A couple surprises on Hermantown's roster- -A bantam-eligible player is on the varsity roster (Zhukov). I don't ever recall a bantam moving up there, will this be the new norm? -Three top sophomores have left the program. (Nash and Wise to AAA, Hedley to Rock Ridge.) -Only two goalies on the entire...

YHH reporting Henry Sampair coming back to Mahtomedi for the season. Probably moves them up the rankings some.

Love the previews!

Bold take for 7A:
I-Falls wins 20 games and gets #3 seed. Looking at their schedule, I'd guess they only have one game where they won't be favored.

Below are the Class A Transfers have heard of so far this offseason. Feel free to add more. The season is close~ (Players moving to Class A Schools) RJ Wasilowski (Northfield)- Faribault Forward (29 pts) transferring to Northfield August Hansen (Waseca)- U16 Pittsburgh Defenseman returning home to ...

I think it's weird that since the MSHSL got into the business of deciding who "belongs" in A or AA, why it doesn't go both ways? If a program is too economically disadvantaged and unsuccessful to be in AA, then why can't they decide an A program is too economically advantaged and successfu...

:!: I'll be posting the final ratings tomorrow morning, but having just run the numbers: 1. Stillwater ended up #2, Moorhead #3, a flip from before the tournament (their goal differential of +8 vs +5 for Moorhead may have had something to do with this, but more likely it was a shift in SOS. I'll ex...

Interesting how these two teams don’t get crap for playing single A, with how many championships and appearances they’ve had, why do they get a pass? They get a pass because they are not in the path of Hibbing making it to state. Only Hermantown gets that wonderful distinction. If EGF of SCC were i...

Green Wave just got screwed, big time. No worse than Hibbing did in the semis. And this isn't a complaint, it's a compliment. EGF saw that the refs were gonna swallow the whistles and not call a major unless a player was actually murdered on the ice, so they let rip with the dangerous hits. By the ...

Congrats to EGF. Instead of folding after going down 5-2, they turned it on and took over.

If Hibbing makes mistakes like they have here against a team like Cathedral they will lose. Agreed! They are very casual in their own end even in the next game vs EGF or NL they will need to clean it up Also agreed! Waaaay too much cutesy dangling. Move the puck! That was the Hibbing team of the fi...

FWIW, here is how Pagestat would seed them 1. Hibbing 2. Orono 3. St. Cloud Cathedral 4. Northfield 5. East Grand Forks 6. Mahtomedi 7. Northern Lakes 8. Luverne I like using the metrics they do for seeding sections but I would probably prefer using something like pagestat to seed state. So many un...

I would find it hard not to put HIbbing at 1. They have the toughest section, and the head to head victory over SCC. And I hope they win it all! But I would not be surprised to see SCC repeat. They are peaking at the right time and have a very tournament experienced team. They will be a tough out I...

It's a wonderful, chaotic mess and I'm here for it. The parity at the tourney will be awesome to see. I think long gone are the days of 12-0 quarterfinal matchups. I could see the seeding going a lot of ways, but it wouldn't surprise me if they just end up going by the rankings. 1. Hibbing 2. SCC 3...

EGF just beat the #1 team in class A and you put them at #6? Yup. Their record is only 13-13-2. Not too impressive, even though they played a tough schedule. Record is not impressive? Seems like you are the kind of person that would have put Red Lake Falls over EGF based on record. Punishing class ...

1. Hibbing 2. SCC 3. Northfield 4. Northern Lakes 5. Orono 6. EGF 7. Mahtomedi 8. Luverne In every ranking I've seen, Hibbing was the highest ranked team to get to state, they had to beat the #2 and #4 teams to get there, and they beat the next highest ranked team, Cathedral, 6-3. Hibbing is an obv...

I think it's worth it. 95% of the time I have had no issues. Some of the rinks have HD cameras, but the ones that have the Live Barn cameras don't always have the best quality. The only real annoying part is in some arenas you can't see the scoreboard and they don't have it in a little window in the...

Fantastic game! Just awesome to see the two freshman make the game-winning play. Incredible!

Some juicy ones. I will watch live, my first ever Rock Ridge game... Rock Ridge v Grand Rapids - Game of the night WBL v Minnetonka - Maximum uncertainty but should be very entertaining Blaine v Rogers - Can Rogers pass the test Andover v Totino-Grace - Can Pizza Roll hockey continue their surge?

Tough loss for Hibbing. They were all over Rock Ridge for most of the game, outshooting them 27-14, lots of chances. But credit to RR for capitalizing on a couple chances and packing it in around their goalie during the flurries. RR goalie was rock solid tonight, pun intended. Hibbing's breakouts an...
