Rock Ridge downs Forest Lake 4-3 in 7AA. GWG scored 20 seconds into the 4th OT. Rock Ridge advances to play Grand Rapids.

Hermantown beats Rock Ridge 3-1 with a late empty netter. Hermantown was not as dominant as I expected. If RR could've avoided a 2 1/2 minute stretch of scrambling play at the end of the second period when Hermantown scored both of their 5 on 5 goals, they could have won. Side note... Only one penal...

Tough break for Virginia that two top upperclassmen forwards transferred to Eveleth, otherwise the Devils would be right on Denfeld's heels. I guess those two players just couldn't wait for the merger... :D And those two scored both of Eveleth's goals tonight in their 2-2 tie against Virginia. Virg...

1-HTOWN 2-DHS 3-GREENWAY 4-EVELETH 5-VIRGINIA 6-N-SHORE 7-I-FALLS 8-HIBBING 9-PROCTOR 10-ELY Wow. Eveleth over Virginia is a surprise, plus Hibbing seems low as the 8th seed. Granted, I would give Hibbing extra points for how well they have played the last few weeks. Officially, Virginia is the #4 ...

According to MN Hockey Hub, four of the players puckranger lists have been in all 17 games and two others have been in 16 games. Injuries happen. Except for Hermantown, no team in this section is very deep. Every team has kids playing hurt right now. I wouldn't trust the Hub's game play count. I kn...

Virginia -The most perplexing team to me. I just plain thought they would be better than they are. I thought they had enough A-/B+ level players to be in the #8-12 range in Class A, but their lack of a true A stud seems to limit them. I can unravel some of the perplexity for you... Virginia's probl...

If I'm Virginia, I'm pretty happy with how the Greenway game went. To me, it was clear the Raiders were the more talented team, but Virginia hung back, crowded in around their goalie, and waited to pounce on turnovers, which is how they got both their goals. Kreibich was very good in nets and kept ...

Maybe after Plante retires and a couple of other schools win championships people will stop complaining about Hermantown. The complaining won't stop until they play in AA. I have always been an avid Hermantown supporter when it came to the tourney, but that began to fade last year. This is the firs...

Rapids overcomes a 5-3 3rd period deficit and scores with 6 seconds left to upend Duluth East 6-5.

Two things:

1) Does International Falls get to play?

2) There is already a topic on this HERE.

They should be good for a few years as their Bantam team is also good this year. They beat Rapids AA team and lost to Hermantown AA by two. Looks like another dry spell after that though. Their PeeWee A team beat Duluth East a couple of weeks ago for their first win this year. I heard it was their ...

It seems like you just quoted me and responded to what you want me to have said, or something along those lines. I'm agreeing that Virginia is better than their record shows, for many of the reasons you are bringing up, and using their schedule as a big example of how you can't just take one game t...

Hub is showing Hermantown with a 2-1 lead over Virginia after 2. Shots 29-10 Herm. There's a period to go, but Virginia once again hanging tough with one of thee top 3 in 7A. They hung tough until the last 9 minutes or so... Hermantown put the screws down after Virginia had a couple good chances to...

Virginia is a good example of how important it is to a) look at more than one game schedule and b) that the result of the game does ultimately matter. Are they just as good as Eveleth or International Falls? Are they 1 goal worse than Hibbing, Eagan, Warroad and Greenway? Or maybe they're way worse...

PR, I realize you're not making a case for them to be a top-ten team, and I agree with much of what you've said. I was originally responding to Howard asking who wants to play Virginia. I'd say almost half the state would based on where they're ranked as of the last PageStat rankings at #70 (out of...

I looked at Virginia's schedule before responding. Not impressed. OK.... not sure what it may take to impress you. Literally half of their games are against top 20 teams... :?: Saying they'd have a respectable record if they had scored another half a dozen goals... Ummm, ok? I'm not saying that... ...

Who wants to play Virginia right now? Hmmmmm. So 5 quality teams in this section. Not 3. All quality wins no matter the scores But please, try to use a little bit of perspective. Did you really ask who wants to play Virginia? Citing a team with a losing record against average competition as to how ...

Westerholm was not mentioned as he struggled to say the least early in the year and is today making the biggest impact in 7a "To say the least"? :shock: I disagree with that entirely... not even a hint of reality in that statement. Westerholm has not struggled at any point this season. He...

The Greenway-Virginia game was a great one. Through the first two periods, the Raiders spent so much time in the Virginia zone I believe they may have actually obtained squatter's rights. Westerholm for Virginia was outstanding as usual and Seitz continues to be a crafty, opportunistic scorer; thes...

Where is PuckRanger? I'd sure appreciate some insight into Virgina's season so far. Their best players are sophomores, and their bantam teams appears to be very solid, so in a year or two they should be back in the top 3-4 7A teams. Come back, PuckRanger! Haven't gone anywhere, rainier... You've do...

He was injured.
