Had to come out of retirement for this one. I was at each of the three days of the girls state tournament this year. Biggest crowd I saw was at the day games on Thursday. Why? Because the kids get out of school to attend! If MSHSL would hold the entire tournament W-TH-F during the day, the attendanc...

I have heard that the rosters won't be up until Friday but I don't know why. <p></p><i></i>

But FACMAN, is there something between the lines? "All the EP people do..." as if maybe you're not "EP people?"<br><br>Grow another layer of skin for crying out loud. It's not easy being on top...! <br><br> <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :p --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/em...

I'd have to go with SSP - if they don't let you cherry pick, EP especially isn't going to score. Ever notice # 15 digging in the corners behind her own net? Not very often - always floating for the breakout and the stick handle around the D. I only saw 2 of the 3 games at State but it only got 1 goa...

What was that Just2Bob said? The idea behind B&A is college scout exposure?<br><br>How many on MN Rapids or Walser rosters aren't already signed up with a college?<br> <p></p><i></i>

As for a residence change - go for it. Living in the school district is the real rule IMO. Yes, you'll take the place of a kid who lived there pre-high school, which isn't good. But there are far fewer people who literally move their families so their little Mary Anne Gaborik can play hockey, than t...

Thanks for clarifying, Hubbaa! Edina has had a lot of success going to the schools to drum up interest in the girls program. <br><br>That's sad to hear that SSP stopped doing it. Was that for all sports or just hockey? Either way it's a shame.<br><br>As for the older girls, I was not referring to T-...

I like Rube's best point - what's going to happen to the youth programs? <br><br>Look at SSP. When the "big 3" were just getting started at SSPHS, they had had a lot of success in the youth program. Then a whole bunch of transfers to SSP appeared and a bunch of the SSPHS girls quit and joi...

Were any of EP's goals scored entirely by home town heroes? I was there but didn't keep track. I know transfers scored and assisted on most of the goals. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :( --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=":("><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i...

I do not know. However, I'll start the early betting line on EP winning again next year since there are "more to come" in 2006-07. I cannot name names since we won't know "for sure" until September, but I was saddened tonight. And as the Big Green Whiner, my team will have to get...

As for the Strib's photo of the empty bowl, remember this photo was taken during the pre-game warm-up, and the Zambonis came out after that. So that puts the photo at no later than 10:50 am. Have you ever seen the seats in Mariucci 10 minutes before game time? LOTS of empty seats there too. Biased p...

There was audio of the game play-by-play on the www.crystalclearsports.net page. You have to click on the "Girls Hockey" link and then to the game of your choice - I presume at the correct time of the game. <br><br>I was not feeling well last night so I only listened to part of the 2nd per...

Try this: www.crystalclearsports.net will have free streaming audio coverage over the net on Thursday. They are the people who "televised" the Schwan's cup. Looks like there is no video however Thursday, but don't take my word for it, I just looked at the web page and didn't dig too deep. ...

Yo FACMAN, grow another layer of skin! It's not easy being on top... <p></p><i></i>

I contacted Sports Huddle early this season and found out our coach was the one who had the access. Somehow the other team must have gotten the info in quicker nearly every time. That also shows on the "huddle" when the game details show the individual stats for only 1 team! Eventually I t...

I reported the stats for Edina. The coach gave me a list of e-dresses including the papers, AP and some of the TV stations. Often as not SportsHuddle would have the results posted before I was finished entering my e-mails, but I sent them anyhow. The Strib newspaper reports were not mine because I w...

I was there too. EP wins. Remove the first 7 minutes of the game when EP scored their first 2 goals (the 1st was scored at something like 28 seconds) and it's a different game. EP won the first period by more than Edina won the 2nd and 3rd. Edina was obviously very nervous from the opening faceoff. ...

We may think the Ridder was built for the women but the Gopher men were very happy to have it built. Why? So they could practice on "small" ice as opposed to Olympic size ice in Mariucci. Not everyone has "big" ice so they really have the best of both worlds. Of course the women ...

It's up to US to put out butts in the seats at either venue. Until "the public" sees that girls hockey can draw a decent crowd, it'll be looked down on as a 2nd class sport.<br><br>I don't know how many games I'll get to myself, but my wife & kid went to all of the Ridder games the las...
