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 ...

Re: AA Rankings for 12/14/25

Karl, as always, does great work. My only beef with the rankings this week is Edina’s very high ranking seems based on what could be versus what has been so far this season. Also, Cretin and Holy Angels definitely deserve to be ranked, but Cretin has looked shaky against inferior teams and, versus t...

Re: Games 12/9

7 of the top 10 Class A teams are from outside the metro. Can we do the opposite of what you suggest for Class A? One combined metro section and 7 outstate sections? 8) Speaking about the 'top ten class A teams' is pretty weak tea. I say that because it's been discussed frequently how the class A t...

Re: Games 12/9

We would have had a different champion in AA many times in the last 30 years if we had 1 class. No doubt about it. Warroad and Hermantown would have depleted a few AA trophy cases alone. So your point is………..? 7AA is now as weak as 1AA without Andover and the other metro teams the MSHSL has shipped...

Re: Games 12/9

Also, 7A is far superior to 7AA this year. Can they flip come playoffs so we have a good team out of northeast MN playing in the 7AA state tourney this year? Rapids is 14-3 on Thursday night in St. Paul. 10-4 on Friday night. 4-6 on Saturday night. I’m all ears. That’s the past. I’m focused on the ...

Re: Games 12/9

7AA is the new doormat of Class AA. They moved Andover out of the section to get rid of all strong metro programs but I’m calling it now: Forest Lake wins 7AA this year.

Re: Games 12/6

Eden Prairie 5-4 in OT over Maple Grove. EP, which hadn’t won coming into game but was scoring at a 50% clip on the powerplay, scored on their first four power plays of the game. The only PP MG killed was EP’s 5th one of the game. MG was better team even strength, outscoring EP 4-1 (EP’s lone even s...

Re: Class AA Preseason Rankings

If Edina loses Schneider, West, Pittsley, and Vandertop as has been predicted, it will be by far the greatest talent exodus Edina has suffered in history. In past years, the loss of one or two star players has been enough to drop the Hornets from being a state championship contender, while in other...

Re: 2025-26 Early Departure Watch List

Why was Suter up in Moorhead anyways? After Dallas, the fam said f it and didn't go to STL and instead settled on a one year lease in Moorhead?? He lived with Matt Cullen and played for the Spuds Bantam team that won state. It is very hard for kids to participate in high-level youth hockey while th...

Re: AA Preseason Rankings for 2025-2026

Great work as always. I don’t recall another pre-season like this one with so many questions and curveballs swirling around who is gonna be playing where. Sign of the times I guess.

Re: 2025-26 Early Departure Watch List

The MSHSL and Minnesota Hockey at this point should just come out and publicly admit that there are no eligibility rules based on where you live or where you played last year (or earlier this year). You can live wherever you want to now and play for whoever you want to. There are zero rules being f...

Re: 2025-26 Early Departure Watch List

First, this particular incident was not a MH event. So not absurd. Second, how many players in district 3? How many paid staff in d3? Third, if you know for a fact this is happening, why are you not reporting it to MH so it can be investigated? As my old boss used to say, if you are not part of the...

Re: 2025-26 Early Departure Watch List

"Returns to Edina" is funny given he played for Moorhead last season. Yeah, leave it to Minnesota Hockey to allow a free for all in youth hockey. This is not a Minesota Hockey controlled event. And MH (at least most directors) work very hard at regulating movement. It is discussed frequen...
