Had this discussion over text a couple days ago. The case for mushing 7 & 8 together is there'll always be a northern team at state. Now the exurban areas can send St. M-A, Elk River, or someone else. Another way of looking at this is it wouldn't be like that if Hermantown opted up to AA. To be...

The best, most accurate system is to listen to ELLIOTT70 and do the opposite. Hey, at least your top four are unimpeachable! My eyes must be deteriorating fast in my older years since I almost missed your disclaimer. Ranking Class A teams this season is like repeatedly banging your head against the...

Your top four are an exact match for PageStat. We'll see how it looks when I publish the first ratings on Sunday. Lee This is Christmas come early news! I will be holding the Class A Rankings for 12/17/21 until this is published. PageStat is the best ranking to compare with when looking at computer...

Warroad wins 6 - 3 w/En goal I missed the first half of the game and will have to go back and rewatch it, but my general impression was that each team was who we thought they were, to paraphrase Dennis Green. The usual suspects drove the offense on both sides, and EGF’s goaltending and defense were...

Minneapolis vs Orono postponed

New Ulm has a challenging slate of games starting tomorrow: Hutch, Mound, then Fergus and DL at the Fergus tournament. I’m curious to see how they fare against better competition.

Thanks for the recaps. I didn’t get a chance to watch any hockey last night, but I will try to find a few replay streams if I can. Definitely a few surprising performances for ranked teams in there, both good and bad. That Fergus loss was rough given how down Brainerd is. They have yet to post a sig...

Do both Winona and Winona Cotter have hockey teams? The hockey hub says they and has each teams schedule up and posted. Both teams play different opponents tonight. The MSHSL, from what I can see, only has Cotter listed as a 1A team. The Big Nine has Winona listed and shows their scores. I’d be sur...

Great show, really enjoyed the interviews. Here is the poll that was mentioned that had Greenway in the top 10. It was LPH, whose polls we make fun of every week. Totino grace is even receiving votes still two years removed from moving to AA. Boys Class A Rankings as of Dec. 1, 2021 CLASS A RECORD L...

Over/under of about 3.5 goals total
It will still be a worthwhile watch between two good teams, don’t get me wrong, but unlikely to be many offensive fireworks.

Elliott and ClassAGuy, I agree, I think Alex will be there at the end with Fergus. I did my rankings just based off of games so far, and even the QRF is hard on the Cardinals, which it should be. (I know there are people that don't like the QRF, and I am not sure what the formula is, but as a math ...

Great work as always Stang I look forward to comparing notes with you weekly. Our Top 10 is the same but overall really good thoughts and notes. Most importantly I hope your Health issues go smooth and you can return quickly. I always look forward to your rankings and notes throughout the week. Be ...

I can’t wait to hear Tony and Danny on the podcast reacting to Chaska at #6 Not that there are any other great choices, mind you.

I am curious to see Elk River in the Edina Holiday Classic. Rather than being a speed bump as expected, they should match up well with EP and GR.

returning to Class A high school hockey seems like a big step down, even at Warroad. Great story whenever a player chooses MSHSL over something higher. The poobah at YHH was hoping to see a recent Minnesotan return to his HS program after two seasons with NTDP. I forgot to add this the other day =D...

A few notes ahead of the rankings: - I didn’t realize until I came here that I have the exact same top 8 as ClassAGuy - I am not at all confident in these rankings below about #12 - Lastly, a programming note: due to some health care issues (not actual health, I am generally fine), I likely won’t be...

Weird week for Spuds, who drop to 3-3

Royals have been very inconsistent

#1 Hermantown 4 Rosemount 3 after 2 periods No Zam in the lineup for the Hawks. Also Hawks might just want to got with the Duluth East kid as their main tender. For stretches it seems like Rosemount has been less interested in winning the game than beating up on Hermantown players. Opsahl played we...

#15 Minneapolis 4 #9 Alexandria 2 Final Good Road Win for Minneapolis they will move into the Class A Top 10 Mpls looked really good. I was impressed by their speed and ability to create unsettled situations. Alex may have come out a bit flat after the Little Falls loss, which is understandable, bu...

Minneapolis 2, Alexandria 0, end of 1 I was just going to post that score. Just found the live stream, so I didn’t catch the action. Minneapolis certainly seems to be the real deal coming off their dismantling of Providence. The stream is apparently done by one of the Mpls parents. Here is the link...

Notre Dame with two quick goals to start 3rd, now doubling up Gentry 6-3.

6-4 final
Gentry falls to the #3 team in Wisconsin. The Stars had won 21 straight. They will have to try to bounce back against top-ranked Hudson tomorrow.

Hermantown 2, Wayzata 1 is your final from Plymouth.

That was Hermantown’s best test to date, but Zam’s absence was noticeable. I didn’t think I saw him on the ice later in the game, but Westy (unfortunately) confirmed that suspicion.

Cambridge-Isanti 3, Monticello 0 in 3rd
Just when you thought it was safe to consider Monticello reliable.
