Most should be out in next day or two.

I hate to burst the bubble of the Debbie Downer crowd but the waiting list for season tickets just hit 10 years. I’ll wait for a second..........yep, 10 years. I think The Tourney is doing just fine. My guess is it’s far more likely that the lens through which you see the tourney changes over time....

You can appeal your classification. Minnesota a River was initially assigned to the same section as New Prague and Eden Prairie. Minneapolis was assigned to an AA section. The appeal process is not defined by the MSHSL.....why can MN River, Minneapolis, and New Ulm opt down but Dodge County can’t?....

I included the full enrollment of each school in the co-op, since I'm not sure whether a reduction applies to cooperative agreements. In any event, both are comfortably below the A/AA cutoff. I do recall Marshall originally being assigned to 1AA when the sectional assignments were released in 2017,...

He can't play next year at Chaska. done deal. GB

Not that simple.

Pitlick is openly unsure at this moment. Nothing secret. I’m sure the team and him mutually agreed that since it’s up in the air, no need to have him as captain. As for birthdays, Clay Hanus is a March ‘01, and if he were still in high school he would be eligible to play next year as a senior. No re...

Hearing from a good upper end source that you WILL see PINO in a FIRE uniform next season. =D> Let summer fun begin! Any indication if younger brother Brad will transfer from Delano and join Garrett with the Fire? Here's a question - if the older one transferred and they moved - did the younger one...

Thanks for all the great listening over the year! Out of curiosity, have you guys ever gone back and listened to the previous year’s way too early top 10 and guesses on early departures to see how close you were? I remember a few misses on early departures from last year, but I’m guessing it’s easie...

It easy to think of this sort of thing in terms of hockey. But the high school league runs many sports. If hockey wants their own deal, basketball probably will too, and girls may be different than boys. So there's that. Now guys here like to get up in arms about seeding the stat tourney. First, it...

Looks like a great setup. Close enough to regular sections to not shake things up too much but still probably a better way to do it to help avoid top 5 teams not making state. However, you said you reseeded based on QRF for the hypothetical Supersection games, but it looks like you just seeded the t...

Assuming no early leavers (which isn’t a given) BSM is my pick to win it all next year. You heard it here first.

Mostly agree with you but Jungels would be the other one who had 2 good games and a quiet final.

That’s true. Good first game and a half. That might be the best of them all actually.

Maybe I’m wrong (not a HS hockey history buff), but it seems like it’s been a while since none of the Mr Hockey candidates really stood out in the state tournament. Koster and Luedtke not in, Donovan knocked out first round, Brodzinski unnoticeable after QF game, Nevers nothing spectacular. Jensen w...

Edina gave up a 3-0 lead to Chaska this year. STA can do the same.

No skin in this game, but hate to see a game decided by the refs. The blown no-call that would have given Blaine a 5-3 up two goals and instead ends up with an EP PP was a game-changer.

This is supposed to be a small realignment, with a big one coming in two more years. It’s a chance to re-look at enrollment numbers for schools on the cusp like Northfield, Mahtomedi, and Waconia (like New Prague two years ago). Generally expect if any of these schools move up to see some 7 or 9 tea...

Wow EP was a 3 seed in section 2AA and then a 3 seed at state. When’s the last time something like that happened?

Agree Pitlick wont be back. And unfortunately Chaska/Chans dynamite youth squads will be splitting off to three high schools , so could be a while before another Hawk run. Its going to be all EP in Section 2 AA next year. Middlestadts. And if there were any Batchelder/Holt doubters left, things sho...

Too bad Chaska couldn't win today. Would have liked to see those guys have a chance against HF to get to the X Good point. One of them would've been a first-timer to state. It was probably Chaska’s last chance for a while. You don’t get four D-1 players on a roster everyday. They’ll lose some and b...

I’m not sure if all #1 seeds in all 8 sections have ever gone on to win their section tournaments but it seems that every year there are surprising upsets. Who are some real dark horses going into sections that could knock off the top seeds besides #2 seeds like Rosemount, EP or Hill. I think Champ...

any idea who would play at what times in the bracket? I do not understand why they wait to post bracket winners? With highest seed choosing, it’s a bit presumptuous to have the 1 seed decide beforehand, so out of fairness to the 8 seed they wait until it’s official. Heck, sometimes 8 seeds win! In ...

My prediction top 5 vote getters Brodzinski-Winner Koster Luedtke Donovan Huglen I’d swap out Donovan for Jensen, Jungels or Nevers. RD certainly will be a finalist, but this has also been a disappointing regular season for him, no if, ands or buts, I mean many thought of him as the preseason favor...

Rumor is final 5 has been selected.
Anyone have the list?

It’s true, and they will be announced early-mid this week.

The hit to BSM player ,Callahan, was much more dangerous then the other hits in the game. The hit to Callahan was worthy of a multi game suspension. As the player hits Callahan from behind (Chaska player has ample time to access the situation) he decides to run him from behind and extend both arms ...
