Yes it is Zamman, along with Arden Hills, New Brighton, North Oaks and parts of Vadnais Heights. Its not suprising that some of these kids end up at private schools, they can afford the best (or perceived best). I think Hill is closest to the east (richer) side of the district (North Oaks & Vadnais), and Totino the west.Zamman wrote:I just read that this was your 18th post and you are from Shoreview...is that MV district?

Welcome to Minnesota High School Hockey, kid. You're feeling what several other programs have felt for decades.

Johnson had a real good team in the 80s. If they'd have had all their kids they'd have been great.Govs93 wrote:Welcome to Minnesota High School Hockey, kid. You're feeling what several other programs have felt for decades.

If you were a kid of high school age living in the city of Mounds View, you'd actually attend Irondale HS. Most of the kids who live in New Brighton also attend Irondale HS. The Shoreview, North Oaks, Vadnais Heights, and Arden Hills kids attend Mounds View HS (the latter city being MVHS's location). Both high schools are part of the same district. Many of Irondale's athletic programs suffer student losses to Totino-Grace, which is about half way between Irondale HS and Fridley HS.

Where is the city of Irondale?
If you follow the Yellow Brick Road north, you'll see that's it's just to the east of Oz.Neutron 14 wrote:Well that clears things up!The Exiled One wrote:If you were a kid of high school age living in the city of Mounds View, you'd actually attend Irondale HS.

Well Tony, I was just kidding about the City of Irondale. I get a wee bit of flak around here about living in the City of Centennial. White Bear was 2 schools, with WB Mariner opening in the 73-74 school year to educate the boomers on the finer side of town. Right wbmd? Enrollment dropped and they merged to reform one school using two campuses. Their current enrollment of 2476 places them ninth on the MSHSL list. Stillwater, Coon Rapids, and Champlin Park are a few of the "hockey powers" with a larger enrollment.Tony Civ wrote: There is no actuall city of Irondale it is just another high school within the Mounds View School District. We basically have two high schools for one district. Kinda the opposite of what White Bear has. They have one school on one side of the city for freshman and sophmores and an entire different campus for the juniors and seniors. So basically they have 1 sports team for two different schools, but one giant city. Thats why they are good at hockey for some part.
WB is good at hockey because its a hockey town. MV/Irondale isnt. Thats not to disparage their fine schools in any way.

It's getting better actually. I believe Irondale varsity now plays their home games at the Superrink, which though shared, is still head and shoulders above Columbia. I live in MV and have seen way more youth hockey yard signs, backyard rinks, and kids shooting pucks in their driveways than I ever saw growing up. Not that any particular programs are dramatically dropping, but I think Irondale is one program that's on the rise. I can't really speak to MVHS's situation. The Knights have got a nice young team this year and a talented forward named Travis Baker. Iverson is a junior with some good potential. If they got some goaltending and defense, they might actually start do some damage.Neutron 14 wrote:WB is good at hockey because its a hockey town. MV/Irondale isnt.

I've got two kids still in diapers, but I'm going to get in the habit of flooding the backyard this winter.

The kids could have stayed and played for their old home town of Mounds View at Mounds View High School ........ah, which is actually in Arden Hills.
But Neut, at least there actually is a town called Mounds View instead of some mythical James A. Michner place .
