Just a reminder that voting is open through tomorrow and we can use all your help. We are competing against communities that are 10 times our size so we need help from our state of hockey community.

I appreciate all the views and no one bashing the thread so thanks to all of you for that. I have added another link to a web site that was created by our association to help with the voting. I know everyone's time is valuable but any help you can give is greatly appreciated.

So 50 votes per method, per person, per day. Wow. Would be wise to organize a voting party of some sort. Kids love to text, I know, I see them buried in their phones all the time.

I just chipped in 5 for you guys. I'll send off a few more whne I have some more time.

Thanks for the help! The schools have organized something for the kids so they have some time during the day to vote.

Is there a second vote for this?

Actually three votes to get to the final winner. This vote will narrow down the final four - top two from West and top two from East.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone that was able to help out with a few votes. The final four winners will be announced sometime tomorrow and if we are fortunate enough to move on to the next round, voting for round two will be April 21-22.

Haha I love the video for Sault Ste. Marie.

The way the guys says "Sault High Blue Devil hockey team" is hilarious

Good luck. If STMA doesn't win is there a class version for small schools where they could compete better - you know like Hermantown.

woodstickguy · Post by **woodstickguy** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 8:51 am

Most of you have probably heard that STMA did advance to the next round. We obviously are getting support from the hockey community so that is greatly appreciated!

Voting for the next round starts tomorrow Tuesday April 21st through Wednesday April 22nd so it is only a two day vote this time. If you voted last time, you know it is pretty easy. If you haven't voted, all you do is click on the link below and click on the vote button for St. Michael - Albertville - you will be require to enter your name and email address but you can select not to receive any advertising emails when signing up. The on line voting is pretty easy, the text vote is pretty easy and the call in isn't bad just takes more time. You can vote 50 times each day per method. Any votes we can get are of course appreciated.

The link to the hockeyville site is below and I have also included a link to our own web site which helps explain the voting process.

Bump.

Voted. You guys definitely need a new arena/renovation. Place is a barn with no seating.

Thanks for the support! Seating is definitely an issue I hope they address right away. It is a fun atmosphere to fill the place but hard to see when you are standing 5 deep around the boards.

Voting is open today and tomorrow at the link below:

woodstickguy · Post by **woodstickguy** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 8:43 am

Just your friendly reminder to vote today. It's as easy as texting Albertville to 35350 up to 50 times. You can also go online to www.krafthockeyville.com and vote for St. Michael - Albertville up to 50 times. You can also call in up to 50 times to 855-255-5975 and press 4.

The website gets pounded during the day so it can be slow and calling sometimes won't go through. It does seem to ease up later in the day.

Any votes you can give are appreciated!
