Mid-Ams

[Snydes1987]

Hey,
I'm trying out for the Mid-American team for the birth year of '87. For those of you who don't know what i'm talking about, its a tournament team for the best players in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennslyvannia, and West Virginia. And if I make it i get to go to the Dave Peterson's National Goaltending Camp. I was just wondering if anyone here has had any experience with these tryouts, are they really political or do they really pick the best players?

Also is anyone on the BB going to be there?

Thanks for the "contribution", barnhart.

BW: You'll have to excuse me, I'm just trying to get my head around the idea of someone born in '87 being a teenager.

Good luck in the mid-am's. Unlike our trash-talking friend there, it's great to hear when our brethren (and sisteren ) make it up to a notable level. Make us proud!

Sorry, in my mind it's still 1995, and I'm still 21.

And if you were older then, shut up. This is my late-20s-crisis, not yours.

Incidentally, a year ago I was getting kisses from some PYT acting partners at our cast party. A girl in each arm, both of them with birthdates in 80's.

_That_ was cool.

Can't help you as far as experience goes but I do wish you good luck.

Hey stripes I know exactly what you mean. Every time I meet someone born after '85 or so I feel old. How can they be teenagers already?!?!

(and I'm turning 23 in a few weeks, Jesus I'm getting old)

Well i just got back and i had a blast!!!!

The tryouts consisted of 3 games, 1 skills evaluation, and 1 goalie evaluation. In total there were over 150 players trying out and 36 of those were goalies!!! I played really great and i'm pritty sure i made it with the help of some amazing glove saves . A lot of the goalies there were good, but the majority in my oppinion didn't belong there. There were some really cool pads there too, One kid had 560s like Luongo's and a lot of the kids had Icecaps. Probably 10 or 15 kids had velocities it was pritty amazing.

Well i had a lt of fun and all i have to do now is wait for the phone call.
