Congrats to the Illinois players!

Many kids on this list should truly be at he national camp. However, some kids are just not good enough to be held at this high level

Who makes these picks. Some are laughable.

coaches from all the districts

No Luka??? What Daddy couldn't pull this one off too? Is it finally going to end with this guy?

Also, only one goaltender?

i saw the beginning of this list and i thought it was legit
but by the end i just thought it was a joke

there is never more than one goalie. in years past there was only 2 def. and 8 forwards.

Is little Calabrese going to go to Notre Dame too?

Yes, but Calabreses jr is going to Notre Dame.

From what site was this list pulled from? Not from USA hockey or ahai or central district sites.

the entire list and alternates can been seen at centraldistricthockey.org

No disrespect to the boys chosen, but you must admit this is a joke. My only thougts is that they tried to weed out any bigger, tougher kids. This is a very small team. Maybe the St. Louis folks chose these Ill boys so that their boys looked better??? Any thoughts??

ridiculous

there were at least 5-6 kids that didn't even participate in the March Jamboree that would have made the central districts list

Let's support the Illinois players, be happy for them and hope they represent Illinois hockey well.

This doesn't even include the few players who were picked for the Districts Camp and chose not to participate. At least one of them would have probably been a shoe-in.

The first kid is from Illinois, too. he plays down south.

Is this a joke?

The first kid on the list is actually from Illinois, six feet tall, probably 180 pounds. That's not little for a 13 year old.

Who's Gornet? Is that the kid from the St. Louis AAA team or from one of the Illinois teams?

His dad is the coach for the St Louis AAA team and he is the goalie.
