Re: A Rankings for 1/28/24

Egads! The A tournament could see a sub 500 team seeded? No wonder there's no drama in the first round. It would save a lot of money to hold those games at the home rink of the higher seeds. Disagree with that take but again everyone is entitled to their own opinion. For what it's worth at least th...

Re: A Rankings for 1/14/24

I'm genuinely curious about something. In the write up on Mahtomedi, the win over Hastings is highlighted, and it is specifically mentioned that Hastings is AA. Now, Hastings has not been any sort of a factor in AA this year, and really for some time. I think a couple/three years ago they made a li...

Re: 1AA and 8AA

You must not follow Class A much or look at the strength of schedule. I still see Zephyrs as the 4 or 5 seed at State. Depends on who wins 2A. But if they somehow ended up as unseeded would make for a fun Wednesday and would give a top 3 seed a heck of a game. I think the Class A SF and Championshi...

Re: Class AA QF - Hill-Murray vs #1 Minnetonka

Roseau 34 Let's hope Roseau makes it next year. Eventually Hill will pass them (and maybe even Edina who tries to claim 37 or so times at state), but I like the idea of it being a northern team. Roseau has such good teams for such a small town. I think the argument for Edina claiming 37 trips to st...

Re: Section Playoffs Super Saturday 2-26-22 Games

Surprised I haven't seen a post about Edina-Wayzata yet. A phenomenal high school hockey game. Tight-checking, but plenty of scoring chances. Physical, but not dirty. Outstanding goaltending. There were many embraces between Hornets and Trojans after the game. A ton of respect shown between two wel...

Re: AA Rankings for 1/30/22

Overall, there is parity, with no one or 2 or 3 dominant teams. What I find interesting that some of these sections are a little lacking compared to recent years. Sections 1, 2, and 5 don't look very potent. Not that I'm counting anyone out. No offense but section 4 looks worse than 5. I might argu...

Re: Edina 2010's All-Decade Team

I’m with Doc and think Girard probably get the nod for me over Benjamin.

I also think Benny Walker might deserve a spot on the list over Jordahl. Probably doesn’t have the points Jordahl did, but he didn’t benefit from playing with Hurley and Malmquist.

Re: AA Rankings for 12/8/19

I know they were called the Cougars. They use to sell Edina West T shirts at General sports around 2010.
Not sure what the colors were, but the shirts made it seem like their colors were still Green and Gold. The green might have been a bit darker than East's but that is my best guess.

Re: state championships

I don't either. You can count them when you combine schools except when you were once two schools. It does seem unfair to have two chances at a title and count those the same as the rest of the schools that had one.
