You can view the data through school districts as well as counties.
Hennepin County now up to 78.1 cases per 10,000 people. Ramsey at 78.3. Other than Edina and EP, it's hard to find any school districts under the "send all your kids to distance learning" threshold of 50 per 10,000.

Re: MSHSL Oct 1st Meeting (Boys Hockey Season Fate)
I’ll let Elliott confirm or deny this but, I’ve been told by those I trust at the state level that the MH Board has taken a position that they will not shut youth hockey down on a statewide basis. Rather, they’ll wait for the governor to do it. That doesn’t preclude a district director pausing activity in their district or, an individual association pausing on their own as well. Again, Elliott will have the best info on this and can confirm or deny what I was told.InThePipes wrote: ↑Thu Nov 12, 2020 7:31 amDo these developments cause MHCA, MN Hockey or MSHSL to change their course for the upcoming season?InThePipes wrote: ↑Wed Nov 11, 2020 12:16 pm And it seems like every time I check Twitter, there's another school board voting to postpone youth athletics for weeks/months (Duluth, Bloomington, St. Peter, etc.).

Re: MSHSL Oct 1st Meeting (Boys Hockey Season Fate)
My question was more around MSHSL still trying to pull off a season that seems to be increasingly difficult as school boards across the state postpone youth athletics, as opposed to leagues for HS aged players being set-up and run under the MH umbrella (e.g. bridge season becomes "the" season throughout the winter)?Wise Old Man wrote: ↑Thu Nov 12, 2020 11:24 amI’ll let Elliott confirm or deny this but, I’ve been told by those I trust at the state level that the MH Board has taken a position that they will not shut youth hockey down on a statewide basis.

The DD control their respective districts.
The Governor can shut thigs down but the biggest concern is control of the rinks.
Most communities in District 16 are run by a local government or the local hockey program. Some are controlled by the local school.
For the most part school boards will not be shutting down hockey programs.
Re: MSHSL Oct 1st Meeting (Boys Hockey Season Fate)
I don't think the Governor has much more time before he has to do something definitive to stop viral spread, if he's going to.
7,200 positive cases today in MN with a 15% positivity rate.
Remember - current decisions are being made based on an average of 1,900+ cases per day.

Re: MSHSL Oct 1st Meeting (Boys Hockey Season Fate)
Posted this on the MH and Covid thread as well...The six New England states and New Jersey just coordinated shutting youth and high school hockey down until at least Jan.1st.

Remember, their youth seasons start about three to four weeks earlier than ours...

My bad, they're suspending any interstate competition. Not shutting down the sport completely. My sincere apologies for that mistake. Still very significant though.
Re: MSHSL Oct 1st Meeting (Boys Hockey Season Fate)
I have heard that Maine has suspended all junior league teams' games as well. Granted, that is only three teams I believe, but still throws other teams' schedules out.Wise Old Man wrote: ↑Thu Nov 12, 2020 4:45 pm My bad, they're suspending any interstate competition.

Also, the Ivy League has cancelled all winter sports. That means the ECAC will be without those hockey teams this season.

He can have a standardized PCR at/below 35. Fauci says anything above that is basically tracing false positives. there's no standard and many tests run at 40 or above.jg2112 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 12, 2020 12:48 pm I don't think the Governor has much more time before he has to do something definitive to stop viral spread, if he's going to.

Means more cases. But they're not contagious.
Re: MSHSL Oct 1st Meeting (Boys Hockey Season Fate)
Sounds like governor and Department of health may be canceling all sports this week

Doesn't help the cause to keep things open when you get parents like this making it all about themselves.

I don't want to sound insensitive in any way to anyone's plight. You only get a limited window of opportunity for youth or high school athletics. For most HS athletes, once they graduate, their days of organized athletics are done, or at least greatly diminished. Softball once a week in a beer league isn't the same as practices & games 5 or 6 or 7 days a week. I get that.
But I do think it's helpful to take a broad perspective here. In WWII, people gave up a lot more, for more than a year (or so), and some of those people were under great stress. Some families had 2, or 3, or 4 guys in the service. Times got tough, and they got tough.
Games are fun, and fun is important. We're all sports nuts here. But games are, in the end, just games. It's a good lesson for kids to know that it's sucks to miss their sport, and maybe their final season, but there are things more important than sports. Most of those kids will face greater set backs than that between graduation and the day they pass this veil of tears.

Click on the link then click on the video and you will see a news story about mshsl. it has lots of hockey clips and talks to Joe Miller from Blake about how he is going to bypass his senior year because of the uncertainty surrounding high school hockey
Re: MSHSL Oct 1st Meeting (Boys Hockey Season Fate)
COVID may have been the nail in the coffin for his decision, but Joe Miller was almost certainly leaving Blake regardless of the MSHSL actions.HockeyCrazy1970 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 24, 2020 9:08 am Click on the link then click on the video and you will see a news story about mshsl. it has lots of hockey clips and talks to Joe Miller from Blake about how he is going to bypass his senior year because of the uncertainty surrounding high school hockey
