Tourney Outdoor Viewing Party

Hey everyone! I wish we could be hanging out in downtown St. Paul right now playing some bubble hockey at the Grand 7, waiting in a 45 minute line at Cossetta's or fighting through a moshpit of HS Hockey fans at New Bohemia. Unfortunately that isn't the case this year, however the good folks in down...

HS Hockey Scoreboard Show

Hey everyone. Danny Ryan and myself hosted a MN HS Hockey Scoreboard show last night on FM 100.3 KFAN. While some of the stuff early in the show before the games went final is a little outdated, there are some awesome interviews that we did with all the Class AA winning coaches including Trent Eigne...

Re: Section 4AA thread

They do make the fans switch sides when the are the lower seed which is very confusing for some. But not locker rooms H-M only uses their own locker room for the quarterfinal. They move to the other end for the other games. FYI I believe HM will be able to use their locker room again for the entire...

Re: Section 4AA thread

Oh man there is no way the Coliseum is worthy of being a D1 arena. It only had two advantages over Aldrich. First & foremost was the capacity. Less importantly, the seats have backs. It's a dreary, poorly lit dump. It was the Metrodome of HS hockey. Improving it is like putting lip stick on a p...

There are two ideas that I have to fix this, a long shot and an even longer shot.

Re: No Montage Video

This was the second or third year since they've done one. I know the guy who assembled it each year. It became a budgetary issue (it wasn't cheap to produce). On a whole, the quality of the broadcast is NHL-like, we shouldn't complain. That's not correct. They did one each year since 2012 with the ...

Re: Players crying after loses:Is it bad sportsmanship?

It is definitely bad sportsmanship. I remember back in 2011 when my Bears beat Hill-Murray in the Section 4AA Final how all the Pioneers players were laying down on the ice, consoling each other as their dreams of winning a championship were suddenly shattered and the devastating truth that some of ...

Re: Hockey Day in MN

It's not required, but more of a gentleman's agreement between the coaches in HDM games that everyone gets to play. So much for “gentlemen’s agreement”. Hats off to Manney for getting both goalies in! This is varsity high school hockey and it's number 1 vs. 2. There should be no "gentlemen's a...

One of the biggest problems on a long list of problems the MSHSL has is their sales staff.
