Does no one remember what made the Minnesota Boys State Hockey Tournament so alluring? It was one community raised and developed team vs. the others. School, team and community pride vs. the others. 20 guys growing up together, playing together, developing together, and dreaming of playing in the s...

Ya gotta give Plante credit, he is doing a great job of deflecting the real reason Hermantown got beat...they were outcoached! The refs didn't blow the lead, Hermantown did. Accept some responsibility Mr. Plante and you would earn more people's respect. They blew two big leads in 2 of the last thre...

Go back to 1 16 team tournament. 14 sections made up of public schools 2 sections made up of all the private and co opp schools from around the state.

Re: Class A competition
Something is not right. There's nothing but apathy and empty seats at the A games. Fans possibly not interested in these 494 ring privates dominating the outstate small public teams. I'm not saying there's not great outstate teams, just not enough of them to ensure 4 good tournament pairings. Kind ...

I don't hate private schools. I will root against HM, BSM, etc. in AA but I don't think they are abusing the system the way STA has and Breck continues to do. If Breck, STA, and T-G opted up prior to this season, the A tourney would probably be: Hermantown Marshall Lourdes Apollo EGF Delano Mahtome...

Re: Is St. Thomas Academy the best team in the State?
You could certainly make a case that they are No. 1 overall. So far they have posted wins over AA powers Hill-Murray, Edina, and this evening Benilde-St. Margaret's. They have an overall record of 11-1-1, with their only blemishes being an early season 3-1 loss to Minnetonka and a 3-3 (official) ov...

HSHOCKEYWatcher- your analysis was brutal. Zone play was 50 50. Sprang let in 2 soft goals early, Benilde had double the scoring chances. The no goal was not put in by another player the initial shot hit goalie glove and went in. I don't like to complain about refs but this was one of the worst off...

I think the anti-STA sentiment is a getting to be a game-changer. Elite metro kids in associations that feed weak public school programs look at STA vs. AHA or BSM and say they'd rather play AA. They surely get more exposure to the NHL, D1, and juniors scouts at AA. STA has had a little luck recent...

You would be hard pressed to find another school the size of Hemantown in the state that is fielding youth teams (Bantam & PeeWee) at AA, A, & B levels. Doesn't seem to me that they are backing away from competition. The talent in these smaller towns waxes & wanes year to year (as opposed to the pr...

So your saying they should NOT take the best players because they come from the same school. Now that is wrong. The league is suppose to showcase the most talented players regardless of what school they play the regular season with. It looks to me like overall they did that. Are there some that got...
