Re: 7AA Final - #1 Grand Rapids vs. #2 Rock Ridge

Winner of this game likely gets a Thursday game with either Moorhead, Minnetonka ( Chanhassen has a say yet), or possibly Edina. Whoever wins tonight will need to play even better next week. I’ll be following as close as possible tonight while waiting for my first grandson to be born. He could show...

Re: 7A Final - #1 Hibbing vs. #3 CEC

Do we want to bring up the elephant in the room. Was that goaltender interference or not? 8) That's gotta be GI 7 out of 10 times. From what I saw the defender pushed or guided the Hibbing player toward the crease, goalie contact was made, but there was no effort from the Hibbing player to evacuate...

Re: 4AA semi-finals

WBL beats Stillwater in OT. Seems like another year of upsets. That stretches the definition of 'upset', to put it mildly. It's a near even money game in most years, and even more so this year. No one who paid attention to Stillwater down the stretch was surprised by this in the least. Good to know...

I'm picking Cloquet in this one

Lee
That was a 2-0 at the end of the rush, I really thought he was gonna pass it over.

Re: 7AA Final - #1 Grand Rapids vs. #2 Rock Ridge

Should be a fun one! In late January Rock Ridge edged GR 4-3 in Virginia. I would say GR is peaking right now but will it be enough? Rock ridge has some higher end players.

I'll take GR 4-3 this go around.

I find it easy and convenient having it all in one spot. Hopefully others can chime in with scoring updat...

Re: AA Rankings for 12/14/25

Also, as I’ve complained in previous posts, 7AA is hot garbage this year. 1AA and 7AA are the jokes of the state. Think how much better 1AA would be this year if Rosemount was in it and Lakeville South didn’t get a free pass to state every year. In 7AA, until Hermantown mans up and finally moves up...

Don’t worry Hermantown will steal a Hibbing player or two and make their annual trips. It’s what they do I was going to say something similar. As long as Hermantown keeps landing the top players from Duluth, Hibbing, Virginia, pretty much anywhere in the Northern Minnesota area, Hibbing won't go an...

Re: Games Thursday 2-27-25

I thought the moment was getting to Rock Ridge. I saw a lot of bobbled passes even when working the PP, players falling down going for a loose puck, it just didn't seem like a very clean game from them. I did like the gutsy call at the end to pull the goalie for the PP.
