Andy Shriver will be the new head coach for the Alexandria Cardinals.

Does anyone have recommendations for skill camps and teams for a high school age girl who wants to greatly improve her skills over the spring and summer? She wouldn't qualify for elite teams. She lives in central MN.

[quote="royals dad"It is very cool that we will be able to get in a car and check out both this weekend! Would be even better if both play well and we get an in state sweep.[/quote]

Absolutely! Good luck to the Gopher's and the Gusties!

I've seen Grogan play. Have you watched Justice? She's amazing! She's a stands on her head to make a save goalie.

I agree with hansonbrother, I also think the boys high school game has become too physical. Alexandria has a large group of "Super Fans" that started many years ago watching the girls play hockey. It was started by one man who bragged up how good the team was and how much fun it was to wat...

[quote="royals dad"]Gophers have former Ms. Hockeys and the best female goalie in the world. quote]

Respectfully DISAGREE.

Anyone who watched Alexandria play in the 2008 State tournament will remember their goaltender who is now playing at Gustavus.

You can pre-purchase tickets for the Women's D3 tournament - $20/adult for an all sessions pass. Seniors and students are $10. If you can only attend Friday or Saturday it's $10/adult and $5 Seniors/students. http://gustavustickets.universitytickets.com/user_pages/category.asp?id=40 You'll need to l...

This subject = dead horse. Quit beating it. Agree to disagree.

Interesting that Alexandria is considered the underdog by most. Other than the obvious on-ice talent, I think it may have been forgotten that this year's Seniors, and a few others, were part of the 2008 State Championship team and the advantage that has. They won't be as nervous and awestruck as the...

Alexandria toppled Morris/Benson 3-1 tonight to return to the State Tournament games!

I think most players would rather play in the shadow of class AA than moving the tournament outstate where there would be much less fans. I agree with the first half of this statement, but not the second. You'd be surprised at how many fans fill outstate venues. People who live outside of the metro...

Yes, it was at Ridder before the move to the Excel. The move was driven by lawsuits filed by some hockey parents. Don't know for sure but heard that the plaintiffs kids never made it to State so it is kind of an interesting twist. Ridder was a great venue since it was packed to the rafters. I took ...

I don't believe any site has all the individual stats but the MGHCA is the most complete and accurate as it is done by the coaches. http://mghca.com/test/index.php Another good site: http://www.minnesota-scores.net/teams.php?yid=0809&sport=110 ____________________________________________________...

All-State and All-State honorable mention awards were issued today at the Lets Play Hockey Banquet. It was an unbelievably talented junior class. Does anyone know where or if this list gets published? If my short term memory loss wasn't so bad I would start the list myself :? It will be in Let's Pl...

Congratulations to Becky Kortum for being honored with Ms. Hockey. Who has won the Senior Goalie award?

Hey Pond make sure to put in the survey how it felt to see all of the empty seats. That would be a bummer for them and they probably would frown. Granted the locker rooms are great and the score board is cool and it is something that they can tell their children someday but would it be bad if somed...

Why not move the girls tourney to the Metrodome? If they want empty seats, we can give them a hell of a lot of empty seats. I have attended the girls tourney at Ridder and genuinely felt excited watching the game. However, watching a girls regular season game at the local arena with 50 parents bein...

Ridder was built for womens hockey...Girls should play where teams at their genders highest level play and that is Ridder Arena. Girls in Minnesota should want to grow up and want to play their college hockey there. Worst case scenario they could play there as visitors. The atmosphere was outstandi...

Just throwing this out there for discussion - could the lower attendance be due to unequal teams playing each other? A lot of the scores this year didn't indicate exciting hockey.

Btw, last year when our team played at the Big Tourney we had 5 full fan buses organized by the parents.

It must have been frustrating for Sartel the first two periods when Alex could do no wrong. Everything went our way. But there is no excuse nor will ther ever be for the way Sartel played in the third period. The Hanson brothers film was a comedy act not a coaching tool. To watch his boys play like ...

Are today's games being broadcast on any radio stations for those on the road?

Anyone know the attendance figures for yesterdays morning and evening sessions? According to the MSHSL.ORG box scores, the "A" early session attendance was 1828, and the evening session 1949. AA attendance today (Thursday) 3396 for the early session and no numbers on the evening session b...

we went to the tournament on wednesday. brought back a program. i'll try to get it to you this week. nice article on last years champs.

Thank you!

2) Warroad has played more games than they are supposed to . MSHSL has a mandated number of 25 games. No more. Warroad has played 26. One with Detroit Lakes . By any account, that should be grounds for disqualification.future, Really?!! Warroad "played" Detroit Lakes and YOU have a proble...

Warroad ekes out a 12-0 win over hapless Hutchinson in Game 1, so all 21 contestants pick up a point. nuetralregroup came closest on the score, having predicted 9-0. It sounds like the second game is much more interesting, with Fergus Falls holding a 2-1 lead after two periods. It was a little surp...
