Stangs - yeah, I know that BP has a rink. When I said BP, I was referring to the corridor of communities along 252/65 within a radius of Columbia (NE MPLS, Fridley, Columbia Heights, BP, New Brighton). Demographic or not, any loss of indoor ice is bad for the game. Rebuilding hockey in the inner ri...

Great stuff from the tres amigos. The surprise podcast brightened up my Sunday, and I particularly enjoyed some of the historical discussion. Two points I wanted to follow up on... 1. Tony mentioned the closure of Columbia as being the death knell for hockey in places like Columbia Heights and Brook...

Josh Weyandt for Chan and Will Pinney for St. Louis Park didn't get much attention because of the teams they played on but they should get a chance. Maybe Caleb Mayer as well. I stumbled across a few Chanhassen game streams this year, and Weyandt was the only reason they were competitive. You prett...

I’ll throw in Konrad Kausch from Duluth East. He was main reason they beat some of the top 10 teams this past season. He can also play the puck like a 3rd D man Interesting perspective, since he was buried on JV for the past few years. While Randolph played musical chairs with goalies, Kausch didn’...

I know we had a thread like this last year, and with things being slow I thought it would be worthwhile to kick off the speculation as to which goaltenders will land on junior team rosters this fall (assuming we have a season). Bearing in mind that I know little about goalie evaluation, I would thin...

Out of the 1046 classified deaths as to underlying causes in NY thus far 1.72% did not have one or more of Diabetes, Lung Disease, Cancer, Immunodeficiency, Heart Disease, Hypertension, Asthma, Kidney Disease and GI/Liver Disease. Just because there is an underlying condition that exacerbates CoVid...

The Pioneers have also had some outstanding players from the Park-Cottage Grove system. Just recently Pierre, Palodichuk, and Helgeson have all come from there. Didn't Helgeson come from Roseau? And then the family lived in Lake Elmo? I remember that now, you’re absolutely correct. Sorry for the ba...

Warroad finished fourth, but would most likely romp through this field. In that respect I would think it would be less entertaining, though Wednesday games would be more competitive. Here’s a shot at seeding: 1. Warroad 2. Delano 3. Denfeld 4. Alexandria 5. Monticello I could see an argument for Del...

Shaugabay and Moore , numbers 6 and 12 overall

Shaugabay went to Winnipeg, just over two hours from Warroad... hmmm.

No open enrollment? Talk about a non-starter. Pretty sure Minnesota is the first state to allow. You can also add the idea of preventing students from attending private schools in a different community. I’m a bit biased given that I am a private school alumnus, but the public schools in my communit...

Well said, goldy, and I’m sorry to hear about your illness. It sounds like you’re doing well, though, and my thoughts are with you on a safe and speedy recovery.

Agree on the Otters. To me they were the team that improved the most during the year this year. It’s pretty amazing that FF went from being destroyed by Sartell 10-0 in early December to slashing the Sabres 7-2 just over a month later. The Otters really came on strong once the calendar turned to 20...

Elite Prospects should not be used as a source for when players will enter college. I understand the timing on when to bring kids in is fluid. Is Heisenberg the best source? That's where I'd look. Heisenberg just lists commitments by birth year, and unfortunately doesn’t list projected enrollment. ...

Wow, what a get for DM. Wise worked miracles at Concordia-Wisconsin. That program was dead in the water when Wise took over. He certainly knows a thing or two about rebuilding projects.

Will he play juniors first or is he another Sammy Walker? Strobel is listed as a 20-21 commit, so presumably a season of juniors. Motzko has stressed that he wants the Gophers to be older, so that would make sense. Isn't 20-21 this coming Fall? Ha, I’m getting so old that I don’t even realize what ...

Belatedly following up to Tony’s question about the Little Falls arena: the “Exchange” is for the local Exchange Club (a charitable service organization) that is the name sponsor of the arena.

Out of curiousity, how would Manz be able to open enroll back to MSHSL? Would he have to sit out a year like Blake? If his parents move out of their current ISD to another is he free to transfer to any HS he pleases? Not any HS, but he could enroll at either the public school for the new area in wh...

Great stuff as always, Karl. While I always enjoy your contributions here on the board, your free-form writing is even more entertaining to read. I meant to mention this earlier, but I got a chuckle and felt a bit of pride in noticing that you used my rankings in the Class A portion of your state to...

I think we have all seen that article by now, seeing that it is eight years old. You probably don’t need to post it anymore.

YHH Early Projections A 1 Hermantown 2 Warroad 3 East Grand Forks 4 Mahtomedi 5 Duluth Denfeld 6 Little Falls 7 Dodge County 8 Delano 9 Alexandria 10 Orono I know I'm biased, but I am a little skeptical of Warroad for next year. Losing Slykunsky is a big blow to the team. EGF will now have Parker a...

Chesley is a defenseman

Sorry, my bad. Not as familiar with him as a Shattuck kid. Thanks for the correction. Still obviously a group heavy on forwards.

Interesting, or perhaps just random, that all are forwards.
