Rumor I hear is that he is coming back to Rosemount, not happy at Shattuck, I can not confirm though.

Re: AA Preseason Rankings 2018-2019

Rosemount could be in the tournament conversation for the next several years providing the ton of bantam talent coming up sticks around to play for the Irish. Strammel, Hendrickson, Peterson, Whitelaw and Levondoski are all very talented and as mentioned by Karl they already have Gopher recruit Raht...

I happened to catch this exchange at the game as it was happening and it was a truly unique thing to see. Was awesome to see that the Centennial goalie Allen could still enjoy himself in his last game as a senior and down 6-0 for a light hearted moment. It was a nice reminder that despite being oppo...

Tourney Plans

Well whats everybody got planned for the tournament, will you be a couch potato, watching every deke and dangle in the comfort of home or the local tavern or will you be making your annual trip to the X to watch in person? Where will you eat or grab some suds between games? I will start off, I will ...

Re: HappyHockeyFan stinks

HappyHockeyFan's system in rankings is a joke. He has CEC rated top 10 at the end of the year. They get beat by GR last game of season and then bow out to a number #5 seed the first round of playoffs. A number #5 seed! The last two games were not even close. They went down 3 - 0 in both games. Ok, ...

Yes it nudged them ahead of Centennial just like Hill-Murray's win over White Bear Lake nudged them over Lakeville North.

Class AA 2 - Minnetonka 7 - Hill-Murray 3 - St Thomas Academy 6 - Centennial 1 - Edina 8 - Lakeville North 4 - Duluth East 5 - STMA Realistically they probably give Tonka the #1 seed because they won't want the possibility of a St Thomas/Edina Championship which would deflate tickets sales BIG time...

Just 5 years ago STMA lost 15-0 in the section 7AA quarterfinals to Duluth East. It's amazing how quickly this program has become so competitive. I can't think of any other program that burst onto the scene in such a short period of time. Centennial in the early 2000's maybe? Congrats to the Knight...

The Simley boys are on a mission, Mahtomedi beware, the last time Simley made the Class A tournament in 2003 they beat a highly ranked Mahtomedi team in the section final and went on to play in the Championship game against Warroad and T.J. Oshie, losing a close game.

Let it go Happy, they were clearly a top 20 team. I guess me and my rankings formula didn't see it that way. And another loss to a top twenty team proved it. In my view that means your formula is off, interesting how all of the other "rankers" have them in top 20 but you don't, thus someh...

I don't know why but I honestly think that Duluth East is not gonna come out of this section.. While it looks cool how smooth they are, when it comes to finishing the puck, playing the body, and point presence in the offensive zone they are far from a state bound team.

You don’t think they beat Eden Prairie or Hill-Murray. The rest of us recognize OT wins. Ok, give them the EP win, that still only makes them 2-6 against ranked teams, and Hill isn't ranked. I think coming into the season it was thought that ER was going to be a top team, it hasn't panned out that ...
