Do you consider yourself a bigger fan of single A or double AA hockey?

A few years back I might have said AA, and that's still where I focus a lot of my attention, both because of my own leanings and the general talent pool/quality of the hockey. That said, A has its own pleasures, and watching teams make do with thinner talent pools yet still lay it all out there can be just as fun. And when a once-in-a-generation group does come through a Class A school, it's well worth going to watch. From a neutral standpoint, there haven't been as many teams I've enjoyed as much as that East Grand Forks group to roll through a couple years ago. The Hanowski years in Little Falls were a treat, too. And there's history at both levels...hell, I'm spending three hours in my car tomorrow to go watch a game between two Class A teams with little to no shot at a State Tournament, and the atmosphere there might be better than in any AA game I see before sections.

Generally speaking, I enjoy & follow AA hockey more, but I do somewhat try to keep tabs on what's going on in A. I've really enjoyed the Class A semis on Friday afternoon, although last year was somewhat of a dud. Hopefully this year can go back to form.
One of my favorite games over the past 10-15 years was the Hermantown-Mahtomedi wild OT semifinal.

I attend more AA big games. However, if a good A game is on the calendar, I will try to attend. I need to do a northern tour of the classic rinks on the range (A) schools one of these years. Really enjoy the region finals at Parade with section 2. Think that is a perfect venue for the teams that compete. Also, enjoy seeing various holiday tournaments. So my vote AA--If I can figure out how to vote. GB

Easily a top 3 most exciting hockey game I have ever been to. I think that almost anyone there would agree.Doc Holliday wrote:Generally speaking, I enjoy & follow AA hockey more, but I do somewhat try to keep tabs on what's going on in A.
