here is a different idea Relocate to Massachusetts instead, they have over 200 high school boy teams. During their season, they can play both high school and tier1/aaa. In the last 10 years of NCAA D-1 hockey, only 29 Mn kids out of 267 rostered kids have been on a national championship team Mass h...

Good news is, this team could be coached by someone like you and still make a heckuva run to the state tournament. I probably could coach this team to a state tournament berth in Section 3A. Any other section they would be an also ran and Scotty Bowman couldn't change that fact! Whats an "also...

As far as high school play,it would probably be Pat White. 2 sate tournaments and a 1st round draft pick the summer after he graduated. Many possible mentions from the seventies played in 3 state tourneys, although most also had more D1 talent on the ice with them than White. Then again, I think it...

Outside of last years 5-0 drubbing at the IRA, these two have been fairly consistently putting out 2-1 affairs - of course East being the one on top. Can't argue with another one of these, given GR's inability to get over the mental wall of beating East. So... yeah... East 2-1.

Rapids was pouring on the goals when they had Mattson, Adams, and Bischoff on the same line... That line put up huge points against unranked opponents in first four games. Then came Warroad, Marshall, and LN before the line changes. I would presume the switching of lines was in hopes of creating mo...
