Brainerd had a Bantam A coach several years ago that had a strict decorum policy for both parents and players. He would actually point to a parent from the bench if they were yelling at a ref or opposing players. The parents were told they would be asked to leave if they couldn't behave. Parents and...

So the first 2 pages are what a horrible environment the coach leads and when the school gets rid of him it's the politics and parents? I have no ax to grind here but does anyone else see this as a little strange? This thread was started by a Spud fan and most of the negative posts are not Brainerd...

Pretty crappy way that this was handled. Another instant of parents chasing a coach out! Be careful what you wish for. Good luck finding ANY coach that will put the time, energy and committment into Brainerd Hockey that Archibald has!

Re: Why would Breck move up a class?

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...

IF I ran 45, I'd get each participating school to have their TV production class put together a video for their school. It wouldn't cost 45 anything and would be alot more entertaining than the same OLD video's played over and over! Also, get rid of the blonde- she's embarrasing. This is the State o...

Re: Breck winning "A" State championship is a JOKE

MOVE UP BRECK....THIS IS A JOKE......wow, you beat the small town of Hermantown, meanwhile you get to pick kids sprawled across the metro. Grow a pair BRECK, and move up with the big boys. Settle down MN. It was a great game. If fact, the Hawks outplayed em for most of the game. That's what makes t...

Rams Section 8AA champs. Hmm now what do you think about the seeding when the Rams beat Both the 3rd and 1st seed? :lol: I still think they were given a gift in the seedings and Brainerd deserved the home-ice advantage.

The Moorhead coach voted how 99% of the coaches would. Head to Head when teams are close. Why even play games within the section if they are not going to use the results! If you look at the rest of the sections, head to head is used when teams are close. Each team sends their results to each coach ...

Re: Shame on the bottom feeders...

I don't give a flippin' flock of flies -- Brainerd should have been seeded higher than Roseau because they earned the right to host the semi-final by virtue of beating the Rams in head-to-head competition. Had these seeds been administered properly (like the NHL, NFL, et al) - Brainerd would have b...

In talking with most of the coaches I am not surprised at all. The top 4 teams' coaches all think anyone of the top 4 could win this. elliot, what are your thoughts?

Section final game is in St. Cloud? Big Ice..... The way I heard the story, Morinville thought TRF was too close to Roseau to be a fair neutral site for Mhd, so he offered Fargo's UP Center as a "more fair" option. Roseau and Bemidji said no way, and the southern teams didn't really care,...

The officiating was what it was, I won't say bad but definitely inconsistent....suffice to say! Or, maybe that is what poor officiating is. Moorhead outplayed the Warriors - yet the Warriors had every opportunity to win. A missed penalty shot.....a bad bounce....terribly out shot in the first perio...

If Bemidji is very average then Brainerd is not much more than average.
Your Bemidji bias is clouding your judgement. From where I'm looking if 11-8 is average, then 16-2 is certainly above average.
