Re: The Hermantown Thread

HAHA this is so true, that old head coach was all unhinged when STA was in single A. =D> :lol: Comparing a public school to a private school is just ridiculous. I completely agree with this. Someone tried to compare St. Cloud Cathedral to Hermantown earlier. It's night and day. The player pool that...

Re: The Hermantown Thread

I guess there are buses leaving early and fanning out throughout the area every morning to pick up only good hockey players. They looked really hard and found 34 players to try out this year. I hear they somehow have this huge metropolitan area of 150000 people to choose from. Here it is folks, thi...

Re: The Hermantown Thread

Of course this "Hermantown rule" would effect others. Mahtomedi comes to mind. And how would they handle private schools such as St. Cloud Cathedral with kids coming from multiple associations. It is a complex question. If - when Hermantown moves up will the fault shift to Denfeld? St. Cl...

Re: The Hermantown Thread

Here's a thought... All Section 7A teams should drop Hermantown from their regular season schedule, so they have to pick up 8 or so games throughout the year. They can keep traveling to the Cities to play those AA games they do throughout their entire youth seasons. 7A teams need to band together a...

Re: The Hermantown Thread

I truly do hope they move up because it’s in the best interest of their PLAYERS. If this wasn’t the case, I wouldn’t give 2 rips about this entire FUBAR situation. But it’s like the old saying “a little bit of knowledge can be dangerous” and that’s evidently the case with their school administrator...

Re: Brainerd vs Duluth East

Herm 6-2 over Brainard. Shots 38-24. Looks like the only team North of Hinckley that could beat Andover is HT.
Hopefully next year.

Re: The Hermantown Thread

So punish the communities that want to play in the real tournament? Isn't that a little counter intuitive to what people are wanting here? Jeffy and Rainer's teams will still never go to state. Not to mention DE, Moorhead, and Brainerd will be about the only "Northern" teams left. I guess...

Odds look pretty good that Greenway is going to get two more kids moving in. Will know for sure about one of them later this week. I have mixed feelings about this. Certainly want Greenway to be a great team but it doesn't feel quite right to get all of these "imports". Unfortunately that...

Fun fact rainman/jeffy do some research on Orono. Ultra rich suburb of a real metro area with a population less than Hermantown and a school size almost double at about 1,000. Orono is on The N end if lake Minnetonka and has the highest per capital income of any town with a hockey program in Mn at a...

That is awesome! Hermantown hockey deserves a nice place to call home Hermantown is working on it. But it is a tough project for such a small town without a lot of resources. Didn't they just build a new school there? I suspect (but don't know) that getting another tax increase to build a new facil...

Now we have Hermantown doing same thing and the Wolfman don’t like it. I kind of like a team to hate more then any other so...

Turned off of participating on this board by jeffy is what I gather. Mentioned in his last post. Can't say as I blame him. No Herm out here except me and I'm about to go.

For all the people "who know people" and have the "inside scoop", this question keeps getting ignored. Ask for proof and they scatter like mice. Until specific examples are brought out, I am going to assume we have all been played the past 5 years. Why won't any Herm fan answer ...

Rainier and Jeffy neither of you know diddly squat about the Hermantown Community or Hockey program. As a matter of fact, I don’t think you have the slightest idea what the word community even means and that is pretty sad actually.

Why didn't their families move to Coleraine, or TRF, or I-falls? Because it's not a large metro area, which makes it orders of magnitude easier for families to move there and find employment. Also, the examples you gave, East and Marshall, are AA. Myself, and most people, understand that open enrol...

Gotz and Watkins arrived as Pee Wees. Take them off this year's team and Hermantown drops significantly. But not open enrollees. Moved to Duluth area for Dad's jobs and moved into Hermantown.

As much as I think that all private schools should play AA, I think it would be hilarious if Marshall moved to A when Herm goes to AA. The look on Jeffy and rain man's face would be priceless. Their recent love for Marshall would fade real fast.
