Actually, I like the idea. Develop a Pairwise system and take the top 64 and organize them into four regions in the state.

Re: Any comments on the Gophers game?

Anyone blaming the refs need to look at how that third period went for the Gophers. The team went into turtle mode yet again. Game had no business going to OT. Motzko needs to go.

Re: Section Changes

Rogers in 6AA had to be some kind of April Fool's Joke. Maple Grove should be playing in 6AA then.

Good job MSHSL for messing up high school hockey in MN. Your gold star is in the mail. Wear it proudly.

Re: Coaching Changes

I had a feeling that Twigs may have coached his last game at EP after that Holy Family loss, but didn’t want to speculate publicly out of respect.

Re: Never too early for rankings…

I'm not sold on placing Cretin super high up either. They do bring back Chorlton and Anderson if they don't leave early. They lose Dodig to graduation, which hurts their physical game a bit. Putting them top 3 feels like Shakopee or Rogers from this past season...not sure they are going to live up t...

Re: AA Title Game- #1 Moorhead vs #2 Stillwater

Stillwater let Moorhead play their game...score fast and often and Stillwater got away from taking the body and trying to slow the game down. Once Moorhead scored the three early goals, I knew the title was theirs.

Refs and umps take such a beating now from everyone. I can’t imagine even wanting to put up with that. I’d be crawling into the stands and going at it in the first period. And I’m old. 😂 Ha!

Re: Another tourney!

Another thing I noticed at the tournament is how much they are pushing people to sign up to officiate. You would swear that youth sports are on the verge of collapse due to lack of officials. And maybe they are? Don’t know how much of a crisis it is.
