I am guessing a state tournament is a bigger option now. The ExCel charges very high rent......assuming the state still limits attendance the MSHSL could put a state tournament in hockey, wrestling, and boys basketball at a smaller venue and televise it and sell advertising. Dropping the rental fee...

Spar - Pio parents at New Hope tonite say they are looking for a repeat!

Well if the season isn't really a season, we'll still be defending champions 2 years later. That all said, I wish everyone would be playing.

Galatz , Hallum , Ratzlaff, Pierce

Probably more still to add

Talk on the Gopher board is that Ratzlaff might still go with football and is a Badger lean if he goes that route. Can't recall if Rosemount is opting out, but I assume that could change whether he plays this year or not...

If Elliot's list is right. Section is WIDE OPEN.

93 Jags were the best team I've ever seen in 40 years of watching high school hockey. I watched them absolutely dismantle Moorhead in the Christmas tourney that year and Moorhead was the second best team in the state with a few NHL players themselves. And it was like 8-1. I'd be remiss, in memory of...

I’d also throw in the 2010 Skippers team. 1 in PS rankings, 27-2-2, handful of D1 guys. Lost a state championship game after a 4OT semi final win

That semi-final game still stings.

The state finals games in '77, '78 and '79 even though I didn't like the end result for 2 of the 3.

Never seen the highlights before...

Rochester JM over Edina...

I am thinking it is Minneapolis North since we will appoint a winner. Hill Murray should also vacate all Championships. James Hill was clearly a racist.... “give me enough Swedes, snuff, and whiskey and I’ll build a railroad through hell”. I am also fairly certain Catholics killed Muslims during th...

East Siders are unusually quiet . Must be some drama brewing somewhere ? Who will I be seeing at Aldrich Arena for 4 AA final at end of next Feb? And what surprises on the rosters ? We're still reveling in getting a title back to the good side of town. And I come here for transfer news, so evidentl...

I've got more information on Fechko to the Hornets. This closes out the Hankinson deal from 2016 when Edina GM Terwilliger moved the forward for future considerations. Rahn had 4 years to send back a "Grade I" player (defined as Elite Leaguer, Natty Camp kid, or Div I verbal) with at least two year...

Can someone remind me who the last crowned Minnesota State Champion in any sport is?



It seems likely there will be hockey this year. Maybe just more of it will be web cast for us socially distant (by 2000 miles) folks...

I brought a very similar topic up a few weeks ago: http://www.ushsho.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=37942 Not exactly sure why it's so difficult to find a way to see these games. Makes sense that if folks in Minnesota would watch old NCAA basketball/hockey, NFL, NBA, NHL or MLB games, they would a...

As an outsider it seems like the jumpstart in many of the private schools’ success was bringing in high level coaches who stayed there a while to build the programs. Pauly (not sure when he started at Benilde but wouldn’t be surprised if it was mid-late 90’s when their success started), Trebil, the...

Hill Murray 11 returning players with 148 points coming back

That taking Pierre out? Or someone new?

It also was fun because it was the upstart program who's best player had his dad as coach, which happens around the state from time to time and those teams reach new heights, against a power at the time that was taking the reigns from Jefferson as the team to beat. Spehar was already a legend. And o...

I think there's a bit of hyperbole with this topic happening here. I don't like seeing transfers as much as anyone and thought what EP did this year was pretty gross given they have one of the largest enrollments in the state, but for people to act like community based hockey is gone is laughable. ...

Karl, from one wordsmith to another, your wrap up covers the rich tapestry that is the state tournament. I came of age during the heyday of the tournament, and I'm pleased to find that it has survived two classes far better than I thought it would. I fondly recall meeting Karl some years back at an...

The 1980 final with Grand Rapids and Hill Murray should be up there too. Hill was undefeated going into the final and lost 2-1, despite outshooting Rapids 32-16.

To be honest, it was one of those upsets that still keeps a guy up at night.

His uncle & dad, Mark & Mike, went to WI. They wanted to play together, and the Gophs would only take Mark. I remember that. I can't recall if they had offers going into the tourney or not. But I recall Gophers only offered Mark. I think this is a smart move by Motzko. Because Charlie is the type o...

I’m going to butcher this, and perhaps someone with a better recollection can tell it more accurately. 2010-2011 season, MN Hockey Hub did a four part series titled Becoming a Pioneer . I remember thinking that was a really cool, in-depth look at a program (and something they should do every year w...

Nice 13 minute recap...

Not sure how long this article will exist...

Well what's funny is there's two sets of posters here. The more mature crowd who can have a civil discussion about teams and not go ranting and then we get the occasional knuckle head boys who are still in high school and they have to try and "mark" the forum everywhere they go. Its funny how easy i...

Yeah that’s a good one too Hm88 Lechs last title before Sat nite I remembered Rams we’re undefeated , didn’t realize how far back into previous season , that was their championship year, right? I still remember one of the kids in the Hill section, during the Roseau game, had a sign "42-1". Still cr...
