Tourney Time

I'm just beginning to work my way through this book by Loren Nelson & Dave La Vaque. If you don't already have it, spend the $30 & get it from Barnes & Noble, Amazon & other places. The one I bought at the tournament is an updated one & covers up to the 2023 tournament. Full of, as it says, back sto...

Re: Class A Championship #1 seed 7A Hermantown (20-8-2) vs #3 seed 5A St. Cloud Cathedral (25-4-1)

Congratulations to the Crusaders and their coaches who put together a great game plan. Both teams left it all on the ice. Maybe the Hawks need to drop down another class to get that next title. Oh, my bad…that’s not available yet 😎 I was wondering who'd be the first to throw THAT subject out there!...

Re: Thanks Lou

I will be viewing at my own crib tonight, for several reasons. I make my own garlic cheese bread for about a buck forty-five, and I can wash it down with a beer. But being able to hear Luigi one last time is also a small part of it. One of the underrated talents in life is to know when to leave the...

Re: Greatest Ever Upsets at State

The Hylanders from Columbia Heights, participating in the school's lone Tourney appearance in 1983 shocked the state of hockey defeating the defending State Champion Hornets of Edina in dramatic fashion 2-0 behind the superb goal tending of Reggie Miracle - that is still regarded today as one of th...

Sharpest and most boring uniforms at the tournament

Alright, I started this last year.
Which team has the sharpest uniform this year? This year, I have to go with St. Cloud again, although Cretin is a close second.
Most boring?
Hands down, Chanhassen. 🙄

Re: hs hockey broadcasts on radio, tv, and the web

State tournament is being carried on 1440 AM The Biz if you're out and about.
Trouble is it's a lower power station with a weak signal after sunset.

Re: Thanks Lou

Lou's the biggest reason I stay home from AA games. He sees things in a game that a viewer might not and does an unsurpassed job of explaining the game. His unbridled enthusiasm clearly comes through on his broadcasts and who can forget his call a couple of years ago in the Andover- Maple Grove 2 ot...

I remember that the system had an outage last year at about the same time.
You're right, it did crash at tourney time last year. But due to the behind the scenes efforts by Karl, Lee, and others, it's back up just like last year.
Maybe it becomes a tourney question like who wins a match. :roll:

Re: AA Rankings for 2/18/24

Just a gentle correction, Karl. You said Rosemount could make their very first tournament trip.
They were in the Tier II 1992 tournament which was played at Target Center.
After a 4 win season they got hot at the right time only to lose to Greenway in the championship game 6-1.

Looks like Sections 7 & 8 could use the old model of some team representing Region 3. Might eliminate some of the Wednesday mismatches. :D

Thanks again, Karl for your diligence and hard work this week.
In about a month we'll have to find something else to read during the off-season that won't be close to this interesting.

Re: A Rankings for 2/11/24

These weekly A & AA reports and rankings are better than any Sunday paper or TV network talk shows.

It’s been fun watching Rapids throughout the year. They were decent to start the season and have been noticeably better as the calendar winds down. Clafton’s consistency to roll the majority of the roster seems to be paying off as time rolls on. They were outshot by quite a bit early on but have im...
