Re: Sharpest and most boring uniforms at the tournament

Cathedral gets extra credit for their logo and the baby blues are sharp. Would bump them up to the "great" category. I was in a bar/restaurant watching the A championship and overheard several people comment positively about the logo and the unis. Love the throwback to the Minnesota Fighting Saints ...

Re: HDM 2025 at ValleyFair in Shakopee

Since this was announced, I've been trying to do a visual of where the rink would be located on the property. Out in the parking lot seems boring but I suppose you could put the rink right next to the entrance and have Wild Thing in the backdrop. Would be cool if there is room INSIDE the park to put...

Re: Streaming

I do appreciate how you can now stream it via the app on Roku. App is installed on my Android phone for the weekend too.

Some advice, it takes a while to load. It will stall, then stall on the schedule screen, eventually it loads up and goes. Patience necessary, even at 1 GIg speed service.

Re: The Hermantown Thread

I think it is obvious Stella Maris is going to evolve into a Tier 1 program. An article I read on the school pretty much outwardly said it, that there is a void of a Catholic school from all across Northern Minnesota all the way down to the Metro and across Wisconsin to Green Bay and up into the UP ...

Re: 8 and under numbers

1. COVID had a huge effect on U8 numbers last year, which should surprise nobody. What we really need to keep our eyes on is this year's enrollment numbers. Need a huge rebound.

2. USAH numbers do not take into account players in non-sanctioned leagues. AAU Mite hockey is growing every year.

Re: A Third Class

I know people don't like recruiting and open enrollment but it could also work in the other direction. Every time a player is recruited and open enrolls into one of the "power programs" it displaces a local player that is a pretty decent hockey player. There is a whole lot of meat left on the bone o...

Re: 3A 2020-21 Season

Not trying to flame here, what has happened to Luverne? They had some pretty solid years and now have really fallen off. I know they have a pretty good group coming up in, I think, PeeWees or Bantam age now. Just some lean years or have they lost players to that AAA program to the west?

Re: Minnesota Hockey Taking Over?

So to sum up this thread, if MHSHL shortens or cancels the season players/parents/coaches are going to find a way to take the ice whether it's through youth hockey, Jr Gold, or by other means. Hockey has been happening all summer with AAA games, Junior camps, etc, and the games will continue through...
