Re: Coaching Changes 2024-25 - Official Thread

Two official coach change threads. Can they be merged?

Re: 2024 AA tourney

Legacy.Hockey is the official site for box scores and stats. That's not true. MSHSL records list closed schools separately. They don't even give Edina credit for the 3 state titles won by Edina East. I didn't say it was the official MSHSL records list. It's been the official stats repository for Bo...

Re: 2024 AA tourney

Bottom line...We should all be proud of what we have...Of course we want more...Of course things aren't always fair. Of course old farts like me want the "good ole days back." But for one week in March, every year, our cute little bubble we take for granted is on the eyes of millions of hockey fans...

Most boring?
Hands down, Chanhassen. 🙄
I love the gold pants and hope the program becomes a perennial power so the gold pants are a thing like Jefferson rockin' "Columbia" (baby) blue.

Re: Greatest Ever Upsets at State

The Hylanders from Columbia Heights, participating in the school's lone Tourney appearance in 1983 shocked the state of hockey defeating the defending State Champion Hornets of Edina in dramatic fashion 2-0 behind the superb goal tending of Reggie Miracle - that is still regarded today as one of th...

Re: 2024 AA tourney

Only long-suffering WBLers and their sympathizers will bring up Mariner. It was a separate high school, with a separate mascot, and a separate team that existed for a whopping 11 years. But if hanging onto Mariner's 'amazing' State tournament experience (which is, admittedly, more than the Bears ha...

Re: Biggest Section Upsets

I saw Zach Halvorson’s comment as well and realized he obviously doesn’t follow high school hockey closely.

There’s not a player in that game for either team that felt Chanhassen was less than a 3:2 underdog. The same kids played three times in the past year and Minnetonka never won in regulation.

Any chance HF could lure Noel Rahn back? Seems like that program has been in a tail spin since he left.
In 2022-23 the Fire was #8 rated AA team by PS2 and defeated eventual state runners-up Edina. I'm not seeing the tailspin.

By chance, did you announce the Maple Grove-Andover game last week? He used the term "full send" too and referenced the Nelk Boys (youtube pranksters). Oh my, and here I've been claiming Nelk Boys Full Send as an original! I use it once a game. Didn't do MG-Andover though so it wasn't me. Full send...
