A little more context and sorry I did not post this earlier. I believe there was an issue with a parent of a different wrestler at EP. The family lives on the EP/Tonka Border The kids are homeschooled The senior wrestled for EP last year, as did his brothers. I guess there is no have to sit a year f...

While we all await the section playoffs, I heard something very interesting today, and love to hear others thoughts on it. There is a family in the southwest metro where the son played this fall on the Eden Prairie Football team, and once the season was over, he started wrestling for Shakopee. Famil...

Rumor has it that Carter Crowley (7th Grader PeeWee AA at EP), son of Mike Crowley and brother of Connor Crowley, who left EP to play at Holy Family this year is already planning on open enrolling at Minnetonka for 9th grade...

Great way to start off a Sunday. Only 2 questions: 1. Why is Edina the 2 and BSM the 3 given BSM beat Edina earlier this year. Granted, the only difference is color of the sweater, and last change. 2. Why do you think Shakopee is the 3 and EP the 4? While it may happen that way, take the Top 3 off t...

I have been very impressed with Tonka all season and we have all heard stories about where the kids game from, but apparently here are some details. By the "letter of the law", most players started at Tonka High School in 9th grade, however, most did not play for Tonka in the 8th Grade. Ho...

I am still curious to see how will Section 2 Seeds 3&4 shake out, and games like today may have an impact Shakopee -- 16-3-1, but a Charmin soft schedule. 3-3 likely in Section play, have 1 top 10 win in Rosemount EP -- 12-6-1 with the brutal Lake Conference tilt 2-2 likely in Section play have ...

Ugly end to the Edina HF game. If you get a chance to watch it on mnhockey.tv, please do so. Go to the 2:15 mark. Westrum (HF Coach) goes after the Edina bench and then goes around to it. Unreal

If EP can fix their Penalty Kill situation (at 73%), they might make some noise. In their 3 losses: Lose to HM in OT giving up a PPG and a 6 on 5 goal Lose to Edina giving up PPG, SH, and EN Lose to Grand Rapids giving up 3 PPG 5-5 in those 3 games they outscored each team. They will give some teams...

I will give Holy Family Credit -- They hung in there with Hill for a while. Outshot Hill badly in 1st and had more shots overall I believe. And they came back from a 2-0 deficit to tie it before Hill stepped on the gas. Got the 1st pp goal vs HIll in over 30 attempts. HF is extremely young this year...

Edina beats EP 3-1

Edina scores a PP goal, a SH goal and an EN goal.

EP needs to work on special teams. GR scored 3 goals on PP yesterday, and Hill scored on the PP and 6-5. If they can fix special teams, they will challenge some teams.

All games will be on mnhockey.tv

Goals were down significantly last year, and they moved assistants around to hopefully modify the situation. IMO what hurt EP last year was no seniors upfront, and it did not appear that they had an alpha to lead the team. WIth the overall lack of kids from the class of 2023 (seniors last year) in t...

It appears that an EP winger is headed to Chanhassen. Probably the same comment made in March about a neighbors nephew...

I wish they would treat Private/Charter Schools similar to how they do it in Georgia. Every Private School has a multiplier ( was 2x, now I beleive it is 1.5. So if Mahtomedi's numbers are 1150, they would bump up to 1725, and they would move up to AA without a choice

So Prior Lake just went to E-Learning on Wed and Thurs. No athletics are to be played. But Shakopee appears to be adamant about playing on Thursday. My guess is the game moves to Friday... Holy Family does not want to move the game either. Guessing Eden Prairie will go to e-learning. Why these 4 sch...

Should games get postponed, would they consider moving them to Saturday (QF) and Monday (SF) Thinking more about 1AA and 2AA While HS takes priority -- wonder what will happen with the Youth games -- They are getting prepped for Region Tournies, and with cancellations, they face some challenges as w...

With the 2AA seedings out, this will be the first time EP plays a quarterfinal road game since 1996. HF on a 12 game win streak, and finally got over the EP hump this year. While Tonka is a clear #1 team in the state, they have to play a pesky Chaska team, and most likely will face either a Chan tea...

Doesn't head to head count for something? Chanhassen has a better section record -- They are 7-0 in section. How do the coaches give the 1 seed to a team that lost?

Yes, Tonka is the better team, but they lost and will probably be seeded 2nd.

WIthout a doubt, Karl, reading your rankings is part of my Sunday ritual. Walk the dog, read the rankings. Thanks for what you do to make winter go by a little easier Interesting in your comment that seems spot on. Benilde is probably stuck in the 3 spot in their section, and they have 20+ games to ...

I have been fortunate enough to broadcast a number of the girls games so far this season, and I have seen Tonka, Edina, Maple Grove, Blake, & Hill Murray among others. I hope to do a gentry game later in the season. There is no question that Lindsay is extremely talented. I just wonder what woul...

When was the last time Edina was 0-3? Has it ever happened?

Feel bad for that Edina D on the errant giveaway.

I just watched that play. #14 comes off the bench for the goalie, and she heads into the zone and cheapshots the Huskies player. No call by either ref. Then on the tie up goes after another player on the Huskies. There is no place in Minnesota Hockey for this. MSHSL, please do your due diligence and...

If we are talking about padding stats, then watch out next Thursday. Chanhassen plays host to Tonka. Chanhassen has been outscored 32-2 in 5 games and in last nights game Eden Prairie did not bother to shoot the puck in the 3rd period. If Tonka decides to, this could be a 20+ - 0 game. Add in the 1-...

How is Chaska ranked 6th? Didn't they lose both goalies, a transfer to Tonka and a few to juniors?
