Re: Early Departures 2021-22

Hearing from two sources this week a high profile division one kid is thinking right now to be an early depart for either US or NA . It is still early and things can change , and who know what will happen with Covid in juniors and Mshsl . For this reason, best for a home school forum rep to provide...

Re: Fluid AA Offseason Top 25

Benilde may very well put the pieces together and play to their level of talent, but that would go against the trend of recent seasons. They have the ability to be ranked higher than #12, but I'm going to have to see it to believe it. I agree with some of the points being made about Maple Grove. Th...

Re: Fluid AA Offseason Top 25

CDH playing in the title game of the Lakeview Summer Hockey Festival up here in Duluth. Knocked off Mahtomedi and Benilde on their way. BSM was up 3-0 until midway thru the game when they swapped out to the backup goalie...wheels fell off after that. With that said, CDH is going to be good this year.

Re: 2022 UMHSEL Thread

Just dawned on me that the Plante listed on Kowalski's is Max ('06) and not Zam. Seriously? Was there a requirement that a Plante be on the team? I find it hard to believe that there wasn't a more deserving junior or senior who could be playing in the league while the '06 plays Tier 1 for the Blades...

Mikan and his 2 goals from last season (both of which were EN)? That's a head scratcher. He's not going back to BSM either.

Re: 2021-22 Coaching Openings

Probably a good time in the East timeline for Mike to step down. He and the Hounds have had a nearly 3 decade long run of being one of the top teams in the State. It will be interesting to see where the program goes under a new regime. Every one of us is replaceable. Mike did a great job, and left ...

Thanks for posting. By my count it looks like a three-way tie between Moorhead, Maple Grove, and Chaska with the most sending 3 each. A few with two. Nice variety this year. I saw the 16s and was gobsmacked nearly every one is from W/SW suburbs. The W/SW is pretty stacked (going down to the '09 bir...
