Re: Pre-season rankings

:shock: Oops. I don’t have the breakdown book in front of me, so not sure which is right, but not my best editing.

Re: Pre-season rankings

If you’ve got a team in mind in particular, you could check the team Insta or Twitter. Otherwise the Hub.

Re: Pre-season rankings

Thanks! As you said, all just pre-amble to the two super-teams clashing. Also, I'm not sure it's a great breakdown - the top line scoring as a starting point is a bit flimsy, but I think it got to a list that made sense to me. Regardless, it will be fun to cheer them on!

Re: Ms. Hockey 2023

Very long note, some of you don’t like my comments - feel free to ignore! Also, hockey is a team game, and I’m personally most excited to watch team results this year. I will throw out my thoughts on teams I expect to do well in a separate note. That said, Breakdown and YHH have recently come out wi...

High school scrimmages

Tryouts/practices underway! Anyone have info on scrimmage schedules? Not always much info out of scrimmages - but fun chance to watch some early competition. Edina, Wayzata, Stillwater, Blake, Farmington, Delano at PIC on Saturday. Anover, Apple Valley, Blaine and Tonka also playing Saturday. Others?

Re: Elite league '22

That is true for some. Attendance is mixed, with a few kids consistently missing. But I didn’t see any games at all where it looked like any kids were mailing it in. When they played, most played hard. If that weren’t the case being committed would be the peak of their hockey careers - there’s no fu...

Re: Elite league '22

Elite league wraps tomorrow with state championship games between MSP and SSM 16, and Empowers and SSM Prep (both at Shattuck). Auto-bids to the national championship are awarded to the winner of those games. MSP earned the right to play in that game with an overall record of: 15-3-7 - only losses t...

Re: Schedule released

Love some activity here! That said, Andover jumping into the deep end of the local municipal pool... fortunately for them they are a great white shark. This Edina is not "Edina." Sami is a great coach. Uma is fantastic and might keep Edina in the game. Maybe. Edina (and the players whose point total...

Re: Elite league '22

I goofed on the schedule. Looks like Tradition doesn't play again until Sunday. Also, though it's not on the elite league website, SSM Prep plays Durham West tomorrow night - available on hockeytv.com (with all of the games at Shattuck). And the aforementioned Michigan, btw: https://drive.google.com...

Hockey commit rates by class

Fascinating analysis looking at the last few years. '23 and '24 classes not quite as bad as it looks from that second graph, because of the rule change, but yikes. The NCAA decided to make a bunch of fifth year seniors feel slightly better about the impact of COVID, and nuked the college prospects f...

Re: Elite league '22

Good weekend of hockey up in Duluth, but SSM played the spoilers with convincing wins over: - Tradition (5-1, but with all 5 goals scored in the second half against a sub goalie, and a full line of sub skaters - impressive first half shutout of SSM by Blair) - Empowers (4-0, with all 4 goals scored ...

Re: Elite league '22

That's great commentary! I was there as well, and it was a fun, tight game to watch. It looked like both teams had some absences, and Empowers had at least a few subs (goalie and 2 D). One negative of the elite league is the varying level of seriousness with which the girls take it. Fun should alway...

I'm grateful to Beau for his tweet today - advocating for coverage by the elite leauge of the girls side. I think it's under totally separate leadership, but it's a bad look. With respect to game play, Empowers Performance has made an opening statement with a 3-0 stretch and wins over Tradition, Nor...

Elite league '22

Some interesting story-lines - one that caught my eye: Durham West comes to town in two weeks to play Shattuck, Empowers, Windy City (former CYA), and... St. Cloud State in an exhibition. That should be an interesting relative measure of where the top elite league teams are. Games start tonight at F...

Sad update - she (Sandberg) is hurt and won't play this season.
Injuries suck. That is too bad - great skater and tons of compete. She is extremely young in the senior class - hopefully she rehabs, finds a place to play next year as a PG, and goes on to a great college career.

Elite League rosters show Rylee Bartz and Alexis Kirkeby, probably North Dakota’s two best players, playing at Warroad this year.
I feel like Warroad is almost there to win at single A - maybe one more piece and they should be good.
