Congrats! I wish he could have showed why he won it yesterday.

SLP should be pretty happy with the new section assignments. Very good chance to get to state. Should make a difference on who stays.

Has Lee ever locked a thread started by Karl? :lol: :lol: I think so, but I asked his permission first. :) Lee Yeah, I think that happened fairly recently. And it could certainly happen again, if this one goes the way of the last one, and if I don't beat him to the 'lock' button. :wink: It seemed l...

Yeah, I know it's not HS hockey but Russo says he's off to see the wizard.

It does seem like an awful lot of bandwidth for what could have been a pretty simple poll. Feels like research for a thesis on board behavior.

I'm hoping your arm gets tired pretty quick!

+1 and then some! Hope to see their pics added to the wall at New Hope Arena. Both have had their photos on the wall of fame at New Hope since their freshman year at their respective schools. Fail on my part! I need to get up there and look more often. Now if we can just see 'em both playing in the...

Alright so you just don't understand the word irony then, glad that's cleared up. And no, we have nothing close to what prep schools out on the east coast are doing, or any semblance of AAA league play here. Good competition in high school hockey is the biggest thing keeping that from happening. Ki...

I'm saying that right now we seem to have a 'semi-prep' environment in this state (public and private) and the genie is already out of the bottle. Kids are hockey shopping. David Backes and Ben Hanowski are becoming dinosaurs. Alright so you just don't understand the word irony then, glad that's cl...

Bolded is irony. Seems that drawing ignorant parallels DOES fly here. What did you even say here? If the MSHSL invited a prep school environment by kicking out private schools it would be disastrous for high school hockey in the state. I'm saying that right now we seem to have a 'semi-prep' environ...

Bolded is a complete joke. Trying to draw ignorant parallels isn't going to fly here. High school hockey in MN would be watered down big time, if not outright killed if privates were booted. Of all MSHSL sports to kick privates out of hockey would be the worst. Our model of youth hockey development...

Here we go again! :wink: Exhibit A: Check the minnhock archives at http://www.minnhock.com/archives.htm and go to boys hockey section scores and check the section 5a (pre 2008)/section 4a (post 2008) section tournament seeds and results. Shame on you. From About MSHSL: "The League exists to pr...

IMHO We already have the New England preps here and they're being allowed to compete in the MSHSL unfairly. At least SSM is honest about what they're doing and this year THEY couldn't beat you guys. At least you got to see what it feels like to win a fair fight. A private school tounament didn't de...

Creating a private school tournament would destroy high school hockey. Privates would just go to 20 minute periods, extended schedules, start giving out full athletic scholarships. Think about a ~50 game season of elite level hockey that you don't have to go to boarding school or live with a host f...

Here we go again! :wink: Does anyone know where you can find the actual enrollments of the schools in MN? The enrollment page on the mshsl site has the numbers after multipliers, but doesn't show the actual enrolled as far as I'm aware. Tell me about the public schools in DC. .. Regardless of your o...

I'm just curious what people think recruiting actually is? Do people think that these coaches go to PW and Bantam games as just starting calling players? That's what I wanna know! I imagine it's a soup of hyper-active alumni, doting parents, school reputations and yes even talent scouting. The pizz...

section 5 not exactly limping in either!

I've always wondered (no experience here!) which memory - for the players - is better: 3rd place (or consolation champs) ending with a win or 2nd place ending on a loss. The Meirs Moore comment reminded me. Meirs might actually be a good person to ask, as he's now done both--though I suppose gettin...

No names please, but was he a gifted academic or perhaps athlete or even both? I don't want a smoking gun, I just want to know that the play for pay conspiracy theorists are not tilting at windmills. gifted at hockey left Stillwater in HS alumi payed all his bills at Hill including Hill gear like h...

Here's the part you're asking about TRANSFER RULE MSHSL Bylaw 111 A transfer student is eligible for varsity competition provided the student was in good standing on the date of withdrawal from the last school the student attended and one (1) of the provisions in Section B (below) is met. A transfer...

If he's a top line talent he should have been contacted by now!

Seriously, if this is a real question type MSHSL into Google and get a real answer.

Hope he's a better scout than TV personality!

The three BSM kids families DID move to St Louis Park, adhering to the transfter rule. Private schools give need-based and merit scholarships. That is why they have a wide range of socio-economic classes representing their schools. If a hockey player or a basketball or football player happens to re...
