So the 50/50 is a wash since he already played in the USHL this fall for a couple games? I'd bet a look at the Chicago Steel protected list would show his name....

The problem is that every kid grows up in GF thinking they are going to play for the sioux. When in actuality less than one percent even play college hockey, and this is a glaring example of that.....Here is a kid that quit on his team and went to Steve Johnson and said I want to play in the USHL. He was told to swollow his pride and go back and apologize to his coach and ask for his spot back at Central...but instead went over to RR and played on the JV. Obviously Steve knows a little about the USHL, and he sent him back to do the right thing and stay in high school.

gfhockey wrote:Its not that hard to find loopholes. Lets say u transfer in after the hockey season. So then you sign up to play track, theres 90 days of the 180 day wait. then in the fall of the nextr year, sign up for football, theres the other 90 days. then u are set for varsity hockey. Why do I think that? Thats how GF is set up. Trust me I know. I have been around the Grand Forks Hockey for about 40 years now and lets face it, GFC is the tough football school and GFRR is the richy hockey school. thats just how it is now days. MOst people in GF think Malm is the best coach that has ever coached and want there kids playing for him since he has all the connections to the USHL and lest face it, you got to no someone to get somehwere in todays world.

if steve said that two him, why didnt he say that to potulny and irmen? Nothing against you but i was jw. I heard that chicago steel made him go finish out the season up here cuz he was a step or two off the ushl pace.

I think-- it goes this way:
#1-you get one move(as a family) and you do not have to sit out anything.
subsequent moves you have a period of waiting.
#2.- If you move (physical addresses--family)-- moving from one end of twon and dist. to another- you are good to go right away.(whether from out of town or in town--with more than one school/Public etc.)
**this also goes along with #1.
#3- If you change schools (not addresses) always a waiting period.
**unless moving from Jr. High/Middle school(in some towns)- to Sr. high(based normally on chnage from either 8th grade--to 9th, or 9th--to 10th.... depending on your school dist's set-up.
#4- moving just to move --is a waiting period-- especailly if you have competed at a varsity level already, ie: gilrs that play as 7th/8th graders at their shcools HS, then move up in grades, they do not get the change with no wiat.
correct this, but I think it is close to ND state rules..
I say--Live and play where you live! with the kids you live by and go to school with.
If you and your parents physically move--then so be it, but don't do it JUST for a Sport. Because it never works out perfect(most are and would be better off gutting it out where they live and started).
Just my opinion--again!
