.They are not sluffs.

They also would have Yocum, Arndt, Bauer and a couple other guys (I had to look it up on the original post on Facebook).

Yes I ment Tartan
I forgot about them. Would be a pretty good team if they all play.

Big lake would have a good team
Monticello would be ok, if they could get some other guys to come out and play they would be better. Like eric shrifels and chris hardy, even the holker boys. Chuck is the only Monticello guy still on the team I believe. The Brants are reemts are actually elk river I believe, and Ge was actually a Benilde guy

If we (Monti) could get Josh Holthaus to come out of retirement, that would be an excellent addition.
Same with David Burkholder from Big Lake.

That is absolutely hilarious.
I'd bet that at least one of those D teams you listed breaks up if they get bumped to C. I've already heard a couple people from the team saying they will probably not be playing together if they get bumped. Too many guys on their current roster do not want to play C. Which is why they had so many D+ cards.

Viz won't ever play C. He'd pull a Brula and brag about coed wins at the Stadium before he'd move to C.

A lot of those guys will get the c plus rating I think?

He's going to be C+

According to Viz he's playing with mayhem or State Farm next year.
Crew won Silver at MSMA. They had back-to-back shutouts at one point.
King of Ram I'm pretty sure had 3 or 4 C cards on their team last night. At least 3 of them played for a USSSA C team (OP). And I'm not sure what D Willis's rating is but I'm almost certain he's not a D card in any association and I guess he played with them yesterday too. Given the nature of the tournament I don't really care what teams had for rosters, just thought it was funny that the team that protested their way to the chip game in Duluth showed up with a roster like that after there were clear rules about C cards. Nobody protested them that I'm aware of though.
Had a fun time up there again. Team went 4-2. Lost to The Crew and then this morning to Dirtless. Kinda tough to play a team like On1/Reckless/Dirty in a time-limit controlled game because they waste so much freaking time yelling at the umpire and calling manager's meetings and all that garbage. We only got 5 innings in (it was also a high-scoring game, which contributed to that).
Did manage to see one legit fight during a game. Midwest Monsters and somebody I didn't recognize. From what I gather, there was a rundown and when the runner was about to get tagged he just dropped a shoulder and leveled the guy. Tempers flared and I believe a few punches were thrown before the umpire finally got control of it.
