Of course its up for grabs. Why even play the game if the "favorite" is going to win everytime? Last year the Spuds were favored to win the Whole Enchilada, but fell short. Prior to that the "unfavored" Rams, going arguably against the best Spud team ever, almost knocked them off...

Good points Renegade!<br><br>How will the goaltender be for the USA? I know the Warriors fire the puck as well as any boys team, so will that cause any problem for the Olympians? <br><br> I hope the boys win decisively! <p></p><i></i>

Keep RamHockey in your thoughts this Christmas. He is having health problems and I know we all wish him the best. Merry Christmas to you all and truly enjoy the hockey season as it is meant to be. <p></p><i></i>

SO???? The cost of running to the cities or the range to play single A teams is cheaper than traveling to the cities to play AA teams?? <br><br> Didn't Warroad make as many trips to the Metro area and the range this year as any AA school, outside of Moorhead? <br>Isn't the cost of staying in the Cit...

Rankings are for the Fans. They do not take into account rivalries or injured players during games. They produce discussion and emotion, but just that. The winners are proven on the ice. I like the rankings, but keep them in perspective. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p074.ezboard.com/bmnhs.sho...

Its hard to turn down the Rapids community and the great tournament they put on. It is deserving for them to get another crack at it as it will only get better.<br><br> Good Job Rapids!!! <p></p><i></i>

Great for the BSU program and a well deserving NCAA bid this year! <br><br> Is there any chance of BSU hosting the games inTRF at the Little Ralph? Is the distance for BSU to TRF about the same as to Grand Rapids? <p></p><i></i>

Moorhead will continue to be very good the next few years. Roseau has closed the gap and is getting back to being a "REAL" contender and not just #2 behind Moorhead.<br><br> Next year, Roseau could get the #1 seed, depending how the Spuds/ Rams series goes. <p></p><i></i>

#1 - The state screwed up when they allowed schools to move up or down to A or AA.<br><br>#2 - Teams that have been to the "SHOW" know what its like to play for one championship. <br><br>#3 - Warroad has been there and it puzzles fans why they settle for less! Really, we acknowledge the Cl...

Roseau not only has to knock off the #1 seed in the section, but arguably the #1 team in the state. For an unranked team to pull off the upset, would be remarkable to say the least. If both teams play to their potential, then the Spuds win! If the Spuds leave anything at home the Rams have a chance,...

The DNR has finally ruffled the feathers of too many outdoorsman. Not only hunters wanting to get back to favorite "hotspots", but outdoor enthusiasts that enjoy using the environment for various purposes.<br><br> You will see many Roseau, Warroad, Baudette, TRF people unified in letting t...

Damn the team! What is best for my kid is the best! So what if I take another dream from some other kid! As long as my kid gets his recognition. <br><br>I know not all have this attitude, but it is becoming prevalent in many areas. Hopefully through sound discussion we can see two sides to open enro...

Before open enrollment coaches and communities recognized talent from other teams. If there was a "missing link" from Indus, coaches from the area would specifically drop the name of the player to scouts and advise them to go see this kid in Indus, or anywhere else.<br><br> College coaches...

The Moorhead hockey community did a fantastic job of structuring their program into one of the best in the state. The players they have developed have won titles from <br>Peewees to Bantams and are hoping to do so with their high school team soon. The players that got "bumped" because of o...

Before open enrollment, that is exactly what the "good" players had to do, stay home and play with "inferior" players. Didn't seem to hurt too many careers back then! <p></p><i></i>

Those that think there is always next year are really misinformed. Whether you are a sophomore, junior or senior, missing on an opportunity to play for your "home" team in the state tournament and probably winning it, does not come every year.<br> Open enrollment is here, no denying that. ...

Thanks for your time on this! Very nicely done! <p></p><i></i>

Add me to the AA Right Wing Supremists. This topic was good when it started out, but it has turned into banter among 3-4 individuals. I believe the topic would die if those involved would not respond to their own comments, which has happened too often. <br><br>Time to move on to the final stretch of...

As we are all fans, rankings as I have mentioned in past years, is just to "spike" interest in us fans. Bragging rights so to speak. Is one ranking more reliable than another? I believe so, and I feel the respective teams ranked deserve to be in their positions. <br><br>That being said, ra...

When all the discussion about breaking up the Best High School Tournament in the Nation, one of the most sensible ideas that came up, but did not gather any momentum was to have schools play off as usual and take the section winner and the runner-up to the state tourney. <br>Section winners would pl...

Petey made the point as clear as possible. The only ones who feel this is "against the grain" are those who seem to have to justify the A/Tier II/B tournament as a championship tournament. It is, at best, a tournament of 2-3 very good teams that could possibly be the best teams in the stat...

I believe I grew up in the "golden years" of hockey. We had no squirt or peewee program. I did not "have" to go to the area for a 6:00 a.m. practice. I did not "have" to travel 100 miles on weekends to play in tournaments and get roughly 15 minutes of ice time for each ...

I Falls has produced may outstanding players throughout the history of highschool hockey. My vote would go to Tim Sheehy. A quality player who played on many Championship teams. <p></p><i></i>

One could argue that the best never to win a title would be any class A champion! <p></p><i></i>

My 2 cents. Rams were runner-up in '57, champs in '58,'59, undefeated in 60, but lost in semis of section, champs in '61. <p></p><i></i>
