My personal Opinion, I agree, I do not expect much from White Bear this year. Their strength is a couple of defense. I also am not sold on Hill as some are, I guess I see a couple nice players, but even their better talented players are not like the top Hill players of the past years. Stillwater is ...
PSEO is a great way to go for high school kids who are smart enough to get some free college credits out of the way while still attending high school. I had a family member do the same thing while they were in High school. Never had trouble playing their 3 high school sports.
I am not real familiar with Blaine, but questions I do have is on defensive / goalie side of things. It sure seesm like the Blaine has enough scoring power to play with anyone. However in a tight game can Blaines defense / goaltending win it for them?
If Cloquet were to beat Grand Rapids that could throw a wrench into seedings. I think this game has more of a swing from possibly 3 - 6 ranks ? Or higher based on Grand Rapids play.
Also - good battle will be Centennial vs White Bear. i think 2 evenly matched teams. fun game to go watch.
The Andover / Forest Lake Game is probably the determining factor of who is #4 or #5 seed come section time. which means they would play again at the Home site of Team #4. I do not see alot of movement from these two teams from 4 - 5 seed based on the first half of the season.
Cretin - F-Lake game fun to watch. Looked like FL was going to take it to Cretin after period 1. FL some very skilled hard working forwards some on the smaller side, but very skilled and quick. Goaltending good on both ends, although Cretin's tender had to make a couple BIG saves to preserve the tie...
I have seen rapids play many times through out the years. They do have a tendency to be a rough team. They do historically take alot of penalties, and a lot of dumb penalties at that. I know its hurt them in the past. their next few opponents seem to have pretty solid power play units so they better...
this one really surprised me. any one know what the shots were? is East down this year? is Cambridge stong this year. I do not get the opportunity to see these two teams so not real familiar with year to year talent.
Exciting time of year. I am sure all rosters are starting to take shape.
its been interestnig talking to a few different programs on thier process as well as the overall number of kids that tryout. Games starting soon.. best of luck to everyone...
This story and little girl have been put through the "forum Ringer" to be honest who are we to say what one family does with their kids. we maynot agree with it, but its not our choice. to me the bigquestion here is Why is this even Article writting Material. What point are they trying to ...
Hate to say it, But Hard to argue with that one. Duluth East on Top until someone proves them different. Although I do think a few teams will have better then usual chance to knock them off. Elk River? Grand Rapids (Only if AP comes back) maybe Forest Lake, Maybe Andover (although with out Perry a b...
did anyone pick their book up? how is it this year? does it look like team analyisis accurate? trying to get some feedback before I make a purchase. just curious on some feedback. thx
MN High School league can only make so many changes to satisfy those opting for more. The MN High School league has 3 seasons of sports they have to manage (Fall, Winter, Spring) Overlapping seasons is tough for all involved. Only way "MN hockey" would change is if there were other options...
[I know they tried to get this done but the D2 members voted it down hmmm.... All AA D2 associations were for but Roseville, and they were the deciding vote. (Single A teams were against it as well)[/quote] I thought voting was done by a weighted vote based on association size ? if Roseville was th...
to me, hearing that Andover is only skating at an "A" level says that - they (as in Associations ??) do not think they have the ability to compete with the bigger programs. which can make sense for some, but unless Andover High School team plans on dropping to High School Class A level, ho...
the districts officails are the ones that allow this to happen. How Many use a grandparents address in another community, yet they still lay their head at night at a home in their old community? not hard to figure out. also consider how the honest tax payers feel? its becoming AAA hockey mantality w...
that phrase "you have the rest of your life to ....." can be used for anything. church! christmas, etc. I do know some families have an annual tradition 3 and 4 generation families all going hunting togather. That may not fit into "you have the rest of your life to do that". pare...
We need to remember - In life you make decissions everyday that reflect who you are, what your values are, i.e. Set you family belief's, values and stick to them. if hunting is big family event, missing 3 - 4 days of hockey will not impact the player at all. this same value system goes with Educatio...
