ESPG
To answer your question, the Big Ten has never won an NCAA Hockey Championship since the conference was formed in 2013.
Also, there have been four cases of a 16 seed beating a 1. Two of those were St. Cloud State, under Motzko, losing in back to back years.

The latest in what is becoming a trend: the Gophers underachieving at the end of the season.Was there some shaky officiating? Sure, but that's part of hockey. The fact of the matter is that the Gophers controlled the game for two periods hten, as noted above, they went into a shell in the third peri...

Why can't there be holiday tournaments/showcases this year? (ESPG is correct. If you're not playing down to a champion, it is not a tournament). Christmas Eve is Wednesday, Christmas Day is Thursday. You could play Monday, Tuesday and Friday. There's no law that says games have to be played on three...

I guess if you're a goalie in the championship game, you make the all tournament team. Stehnhejm (sp?) gave up 13 goals in 3 games and Conway gave up more goals in the first period tonight than the Shakopee kid did in all three games combined.

LOL. ESPG would be holding the front door to the school for Conway every morning, maybe even Uber him every day from Andover! We like to point out when the public school pot calls the private school kettle black. There is pointing it out and then there is pointing it out. There is also pointing it ...

Conway is an amazingly talented goaltender. My only problem is that he shouldn't be playing. He, and/or his parents, cheated and got caught. How he suddenly becomes eligiible for the post-season is one of those mystifying decisions which the MSHSL is famous for. That being said, Stillwater is playin...

MSHSL has no interest in enforcing the transfer rule because of the potential legal action that would follow in most cases. When they are put in a situation where they have to act, they do so like they did in the Conway case, declare a player ineligible for most of the regular season, but allow the...

I think the 140,000 number referred to AA and A combined.

So they just reserve a night for the finals at all 3 rinks? And then what are their factors for deciding once the 2 teams are known I am not sure how they reserve them but they try to split the mileage. In this case Bemidji has about 90 miles and Moorhead about 110 miles. Section 8A rotates from Ea...

I didn't see any of the Rosemount/Centennial game, but I would not be surprised if one of the keys was the fact that Rosemount was making its third straight trip to state while Centennial didn'thave that kind of tournament experience.

1. Lakeville

Sparlimb Those who are really old like me will recall the final game of the 1982-83 season when an undefeated Hill Murray team went down to Rochester and fell behind John Marshall 7-1. They got a goal late in the second period to make it 7-2 then scored five times in the third, including two shortie...

Not my area but for the 4AA folks Stillwater now has their goalie for Sections https://x.com/YouthHockeyHub/status/1887664853197668712 Cal Conway back in net for the Ponies That’s huge. Legit 4AA threat now. Conway makes Stillwater a bigger threat, but considering they couldn't beat Forest Lake ton...

Even if Edina did play section games at Braemar, chances are pretty good that none of the coaches in their section are so stupid that they think visible banners and trophy cases make a difference.

For many years, the Classic Suburban/Metro East teams all played each other twice. A few years back the conference schedule was adjusted so that now the only teams HM, STA and Mahtomedi play twice are each other. This has been beneficial fo everyone. The weaker teams don't have to get blown out by t...

Agree that St. Thomas' resume is currently stronger than Hill's. That will even out in the next month or so when Hill plays Tonka, Grand Rapids, Benilde, Stillwater, Rogers, Moorhead and Edina twice plus the fact that Hill and STA play each other twice. It would be a surprise if both teams are not a...

Anyone know how the picked the games being played for the Tradition Holiday Invitational? Hill has a soft draw compared to every other team in the tourney. Is this because they didn't want Hill playing STA & Edina 3 times this year (we're already scheduled to play both twice)? Or is it purely a...

There is one very simple way to deal with the ever increasing number of transfers, which is a problem in all sports, not just hockey. Just make it a rule that any player who transfers after his/her ninth grade year is ineligible for varsity competition for one year. Granted, some kids who transfer f...

I fully agree with the idea that sopmething should be done about the imbalance in sections. While it would be nice to see AA sections re-aligned so that two sections are not so top heavy, that is not going to happen given the MSHSL criteria for drawing section boundaries. I'mnot susre there would be...

Well, Stilwater and White Bear both lost multiple section finals to HM.
To be fair, they both won some too.

slacsap

Let's see
HM since 2006
19 consecutive appearances in the section final
14 state tournament appearances in that time
Played in the state championship game four times
Won two state titles

Yep, definitely sounds like a team that is constantly overrated.

slacsap

BTW, I thought the officiating in the tournament was very good overall.

I was watching the game with some friends and some of them were of the opinion that there should have been matching penalties on the play which led to ther power play where Edina scored the winning goal. The way I saw it, it appeared the refs were going to call nothing and then the Chanhassen took t...
