Although it's fair to point out the number of ICU beds occupied by Covid as that provides proper context to that specific issue, and yes, the initial lockdowns were done in part to keep hospital systems from being overwhelmed, as well as build up PPE and ICU beds, the main reason you "lock down...

Why was Cloquet shut down? Positive cases related to a game? Community spread? Symptomatic players? Without context your charge is like yelling fire in a crowded theater. That is your Modus Operandi though of course. It was symptomatic players with spreading within the two teams. Based on the lengt...

Hunter, we can care about older people dying and still work to live our lives. Are you an advocate for eliminating automobiles too? 50,000 people a year die from car accidents that wouldn't happen if we outlawed autos! Don't those lives matter? Where's your BAN CARS NOW movement? Is that on a diffe...

WOM and Hunter win. My inside source says all schools will be shut down in a week or two. Walz will also shut down bars and restaurants. Your local YMCA and gyms closed also. Sad deal Wolfy... Trust me when I say I hope beyond all hope that you are wrong. And...if you aren't, I sure as hell don't c...

New ground-breaking study from the Univ. of Wisconsin School of Medicine shows that participation in High School Sports does not lead to an increase in COVID-19 risk. https://www.wissports.net/news_article/show/1129136-uw-study-results-suggest-participation-in-high-school-sports-is-not-associated-w...

USA hockey Tier 3 is playing 40-50 game schedule. The Rochester Grizzlies play 8 games in October and have 8 scheduled in November so far. Good gracious why play 18 games in high school when you can 50 in Tier 3? My initial response was going to be that the Tier 3 has legal adults (18+) playing, bu...

This looks article tells the story!! PCR rates of 42 (what i understand the standard to be in MN) is useless! You can find nearly anything that has ever existed on the planet within a fragment of a persons RNA with a 42 PCR. It politicizes everything! Why? Because when a vaccine is developed, they ...

https://www.startribune.com/minnesota-soccer-parents-trying-to-organize-state-tournament-after-mshsl-won-t/572840052/ I'm much more in favor of hastily assembled "state tourneys" for outdoor fall sports than I am in favor of indoor November "bridge" leagues. I would argue both a...

Yet 5 weeks into high school football there has not been outbreak associated to football games. Go to your bunker and stay there until you die. COVID-19 is endemic like Influenza, not just a pandemic. Much harsher but it will not go away like Smallpox with a vaccine. Yes there have been. They just ...

"We killed our elderly by secluding them" The same people who say this also say "let us live our lives and we'll just have to protect the elderly since it affects that age group at an exponentially higher rate". I'm sorry, you can't have it both ways. My neighbor who works in co...

Sid Hartmans son Chad Hartman: “I want to make it clear — he didn’t die from COVID — but COVID took away the enjoyment from his life by making him stay home,” his son said later. “It took away the chance to see the people he liked. It took away his zest, not being able to go four, five different pl...

Another great write up on the topic. Common sense, and good use of reason. A great way to tick everyone off these days. "Pipes" and "Schotzy"... thank you for sharing those articles. Both very well written. Despite the perceptions some have about what I've written here over the ...

And I say that as the parent of two players who, at this point anyway, truly seem to enjoy the game.

Its too bad that some of these school districts are overreacting based on cases. Cases do not equal crisis, the most common test (PCR) is very flawed in that it shows if an individual has ever had the virus in their system, and not if they currently have the virus, which is highly inflating case nu...

.....there would be very little loss in development if we just did in house practices and cross-ice/half-ice 3 on 3 leagues for a single year. There might actually be an increase in actual individual skill development. Think of all the power skating we could do. You'd have significantly more puck t...

In WOM defense. He’s posting stats to support his thoughts. Most posts are just “let the kids play” cause we can’t live in a shell. I don’t look at that as him being a fool Dog. Just seems to me that the way of the world is trashing somebody cause they don’t agree . That is the world in which we ar...

If colleges in the state can bring kids in from anywhere and everywhere in the country I don’t think a hockey tournament is an issue causing a breaking point here. There isn’t a whole lot of consistency going on. Agreed that there is little consistency in how we are approaching this in our 50 diffe...

Wise Old Man..... You now have swung and missed on Big Ten Hockey and MN Hockey bridge season. At least admit you are guessing! You have no inside knowledge and are posting as if you do. There is a simple term....IMHO, it means “in my humble oponion”. Maybe learn you are not the judge and jury of h...

Truly not trying to get anyone going. Since Elliott forwarded on his info, I figured I'd see what else might have occurred. So, posting links to articles I found specific to hockey that all can choose to read or not. Here's a link to an article regarding an outbreak on a QMJHL team... https://www.ya...
