I can only count two. Dobchuck from EP and Schemenauer from CC.

Re: AA QF - #6 Andover vs. #3 Edina

Dunno if it’s the opponent (not that Gentry was much of a match), but Edina looks REALLY good. Definitely living up to their name buzzing all over the place.

Not only that but it could be 3-0 already. Forecheck is relentless and bodies flying!

Re: AA QF - #8 Gentry Academy vs. #1 Minnetonka

Tonka is definitely stacked as far as the pipeline goes. Sure, you have a move in here and there and it can be debated that a lot are not homegrown talent (ie. Pulling from outside of Minnetonka borders), but a lot of those kids have been in the association for a while. On the flip side you're also ...

Damn. We really need STP hockey to come back from the ashes. I know the ship has sailed but how much better would this be to see STP vs. Minneapolis, North vs. Metro, Public vs. Private, etc.

Re: A QF- #1 Hibbing vs #8 Dodge County

I think Gentry beat Dodge County in the championship in 2021. Not sure though. I went back and looked. You're right, Gentry beat Dodge County 8-1 in the championship game. No mention of Hermantown in that tournament. Hermantown was 19-1 and the #1 seed. Lost to DC in the quarters due to covid expos...

Re: Bantams still a good predictor of HS success

Apologies for the dumb question here but can someone explain why the talent time and time again chooses to go to Hill/CDH and not Woodbury/Eastridge? Woodbury public schools aren't bad by any means and I've always heard good things about Coach Vogel so what's the deal? Obviously hard to deny the tra...

Re: Bantams to High School

A thread for discussing feeder teams and how they will affect the high school scene. I’m intrigued by the top 10 BAA SLP/Coon Rapids team. Will most of those players end up playing for the high school co-op? Would be awesome to see them continue their success. The only place I can see a kid going t...

I really just think there is movement everywhere at this point.
Nothing against them but those two were likely not going to make or get barely any playing time in Edina when they bounced.

Re: 6AA Final - #2 Edina vs #4 Wayzata

Seemed like McConnell was going for a hard dump in, with the intent for the puck to angle back out in front and he'd try to beat the defenseman to it. Angled to the back of the goal instead, where it then took its interesting route. Wayzata had more shots in the 3rd, but really didn't have many goo...

Re: 7A Final - #1 Hibbing vs. #3 CEC

Do we want to bring up the elephant in the room. Was that goaltender interference or not? 8) That's gotta be GI 7 out of 10 times. From what I saw the defender pushed or guided the Hibbing player toward the crease, goalie contact was made, but there was no effort from the Hibbing player to evacuate...

Re: 2AA Semifinal #1

8) I'm just going to say there's probably a zero% chance of that despite what the kid may feel. Why not stick around and play HS hockey? No idea but the board has debated this a million times right?
