Re: NTDP Eval Camp

If you're a parent of one of these kids understand this 1. You don't need the NDTP Program - Your Kid doesn't need the NDTP program 2. Do you really want to ship your 16 year old kid off to live with strangers in Michigan? 3. Did you just watch the High School State tournament? I guarantee you your...

Re: Fluid AA Offseason Rankings: 2024-25

Just hope it isn't so top heavy in AA next year. Everyone pretty much knew it was going to be the 2AA and 6AA winner in the state title game by the time the calendar flipped to 2024.

Re: Sharpest and most boring uniforms at the tournament

Great 1. Edina - a true classic just a bummer we didn't get to see their Green's this year 2. Warroad - another classic that I hope never changes 3. Orono - their blue stunned me with how good it was, sharp with not too much going on Good 4. White Bear Lake - the bear paw logo is one of the best in...

Re: Section 4AA

The Gophers play Penn State in Game 2 at 3:30PM on Saturday. You can blame the Big 10 because of TV scheduling I suppose...but I would say that a 3:30 game & the consolation finals would be too tight of a window on the Saturday. I got nothing in terms of Friday; I suppose MSHSL would say they'd...

Re: Section Finals Locations Thought

I would not make the assumption that the colleges give a rat's behind about section finals. Worse they may consider hosting them a pain in the rear. Now someone will post about how they can use it for recruiting players and students, but I'd not be surprised if they are not interested in that at al...

Exactly.. this is where I'm getting lost. Also when was it announced that it was going to Aldrich? Was that recent? I saw someone reference an announcement a few posts ago I got wind of it a couple months back I think. Here’s my question. Why do you care so much that’s it’s moving to Aldrich vs bei...

The venue for the Big 10 tourney is not set in stone till the reg season is over, but it appears the hopes will have home ice creating the conflict The Gophers can't finish any lower than 4, so they will either be the 3 hosting the 6, or the 4 hosting the 5. Again, this is all immaterial. How is th...

Section Finals Locations Thought

Being back in Amsoil last night for the first time in a couple years reminded me what an awesome rink that is but it also got me thinking about how easy this could be for the AA Section Finals once the St Thomas arena is finished. MN has a fantastic college hockey scene which happens to be spread ou...

Re: Section 4AA

Has to be late conflict. Otherwise I'd imagine selling 8kish season tickets to a 3500 capacity arena would be kind of sketchy even if 8k attending is not a reality. This is always why I thought they've kept it at Mariucci. It's not too hard for someone to contact the attorney general and call bee e...

Re: Section 4AA

Parking at Aldrich is way better than anywhere in the West Metro. That part is true. I told a few people at the last game I attended, I'm happy to see consolation there this year. Plenty big and FREE parking. I would be in favor of skipping Mariucci in the future. I completely missed this earlier.....

Re: Section Tournament Ticketing Systems

I like the old ticketing system where you used cash. I agree. I used to pick up tickets the day before and catch two games at Braemar and 1 at BIG or vice versa. I have a feeling I will be shut out this year and the same for the finals. I wish they would move the finals back to Mariucci. The 2AA/6A...

Re: Official 2024 Class AA & A Seedings

Do the northern section seedings always come out early like this? Not sure if I've just been asleep at the wheel lately and haven't noticed this in the past or if this is unusual
