How is Selkirk Minor Hockey Connected to Winnipeg Minor Hockey?

What sense does this make?  What is the history and how did this even happen?  I mean, you only have two provincial AAA teams in the city as it is, yet the Thrashers have access to the best from Selkirk and whatever small towns are linked to them (David Aime?), while Interlake struggles every year with their City Midget and provincial midget teams?  Meanwhile kids just outside the perimeter go to Eastman or Interlake, as they should by the way, that's why they are called boundaries.  Let's do something about this Selkirk thing, though.

Blades Coach, Management not too Sharp

What a sad situation in Beausejour.  They seem to be dressing 13-14 skaters a game as they take it on the chin each night.  It is a particularly sad state of affairs as this year's edition of the team is worse that last year's version.  Kudos to the current roster of kids who show up gamely each night to face the inevitable.  The coach and GM have run this team right into the ground.  Beausejour is probably too small for a Junior A team anyway but it's a town that will support a properly run team.  They have a beautiful arena and they are close to Winnipeg.  It should be no problem getting kids here but it tells you what the real concern is:  coaches and management who don't know what they are doing.  How is this year's edition of the fight DVD coming Kurt?
