Is Breck the best team in the state?

[Goldy Gopher]

What's the enrollment at Shattuck? Maybe they should jump into the Class A tourney if their numbers are right?

Same logic for Breck right?

SSM - 435 students, their prep team has 2 kids from MN.

You wanna talk about logic ?????

Breck - recruits from MN

Shattuck - recruits from 50 states.

And internationally as well.

Topic should read, "Breck, The Best Class A Team" which than I will 100% agree with.

You have the state hockey tournament for a reason to crown the best team in state depending on their class.

Breck for class A

Edina for class AA

Tonka may have been for the season, but had all Swedish and no Finish.

Until they combine the two classes or Breck decides to move up to AA no one team will ever really be the BEST team in state.

[grandmeadowhockeyfan]

Breck sure gives up a lot of shots on net to be considered a good defense. They gave up a lot of chances and if it wasnt for the goalie they may have never made it to Saturday. MInnetonka may have lost but they made their opponents work really hard for shots on net. Think about it.

As could Hermantown and their undefeated season in 2006 I believe.

Breck was VERY talented in 2004 when they won the title

Also, Warroad in 2003 (could have very well beat the AA champs that year, Anoka) and their undefeated team in 2005 that tied Moorhead, who lost in the AA title game, could have made a case for best team in the state at that moment in time after the state tourneys.

[masterB]

This is a joke right, there is no way breck would even compete day in day out with AA teams. The reason they are A is that they know they would not even make the AA tournament. A Class hockey is a joke one or two good teams, the rest would not make the top 40 in AA. So you beat #39 and # 38 in state, and you are in the championship of Class A. WOW!!!

STEP UP OR SHUT UP BRECK

OK. Over the past 3 years the Breck team (the team has been virtually the same all three years) has Scrimmage Victories in 2008 over Minnetonka, Apple Valley, Moorhead twice and Burnsville. They lost to Hill. In 2009 they had 2 victories over Moorhead, Champlin Park and tied Benilde. They also beat Wayzata, Duluth East, Stillwater and Lakeville South in the Scwann's Cup the past two years. So I would say that their record against elite AA schools is pretty good. Throw in victories against an undeafeted Little Falls team and Warroad at State last year and Warroad and Hermantown this year and I think a logical person could conclude that they are a top team in the State these past couple of years.

As for are they the best? No way of really telling.

And for those of you that say they or any class A team can't be the top team because they don't play in AA is ridiculous. That stupid line of thought would mean that whoever you think is the best team in the State this year, be it Edina, Minnetoka, Hill or Shattuck, if they played in Class A they then would be disqualified.

The bottom line is the best team in the state is the best team regardless of what class they play in. My vote is that Shattuck is the best and Edina, Minnetonka, Hill and Breck are the next best in some order.

Oh, and Mule, They did try to schedule Hill this year but Hill either didn't have an opening or they chose not to. They also tried to get a game with Eden Prairie.

One thing I've been wondering is what if Edina's school enrollment was only 700 kids but had the same team. If they played class A would people still consider them the top team? What if they would have still beat Minnetonka in the regular season? Do you think they would bother opting up to AA? I for one think it's ridiculous to judge a team by the number of A's by their tourny instead of their product on the ice.

Let me throw out another hypothetical scenario. Let's say in one year both Roseau and Warroad won their respective state tournaments. Even if during the regular season Warroad would beat Roseau both times they played people would still say Roseau is the best team in state even though they got beat by the top A team simply because of the tournament they play in. That makes no sense at all.

Finally, Breck had one hell of a team this year, but I don't think they were the best in the state. Call me crazy but I thought they played better last year although I'll admit I only get to see their state games.

I would love to see the scenario of both Roseau and WR as state champs with Warroad winning in the regular season or even a split regular season. Would the A bashers keep to their illogical line of thinking and automatically crown Roseau the "best in state" in this scenario just because of class? probably.

