Question for Section Seeding

Question about section tournaments (because I don't follow close enough to know):

When there are more than 8 teams in a section, how does the seeding work for the 9th and 10th teams? What is the play-in procedure?

Thanks.

Any chance there is streaming of any of these festivals? I know there won't be production quality stuff, but anyone going to be doing anything for the folks back home?

Re: Safesport centralized disciplinary database

I think the single scariest message anyone related to hockey could get right now would be "Hi, this is Katie Strang, and I'd like to speak with you." I think she is doing the job she needs to do to help support kids in vulnerable positions, but it would scare the hell out of me if I had that come ac...

Re: Coaching Changes 2023-24 - Official Thread

I feel like this quote from the WDC coach probably speaks a bit to what many high school coaches are in the midst of (emphasis added) : “I still enjoy practice, games, bus rides, hanging out with the guys, etc.," Woods explained. "Those things can cause burnout for some coaches, but not for me. It's...

Re: The Rise of the North in Coming Years?

I think you give Hibbing a year or two to get bigger and stronger (hard to play against guys three years older than you are) and they're going to have a couple year run near the top for A. Like any smaller program (in the city or out-state) they will need to hold all of the players for the full run...

Re: Coach Lechner

There are plenty of coaches with lots of talent that manage to screw it up. Kudos to Lech for getting it done consistently. I agree with this take. There are plenty of Coaches who have talent and manage to keep the team average. Conversely, there are some coaches without as much talent who sometime...

Re: 7AA Semifinal: Coon Rapids vs Duluth East

East only up 2-1 after 2. Coon Rapids scored first and led 1-0 after the first. Who are these guys?! The current Juniors and top Sophs from Coon Rapids are the deepest group the high school has seen in quite a while. Most played PW AA and Bantam AA during youth (which doesn't sound like much if you...

Re: EYE-POPPER GAMES

That is correct, Stillwater lost to both Roseville and Mounds View this week. Was at both games. Stillwater didn't play poorly in either game except for the typical lapses in attention to detail for a high school team. Goaltending lapses in both games for SW while RV and especially MV's goalies pla...
