Wrong! In the 99-00 season, Carlson, (who wasn't playing by midseason) Kehler and Krengel were the only late transfers. I know Krengel's parents well, and they sent him to Hill for many reasons, hockey being about #4 on list. Kehler wasn't playing in his former school, and no one "snipes" a kid on the bench. His sister attended as well - maybe she was part of the whole recruitment deal? And if you were at Hill, how many good players left or were asked to leave around that time because they couldn't cut it academically, had poor attitudes or got in too much trouble off the ice? Don't start throwing around accustations about ethics when you're clearly uninformed. (And your poor Hill English teacher must feel like a failure - "bored"? "inagural"? No wonder you hate the school - $6500 down the tubes).CityHockey11 wrote:I graduated from Hill not too far back (ok it coming up on eight years, but who's counting?), and I have nothing but disdain and loathing for the Pioneers hockey program. I have not been on this bored long, in fact this is my inagural post, but no one mentions how blantently they recruit. Of course you can have this great hockey dynasty (this cannot be denied), if you are sniping a goalie from this school and your entire second line from another (this being back in 99-00). If this is deemed to be an acceptable practice, then fine, but then don't claim that you are all on a level playing field. A.B.H.M. (anybody but hill murray).
HM 1999-2000
The Kehlers moved from Edina to Woodbury. He and his sister enrolled at HM. He wasn't stolen from anyone. That 2000 team is one of my favorites. They lost twice to WBL during the regular season. Kehler and the Pioneers played a great section final game winning 2-0 with an empty netter.

SS UNDEFEATED 28 (...a legend in his wn mind ...)
Seeing Delaney "Lou" Metcalf's dad at the 2008 section final reminded me of the story behind the only player in Hill history to wear #13 on his jersey...
Last January 13th, Lou honored the memory of his sister, Erin, and her birthday... by scoring the first goal of his varsity career... with 13 minutes left... in Hill's 13th game of the 2006-07 season.
Without realizing at the time, I started the Hill's Year thread exactly 13 months later and somehow skipped the 13th reason...
Reason #13 why this is Hill's year:
Lou Metcalf will score the last, game-winning goal of the regular season and the Hornet-smashing, last goal anyone will score in this year's State Tournament.
Though his sister is in Heaven, she never misses a Hill-Murray hockey game.
