Re: Who wins? Elk River/Zimmerman vs Moorhead - Section 8AA Championship

Not great goaltending but Elks are blowing in when they get the puck. Easily could be tied after 2.

Re: Section 8AA seeding

They overcame it. 4-3 Elks over Rams. Thursday at the MAC in St Cloud. Elks and Spuds have some history in section finals in St Cloud. Why at the MAC and not the Herb? That's where the history is at. St Johns has a playoff game at the Herb on Wednesday. Pretty sure the section had 3 potential sites...

Re: Section 8AA seeding

Elk River has pieced together a nice 17 win season, good first line and capable athletic Sophomore goalie. In reality I would think they have a chance to beat Roseau, a chance. The chance would obviously lessen with the Spuds. With that being said they only beat Bemidji by one in a afternoon tilt in...

Re: AA Rankings for 12/19/21

Hopkins basketball anyone??? Please. One school. You can't compare that to what happens in hockey every single season. Player movement is out of control in basketball as well. Players recruited during the summer, private schools at the forefront of this but public school powers also in the mix. Top...

Re: Teams Making a Jump to Relevance

Why are their home games at Phalen Arena and not at Aldrich? Aldrich is still a St. Paul public arena and not a shrine to Hill Murray. Johnson asked for Ramsey County to make upgrades to Phalen-Gustafson Arena, on the JHS campus. I was among many who thought this was a great idea. This may have bee...

Re: 8AA 2021-2022 Season

Elk River was able to get everyone in 8AA on the schedule except Moorhead and Roseau which will make seeding interesting. Still playing East, Rapids and Cloquet so would hope those 2 can be worked in next year. The new rink is spectacular in ER.
Is 8AA a QRF section?

In odd fashion the Elks have been assigned to section 7 for football which clearly will lead to an East/ER neutral site matchup in the playoffs.
