Not whining pan. Please realize that the MSHSL is very clear in what programs need to provide for compliance. Booster money can be used, but in the end it is the school districts responsibility. Sponsors are sometimes harder to come by for girls programs, that's why it is clear that funding comes fr...

No Froggy, by public I meant not their own- you know... the kind you get when you book ice. We will have our own next year, but it seems that like other programs the boys rooms are far superior to the girls. The MSHSL handbook on title IX is clear about locker room equality...even in amenities.We ju...

Curious what different teams have for their girl's locker rooms. Is it comparable to the boys? Does JV have their own? Co-ops, do you share costs on improvements? Reason...up here in the Hinder-lands our program is just beginning to get our own locker rooms after 16 years of existstance. We have had...

I think it's great they got it together - more options. The added bonus is that it might force Duluth to start
meeting expectations...

You forgot about Marshall. They now officially have a HS team and are part of the Lake Superior Conference along with Proctor/Hermantown, Duluth, Cloquet and Superior. I don't think they will be playing Varsity this year- just JV.

I can see not much has changed since last year. Pepper- there is no cookie cutter answer to any of the this. My daughter attended the WCS tryout (as a goalie) several years ago just to have the experience...it was a great time seeing the different kids from outside MN. She was asked to go to Europe ...

The Northern Wings does not have a Tier 1 team on the girls side. You are probably thinking of the boys.

You'd have a hard time arguing that the '82 Edina team wasn't the greatest of all time. The best of East and West Edina joined together for one team. I think it still holds the record for the team with the most draft picks?

Totally agree Wolfman. The Xcel does nothing to enhance the experience. I would even suggest switching locations every other year between Ridder and Amsoil. Amsoil is a fantastic venue for the tourney, and I'm not sure anyone could argue with a better setting than Duluth. I know it's a stretch, but ...

Bob Bruce's contempt of Edina was an annoyance for several years when he was in the booth. We wished him away, and now he is far from the land of hockey...

]quote]That is interesting, When you say Cliff note, is that a Cliff Cleven note?[/quote] Exactly Al. Worthless info that may, or may not be true. With that in mind Never , Cambridge Blue Jackets harken from Weyapiersenwah who was a war chief of the Shawnee people, known for his militant defense of ...

Ever wonder why Duluth has a Greyhound and Hibbing has an anchor? A Cliff note in jersey history- Duluth's Greyhound was originally supposed to be Hibbing's mascot- home of Greyhound Bus (same logo). The Bluejackets was meant to be Duluth's- paying homage to the worlds largest inland port and its se...

With all of the hoopla directed at the Ms. Hockey award, I thought it would be good to give a shout out to the young ladies that won the Herb Brooks Award. This award exemplifies the values, characteristics, and traits that defined Herb Brooks. Quite an honor in the State of Hockey. A hearty congrat...

MN Hockey operates much like an upside-down pyramid in that the power, in this case, falls in the lap of associations. USA Hockey won't recognize a MN Tier program without MH's blessing. If an association views it as a threat, it won't go anywhere at MH. It's pretty clever the way they have it order...

Marshall was a MH approved Tier1 program, although it was a dogfight to get the affiliate agreement in place. Duluth is a wonderful hockey town that easily attracted girls to move there and attend a quality prep school. It didn't work out for reasons having nothing to do with the model or numbers. I...

Love the Mirage support! Three teams representing the hinterland in this years tourney. I'm afraid Roseau drew the short straw though. Good luck to all the girls, and postive vibes to the Mirage!

CP drives a Beamer?! Why not American? That's the dirt! Come on Pepper, let it rip! Unless of course NTMH issjust tirring the "pot" and he really doesn't know what he drives...

Never, I think the odds of Duluth having a second public HS team is about as likely as you and Pepper taking a yoga class together. Duluth won't even accept kids who go to local charter schools because they "compete" for state dollars. Girls hockey is considered a obligatory nuisance by ma...

Never, you could argue that it was a pivotal season for Duluth, coming off of a mass mutiny. I won't find fault in the old coach as all of the info on what happened is purely rumor. I also don't like mutiny. That being said, it was a year that needed a glimmer of hope that winning ways would return....

I'm an air-head. Of course Denfeld. They are the only ones playing everyone currently. Maybe Superior to round it out to six?

While sitting around the rink the other night, the perennial "what-if" question came up. What if the powers-that-be allowed a game between East and Hermantown, or Marshall? Throw Cloquet into that mix. These teams have as much of a rich history as any other part of the state, but due to th...

Extremely disappointed Reilly Fawcett wasn't in the mix. Top points leader in the north, consistently at the top for several years, D1 recruit to Bemidji, leader on and off the ice, etc. Do players from the north need an advocate on the voting panel in order to be considered?

Proctor Hermantown Mirage beats Duluth 2-1 in OT to capture Lake Superior conference.
