Re: Parent Coaches at High School?

I am very well versed in the girls high school hockey scene. And yes from an outside perspective it would seem to work well for the H-M girls. They are a loaded team that has had a ton of success. With that being said even in that situation it is not as clear cut as it may seem. Calling Johnny Pohl...

Re: QRF Ranking AA

STA still too low. They are my favorite heading into sections. Most complete team.

Re: Parent Coaches at High School?

Curious what the overall thought of the great hockey minds on this forum is about parent coaches at the high school level. I know in one case it has been very detrimental to a team. Blatant parent favoritism. Doesn't matter that it's an assistant when they coach the position of their son. This has ...

So the Strib left the old site up and it still works. To get their, go to the new girls hockey hub and click on "Historical Data". From there, you can search for any team, or if you see a link to MSHSL, click that and then schedule to get into the schedule. To make it easier for me, I just...

Re: Changes to State Tournament Schedule

They did the same for the girl's tourney. #1 seed plays at 11 AM. It is usually this biggest blowout, but still, I like the #1 seed getting prime time. I've always felt the 11 AM game is the prime game for upsets, because teams aren't used to playing so early in the day and often come out flat. Will...

Re: 2026 State Tournament

Where do you watch the girls tourney on Wednesday and Thursday stream? NSPN? Yes. NSPN will have them for free. I'm 99% sure its free, but I have a subscription every year, so I wouldn't notice. In some ways, the Wed-Thurs broadcasts work nicer then 45 tv which has connection issues all the time.

While that's true, Warroad and Dodge County will be heard from. Although Breck looks like a strong favorite this year.

Re: AA Rankings for 2/1/26

1AA is the biggest and longest running joke in HS hockey.

Re: AA Rankings for 1/25/26

I'm tempted to head down to Aldrich on my last day in town. I haven't seen a good HM v East matchup in many a moon. Anyone else going?

Of course, I'm also tempted by Centennial and HM in girl's, which is a #1 v #2 matchup tonight up in Lino Lakes.

Re: AA Rankings for 1/11/26

Would Edina have been #1 without the STMA blunder? Good question, and one I had not pondered since the STMA loss happened first. I might have gone Spuds-Edina-Tonka in that instance, though I wouldn't have felt great about that. Well Edina has a few losses and Tonka and Moorhead one each. So I woul...

I can see now, Woodbury, who plays one good team all year (bsm) will be one loss or undefeated again going into sections and will likely be gifted the #1 seed. Doesn't really matter, as I'd be surprised if they could give HM a game, but there's always that chance. Its good for Woodbury though, as th...

Wait until HM sweeps Edina and Karl then has to figure out where to rank them. That would be funny.

Yeah, they stuffed the rankings behind the paywall. But the old site still works, can still see the schedule, the teams, their schedule. The new site is trash.

Games 11/25

HM playing their first game of the year looking really good against EP. 5-1 score after 2. Also watching my HM girls up 4-1 at Edina in a state championship rematch.

STA beats up 5-0 on Holy Angels
Hibbing up 3-1 on Cloquet. Hibbing started the year beating CDH. Look to be the real deal.

Well the season is underway and had our first big matchup of the year with Holy Family going into Braemar and defeating Edina 3-2.
