I'd make sure that the announcers pronounced it Boom-garnay
Apparently, rumors on Twitter were saying that he wasn't invited to NTDP Evaluation Camp because of the drama surrounding him (big reason why he's played for so many teams). What I like to call "Coach Dad" syndrome, where the father is far too involved/overinvested and creates a headache for every coach his son plays for.
People had said his dad was too involved with every team he was on, and people in minor hockey/HS hockey circles weren't happy. Just 3rd hand info, but food 4 thought.
In fairness to him, Shakopee is really not known for their hockey program, and while Benilde’s program is very strong, they are also extremely education focused as a college prep school, and have higher demands than public schools in that realm. I would assume grades played an issue with the Rogers switch, though I don’t have first hand knowledge.
All three of those programs are really good hockey programs these days. Seems like you're reaching for excuses but three HS teams in three years is a red flag.
I think the move from BSM to Rogers is odd. Rogers and Shakopee are pretty much the same, they even tied 1-1 this year. Plus the Section 2AA that Shakopee is in is a lot stronger than the 5AA that Rogers is in.
It’s a red flag, but Shakopee has not produced a single player of note on their own, and the school system is generally regarded as poor compared to all surrounding cities to it. Escaping that makes sense to me, but then BSM is on the complete opposite spectrum from an education perspective and was likely a massive culture shock. I’m not a fan of flippers at all, and I’m sure the overbearing parent rumors likely carry weight, but I have a little sympathy for him and can very easily see him biting off more than he could chew there. Again, pure speculation on my part.
The changing of schools to play HS hockey all the time is just a little much. If you're going to do that, just go play AAA minor hockey in Detroit, Boston, Chicago, etc and stick with one team.
It's pretty much the same here, but the hockey crazy parents move their kids around by either open enrolling or even moving or even just renting an apartment for the kids in the desired district... It's only gotten more ridiculous lately.
It’s where you live with the exception of private schools and border situations, Benilde-St. Margaret’s is a private school and where he transferred to from Shakopee High. His family would have moved to go to Rogers following that.
