You gotta wonder what type of hold the private schools have on the high school league. Giving the private schools options to move up to AA or remain A while forcing co-ops to AA based on combined enrollment is not a level playing field. In the states to study the minny model I find it hard rationali...

Minnesota Hockey and the MSHSL should look at this as a another example of the success of the grass roots model this state is known for. Having the WHL seeking out our players to give them the opportunity to compete in the best junior league in the world and a fast track to the professional level on...

My mistake on #10 for Roseau, I'll have to make a note of that, was going on a local source. Can see why his emotions came out at the end. I'm sure this will not be his last competitive game he will play. Moorhead- No question on overall record who has had the most success. My sources tell me that t...

Good game played by the two teams. The Roseau team had as many chances as Brainerd but the Brainerd goalie come up strong. I can say the difference was that Brainerd was better at controlling the puck more in the offensive end by being able to gain ground inside for the second and third shot. Braine...

Elliott you should pass your wisdom on to the MSHSL. Only changes would be to flip flop Northern Lakes with I. Falls. Need to find a place for Fergus Falls and Little Falls in the mix. It is a shame that young programs that need to Co-Op to have a team are put into AA based only on total enrollment ...

Why wouldn't those teams opt up to play AA then? Opting up wouldn't change the conference play. Would also cut back on the geographic make up of 8AA. As of now 8AA has more central Minnesota teams and isn't a true representation of the NW section of the state. Heaven forbid the time 8AA and 7AA are ...

Some of the folk I've talked to said that East Grand Forks is the best team in 8A and AA when they get it going. Warroad and Thief River Falls are equally dangerous . Would be worth the time to see who really is the the best and have that team represent the section at AA State. :wink:

you're right 9-3 sectional play for Brainerd , 6-1-1 for Moorhead. Brainerd loss to Tech 1-1 didn't help and Moorhead sweeping Roseau helped. Should be a good final in Bemidji. Don't book your rooms yet Spudnut. :lol:

8AA

How can Moorhead be #1 with five sectional wins and Brainerd seated #2 with 10 sectional wins?
