Dub Cha: a shocking bit of context indeed, especially since Phil was D and had a few other things to worry about on the ice. (But in a way, you make my point earlier in this thread. MacKinnon was "virtually" Minnesota highschool, yes ? ) He played 2 years of Canadian Major Juniors (QMJHL ...

To put in perspective. Phil went from HS hockey in 1982, to scoring 66 pts. as a defensemen for the Buffalo Sabres. Recent Canadian Jr. players to make an impact as 18 year olds (all forwards): Patrick Kane (2008)- 72 pts. Steve Stamkos (2009)- 46 pts. John Tavares (2010)- 52 pts. Taylor Hall (2011)...

Anyone from Lakeville have an early indication on if R. Poehling sticks around or goes to play Jr's with his older brothers? Enebak, Johnson, and Edquist all looked ready for the USHL to me as well. Either way, Lakeville South and Farmington will be better next year and 1AA will be a lot tougher to ...

I would argue that Lakeville South has had the better overall hockey program over the course of the last decade. You're right about other sports though. North seems to be better across the board. Some possible factors: Maybe it has something to do that when the school's split, the old Lakeville HS b...

That 2nd goal by New Ulm (#17) was game highlight for me anyway. That single moment is why I'm here again this year, and every year. To the guys watching at home, what was your call on the goal waved off for NU - judged to be in net only after whistle? I think it was a good call but lots of angry f...

You can run your errands now. :lol: I'll give it another minute or so. Score and shots lead me to believe that the game is fairly competitive...? Wasn't expecting this tight of a game.... Are the stats misleading? 6-3 Mahtomedi. Shots 37-25. I would say those stats tell the story. Mahtomedi was muc...

Greatest Games 1995: Duluth East 5 Bloomington Jefferson 0. East was a fairly new power, as Rapids, Cloquet, and Hibbing had ruled section 7 for the past couple decades. Most people remember the 95' championship against Moorhead. I remember this one as Dave Spehar's coronation as the king of HS hock...

1 Lakeville North
2 Edina
3 St. Thomas
4 Blaine
5 Eden Prairie

I know the last 3 are random draws but if I could cherry pick the matchup's I would like to see on Thursday, Hill would get Edina to open the tourney, Duluth East gets STA, and Bemidji gets Lakeville North in prime time.

Hammer, I read your post about beating SSM prep team, checked the SSM website and saw that they beat SSM midget AA team. That is the #3 midget team. You have completely lost any credibility. Is the AA team not their prep team? Seriously not trying to mislead, thought their AAA team would be their s...

Some additions

A Prospects
Paul Bittner (Crookston/Portland, WHL)
Tom Novak (River Falls/STA/Waterloo, USHL)

B Prospects
Jesse Gabrielle played one (?) year for Eagan before going the Canadian Jr. Route.

C Prospects
Karson Kuhlman (Cloquet/Dubuque, USHL/UMD)
Matt Freytag (Wayzata/Tri-City, USHL)

I'd say it's more likely that Edina gets thrown back in with the current 6AA schools, being that they (or Chanhassen) are the closest geographically. 10 teams in 3AA, New Prague looming with an enrollment of 1123, Kennedy potentially going back to AA. Shift 1 or 2 into section 2AA and Edina likely g...

I've been following this post for a while now and I have a few questions. Why is SSM ineligible to play MSHSL? I believe a majority if not all of their players live on campus in Faribault MN, and the ones who do not, live in the surrounding areas. Also, I don't believe they have overage players, an...

2014 Edina vs Shattuck Prep...my money is on Edina...no question. You, I like. Somebody finally backs me up! DISCLAIMER: I don't eat cake. Disagree. Shattuck beats Edina 8 out of 10 times. Edina was the best team in MN, but their dominance was a product of upsets of the other top teams. To get to L...

Chase Perry, Andover/Wenatchee (NAHL) to Colorado College.
Mason Bergh, Eden Prairie/Chicago (USHL) to Colorado College.
Brandon Parker, Fairbault/Brookings (NAHL) to Alabama-Huntsville.

My comment about them not caring as much about the games against high school teams is not my opinion I am simply quoting one of their players, who was also the one that told me their top line sat on the bench the entire second and third period in their game against Benilde. Shattuck would win the s...

1. East 2. Rapids 3. Cloquet 4. Elk River? 5. STMA 6. Andover? 7. Forest Lake 8. St. Francis 9. Cambridge Elk River returns a lot of fire power and has a great Bantam team. If they have a decent goalie to replace Berglove they will be better than this year. How does Rapids future look? I'd like to ...

Agreed with everything you said except for the last sentence. If they would win it every year, easily, how does that explain them losing ANY of the handful of games they've played against STA, BSM, Breck, etc.? Couldn't you ask the same question of Edina this year? If they're good enough to allow o...

From @MNHocCoachAssn: @wildcatboys Mike Taylor and @LuverneHSHockey Derrick Brown named John Mariucci Award winners as Class AA and A coach of the year. SCC's Ron Brown and Centennial's Chris Johnson named state assistant coaches of the year. LeSeuer-Henderson and East Ridge are the Class A and AA ...

ass kicking last year by STA for sure and I believe Breck== anyway i know for sure STA was'nt trying and if they were it would have been running time (game at SSM) :wink: :wink: :wink: As a St Thomas fan who attended the game last year, to call that game an ass kicking is definitely false. Last yea...

Are they not part of the MSHSL? I assume it's because of their high playing level. You assume incorrectly. First of all, Edina would most likely beat their prep team 7 times out of ten. Second, the MSHSL has a lot of rules the SSM would not want to abide by because they would conflict with their bu...

Even though I am no fan of STA, when they play a school from a less affluent background, their section starts a ,"the wheels on your house go round' and round'!!" I have lived in a double wide and this still makes me laugh!! (Yes, I know most schools they play fall into this category) Sto...

Hermantown beat C-E-C 5 to 2 St Michael beat C-E-C 4 to 1 luverne tied st Michael 1 to 1 in a game that the cards carried most of the play Hermantown might have their hands full Using this logic... Luverne tied STMA 1-1 STMA lost to Rogers 5-2 Rogers lost to Hermantown 3-1 Soooooooo.... Hermantown ...

I think the X and Target Center are way too big for section games. It would kill the atmosphere. Even 2AA/6AA at its best was getting around 7,500 for a doubleheader, lately they have been around 5,000. Mariucci is really the only option left for doubleheaders, and that isn't the best atmosphere. I ...

Luverne could be the three seed folks. Talk about traditional hockeyminds exploding. I haven't seen Luverne play. Are you saying they are better than everyone but Hermantown and EGF entering the tournament, or you just want them seeded 3rd because they haven't lost? In which case, why not 1st? I'm ...
