The problem with having 11 teams in each A section is it only leaves 56 teams (assuming more contraction doesn't occur!) in AA. The State League would obviously not allow that, be it right or wrong.

Re: 2024 AA tourney
I think what some people are saying is the rich are getting richer. We can agree or disagree but those that can and will recruit are going to have a huge advantage over the rest of the teams who can't or won't. But we all have to admit Minnesota HS hockey is in a transition from what used to be a z...

This isn't the first time Hermantown has beaten Mahtomedi 7-6 in overtime at State. They also did it in the 2010 Class A semifinals

Re: A Rankings for 2/4/24
Only 6 class A games for CEC all year? Bonkers. I wonder if that's due to the transition from AA to A, or are they planning on out-Hermantowning Hermantown as far as playing a AA-heavy schedule every year? And when was the last regular season Hermantown finished with so few wins? Even if they win t...
