Heard this weekend that Erickson is leaving early from East also? Does anybody know if this is true?

As of a today Galatz is off the "Northern" HSEL roster and I didn't see him on any other roster... Not sure what that means. (Juniors?)

The great plains coach is from EGF, thus he cannot coach his own kids, they have to play on the north team, he and clafton have a wink wink to take as many of each others kids as possible. Thats the benefit of being the coach. If organizations want their kids on tge team the coaches need to get inv...

Between the HSEL and Tier 1, it looks like most of Rapids roster . Good for that program, it's good to see.

That sounds like a bunch of Hooey
If it were true he would have skated with Denfeld

He did play with Marshall... to get some ice before the USHL.

He’ll now disappear into the large pool of junior hockey and just be another player trying to make it. Unless he plays with Hermantown, Denfeld, or Duluth Marshall this year and next 🤔 He will be just fine (but he is not coming back). He's big, strong, hard worker and more importantly: has great ch...

When do we get to hear all of the seedy details of how STA's coaching position came to be filled?

There is one rumor that an administrator left over the coaching hire. The coaching hire had nothing to do with his departure.

You know it all's crack me up. Lets set the record straight. First off I hate to break the news to the haters. Fact Biondi and Pierce will be back next year. So quit talking about it or hoping they leave. Second, nobody at Hermantown wants the Virginia kid (who is going to Hermantown next year, loc...

Pekyman, there it is... Why would you assume his program is begging kids to come? (Because everyone else's programs suck?). I don't believe Jeffy has ever stated which program that he's from but I'm thinking it's East (?). East has hardly "begged" kids to come but they do have kids come in. The diff...

Apparently HT is going after a goalie from Cloquet and a leading scorer from Virginia. Hearing that the Virginia "homegrown" transplant bought a house in HT to be eligible for next year.

Agreed, I'd pump the brakes on Denfeld a bit. As good as their bantam team was this year, they only beat Hibbing 3-2 and 3-1, and Virginia 3-0, so it's not like they were light years ahead of other 7A teams. Plus, their Pee Wee team was 2-23, so it doesn't appear there will be a solid sophomore cro...

Denfeld losing a ton. They will have 2 forwards and goalies. Period. The 2 forwards returning were Denfelds leading scorers. Denfeld loses #3 & #4 leading scorers but gain at least 4 forwards coming up that can play and score. The forwards coming up are more complete that play far better both ways ...

Yup... Public School Champs! With all of the great story lines you waited a day to post that !?!? .... That might be your claim to fame but not these blokes. Why didn't you congratulate GW after the game when they beat one of the "unbeatable teams from the cities" from Mahtomedi? They ran out of st...

The Gopher Bar reported that Greenway fans broke the record of beer consumption by drinking 45 cases of beer on Wednesday. I’m guessing a new record might be made today. Lol. I heard that and also heard a lot of "see you at the Gopher". Curious, it's a bit off the beaten path, is there a Greenway c...

How was this crowd so pro- Greenway? I'd guess that under most opponents, Mahtomedi are the darlings, finally cruising to their first title, as it would be. Sure they're Metro, but they are the prototypical small school the two class format was made for. Has Mahtomedi born the brunt of the crowd li...

I think Greenway has the better top 10. They kept their legs in the first game so hopefully they can do it again. With Moorhead and East out, a Greenway/EGF final would salvage the tourney for me. Let's git er done Boys! Thought you already reached your tourney nirvana now that HT has been eliminat...

Hey Goldy, #1 it's his alma mater. #2 if you don't like A hockey, don't go the the boards to discuss it. #3 A guy with the moniker "Goldy Gopher" probably shouldn't talk about a "below average team".... =D> Since he has such love for his alma mater, is he recruiting any of them? Or is he using his ...

Frank is an absolute gem. Just an idea. . .focus on your D1 team, or satisfy your man crush and go coach Greenway. What purpose does it serve a D1 coach to go on a rambling dissertation about a below average HS hockey team? Hey Goldy, #1 it's his alma mater. #2 if you don't like A hockey, don't go ...

He's one hell of a player. Hard to argue against him being the best junior in the state. Like many he had this year, his goal against Greenway was sick. If the offer is still there, it would be hard to turn down the NTDP considering the pedigree of the program. Probably depends on if he'd be willing...

The STUDENT, their skills, their abilities their character, who attend these schools...matter much MORE. ☝️ Absolutely correct, couldn't agree more. Move them or spend the money for private if it makes you feel good, but the kids will determine where they go in life. Parents have changed a lot in t...

Hermantown is a great place to live. Kids go to Hermantown because their parents value a small town like school vs East or Denfeld that graduate 600+ kids per yr...We moved here from East Duluth 5.5 yrs ago, not for hockey (neither kid played when we moved, both my play now, so I'm guessing when th...

East, they are always good and always get favored by the stripes up here in the north. It is just the way it is from peewees up through high school. Probably the biggest reason I dislike that program. There was a questionable "late call" against East that tied the game, it goes both ways. I'm sure ...

[/quote] Hermantown Defense NEVER pinch, EVER. Clafton did a great job breaking out high creating multiple (like 15) odd man rushes..why Htown didnt start pinching is beyond me, it would have shut GW down in a lot of ways. Htown always plays the same game...works most of the time but last night, Sta...

Rainer and NWOT The 27 page nightmare Hermantown thread can now be closed ?😆😀 No, the hockey gods had enough of it. Greenway played how they needed to (keep it close, go in spurts when they had a chance, try not to expend too much energy) and HT looked pretty flat. It almost looked like they though...

Go Raiders!!