We will never know who the best team is? Give me a break! Breck and Edina had one common opponent....St Louis Park 8-0 for Breck late in the season right before playoffs. That must have been their big tune up game. Edina 17 -0 and the players were dumping the puck after the 1st period. Edina could have put up a couple more touchdowns!

comparing single games against common opponents is one of the most illogical arguments ever. according to your logic, common opponent between Lakeville N and Edina: Chaska Chanhassan. Edina wins in a tight game 3-1. Lakeville N blows them away 8-1 and is dumping the puck after the 1st period. It is safe to assume Lakeville N is at least 2.5x as great as Edina. Good argument. Wayzata beat this common opponent 6-1 as well as Edina twice. I guess that makes Wayzata probably , what 6 times better then Edina?

Edina would beat Breck by a touchdown!

[chiefofmedicine]

you AA people are so ridiculous. get over yourselves. the A championship game this year was 10 times better hockey than that boring AA game. and that supposed "classic" between HM and Tonka in the semi's was the most boring uninspiring piece of hockey i have ever seen. Hermantown vs mathomedi, that was a classic. Breck is an amazing team, get over it. shut up about schedules and all that non sense. AA is not for the big boys, its for schools with larger enrollments. i hate the two class system because of people like all of you who bash the A schools. its should be one class, but i bet if that were the case you guys would find somethign else to complain about and say how Breck is at an advantage because they "recruit". This year the A tournament, (minus the quarter finals) was simply better hockey.

[MNHockeyFan]

I would agree that this year the A tournament had more exciting games to watch, but I would disagree that A teams play better hockey. If you're unbiased and watch closely, AA teams like Edina and Minnetonka are stronger and better defensively, which makes them harder to score against.

But from a pure entertainment point of view, at least for me, the up and down action of the A games (starting with the semi's) was more fun to watch this year.

AA is not for the big boys, its for schools with larger enrollments. i hate the two class system because of people like all of you who bash the A schools. its should be one class, but i bet if that were the case you guys would find somethign else to complain about and say how Breck is at an advantage because they "recruit". This year the A tournament, (minus the quarter finals) was simply better hockey.

Ha! that's funny... the Tonka vs. Hill game was fantastic - the defense and net-minding was awesome. Breck would be lucky to score a goal against either of the two teams. And Tonka when they were hitting they're stride earlier in the year would've beat them 5-0 - hands down.

Tonka this last year when they were hitting they're stride beat just about everyone by 5 goals. The only close games they had were against Wayzata, and EP in the regular season. The STA games were pretty good games as well!!

You are smoking something. Was the first round of the Class A Tournament hockey or football? I couldn't tell by the scores.

exactly why i said MINUS the quarterfinals.
also the person who thought that the tonka hm had anything good or well paced or anything that consisted of a good hockey game is sadly mistaken. im a fan of the one class system, thats how it should be. but to say the AA schools are just so much better is very very annoying, get over yourselves. p.s. i played at a AA school

you are actually retarted, i have a friend who got cut from a bantam a team earlier this year, and then tried out for a varsity class A team (which finished in the top 15) and made it, and was actually on the first line from mid december to the end of the year. BOTTOM LINE EDINA WON THE MINNESOTA STATE HIGH SCHOOL CHAMPIONSHIP, NOT BRECK. breck won the jv championship if they want to end the argument they will move up to aa, if it is the same level what are they afraid of???

Congratulations to Breck on winning 3rd place in the state behind Edina's HS and Jr Gold A teams

That's the best comment I've seen in a long time!!
Breck had a great team but definitely not best in state. Get in line behind Edina, Tonka, Wayzata and EP and maybe even AV and Edina JGA (priceless)

I think Breck would be a tough team for anyone to beat in AA. Simply because Brecks first line was one of the most talented in the state. And Russell gives Breck a chance to win any game at the high school level. Not saying they would win state by a landslide but I believe they would be a tough team to beat. These are just my opinions of course...

Breck won the jr gold championship or class A?

We will never know since they just don't want to step up to AA. Too bad for the kids really.
