From the STA website. Goals of Saint Thomas Academy • The physical potential of each student is developed through a program of athletics, activities and instruction promoting health, safety, fitness and good sportsmanship . Good Sportsmanship?? That was the worst display of sportsmanship I have eve...

I know I mentioned this before but if St. Thomas went to AA they would be in section 3 and would be a favorite in that section often so I don't see why they even struggle with the decision when they would still make it to state most years in AA. Here's why: Championships=more $$$ from alumni Can't ...

Damn even this thread turned into people bitching about private schools. I do feel bad for all those underprivileged kids in the west metro though...

I don't think many people would have a problem with a legit SMALL TOWN team dominating another SMALL TOWN team

Life aint fair, quit crying.

I wonder how many people would be bitching if Hermantown was dominating Little Falls right now.

Who else thinks it's messed up that STA students salute the American flag. They may be Junior ROTC but they are NOT in the military and I know alot of people in the military that were really mad about them saluting the flag. Are you effin kidding me. Proves people will really bitch about anything w...

Here are some good ones from this year's state hockey tournament. After STA's we know that we will win- we know that you are gay After STA's that's too easy- like your mother Private pussies Scared of double a We've got women yes we do we've got women how bout you After they scored- you're still ga...

But we do not have a system where schools are required to be in a class with other schools of similar enrollments. The "scales" are only "tilted" if you concede that enrollment somehow implies talent. Either it does or it doesn't; the hockey community argues it doesn't all the t...

Nobody in this entire thread ranks STA #1. Some as low as 6th. It seems that STA made the right decision staying single A. Everyone here thinks they will have some good competition. I would not even rank STA higher than 7th. They will have huge holes to fill on offense and they don't have the horse...

This blogger got it right, STA and other metro privates have ruined class A. Do what BSM and Ken Pauly did, and play to your skill level. "After a while, it is nothing more than trophy chasing." How many times will people keep posting the same damn thing over and over in different threads...

unreal. St. Thomas which is a AA caliber team, playing A and crushing the dreams of anyone else including teams in 4A like Mahtomedi, Totino, and SSP from ever getting their chance to play in the state tournament. Just ridiculous. Grow a pair! ](*,) [-( #-o :-({|="crushing the dreams of anyone...

Mendota Heights, of course :lol: I find it interesting how people think that the only justifiable way that a person would play hockey for a private school is if they lived next door to it. People don't go to St. Thomas, the only school of its kind in Minnesota, because it is convenient. I go to BSM...

Mendota Heights, of course

Section 3A

in class AA... it doesn't bother me when private schools make it (simply because of open enrollment and how many kids transfer to other schools just like they would a private school.) Yeah HM recruits the best players from the NE 'burbs, but many schools pull players in from other districts and get...

2006- STA wins A title with OT win over Orono, 2OT win over Hermantown, and a comeback against Duluth Marshall in the championship. Don't remember a dull moment in class A that year. 2005- History teacher saying that if we could get the TV to show the tourney (no antenna), we could watch it. Constru...

I see many have picked Hermantown to win in the poll but none have posted about them. Let me be the first. Hermantown will win and show why they, not St. Thomas Academy, should have been the number one seed. Not saying Hermantown won't win, but why do they deserve the number one seed? Good wins ove...

they would prolly dominate SE Minnesota

At Hill, we don't claim to have more Catholics, we claim to have better players, and more championships. :D :roll: just imagine if WBL and Roseville and the rest of that section could recruit like Hill..would be a much more even playing field If their programs were any good the players wouldn't lea...

It's funny how when Breck beats Hermantown, "the best team lost", and "they only won on a garbage goal"

But when Edina beats Tonka, "the score determines the best team" and "winners win, losers lose"

To all of you who think that some of the class A private schools should move up a class: there is no reason for it. Ok so Breck won back to back state championships...they had a good grade. Breck had just over 40 players try out this year (barely enough for two full teams). If Breck moved up a clas...

In fairness to the MSHL, in the 90's class A was pretty fair and balanced. the only two private schools to play for a class A championship were Totino and Benilde. Since 2000 though, it has been pretty ridiculous, and I think everyone agrees it is time for a change.

In regards to breck vs STA and who should move up here is what I think, Breck has some where around 450 students. STA has 700 but they arent they all boys? If this is true STA should be thought of as a 1400 student school. And if you combine this with their level of success their is no question the...

I love the moronic hypocrisy on this board haha. I went to STA for two years before transferring to Cretin so I know whats its like to be for and against them. When STA wins and go's to state, they are ridiculed for going to the JV tournament. But when Mahtomedi wins, they are congratulated for goin...

sorry are goalie knows how to party and still be better then ur goalie.. maht wins big and shuts stGAY up Wow, that was brilliant, the way you questioned the sexuality of students at STA, I've never heard anyone say that before. Tha'ts such original material. Have you considered stand-up? And the w...
